* HeadPet: It's easy to miss, but Dynamike is hiding a [[CanaryInACoalMine canary]] under his mining helmet.

* DropTheHammer: Frank attacks his opponents with a [[ImprovisedWeapon hammer that consists of a tombstone attached to a steel pipe]].

* {{Overheating}}: Most brawlers have a limited ammo pool that recharges, so you have a limited number of shots to fire before automatically reloading. This is especially prominent with [[PlayingWithFire Amber]] who has a single ammo bar that continually goes down when holding down [[IncrediblyLamePun fire]] and recharges shortly after she stops attacking, contrary to the 3 ammo bars most others have. Averted with Carl, who "recharges" his attack by having it return to him like a boomerang, allowing him to throw it near a wall and constantly regenerate it.

* DifficultButAwesome: [[LongRangeFighter Piper]]'s low health, '''incredibly''' slow reload, and damage mechanic spells doom if an enemy gets close, and her escape-hatch like Super can lead to other marksmen mowing her down once she lands. Piper needs constant protection from her teamates to succeed, and if they do, it will be worth it. Piper deals significantly more damage than most other Brawlers with her normal attack, and with damage boosts, can outright [[OneHitKill one-shot]] the lower health Brawlers that can match her insane range. With her first Star Power, she can attack from a bush, unseen, with even ''higher'' power. Meanwhile, her Second Star Power rewards good pipers by giving them a slight ammo bump, allowing them to chain shots! A good Piper can remain annoyingly out of reach while she snipes all the backline fighters with ease. Even the developers lampshade how aggravating an experienced Piper can be.

* ArtEvolution: A LOT of character models have vastly improved. For example, Shelly used to look a ''lot'' [[https://pm1.narvii.com/6533/1c850bd9dcba813e06dea7497f3e0da5c4d975a0_hq.jpg worse]] before her [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/brawlstars/images/5/5e/Shelly_Skin-Default.png/revision/latest?cb=20181212051920 current design]] was decided on. Others, like [[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/514747432408935650/ Dynamike]], look ''nothing'' like their past designs. In fact, tons of brawlers have been revamped, either getting new designs or icons. In fact, Brawl Stars has recently started animating faces on brawlers, skins and pins!

* CriticalStatusBuff: The Damage Gear will let a Brawler 15% more damage when below 50% health.

* AccidentalMurder: Poor Shelly [[spoiler: accidentally activates one of Dynamike's explosives when her powers are activated by a gem, apparently killing him in the process]]. You can see the despair on her face when she realizes what she has done.
