Null's Brawl – Private server for iOS & Android (v.65.165) Private server for iOS & Android
We have already reviewed the February Brawl Stars update and started working on the new version of the private server. The team is currently studying the changes and transferring key Brawler mechanics, Buffies and other elements to the server side so that the new content works correctly in battles.
A screenshot of the new version can be seen in the developer’s Telegram channel, where you can also follow the development process and server updates.
New Brawlers
First of all, we are adapting the game for two new Brawlers.
Sirius — an Ultra Legendary control Brawler. His main mechanic is related to Brawler shadows. During a battle he accumulates shadows and can then release them with his Super. These shadows copy the characteristics of the original Brawlers — their health and attack type.
From the server side this is one of the most complex mechanics of the update. We need to implement the creation of these shadows as separate game objects, their behavior on the map, synchronization with Sirius’ actions and the command system — following the Brawler or patrolling a selected area. It is also important to correctly process interactions with Gadgets, Star Powers and Hypercharge, since they directly affect the characteristics and behavior of the shadows.
The second new character is Najia, a Mythic Brawler with a poison damage mechanic. Her attack consists of two parts: the pot deals main damage, and the released snake applies a poison effect. The poison can stack and become stronger with each attack.
On the server this requires implementing a status stacking system, correct damage timers and proper effect processing. Her Super releases several snakes that move across the map and poison enemies in the area, so the movement of these objects and their interaction with players during the match must also be implemented separately.
Prime System
The game also introduces a new Prime system. After reaching 1000 trophies on a Brawler, an additional progression level opens that no longer resets between seasons. The player continues to earn Prime trophies and unlock new rewards.
For the private server this means reworking the Brawler progression system and displaying statistics in the profile. Graphically this system will definitely appear on our server, but how exactly it will function is still under discussion. We may implement something similar to trophy resets, but less frequently than in the original game.
Matchmaking
Another change concerns matchmaking. In the original game, a hidden MMR rating is now used instead of only trophy count. This affects the entire matchmaking logic.
On our server matchmaking already differs from the original version, so we are currently deciding whether to fully implement this system or keep our own.
Write in the comments what you think — should we implement the MMR system?
New Buffies
Another important part of the update is new Buffies for several Brawlers. They change how Gadgets, Star Powers and Hypercharges work for:
- Crow
- Bibi
- Bull
- Nita
- Leon
- Bo
For the server this means modifying the abilities themselves: adding new effects, reworking attack interactions and updating parameters that directly affect battle mechanics.
Season 48 and 49 Content
Along with the update we also plan to add all the new content from Brawl Pass Season 48: Sands of Time and Brawl Pass Season 49: Dragons and Faeries.
New seasonal skins, visual effects, profile cosmetics and other game assets related to these seasons will be transferred to the server. We are currently preparing and integrating this content so it displays correctly in the game and works with the new client version.
What’s next
Work is already in progress. The team is gradually implementing new mechanics and adapting battle logic for the update changes.
First the key mechanics of the new Brawlers will be implemented, then the progression system and ability changes. After that we will move on to final balance adjustments and server stability testing.
At the moment, the latest server version is 65.165. As soon as a new version is released, you will be able to install it using the link above. Our server is available for installation on both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android devices.
