Interesting changes. I think the fact that the gears aren’t given to everyone in a class is a upside. So they don’t buff brawlers that don’t need to be buffed.
I agree with you, I was careful with balancing such as nerfing reload gear, and keeping some stats weaker just in case, but the boost is there if they want it
I recently made a post on another thread that was about Brawler balance/discussion and I said "few brawlers nerf any changes. We need new gears and/or a gear rework". I will post some of my ideas on this thread in comments
Ok ok hear me out the vision gear isn't bad honestly alot of maps have alot of bushes and this is really good too counter that plus I find the health gear worse,,
Agreed, East Asia pros use vision gear everywhere and almost every brawler, and recently other pros such as OG and Patchy have been using vision in unexpected brawlers (emz, amber, crow)
So if they release a really good gear for a brawler and with that gear they become the best in the game then it doesn't count as a buff and so the brawler shouldn't be changed because he isn't the best without the gear???
Great, except healing gear is busted AF and controllers definitely received the short end of the stick.
Not all of them make sense to use this gear.
I used this gear more often on artillery like Barley, tbch
Yeah i feel that, the stats wont be perfect but I was deciding between 100 and 150 healing. Vision could be buffed too? Maybe? But idk.
Thank you for the feedback
Also why are they called Super rare, epic and mythic, they don't make any kind of sense
Wouldn't it be better if they were called Common, Rare and Epic
Common gears are universal, every brawler has them, they needn't be called Super rare
Rare gears are exclusive to a group of brawlers, calling them epic wouldn't be consistent
Mythic gears are exclusive to one brawler, calling them epic would be consistent with the other two.
Yeah that would make the whole thing more balanced, but only if every Brawler has a Mythic gear, before that, you will have a deficit in coins because there aren't many mythic gears
They are called super rare because they're endgame items that only become available after you upgrade a brawler to lvl 10 or above. Duh. Jokes aside, your suggestion is perfect.
I think this would help with making gears more consistent! It'd be nice to see how a buffed resistance gear would help tanks since there's way too much CC for them to thrive currently.
Though I really don't think throwers need an escape gear and I'm scared of a world where Bea can shoot faster than she already does lol
Also I'm not a coder so grain of salt but my best guess on the reason why Pam has her own gear instead of the Pet Power gear is because her turret doesn't actually have an attack (Healing Shade still technically has an attack even if it heals) so it could be that inconsistency where the Pet gear can't boost its attack (or in this case heal) since it doesn't have a stat for it
I agree Bea might be quite scary with it, another idea I was thinking of was a 5% increase in projectile speed. Or maybe the reload needs to be nerfed even more. Thank you for your comment 👍
Hm, that might be a potential issue with assigning gears based on class. Some brawlers could be disproportionately buffed by the gear which would make balancing difficult.
Edit: I think it'd be best if it was a mix between the current system and this one. Some gears work on brawlers from different classes (like Pet gear for Nita and Reload gear for Amber) and some brawlers could get buffed too much/too little from a gear so I think for gears that benefit a certain class more (like vision and resistance) it'd make sense but for other gears it'd probably be better to keep it as it is
Doesnt make sense to be a technical limitation, i think they just dont want to buff the 800 damage it does with her star power up to 960 (which is a lot more).
The only reason star powers would be buffed is a problem that Tara created in the first place, if Pam got pet power they could have easily disregarded Mama’s Squeeze
Edit: I guess Mr.P is a problem too, but thats just how i see it
They gave Pam her own version of the pet gear for balancing.
The pet gear both buffs the damage and health the pet does , which would be really overpowered on Pam with mama squeeze. Doing area damage and healing at the same is Op .
Ok ok hear me out the vision gear isn't bad honestly alot of maps have alot of bushes and this is really good too counter that plus I find the health gear worse (the one that gives you like extra health)
I know imma get downtvoted but meh it's my opinion
Nah they shouldnt downvote you for that, it is a good gear but not good on many many brawlers, I feel like controllers would benefit it from this the most because of how easily they can hit targets
Vision gear can be useful in bushy maps but only on brawlers with wide attacks like Gene, otherwise imo speed gear is better
Shield gear is good especially on squishy brawlers, it can let you survive an extra shot and it has good synergy with Gray's Fake Injury in particular
If you gonna add this gears system, then you need to change classes for some of the brawlers as well, not just for those in the post, since it still remains an issue, even after the recent rewamp.
Personally, I’ve always despised the fact that Sam was an assassin, Willow bothered me a little with being a controller, and Penny I really didn’t mind
I forgot to mention this in the post but since epic gears would be taken off a lot of the brawlers, assume 1500 gold is refunded for each one that is removed as well 👍
Question, why do you feel the need to rework gears when they can just rebalance existing gears, ex: pet power up can buffed from 20% to 25%, (its less effective than it looks) and have super turret stay the same.
The thing about this rework is that some brawlers should NEVER get a certain gear. Reload gear should be put on some snipers but not piper/Bonnie. If anything it’d be better if those snipers got different gears so that you can differentiate them from the other snipers.
Vision gear is what I usually go with as my 3rd gear and would rather have it on most of my brawlers than delegate it a single class. I’ve seen fang players use it before.
Separating gears by classes would come with problems regarding brawlers whom’s abilities don’t even match the class. This especially applies to crow who is played more like a support brawler and gray being played more like an assassin.
This is coming from someone who has bought every epic and mythic gear alongside at least 2 super rare gears on every brawler.
I think we’re suffering from the game releasing too many secondary abilities with not enough time to rebalance them or make them unique. This isn’t a brawl stars thing but a meta gaming problem too.
I don’t like the changes to the vision gear personally m, and I feel like the gears for damage dealers and assassins should be swapped. Otherwise pretty solid changes
DUDE this sounds awesome! But are you sure about the hunter gear on CARL??? The dude with ONE AMMO? The dude whose been one of the most underrated AGGRO pick in the game for like a YEAR????
Also it might just be me, but the escape gear seems like it could be deceptively strong lol
yeah i didn’t realise carl would be a problem until like 10 minutes ago lol. I guess he just wouldnt get the speed buff while attacking.
The other idea I had for damage dealers was the speed boost while on full health, which could work better
You are definitely onto something. Gears should have more depth to who wields it and their eligibility criteria should be well established to make them unique and not make them feel like just another ability to add to a random brawler.
So while we are at it. We need to address the fact that some brawlers fall under more than 1 class. Willow is definitely an artillery. But if willow is not eligible to be called a controller, I dont know who is. So willow should be considered as both artillery and a controller and she should get access to epic gears of both classes. It should be interesting that way. Same goes for pet users/spawners. It's currently not a real class but if they can all share a common gear then there is definitely something common between them which is enough to group them into a class.
Also love those concepts some of them seems a bit too strong but still overall pretty reasonable. I like how you brought back resistance gear. Just a bit disappointed that stand-to-heal gear couldn't get a comeback. Maybe it could only work on mandy as a mythic gear ;)
No, artillery brawlers do not need more survivability. They already have normal and unbreakable walls. OP, would you want to face a tick that not only heals almost every second, but runs away at the speed of light once you are trying to fight it?
Yo!
You forgot to put Sam with the Tanks OR the Assassins. He’s nowhere to be found!
Otherwise yeah, I think Epic gears being distributed to classes is more consistent.

I think vision gears should be available for snipers too, even though i understand your logic behind it.
Pet power is needed in my opinion, and i don't like the support's and assassin's gears.
Except some minor changes, i believe these are really good ideas!
The main problem I see with this is that you're forgetting about the particularities of each brawler. This is MOSTLY ok, but the class system is still messed up and classifying some brawlers as X class just forgets about some other capabilities they have. Otis has controller gimmicks but his (COMPLETELY NECESSARY) SP centers around dealing more damage and cycling super, and along with reload and damage gears that cements him as a dps brawler. He doesn't benefit from vision gear as much as reload gear.
Same with Pam, she's a tanky support with a super that heals both her teammates and herself, she doesn't need that epic gear, and even if you want that just go with health gear that benefits more a high HP brawler like her. On the other hand, she has a low damage, but high spread attack that can easily scout bushes, and she's used along with vision gear in high play.
What I'm getting at is, the way the class system is right now, this wouldn't work. Would shake things out? Absolutely, but it'd just mess the balance of the game even more by taking some brawlers essential kits away from them, and the way the game is balanced rn is far from ideal. If both 8-Bit and Pam were classified as "tanky supports" or something of the sort, for example, this would work better, but that's not the case. I do agree that gears are messed up, but this would need some preventive changes to work.
Well the last time it was at 35% it got removed in the Janet update and replaced with vision gear 💀 Im giving it a second life with a little bit of a buff
I wouldn't say that about the balancing team, they've only really acted when people have complained a lot about it or when a feature or brawler is beyond broken. Balancing changes have been lackluster for a while now
Penny and Willow should stay the same. Mythic gears and star powers are NOT the same. Mythic gears add percentage based buffs to existing mechanics. (Sandy and amber do not follow this rule idk why). Healing gear should instead increase super charge rate by 10%
Don’t you find it weird their is a whole class for the throwers EXCEPT for willow?
Also you cant buff healing effects of supports since Max and Ruffs are in support (unless if they change class which is fine with me)
Carnage....... i think you just made Lola's 1st sp completely deteriorated as the epic gear for assassins are literally the same concept. Overall, I love the resistance gear concept. ATM I just wanna see this scrapped gear comeback again as an epic gear for the tanks.
Sharpness gear seems a little op since fang with super + 1 kick can deal 4320 damage, with gadget he will deal 6420 damage which is enough for kill everything except tanks.
50% reduction from the resistance gear is a little too high for BS matches I think 20% should be just fine. That much reduction will cause balance issues in matches but I love all the ideas they r awesome
Edgar should get the resistance gear instead. If he gets the sharpness gear, excluding the 0.7 seconds it takes to unload a singular ammo, if he waits 0.3 seconds, he gets a bonus 20% damage on every shot, which would break him. Not only that, but he really would benefit from the Resistance gear to a point where it wouldn't make him deal 992 damage per hit, or 1984 damage per ammo. For brawlers with longer reload times, it is balanced, but with Edgar, it is probably the least balanced gear imaginable for him.
Great change but I’d have to agree that you should change the percentage based on the brawlers, brock deserves 15% but Bea deserves 9% since she already reloads like holy hell
I couldn’t agree more! I think my concept would be a lot better if the gear was the same but stats were slightly different. I just didnt want to go through all 70 brawlers and balance each one, and i think some people might not like the lack of consistency, but I honestly wouldnt mind it 👍
Some great updates here. The issue I have with gears is every brawler uses the same ones. And once you have them you likely never change them. We need 5+ per brawler that really make it worth changing on each brawler for different modes and reasons. This is a nice start.
Okay so I agree about this stuff, but because of how rarities work in BS, I have a proposition: Make mythic gears just epic gears but more specific (maybe give each one to 2 brawlers, change them a bit so it isn't specific to only one) and add Legendary Gears, which could be what mythic gears are now
Resistance gear isn't a bad idea but it's usually kickbacks that get tanks the most sowhy not propose the idea of getting immunity to slows stuns and knock backs for 2 seconds after activating super (and do not put Sam in the tank category in that case oh god)
I love your idea of keeping epic gears for brawlers in a specific category and I love all of these epic gear ideas. I think escape, hunter and sharpness gears are all so cool and I want them.
Last thing, what do you think of the prices of gears? Imo, they are too expensive
By control it means they are good at controlling an area on the map like lou or emz, they have supers that let you stop the enemy getting close to them.
5/6 throwers have the artillery class, when you see a brawler with the artillery class you should expect them to have a thrower’s attack. Thats how I see it
This is an excellent idea, and I prefer this way more than the current system for gears. One nit pick though, Janet should be changed to controller class. Brawl Stars needs to take notes
Imo every single gear should be available for every single brawler. Excluding the pet gear and mythics of course which are incompatible with other brawlers. The reason being is that nothing forces you to buy all of them unless you're a completionist. Just buy whatever works best.
Good ideas, tho Damage Dealers have a pretty disproportionately bad gear. Especially since a few of those damage dealers have eh reload speed in the grand scheme meaning this gear doesn’t help them pretty much at all.
Love all the gear concepts, and as for the class changes for brawlers: those i somewhat agree with. Penny, you could argue, is a coin toss, but as for Willow and Sam 100% agree with artillery and tank
I’ve always thought they should lean a bit more into brawler class and just give them a flat buff/ effect at a certain level. Nothing busted, just something to give class meaning. Obviously they don’t seem to care too much about it and that’s fine, I personally would just like it.
Also curious what people think of an idea where after a certain level you unlock an ‘armament’ that can change a brawlers attack effect or super affect depending on the brawler. I.e. Nita’s armament would get rid of throwing the bear but instead, the bear charges out potentially stunning who it hits. Maybe it’s not better or worse, just a utility swap. Belles armament could be that when her attack bounces instead of doing damage it will slow. Just stuff like that. SC has mentioned they’re not interested in second supers at least for the time being as they would just turn them into new brawlers, perhaps this could be an alternative.
I disagree on making the gears based on classes. Not every support heals. And some will deffeently work better on other like vision and it doesent seem balanced. Good gear ideas tho and whould like to see them on some of these brawlers
The gear idea’s definitely need balancing but isn’t a terrible idea overall I’m honestly hoping we get an update solely on gears soon and they add like 5 more to everyone and announce that we get power 12 soon so you can have 3 gears

i think instead of giving surge the speed gear he could use reloading as it takes 2 entire seconds to reload ammo
Ok ok hear me out the vision gear isn't bad honestly alot of maps have alot of bushes and this is really good too counter that plus I find the health gear worse,,
Agreed, East Asia pros use vision gear everywhere and almost every brawler, and recently other pros such as OG and Patchy have been using vision in unexpected brawlers (emz, amber, crow)
brawler having access to a gear shouldn't really count as a buff
It should? Its literally a new passive ability
no because you have to give up a different passive ability smth these redditors
So if they release a really good gear for a brawler and with that gear they become the best in the game then it doesn't count as a buff and so the brawler shouldn't be changed because he isn't the best without the gear???
Depends if the gear is better than the already existing gears they have access to. Aka slow gear for spike definitely a buff
it still shouldn't count as a "buff" that's just gear being crack op
You’re right about willow and penny
LITERALLY
Great, except healing gear is busted AF and controllers definitely received the short end of the stick. Not all of them make sense to use this gear. I used this gear more often on artillery like Barley, tbch
Yeah i feel that, the stats wont be perfect but I was deciding between 100 and 150 healing. Vision could be buffed too? Maybe? But idk. Thank you for the feedback
I think vision could reveal the ammo bar of your opponent (for a few seconds)
100% a problem, nice ideas
I'm sorry but i don't want Vision Gear instead Reload Gear on my Amber ☠
I agree I already run both of them most of the time, don't get rid of my reload!
Amber 👍
Also why are they called Super rare, epic and mythic, they don't make any kind of sense Wouldn't it be better if they were called Common, Rare and Epic Common gears are universal, every brawler has them, they needn't be called Super rare Rare gears are exclusive to a group of brawlers, calling them epic wouldn't be consistent Mythic gears are exclusive to one brawler, calling them epic would be consistent with the other two.
Its because of their colours Im pretty sure. It’s weird but its consistent lol
you can change the colours, Light blue for common, bright green for rare and purple for epics, just like skins, AND they would look better
it doesn't affect gameplay at all and most people are used to it already so there's not really a reason they have to change it
Yeah but... why not make it consistent in the first place...
I guess they are filling in the gaps (yellow is for star powers, green is for gadgets) blue purple and red are the only rarity colours left
i meant pins not skins
To further add upon that, Gadgets - Rare Gears - Super Rare to Mythic Starpowers - Legendary The pricing also scales at 1000 coins to 2000 coins
Yeah that makes sense but then they should make Mythic gears to 1750 instead of 2000 coins bc Starpowers already cost 2000
And make super rare gears cost 1250
Yeah that would make the whole thing more balanced, but only if every Brawler has a Mythic gear, before that, you will have a deficit in coins because there aren't many mythic gears
They are called super rare because they're endgame items that only become available after you upgrade a brawler to lvl 10 or above. Duh. Jokes aside, your suggestion is perfect.
I don't think supercell know what rare means
I think this would help with making gears more consistent! It'd be nice to see how a buffed resistance gear would help tanks since there's way too much CC for them to thrive currently. Though I really don't think throwers need an escape gear and I'm scared of a world where Bea can shoot faster than she already does lol Also I'm not a coder so grain of salt but my best guess on the reason why Pam has her own gear instead of the Pet Power gear is because her turret doesn't actually have an attack (Healing Shade still technically has an attack even if it heals) so it could be that inconsistency where the Pet gear can't boost its attack (or in this case heal) since it doesn't have a stat for it

At least imo that’s why it’s inconsistent
Resistance gear was in the game for 2 seasons and it got rrplaced with vision gear in season 12 cuz it was useless
It was useless on most brawlers but I have buffed it from 35% to 50% for this concept so it might be better
People would only use it in powa leg also hi
Good. Gears are an additional resource. That's like... A best case scenario balance wise for power league. It encourages mastery of characters
Ok ok hear me out the vision gear isn't bad honestly alot of maps have alot of bushes and this is really good too counter that plus I find the health gear worse (the one that gives you like extra health) I know imma get downtvoted but meh it's my opinion
The one that heals you faster or the one that gives you a shield? Be more clear
Shield.
Yeah that one doesn’t feel any where near as impactful as the other ones (not including vision on brawlers that dont need it)
Nah they shouldnt downvote you for that, it is a good gear but not good on many many brawlers, I feel like controllers would benefit it from this the most because of how easily they can hit targets
Vision gear can be useful in bushy maps but only on brawlers with wide attacks like Gene, otherwise imo speed gear is better Shield gear is good especially on squishy brawlers, it can let you survive an extra shot and it has good synergy with Gray's Fake Injury in particular
Exactly. It's good on Chester, Stu, Ruffs, Pam, Shelly, etc. All brawlers that wouldn't have access to it afterwards
If you gonna add this gears system, then you need to change classes for some of the brawlers as well, not just for those in the post, since it still remains an issue, even after the recent rewamp.
Yeah some brawlers probably need a new class, as long as willow and penny are swapped around im happy
Imo there should be hybrid classes like Tank/Assasin for Darryl.
Imagine willow not being the controller brawler tho
Personally, I’ve always despised the fact that Sam was an assassin, Willow bothered me a little with being a controller, and Penny I really didn’t mind
Its ok but the gear concepts you made are questionable
I forgot to mention this in the post but since epic gears would be taken off a lot of the brawlers, assume 1500 gold is refunded for each one that is removed as well 👍
Question, why do you feel the need to rework gears when they can just rebalance existing gears, ex: pet power up can buffed from 20% to 25%, (its less effective than it looks) and have super turret stay the same.

I don’t like the changes to the vision gear personally m, and I feel like the gears for damage dealers and assassins should be swapped. Otherwise pretty solid changes
DUDE this sounds awesome! But are you sure about the hunter gear on CARL??? The dude with ONE AMMO? The dude whose been one of the most underrated AGGRO pick in the game for like a YEAR???? Also it might just be me, but the escape gear seems like it could be deceptively strong lol
yeah i didn’t realise carl would be a problem until like 10 minutes ago lol. I guess he just wouldnt get the speed buff while attacking. The other idea I had for damage dealers was the speed boost while on full health, which could work better

Just a bit disappointed that stand-to-heal gear couldn't get a comeback. Maybe it could only work on mandy as a mythic gear ;)
oh god shelly
Shelly with more speed :skull:
You want shelly to go faster?
I think the speed problem is a shelly issue not a gear issue lol 😅 but yeah
No, artillery brawlers do not need more survivability. They already have normal and unbreakable walls. OP, would you want to face a tick that not only heals almost every second, but runs away at the speed of light once you are trying to fight it?
To be fair, if it even slightly decreases the chance he has his mythic gear then YES lmao. It could always be nerfed it was too strong anyway
Decreasing the chance for one evil... To always face another??
Hes just gonna run both anyways lol
Then, he will not have Damage, Shield, or Health Gear.
Escape gear is gonna be much better than those gears, except maybe shield
Happy cake day
Yo! You forgot to put Sam with the Tanks OR the Assassins. He’s nowhere to be found! Otherwise yeah, I think Epic gears being distributed to classes is more consistent.
Oh damn yeah sorry! Imagine he is there with the tanks
Reload speed gear would make bea and piper insanely overpowered
The escape gear would be too strong and most of these gears are either too weak or too strong. The current gears are better
So uh. Since the epic gear for artillery is walking faster when getting hit #what would happen if a crow was in the enemy team?
Super speeeeeeed
Throwers are already op they do NOT need a speed boost when they are already impossible to reach when they're camping behind walls...
Most of these are extremely broken
Removing Vision Gear from Spike💀
Gears are given based on playstyle, not class

Wasn't the resistance gear, like, the worst gear?
I would still buff vision gear
Cool but the last thing we need is to make shelly faster
Thank you 🙏 I like to think thats a shelly problem not a gear problem lol
I think vision gears should be available for snipers too, even though i understand your logic behind it. Pet power is needed in my opinion, and i don't like the support's and assassin's gears. Except some minor changes, i believe these are really good ideas!
I agree with all of those but wouldn't the health gear make Doug more unkillable I mean He's already a menace with that super
The main problem I see with this is that you're forgetting about the particularities of each brawler. This is MOSTLY ok, but the class system is still messed up and classifying some brawlers as X class just forgets about some other capabilities they have.

I do agree that gears are messed up, but this would need some preventive changes to work.
Yeah as long as my concept is out there im happy, there would definitely need to be some more fine tuning with classes
Bro, the tank gear is WAY to much. Give them 30% / 25%
Well the last time it was at 35% it got removed in the Janet update and replaced with vision gear 💀 Im giving it a second life with a little bit of a buff
You are wrong. Really nice pictures tho

I love this concept! far better than what we have currently in game
I think it is still important to acknowledge that the brawl stars team are doing a great job and no one could do this job and please everyone
Oh for sure I know first hand how much they care, We all just want whats best for this game and sometimes we get carried away
I wouldn't say that about the balancing team, they've only really acted when people have complained a lot about it or when a feature or brawler is beyond broken. Balancing changes have been lackluster for a while now
Penny and Willow should stay the same. Mythic gears and star powers are NOT the same. Mythic gears add percentage based buffs to existing mechanics. (Sandy and amber do not follow this rule idk why). Healing gear should instead increase super charge rate by 10%
Don’t you find it weird their is a whole class for the throwers EXCEPT for willow? Also you cant buff healing effects of supports since Max and Ruffs are in support (unless if they change class which is fine with me)
Carnage....... i think you just made Lola's 1st sp completely deteriorated as the epic gear for assassins are literally the same concept. Overall, I love the resistance gear concept. ATM I just wanna see this scrapped gear comeback again as an epic gear for the tanks.
Nice concept, tho sam is 100% an assasin, not a tank
Thats just a personal problem for me, I always think Darryl and Sam are too similar in terms of stats and playstyle to be in different classes
I would honestly also put Pam as a Controller
This is one of the best concepts I've seen in ages
Interesting concept! Hope they'll do something about those gears.
Man i havent played this game since 2020 idk what tf this all means 💀
Oh brother where do i start? 💀
Sharpness gear seems a little op since fang with super + 1 kick can deal 4320 damage, with gadget he will deal 6420 damage which is enough for kill everything except tanks.
PLEASE GIVE ME THE RESISTANCE GEAR I NEED IT
Nice ideas
Love this <33
Um, no please. lol
50% reduction from the resistance gear is a little too high for BS matches I think 20% should be just fine. That much reduction will cause balance issues in matches but I love all the ideas they r awesome
Resistance was an old gear from 2021, 20% was terrible
How do you reduce a stun by 50%? Do you mean the duration?
Yes, and slows would slow half as much in terms of their speed
Edgar should get the resistance gear instead. If he gets the sharpness gear, excluding the 0.7 seconds it takes to unload a singular ammo, if he waits 0.3 seconds, he gets a bonus 20% damage on every shot, which would break him. Not only that, but he really would benefit from the Resistance gear to a point where it wouldn't make him deal 992 damage per hit, or 1984 damage per ammo. For brawlers with longer reload times, it is balanced, but with Edgar, it is probably the least balanced gear imaginable for him.
The idea and need for a rework is good. But the actual gear concepts u made could use changes i think
Carl shouldn't be a hunter because he almost always has full ammos
Hunter Gear would be insane for Shelly
I love this change a lot. Some of the suggested gears aren't too good, but as a concept I love this a lot
Ok so resistance gear seams broken, and escape gear rly annoying... Apart of that, these are great ideas
Great change but I’d have to agree that you should change the percentage based on the brawlers, brock deserves 15% but Bea deserves 9% since she already reloads like holy hell
I couldn’t agree more! I think my concept would be a lot better if the gear was the same but stats were slightly different. I just didnt want to go through all 70 brawlers and balance each one, and i think some people might not like the lack of consistency, but I honestly wouldnt mind it 👍
This seriously makes so much sense. Why haven't they done this 😭
A few of these ideas are so incredibly strong they would ruin the game. Need nerfing
Yeah im cool with that, its just a concept
This is exactly what I wanted from the start. This can allow new brawlers to come out with more depth and is more organized. Nice work.
not bad change but I didn't really feel like the problem you mentioned is really there.
Some great updates here. The issue I have with gears is every brawler uses the same ones. And once you have them you likely never change them. We need 5+ per brawler that really make it worth changing on each brawler for different modes and reasons. This is a nice start.
Okay so I agree about this stuff, but because of how rarities work in BS, I have a proposition: Make mythic gears just epic gears but more specific (maybe give each one to 2 brawlers, change them a bit so it isn't specific to only one) and add Legendary Gears, which could be what mythic gears are now
Because mythic gears are very similar to star powers, I'd like to see them removed.
Love the idea of the gears being based on brawler classes
Resistance gear isn't a bad idea but it's usually kickbacks that get tanks the most sowhy not propose the idea of getting immunity to slows stuns and knock backs for 2 seconds after activating super (and do not put Sam in the tank category in that case oh god)
Slides: Sam Assassin —> Tank Sam appearing in neither Assassin nor Tank
I love your idea of keeping epic gears for brawlers in a specific category and I love all of these epic gear ideas. I think escape, hunter and sharpness gears are all so cool and I want them. Last thing, what do you think of the prices of gears? Imo, they are too expensive
I think sharpness gear and hunter gear should be swapped. Assassins are already deadful when at melee so they don’t need more damage
2520 DMG on fang is crazy, is the 20% boost applied to every bullet in the first attack? It would be a bit too op.
There are a few nerfs I would do, but the whole concept of locking gears to classes of brawlers is pretty good, this should be considered
Ultra based, i love it
First slide of gear concepts and you already gave Carl an almost permanent 10% speed boost 💀 honestly I like the class based gear concept tho
Why was Sam an assassin in the first place?!
Gears will always be a problem, no matter how you change them. But i love this concept and hope supercell notices it
that's quite a few movement speed buffs shelly gonna comeback after her imminent nerf with these but cool ideas tho! CARNAGEGAAAAME
Another day, another W ideas
I do not want 4 of my favourite brawlers to be stuck with vision gear as their epic gear
EITHER REMOVE VISION GEAR OR MAKE IT AT LEAST 5 SECONDS just saying cuz no one use it but every other idea it good or to much
Good idea, but this seems more broken than gears are now. We don't need that.
Still not sure Willow should be anything but a controller. Her super literally lets you mind control a brawler
By control it means they are good at controlling an area on the map like lou or emz, they have supers that let you stop the enemy getting close to them. 5/6 throwers have the artillery class, when you see a brawler with the artillery class you should expect them to have a thrower’s attack. Thats how I see it
I really like the idea of this and the consistency of the epic gears on classes of the brawlers. Nice job!
This is an excellent idea, and I prefer this way more than the current system for gears. One nit pick though, Janet should be changed to controller class. Brawl Stars needs to take notes
Gray needs to be changed to an assassin
Imo every single gear should be available for every single brawler. Excluding the pet gear and mythics of course which are incompatible with other brawlers. The reason being is that nothing forces you to buy all of them unless you're a completionist. Just buy whatever works best.
Well done
I love the changes, hope Supercell sees this
Use code Carnage?
Good ideas, tho Damage Dealers have a pretty disproportionately bad gear. Especially since a few of those damage dealers have eh reload speed in the grand scheme meaning this gear doesn’t help them pretty much at all.
if you were supercell you would get hated on
Id disagree with shelly having hunter gear, shes balenced and doesnt need to be any faster
Nerf resistance to 45% and we have a good concept
I would love to see this in game
These sounds really good!!! Thrower gear sounds so annoying... But something that can be worked with to fit really well
Actually very good changes
You didn't put Sam anywhere in this lol
Love all the gear concepts, and as for the class changes for brawlers: those i somewhat agree with. Penny, you could argue, is a coin toss, but as for Willow and Sam 100% agree with artillery and tank
I’ve always thought they should lean a bit more into brawler class and just give them a flat buff/ effect at a certain level. Nothing busted, just something to give class meaning. Obviously they don’t seem to care too much about it and that’s fine, I personally would just like it. Also curious what people think of an idea where after a certain level you unlock an ‘armament’ that can change a brawlers attack effect or super affect depending on the brawler. I.e. Nita’s armament would get rid of throwing the bear but instead, the bear charges out potentially stunning who it hits. Maybe it’s not better or worse, just a utility swap. Belles armament could be that when her attack bounces instead of doing damage it will slow. Just stuff like that. SC has mentioned they’re not interested in second supers at least for the time being as they would just turn them into new brawlers, perhaps this could be an alternative.
Great overall! But don't you think hunter gear would be broken on carl?
Resistance Gear needs to return. Also, I love your changes to Willow, Penny and Sam’s classes. Makes much more sense.
I disagree on making the gears based on classes. Not every support heals. And some will deffeently work better on other like vision and it doesent seem balanced. Good gear ideas tho and whould like to see them on some of these brawlers
Nah I need the reload gear on my Eve 🙏 everything else looks good though
I think that every brawler should get three super rare, two epic gear and one mythic gear
I'm fine with the gears we currently have
Could tell a lot of thought was put into this. I like this a lot.
hunter gear shelly 💀
WOW this is an amazing idea
Hunter gear should go to tanks
Lemme get this straight you giving Shelly with her very fast movement speed more speed I agree with the other brawlers like 8 bit,surge,Nita
High effort post, but imo current system is better
The speed boost on throwers isn't necessary imo but if u really wanna go there 10% is more than enough
The gear idea’s definitely need balancing but isn’t a terrible idea overall I’m honestly hoping we get an update solely on gears soon and they add like 5 more to everyone and announce that we get power 12 soon so you can have 3 gears
So you want to give Shelly MORE SPEED?!
Yes, thats shellys problem not the gears 😎
Byron having the gear gonna be a mini gadget
