Why is there a Maintenance Break on Brawl Stars | Key Maintenance Changes

Brawl Stars is currently in a maintenance break today, March 4, 2026, to deploy a critical hotfix and balance patch following the massive “Prestige” update from late February.

The primary reason for this break is to fix a major bug where players were getting stuck at 87% on the loading screen, along with several “exploit” fixes.

Key Maintenance Changes (March 4)

  • Bibi Nerf: Her Vitamin Booster gadget was bugged/overpowered. It now heals for 1,000 HP (down from 2,000) and has a 15-second cooldown.

  • Matchmaking Exploit: Fixed an issue in the new “Free Play” mode that allowed players to trick the system into matching them against bots for easy trophy grinding.

  • Bug Fixes: * Fixed a crash issue specifically affecting iOS and iPadOS users.

    • Corrected an interaction where Crow’s Instapoison gadget would prevent Doug from being able to respawn teammates.

  • Prestige Mode: Fixed a bug where prestige trophies could drop below 1,000 after a loss in Duels.

When will it be back?

The maintenance is expected to conclude around 11:00 AM (local server time). However, because this patch addresses the “87% stuck” loading bug, Supercell has warned that servers may remain “unstable” for about an hour after they go live as players rush to log back in.

Tip: If you are still seeing the maintenance screen after others say it’s over, try clearing your app cache or checking the App Store/Play Store for an optional “optional update” that often accompanies these fixes.

🛠️ March 4 Hotfix Notes (Current Maintenance)

  • Loading Screen Fix: Resolved the “87% stuck” bug that was preventing many players from entering the game.

  • Bibi Tuning: Her Vitamin Booster gadget was over-healing due to a “Buffie” interaction. It has been capped at 1,000 HP per second for 4 seconds.

  • Matchmaking Stabilizer: Tweaks to the new Hidden MMR system to prevent high-Prestige players from facing low-tier bots.

  • Sirius Shadow Fix: Fixed a crash occurring when the new Brawler Sirius attempted to control a “Shadow” version of a Hypercharged enemy.


🏆 The “Prestige” System (Major Changes)

This is the new permanent progression system that replaced the old seasonal trophy resets.

  • Prestige 1 (1,000 Trophies): Your first 1,000 trophies are now “anchored”—you can never lose them. You unlock a Neon Skin variant for that Brawler.

  • Prestige Trophies: Any trophies earned above 1,000 are now “Prestige Trophies.”

  • Milestone Rewards:

    • 250 Trophies: Player Icon & Spray.

    • 500 Trophies: 3 Unique Pins.

    • 750 Trophies: A 29-Gem Skin (or Bling equivalent).

    • 1,000 Trophies: Gold Brawler Title.


💪 New “Buffies” & Balance Highlights

“Buffies” are a new permanent upgrade tier for your Brawlers’ abilities:

  • Crow (Reworked): His Instapoison gadget now deals all remaining poison damage instantly and grants a shield. Buffie: It also refreshes the poison duration.

  • Nita: Her Bear With Me Star Power can now overheal Nita or Bruce by up to 2,000 HP.

  • Frank (Nerf): HP reduced (14,000 → 13,600) and his Active Noise Canceling gadget no longer charges his Super/Hypercharge.

  • Bibi: Her Home Run bar now charges instantly upon using a gadget (Buffie).


🆕 New Brawlers (Season 48: Sands of Time)

  • Sirius (Legendary Controller): Can take control of Brawler “Shadows.”

  • Najia (Mythic Damage Dealer): Uses snakes to deal poison damage that can travel behind walls.
