The mouse is a Damage Dealer and the sushi chef is an Assassin.

The excitement of a new season in Brawl Stars is immeasurable! Not only do we get SpongeBob skins and power-up items, but we also can take new brawlers to the matches. They are Moe, a blind mouse, and Kenji, a sushi chef. All of the details about these Brawl Stars new characters are here.

Brawl Stars Moe: Damage Dealer

Moe lives in Starr Park and takes care of this location in Brawl Stars. Grom has found and adopted the mouse, and now Moe helps with the maintenance of Starr Park. He uses his Driller, a digging machine, but that often causes unnecessary destruction, making Ash nervous. The Driller is obviously better as a weapon in Brawl Stars matches! Moe has the Mythic level of rarity.

How to play Moe in Brawl Stars

Moe is a Damage Dealer. His kit is more about mid-range and even long-range attacks.

  • Shovel Slinger — It’s a Basic Attack for Brawl Stars Moe. The brawler throws a rock, which breaks into small pieces after bouncing and on hit. The pieces are so dangerous for your opponents!
  • Moe's Machine — The Super involves the Driller. Moe digs toward a specified spot and damages and knocks up opponents there. 

After using Moe's Machine, the mouse enters his Super form and gets a new Basic Attack: Giga Drill Break. He drills forward and damages opponents. After pressing Super once again, Brawl Stars Moe returns to his usual form.

Moe’s Star Powers allow the brawler to bounce the rock of his Basic Attack twice, having the same range but creating more pieces (Skipping Stones) or having a higher digging speed with the Driller (Speeding Ticket). Reach level 9 with Moe to unlock a Star Power you like more.

After Moe’s level 7, you can purchase and use his Gadgets. Dodgy Digging increases the charge rate for Super by 50% for 5 seconds. Rat Race adds rushes for the Drill that break walls.

How to unlock Moe in Brawl Stars

In addition to the usual way of unlocking Brawl Stars brawlers via the Starr Road, you can head to the game's store and buy Moe with a bundle of various items: pins, Monterey Moe skin, 40 Gems, and 4,000 Coins.

Brawl Stars Kenji: Assassin

This guy has a sushi restaurant in Starr Park. He serves good food, and his business is quite successful. But something is mysterious around Kenji. Maybe there is a secret in his past? Maybe he hides his real profession even in the present?

This Legendary Assassin is certainly a great choice for taking opponents down.

How to play Kenji in Brawl Stars

Kenji’s sword is a dangerous weapon! Approach opponents close enough to reach them with the blade, and then there will be nowhere for them to hide.

  • Dash 'n' Slash — The Basic Attack of Brawl Stars Kenji mixes Dashes, forward hits, and Slashes. It hits in a wide surrounding area.
  • Slashimi — Kenji sure is a sushi chef, but slices from his Super deal substantial damage to opponents instead of satisfying their hunger. Kenji remains invulnerable for a while.

The Star Powers for this Brawl Star character are Nigiri Nemesis and Studied The Blade. Nigiri Nemesis is protection from damage for 5 seconds with the damage reduction of 90% from the next attack. Studied The Blade increases the range of Super by 30%.

With the Gadget Dashi Dash, Brawl Stars Kenji uses Dashes for his Basic Attack for 3 seconds. The Gadget Hosomaki Healing lets Kenji heal 75% of damage taken during the previous 3 seconds.

How to unlock Brawl Stars Moe and Kenji for free

All of the brawlers in Brawl Stars can be unlocked for Gems. Purchase them in the shop and get any character you want, including Moe and Kenji. At the same time, you can unlock them for free thanks to the Starr Road progression option. Play the game, earn Credits on the Trophy Road, and unlock new brawlers when you have enough of this currency.

The rarity is important here, as Moe and Kenji have high rarity levels: Mythic and Legendary. But when you reach them, you can choose one of two suggested brawlers to unlock for a chosen rarity. May it be Brawl Stars More and Kenji!

When do Moe and Kenji join Brawl Stars?

Moe is available on Starr Road on Sept. 5, with the start of SpongeBob Season in the game. You can get him earlier via the bundle purchase. Kenji is arriving to Brawl Stars on Sept. 26.

Moe and Kenji are new to Brawl Stars. Therefore, they are unlikely to be featured in the battles of the upcoming World Championship. Still, you never know what professional players are capable of! The tournament goes from Nov. 1 to Nov. 2. For more Brawl Stars news and updates, stick around on esports.gg!
