I still remember the excitement when Brawl Stars dropped the Crush the Kaiju season back in June 2025. It felt like the game had truly embraced its inner monster. Now, in 2026, looking back, that season remains one of my favorites. The mix of Japanese kaiju culture, a brand-new MOBA mode, and a ton of awesome skins made it unforgettable. And guess what? I was there for every moment.
The season kicked off on June 5, 2025, right after the Battle for Katana Kingdom ended. If you had maxed out that previous pass and unlocked Kasa-obake Piper, you knew the drill. But Crush the Kaiju offered something fresh. The Brawl Pass was packed with Gems, Coins, Power Points, Credits, Pins, Sprays, Stickers, and Starr Drops. I grinded those tiers like a maniac.
The star of the show? Shin Edgar. To unlock this Kaiju-themed skin for Edgar, you needed to reach tier 50 of the Premium Brawl Pass. And let me tell you, it was worth every match. But if you went for the Premium Plus pass, you got two Chroma variants: Drift Edgar and Masked Edgar. I couldn't resist. I bought the Premium Plus, and those extra skins made me feel like a true monster overlord.
But Edgar wasn't the only one getting a kaiju makeover. The shop refreshed with seasonal skins for several brawlers. I remember scrolling through and being tempted by every single one. Here's a quick rundown:
| Brawler | Skin Name |
|---|---|
| Mico | Monstro Mico |
| Griff | Intergalactic Griff |
| Colette | Tokusatsu Colette |
| Clancy | Kaiju Clancy |
And then there was Finx. The Anubis-inspired character got special treatment. Mecha Finx was the base skin, and you could get two Chromas: Crimson Tyfinx and Mecha Chief Finx. I loved the mecha vibe. It felt like a perfect blend of ancient Egypt and giant robots.
Of course, the real game-changer was Brawl Arena, the new MOBA mode. I had played Mobile Legends, Dota 2, and League of Legends, but this was different. Matches lasted only five minutes, not 45. The map was bigger than usual, with lanes and a jungle full of neutral monsters. Each team had defensive towers to protect their base. Destroying enemy towers was crucial. Battles gave resources to power up your brawlers. And if you defeated a huge Kaiju, your team got a mighty boost. Then you pushed to win. It was chaotic, fast, and incredibly fun.
I watched some showmatches during the Brawl Cup 2025 event, and they highlighted Brawl Arena perfectly. The mode was announced during the Battle for Katana Kingdom Brawl Talk, and it lived up to the hype.
The shop refreshed regularly with Crush the Kaiju offers. I learned not to postpone purchases because those seasonal skins disappeared quickly. If you saw something you liked, you grabbed it.
Now, in 2026, I still look back at that season with a smile. It was a perfect storm of great skins, a new game mode, and pure monster mayhem. If you missed it, well, you missed a piece of Brawl Stars history. But hey, at least you can read about my adventure. 🦖👾🎮
