History
What do buff/nerf/neutral mean?
-
Buff: clearly raises a stat or the brawler's effectiveness.
-
Nerf: clearly lowers a stat or the brawler's effectiveness.
-
Neutral: changes behaviour without it being clear whether it's better or worse. New skins and additions like new abilities are also neutral.
-
Global: a change that applies to all brawlers, not just one — e.g. a general game adjustment.
-
Temporary event: a change to a temporary event mechanic. It doesn't affect normal play and goes away when the event ends.
Where it comes from: the History section of the Brawl Stars Wiki (in English, on Fandom). We translate it automatically and, when a change is a number, we check it against the game's data.

BRAWLER STATS
11
Sam unleashes a double dose of hard-hitting punches. With his gloves on, he deals a lot more damage.
Sam throws his Knuckle Busters, dealing damage to all enemies hit, before landing on the ground. His next Super will return them back to his hands and also deals damage.

ABILITIES
Gadget
While the Knuckle Busters are on the ground, Sam can activate them to pull in nearby enemies.
Upon landing on the ground, Sam's next deployed Knuckle Busters releases an electric pulse that knocks back enemies.
Star Power
Upon recalling his Knuckle Busters, Sam instantly recovers 20% of his missing health.
While the Knuckle Busters are on the ground and near enemies, they will charge up Sam's Super.
Hypercharge
Sam's Knuckle Busters travel faster and will fully charge his Super if they hit an enemy Brawler during the Hypercharge.
Multiplier
How much of your Super's charge also fills the Hypercharge. Example: 40% means every Super adds 40% of its charge to the Hypercharge bar — the higher it is, the sooner you get your Hypercharge.
