When Does the Brawl Stars Katana Kingdom Event Start?

The highly anticipated Brawl Stars Katana Kingdom event is set to begin on May 1, 2025, and will run for four weeks until June 5, 2025. This event is divided into four chapters, with a new chapter unlocking each week. Each chapter will introduce brand new game modes, challenges, and rewards.

New Brawlers

Two new brawlers will be introduced after the upcoming Brawl Stars Katana Kingdom event, allowing you to engage in even more epic gameplay. Here are the two brand new characters.

Kaze

The most awaited new brawler is here, and it introduces a new rarity tier above the Legendary brawlers. Kaze is the first-ever Ultra Legendary brawler, boasting unique mechanics that set it apart from others.

This special assassin brawler has two distinct personalities, allowing you to play with two different aspects of the same character. You can switch between two forms, each with its own weapon attacks, supers, gadgets, star powers, and even hypercharges. Here are Kaze's two forms:

 

• Geisha Form: In this form, Kaze wields bladed fans to attack. She can throw these fans to create "Strike Spots," dealing damage while slowing down enemies. Additionally, she can unleash a Fan Storm, causing area damage to all enemies within the storm's radius. Her hypercharge also deals damage over time to enemies caught in the Fan Storm.
• Ninja Form: In this form, Kaze throws shurikens to damage closer targets and can dash through enemies to inflict additional damage. One of her star powers allows her to deal area damage to other enemies when a marked enemy is defeated. With her hypercharge, Kaze increases her dash speed and can instantly defeat enemies with low health.

When using the gadget, Gracious Host you can switch between these two forms and Kaze gains increased movement speed when transitioning to Ninja Form, and switching to Geisha Form heals her, making her adaptable for various situations.

Jae- Yong

Jae-Yong is an office worker who is also a karaoke singer, and he joins the roster in the later stages of the event period. He has two modes that he can switch between using his super ability. Here are the two modes of Jae-Yong:

 

• Party Mode: Heals teammates with his musical notes.
• Work Mode: Boosts speed and deals piercing attacks.

Jae-Yong has star powers that include speed boosts and extra damage to enemies. His gadgets allow him to deal area damage and slow down enemies around him for a short duration.

Sushi Rolls

Sushi rolls serve as the main currency during the Brawl Stars Katana Kingdom event. You can earn these special currency items in several ways:

• Winning matches in new event game modes.
• Completing daily and weekly quests.
• Purchasing them from the in-game shop.
• Participating in the Mega Buffet Club event.

 

Mega Buffet

This special club event starts from the beginning of the second week for earning Sushi Rolls by playing with your club members. Each day, club members receive four tickets to participate in exclusive matches, and every win contributes to a club sushi buffet. The buffet helps the club reach specific milestones, unlocking sushi rolls for all the club members.

Rewards from Sushi Rolls

These sushi rolls are a fantastic way to earn many special rewards during the event. Each sushi roll acts as a chest, providing you with a variety of rewards. These rewards include Wasabi Powers, Hypercharges, Star Powers, Gadgets, Brawlers, skins, in-game currency, and exclusive rewards from the sushi meter.

Sushi Meter

The Sushi Meter is a unique feature that allows you to earn exclusive rewards while collecting sushi rolls. You'll receive specific rewards when you reach milestones of 50, 100, 150, and 200 collectible sushi. These rewards include in-game coins and new skins. When you collect the full 200 sushi, you will unlock the special exclusive reward: the Hypercharge skin upgrade for Kenji. This is a great chance to collect a free skin to your account.

Wasabi Powers

Wasabi Powers are special buffs that temporarily grant unique abilities to brawlers. You can unlock these powers by using sushi rolls. There are approximately 60 Wasabi Powers for brawlers, divided into four groups based on their power intensity:

 

1. Hot Wasabi Powers
2. Extra Hot Wasabi Powers
3. Crazy Hot Wasabi Powers
4. Inferno Wasabi Powers

Here are some examples of Wasabi Powers for better understanding:

• Shelly has a Hot Wasabi Power that allows her to unleash a circular Super, dealing high damage.
• Angelo possesses a Hot Wasabi Power that enables his main attack to fire in three rows.
• Barley has an Extra Hot Wasabi Power that makes the puddles from his main attacks last longer.
• Ash has a Crazy Hot Wasabi Power that causes his Super to charge faster and launch more rats.

Brand New Skins

There are brand new skins available for brawlers in this new event. You can collect these rewards through the Brawl Pass or purchase them from the in-game shop. Additionally, some skins can be obtained for free by completing milestones in the Sushi Meter. Here are the brand new skins arriving from the event:

New Game Modes

You can enjoy new game modes with your friends and club members in the Brawl Stars Katana Kingdom event. These are the three main game modes that are unlocked during the event.

Brawl Arena

This is a MOBA-style game featuring 3vs3 gameplay, where you'll encounter jungle bots and jungle monsters. The game consists of two sides, each with a base: one for your team (the allies) and one for the opponents. Both sides also have towers that players must contend with. 

 

To achieve victory in this game mode, you must destroy the enemy's base before they destroy yours. The game lasts eight minutes, and the first team to destroy the opposing base wins. Team up with another two members and fight to claim victory in the battle!

Samurai Smash

 

Samurai Smash can be played in 3 vs 3 and 5 vs 5 formats. In this game mode, you will face off against samurai bots and the opposing team brawlers. Your goal is to collect a specific number of points to win the match. Points can be earned by battling enemies and defeating samurai bots. Make sure to be quicker and more aggressive to reach your target before the opposing team does. You can also use wasabi powers to your advantage in these battles. This new game mode starts with the first week of the event period.

Oni Hunt

Oni Hunt game mode starts with the beginning of the third week of the event period. These battles are boss fights where you can team up with two other members to defeat the Hypercharged Demon Kenji Boss. You can select the difficulty level, and as the difficulty increases, the boss becomes more powerful and harder to defeat. However, the rewards are also greater when you choose a higher difficulty level. 

 

To defeat the demon boss more quickly and earn rewards like sushi rolls, it's important to play with high-damage dealers for these battles. You can also use wasabi powers to boost damage and survivability. Tanks like El Primo are especially effective in battles due to their higher damage output and greater survivability with higher HP.

Daily Contests

Daily contest game modes are unlocked in the fourth week of the event period. You can choose from three maps, with ten players per match. All players compete to become the top contenders in each match. To earn rewards, such as sushi rolls, you must finish in at least the top 8. Bottom two players and get nothing after the match.

All these new game modes require players to have better skills and higher control abilities, along with quicker reactions. Playing on a mobile screen can make this more challenging. To enhance your gameplay, consider playing the game on an Android emulator for a more comfortable control scheme and overall gaming experience. 

We recommend choosing the best Android emulator: LDPlayer is the ideal way to play Brawl Stars on PC. You can easily customize your controls using its Keyboard Mapping feature, allowing you to assign movement and skill controls to any key on your keyboard. This makes it simple and quick to control your brawlers' movements with the WASD keys.

Conclusion

That’s it with the Brawl Stars Katana Kingdom guide. You are now prepared for the upcoming event, equipped with all the details and rewards available during the event season. Follow the guidelines provided, and get ready to dominate throughout the event. Be sure to claim as many rewards as possible and collect new heroes to enhance your roster.
