Brawl Stars V8-BIT Retropolis Challenge: All you need to know
Friendly rules do apply to this challenge. This means that players will have access to all the star powers and gadgets to keep the playing ground level. The challenge consists of 5 modes. Each mode is going to have 2 matches each, therefore a total of 10 matches would be played. Players are required to win 10 matches and the challenge will end at 3 losses. A draw is neither a win nor a loss. Therefore, players will have to play an extra match in case of a draw.
Game Modes and Maps
1. Heist – RattleSnake Ravine
The oddly shaped map has a lot of brawlers that can thrive. Therefore, it is essential to be wary at the start and not push overly. The teleporters act as a surprise element. So, one must beware of the enemy assassins and tanks making their way through the teleporters. The two lanes can be controlled by mid to long-ranged brawlers while the mid is an area where either throwers or tanks like Bull and Darryl can be used, due to the close proximity with the teleporter.
Team Compositions
- Bull/Edgar, Amber/Rico, Brock
- Bull/Darryl, Rico/Spike, Brock.
- Brock, Dynamike, Penny.
Star Power and Gadgets
- Bull: Berserker and T-Bone Injector

2. Bounty – Electric Zone
A classic bounty map where long-ranged brawlers thrive with some walls for throwers like Tick and Sprout to take cover. The central area is well suited for Belle and Piper, while one lane can be taken by Brock. The other lane can be manned by either throwers or assassins like Mortis or Leon. Another variation can be the one where Brock takes center control, Carl holds one lane while one of Mortis or Leon can pressurize the opposing brawler.
Team Compositions
- Brock, Piper, Tick/Sprout.
- Brock, Belle, Piper/Penny.
- Brock, Carl, Mortis/Leon.

3. Knockout – Flaring Pheonix
This map is similar in structure to the Bounty map. The only major difference lies in the fact, is that the mid is wide open, leaving no jump pads. The team compositions, therefore, closely resemble the compositions for the previous game mode.
Team Compositions
- Piper, Brock, Leon/Mortis
- Piper/Belle, Brock, Tick
- Emz, Griff, Brock

- Brock: Incendiary and Rocket Fuel

4. Hot Zone – Night At the Museum
A single zone hot zone map is always a tough match. This is since it can turn in any teams favour at any moment in time. It is important to gain control of the zone by pushing back the enemy. When in control, the players must make sure to keep the enemy in check. The brawlers viable on this map are those who have the ability to do splash damage or piercing damage thereby having control of a larger area of the map. Sandy, Emz, Amber, Tick, Barley, Jessie and Poco are the brawlers who do well. Brock’s buff also makes him a good pick on the map. The pick of Jacky can also be viable for maintaining control of the zone.
Team Compositions
- Sandy, Emz/Amber, Brock/Jacky.
- Ash, Byron/Poco, Buzz.
- Emz, Jessie, Amber.
- Tick/Barley, Amber/Sandy, Emz.
Star Power and Gadgets
- Brock: Rocket no 4 and Rocket Fuel
- Amber: Wild Flames
- Emz: Hype
- Poco: Da Capo ! and Tuning Fork
- Buzz: Tougher Torpedo
- Byron: Injection
- Ash: First Bash
- Jessie: Energize and Spark Plug
- Sandy: Healing Winds and Sweet Dreams
5. Gem Grab – Pierced
Three defined lanes make the map a unique one. The compositions in Brawl ball revolve around brawlers having defined roles such as Gem carrier, Support, and Aggro support. The idea of the comps in this map can be either playing around the three lanes or changing the structure of the map using attacks and supers that break walls.
Team Compositions
- Brock/Buzz, Byron, Ash.
- Rico, Gene, Mortis.
- Ash, Belle, Carl/Sandy.
Star Power and Gadgets
