The Brawl Stars developers have introduced a new Mythic Controller brawler named Cosmo. To celebrate the character's arrival, a special official animation was released to reveal his backstory. The hero is currently in early access.
According to the game's lore, Cosmo serves as the head astronomer at the Starr Park observatory. His daily routine involves giving lectures about the universe to visitors and constantly observing the stars.
The new brawler's gameplay mechanics perfectly match his class and are focused on battlefield control. His basic attack, "Orbit," fires three holographic planets. The unique feature of this skill is that as the projectiles spread further apart, their size and damage output increase. His Super ability, "Gravity," allows him to throw a magnet at an opponent. It attaches to the target for six seconds and powerfully pulls all attacks from Cosmo and his team toward it.
An arsenal of additional enhancements allows players to flexibly adapt to the situation on the map:
- Gadgets: Players can choose to knock back enemies in a specific area or create a special trap. The latter reveals invisible opponents for 6 seconds and completely blocks their movement abilities (dashes, jumps, etc.).
- Star Powers: These allow for either a 25% increase in the orbital speed of the basic attack's planets or the instant restoration of two ammo slots upon a successful Super hit.
An interesting detail is that Cosmo is only the second robot in Brawl Stars (after Carl) to feature regular human voice acting instead of a synthesized voice. Meanwhile, the character's visual design has already sparked a community reaction—players are actively pointing out his resemblance to the Cameraman from the Skibidi Toilet web series.
