Katana Kingdom Event – Structure & Rewards

The Brawl Stars Katana Kingdom event runs as a limited-time in-game challenge set within the theme of ancient combat and loyalty. Unlike typical events, this one combines a special progression system, exclusive PvE battles, and unlockable cosmetics tied to your performance and faction choices.

🗡️ Event Structure

  • Chapter Progression: The event unfolds across 4 story chapters, each with its own dedicated game mode — Samurai Smash, Mega Buffet, Oni Hunt, and The Final Battle. New chapters unlock weekly.
  • Daily Tickets: Each event mode grants players up to four daily entries via tickets. Wins in these matches contribute toward unlocking Sushi Rolls and pushing progress in the event pass.
  • Sushi Meter: Opening Sushi Rolls fills a progress bar that rewards you with bonus loot like coins, credits, and rare Wasabi Powers.
  • Exclusive Modes: Each chapter includes unique gameplay: PvPvE boss hunts, club-wide challenges, and leaderboard battles, encouraging different playstyles.

🎁 Rewards & Cosmetics

  • Sushi Rolls: These act as the primary event currency. Open them to receive randomized loot and unlock Wasabi Powers. Rolls are earned through victories and event participation.
  • Wasabi Powers: Special buffs for specific brawlers that enhance their performance in event modes. They vary by rarity and give combat advantages like speed, damage, or healing bonuses.
  • Seasonal Skins: Includes themed skins such as Lotus Piper, Shadow Nita, and Samurai Edgar, each featuring custom visual effects and unique animations.
  • Starr Drops & Resources: Alongside cosmetics, players earn coins, credits, power points, and progression toward Starr Road unlocks.

There are no factions, voting, or alternate narrative paths — this event focuses on skill-based progression and community-wide PvE/PvP challenges.

Participating actively in the Katana Kingdom event not only grants rare cosmetics but also offers a more immersive narrative progression than usual. Whether you fight for honor or style, your role in this event shapes how the story unfolds.

New Brawlers – Kaze & Jae-Yong

Kaze – Wind Blade Assassin

Kaze Brawl Stars

Kaze is the first Ultra Legendary assassin in Brawl Stars, combining two unique fighting styles: the elegant Geisha and the deadly Ninja. Her gameplay revolves around switching between these aspects using her signature gadget. Geisha form allows her to quickly dash and slash through targets, dealing massive critical damage in close combat, while her Ninja aspect gives her access to longer-range dual-knife attacks and invisibility-based tricks.

Mastering Kaze means learning when to swap aspects and how to use her dashes, spacing, and mobility to dominate the battlefield. She’s perfect for players who enjoy high-risk, high-reward brawlers with stylish mechanics.

Strengths: Burst mobility, aspect swapping, deceptive playstyle, strong in Knockout and Bounty.
Weaknesses: Difficult to master, low health, vulnerable during cooldowns.

Jae-Yong – Mode-Switching Support

Brawl Stars Jae-Yong

Jae-Yong is a Mythic support brawler with a fun twist: he lives a double life as an office worker by day and karaoke "legend" by night. Mechanically, his gameplay centers around two modes — Work and Party — that completely change how he functions in battle. In Work Mode, Jae-Yong’s attacks create slipstreams that increase movement speed for teammates, enabling fast rotations and escapes. In Party Mode, his projectiles heal allies while still damaging enemies.

His Super allows him to toggle between modes while delivering a burst effect: a team-wide speed boost in Work Mode, or an instant AoE heal in Party Mode. Jae-Yong excels in coordinated teams and thrives in control-based modes like Hot Zone and Brawl Ball.

Strengths: High team value, flexible playstyle, great support synergy.
Weaknesses: Struggles without teammates, low burst potential, positioning dependent.

Both brawlers are available through Starr Road or special shop offers during the season. If you're curious to learn more, detailed guides on Kaze and Jae-Yong are already available on our blog – including their stats, best builds, tips, and recommended strategies.

Battle for Katana Kingdom – Full Event Overview

The Battle for Katana Kingdom is a four-part event saga filled with narrative progression, creative game modes, and one of the most rewarding currency systems Brawl Stars has introduced. From PvPvE boss fights to club-based competition, this seasonal event offers more than just cosmetics – it’s an experience.

🗡️ Chapter 1: Way of the Wasabi

In this opening stage, players take on the Samurai Smash mode — a team-based PvPvE experience where you must defeat both enemy brawlers and AI-controlled Robot Samurais. The goal is to collect golden Daruma dolls scattered across the battlefield. First team to gather 50 dolls (in 3v3) or 100 dolls (in 5v5) wins. The twist? You can gain an edge by equipping Wasabi Powers, adding depth and strategy to the fight.

🍣 Chapter 2: Rise of the Futomaki Five

This chapter introduces the Mega Buffet – a club-wide challenge mode where teamwork is essential. Each member gets four tickets per day to contribute wins. As your club collects victories, you unlock Sushi Rolls and push the team up a shared leaderboard. Only clubs with strong coordination will reach the highest milestones, and top contributors are displayed publicly, creating a bit of friendly pressure.

👹 Chapter 3: The Taste of Vengeance

The dreaded Oni Hunt awaits! This is a boss fight mode where a team of three takes on a robotic Oni. Every time you defeat it, it comes back stronger, with new attack patterns and more danger. You must survive increasingly difficult rounds to earn rewards. Strategic survival matters here — if your team is wiped, you lose progress. Higher difficulties unlock Sushi Rolls and greater coin payouts.

Level Reward Difficulty
1 20 Coins Normal
2 30 Coins Hard
3 50 Coins Expert
4 1 Sushi Roll Master
5 1 Sushi Roll Insane

⚔️ Chapter 4: The Final Cut

The epic finale comes in The Final Battle. Each day, you’ll choose a game mode to fight in and commit to it — no switching. You’ll be matched with others who made the same choice, and performance will place you on a leaderboard. The higher your daily rank, the more Sushi Rolls you receive. You get four tickets per day to make your impact, and it all adds up to a dramatic conclusion to the Katana Kingdom event.

Each chapter of the Katana Kingdom brings its own tone and gameplay focus, offering something for every type of player — from brawler mains and PvE enjoyers to club grinders and leaderboard climbers.

Tips for Playing the Katana Kingdom Season

  • Choose the right mode daily in The Final Battle: Pay attention to which game mode favors your best brawlers or most synergistic comps. Once locked in, you can’t change — so commit strategically.
  • Use Wasabi Powers wisely: Not all Wasabi Powers are equal. Prioritize unlocking and equipping those for brawlers you use frequently in event modes. Extra mobility or survivability can make all the difference in Oni Hunt or Samurai Smash.
  • Don’t burn Sushi Rolls too early: Save Sushi Rolls until you’ve accumulated a few. Opening them in batches gives better reward rhythm and lets you better track your Sushi Meter progress.
  • In Oni Hunt, assign roles: One player should kite the boss, one focus on adds, and one serve as support or backup. Staying alive is more important than rushing damage.
  • Track your club’s contributions: In Mega Buffet, every win counts. Communicate with your club and remind members to use their tickets. Top contributors get recognition — and help everyone earn more Sushi.
  • Counter popular Wasabi builds: If many players run Wasabi movement boosts, bring slows or control-focused brawlers like Lou, Gale, or Sandy to keep the field balanced.
  • Time your Super swaps with Jae-Yong: Switching from Work to Party Mode during a teamfight can turn the tide. Don’t hold it too long — be reactive and play around your team’s positioning.
  • Kaze thrives in edge play: Use walls, narrow corridors, and stealth zones to control your strike spots. Geisha form is best in close quarters, while Ninja excels in open poke trades.

The Katana Kingdom season offers high replayability and dynamic pacing — but it rewards planning, synergy, and smart use of new mechanics. Take time to learn the modes, communicate with your club, and use Sushi & Wasabi tactically to dominate each chapter.

Conclusion

The Brawl Stars Katana Kingdom event delivers a rich seasonal experience filled with story chapters, innovative modes, and two of the most creative brawlers to date. Whether you're competing in PvPvE battles, farming Sushi Rolls, or unlocking Wasabi Powers, this season is all about commitment and creativity.

Make the most of the limited-time content by completing daily tasks, coordinating with your club, and mastering Jae-Yong and Kaze’s unique playstyles. The deeper you go into the Kingdom, the more rewarding it becomes — both in loot and gameplay variety.
