Brawl-O-Ween 2025 Complete Event Guide: Trick or Treat Boxes, Boss Strategies & All Rewards

03 Oct 2025 | Blog - Brawl Stars

Brawl-O-Ween 2025 introduces a completely new Trick or Treat system with two box types, six challenging bosses, and the Sugar Rush mechanic. Here's everything you need to maximize your rewards this Halloween season.

Trick or Treat: Two Box Systems Explained

This year's event gives you two different ways to spend your candy, and understanding which box to prioritize is crucial for maximizing rewards.

Trick Boxes: The New Halloween Loot System

Trick Boxes are brand new boxes you can purchase with Candy. They're packed with Halloween-exclusive content:

• New Brawl-O-Ween Skins - This season's exclusive Halloween skins
• Old Brawl-O-Ween Skins - Past Halloween skins making a return
• Cosmetics - Sprays, profile icons, and other customization items
• Progression Items - Power Points, coins, and other upgrade materials
• Starr Powers & Gadgets - Unlock abilities for your brawlers
• Hypercharges - The powerful ultimate abilities
• Brawlers - Unlock new characters

If you're missing old Halloween skins or want the new exclusive ones, Trick Boxes are your best bet.

Treat Boxes: Trophy Box Upgrades for Big Rewards

Treat Boxes work completely differently. They're actually Trophy Boxes that you can upgrade to Ultra level using Candy.

Why choose Treat Boxes over Trick Boxes?

• Ultra Boxes can drop Legendary Skins
• Ultra Boxes can drop Hypercharge Skins
• Once you spend Candy on a Trophy Box, it opens after a countdown timer
• You can open Trophy Boxes as Ultra Boxes two times during the season

Strategy tip: If you already have most Halloween skins and want a shot at the rarest cosmetics, save your candy for Treat Box upgrades. The legendary drop rate makes it worth the investment.

How to Earn Candy: Three Methods

Unlike real-life trick-or-treating, you don't need to leave your house. Here's how to stack candy fast:

1. Daily Wins

Every match you win rewards candy. Consistent play throughout October will naturally accumulate a solid candy balance for multiple box openings.

2. Defeating Brawl-O-Ween Bosses

The six new Halloween bosses reward substantial candy per victory. Boss fights are the fastest way to farm candy if you've got the skill and the right strategy. More on boss strategies below.

3. Sugar Rush Button: The 10-Minute Power Spike

Here's where things get interesting. The Sugar Rush button gives you a massive bonus for every match you play for 10 minutes.

Important Sugar Rush Rules:

• Works for both boss fights AND normal matches
• Only lasts 10 minutes - every second counts
• Not available all the time - appears on a timer
• Bonuses apply whether you're playing ranked, showdown, or boss fights

How to Maximize Sugar Rush

When that Sugar Rush button appears, here's how to squeeze every drop of candy from those 10 minutes:

• Play with friends or good randoms - Higher win rate means more candy
• Use low-trophy brawlers - Easier matchmaking = faster wins
• Farm easy bosses - If you've mastered a specific boss, spam that fight for quick victories
• Choose fast game modes - Gem Grab and Knockout end faster than Heist or Siege
• Don't waste time in menus - Have your brawler selected and ready before activating Sugar Rush

Pro players are reporting 3-5x normal candy earnings during Sugar Rush if you win consistently. That's the difference between one Trick Box and three.

Boss Fight Strategies: Six Unique Challenges

Each Brawl-O-Ween boss has distinct mechanics that require different strategies. They get progressively harder with each win, so understanding their patterns early is crucial.

Plague Doctor Crow: High Mobility + Poison

Mechanics: Fast movement, poison damage over time (just like regular Crow but amplified)

Strategy:

• Bring brawlers with healing abilities (Pam, Byron, Poco)
• Poison stacks, so avoid getting hit repeatedly
• Use walls to break line of sight and stop poison damage
• High DPS brawlers like Colt or 8-Bit can pressure him before he stacks poison

Headless Tickman: Summons Multiple Tick Heads

Mechanics: Spawns Tick's mine heads that chase players

Strategy:

• Use Mr. P's porters, Nita's bear, or Jessie's turret to block incoming heads
• Pets and spawned units act as shields - use them strategically
• Area control brawlers like Dynamike can destroy multiple heads at once
• Keep moving - standing still = guaranteed hits

Caretta Spike: Long-Range Pattern Attacks

Mechanics: Attacks from extreme range with predictable patterns

Strategy:

• Learn the attack patterns - they repeat
• Once you've memorized patterns, dodging becomes trivial
• Close the distance fast with high-mobility brawlers (Max, Crow, Edgar)
• Throwers like Barley can fight him at range without risking getting hit

Kizu Kenji: Oni Kenji's Revenge

Mechanics: The ghost of Oni Kenji returns with enhanced abilities

Strategy:

• Expect high burst damage - don't face-tank his attacks
• Use brawlers with dashes or mobility to dodge his skill shots
• Tank brawlers like Frank or El Primo can absorb hits while DPS focuses him down
• Watch for his ultimate animation and back off immediately

Gargoyle R-T: The Fortress Boss

Mechanics: Strong zone control, defensive positioning

Strategy:

• Respect his zone control - don't run into his range blindly
• Poke damage works best - whittle him down slowly
• Know when to attack and when to retreat
• Bring brawlers that excel at controlling space (Bea, Piper, Belle)

Ghost Diver Rico: Bullet Hell Mode

Mechanics: The most difficult boss - floods the screen with projectiles

Strategy:

• Your dodging skills need to be elite for this one
• This is Brawl Stars' first proper bullet hell experience
• Practice the patterns - they're complex but learnable
• Use walls to block projectiles
• Consider bringing shield brawlers or damage-reduction gadgets
• Watch YouTube strategies before attempting - this boss has a steep learning curve

General Boss Tips:

• Bosses get harder with each victory - learn mechanics on early attempts
• Coordinate with teammates - boss fights reward teamwork
• Check community strategies on YouTube and Reddit for advanced tactics
• Use Sugar Rush when farming bosses you've already mastered

Brawl Pass & New Skins

This season's Brawl Pass is one of the best they've designed for Halloween:

Plague Doctor Crow Brawl Pass

The main skin is Plague Doctor Crow, featuring medieval plague doctor aesthetics mixed with Crow's signature style. The pass also includes two chromas:

• Old Hunter Crow - Dark, weathered hunter theme
• Death's Door Crow - Grim reaper-inspired variant

This is legitimately one of the highest-quality skin sets they've released. The detail work on Plague Doctor Crow alone makes it worth considering if you main Crow.

Ziggy Boxes (Early Access Event)

The new brawler Ziggy gets early access boxes during the event. If you want to unlock Ziggy before everyone else, these boxes are your fastest path.

New Brawl-O-Ween Skins

After the event ends, these skins hit the shop:

• Ghost Diver Rico - Translucent ghost skin with diving gear
• Gargoyle R-T - Stone gargoyle transformation
• Teen Ruffs - Younger version of Colonel Ruffs
• Headless Tickman - Headless horseman-inspired Tick

Porcelain Skins

A new porcelain skin line launches alongside Brawl-O-Ween, featuring elegant Chinese porcelain aesthetics. These aren't Halloween-themed but release during the October season.

Community Event (End of Brawl-O-Ween)

Supercell's teasing a community event for the end of Halloween season. Details are still sparse, but expect community challenges with exclusive rewards.

How to Afford Everything (Without Spending)

Here's the reality: The candy system gives you free skins and progression, but the Brawl Pass and premium skins still cost gems. And gems cost money.

Unless you know the alternative.

Earn Gems Through Sponsor Offers

Instead of hoping for Supercell's rare free gem events, smart players use sponsor offer programs:

• Download sponsored apps and complete simple tasks
• Earn real gems without spending real money
• Takes 20-30 minutes to earn enough for a premium skin
• Multiple offers available - stack them for the Brawl Pass

It's not instant like a credit card, but it's free and it works. More importantly, you're earning rewards through effort instead of emptying your wallet for digital cosmetics.

Your Brawl-O-Ween Strategy

Here's how to maximize rewards this season:

1. Log in daily - Collect candy from daily wins consistently
2. Master 2-3 easy bosses - Farm these during Sugar Rush for maximum candy
3. Save candy for Treat Boxes if you want legendary skins - Use Trick Boxes if you want Halloween exclusives
4. Earn gems through offers - Get the Brawl Pass without spending
5. Don't buy every skin - Pick what actually matters to you
6. Use Sugar Rush strategically - Don't waste it on tough matches

Final Thoughts

Brawl-O-Ween 2025 is the most rewarding Halloween event Brawl Stars has ever done. The Trick or Treat system actually gives F2P players a path to exclusive skins, the boss fights are genuinely challenging, and the Sugar Rush mechanic rewards skilled play.

You've got the whole month to grind candy, master bosses, and stack rewards. Use this guide to maximize your earnings, and you'll walk away with a solid haul without spending a dime.

Now get out there and start farming candy. Those bosses won't beat themselves.
