Brawl-O-ween Event 2025: Candy Rush guide, boss strategies, Trick-or-Treat boxes, and every spooky skin to chase

The Brawl-O-ween Event is back—and it’s the best kind of scary. Supercell’s Halloween celebration brings limited-time candy currency, Trick-or-Treat boxes packed with skins and resources, a rotating boss-rush mode against monstrous AI baddies, and a stacked seasonal Brawl Pass headlined by Plague Doctor Crow. If you’re logging in for the first time (or returning after a break), this guide covers everything: how to earn and spend candy efficiently, how the boss mode works (with winning strategies), what’s in the Trick and Treat boxes, and which cosmetics you can target before the cobwebs get cleared away in November.

What’s in the Brawl-O-ween Event this year?

• Candy currency that you earn by playing across modes, knocking out quests, and clearing boss fights.

• Trick or Treat boxes you unlock with candy:

  • Trick Boxes (Halloween pumpkin look) can drop new and returning Brawl-O-ween skins, cosmetics, resources, Gadgets, Star Powers, Hypercharges—even full Brawlers.

  • Treat Boxes are Trophy Boxes you upgrade with candy throughout the event. Fully upgraded Treat Boxes can hit Ultra tier, with a shot at Legendary or Hypercharge skins.

• Boss Rush playlists—time-limited PvE events where trios face six different Halloween bosses across escalating difficulty tiers (Normal → … → Impossible).

• Candy Rush windows (a.k.a. Sugar/Candy Rush) that boost candy earnings for a short burst—don’t miss them.

• A Halloween Brawl Pass featuring Plague Doctor Crow as the marquee reward, plus the Old Hunter Crow and Death’s Door Crow Chroma variants for Brawl Pass Plus.

• Special Quests that turbocharge candy income (like “Win 25 matches”).

• Ongoing seasonal extras: event music, map dressing, and a mid-season Mythic Controller Ziggy unlock event.

How to earn candy fast (and not waste time)

Candy is your Brawl-O-ween fuel. Here’s the fastest, most reliable loop:

1. Grab the free shop candySupercell added a 30-candy free claim in the Shop (apology for earlier matchmaking issues). It’s available to all players—don’t skip it.

2. Play with Candy Rush activeIn the Trick-or-Treat menu is a Candy Rush button that temporarily boosts candy gains (usually ~10 minutes). Always activate this before matches or boss attempts.

3. Daily win milestonesYour 2nd, 4th, and 6th wins of the day award candy. Baseline is 7 candy per milestone—that’s 21 candy daily before any Candy Rush multiplier.

4. Boss battlesEach boss victory awards 8 candy, up to the stage cap. Since the bosses rotate with multiple difficulty tiers, you can chain several wins during Candy Rush for a serious haul.

5. Special questsEvent quests (e.g., Win 25 matches for 50 candy) are your best one-time payouts. Treat them like a background objective while you play your main modes.

Pro tip: If your session time is limited, prioritize Candy Rush → Boss Rush wins → daily win milestones. Quests will naturally progress while you chase those.

Trick vs. Treat: which box should you spend candy on?

Cost: Both Trick and Treat Boxes cost 99 candy.

Trick Box (Pumpkin)

• Best for cosmetics hunters and collection chasers.

• Drops include:

  • New & classic Brawl-O-ween skins

  • Icons, pins, and other cosmetics

  • Coins, Credits, Power Points

  • Gadgets, Star Powers, Hypercharges

  • Even full Brawlers (luck dependent)

When to prefer it: You’re chasing Halloween exclusives (or you just love that “pumpkin-pull” dopamine).

Treat Box (Trophy Box you upgrade)

• “Bank” candy into a Treat Box throughout the event; the final box’s value scales with your upgrades.

• Can reach Ultra tier and roll Legendary or Hypercharge skins.

• You can complete this process twice during the season.

When to prefer it: You want guaranteed end-of-event value with a chance at top-tier skin rolls—and you’re disciplined enough to keep funneling candy into upgrades.

Efficient plan:

• If you’re a collector: split early—one Trick for the Halloween pool, then commit to one Treat for a late-event power roll.

• If you’re value-first: max a Treat ASAP, then use excess candy on Trick Boxes during Candy Rush windows.

Boss Rush 101: how the Halloween bosses work (and how to beat them)

The Brawl-O-ween Event’s boss mode pits three players vs. one massive AI boss with escalating difficulty tiers. There are six distinct bosses, each demanding a slightly different approach.

Universal rules to win more:

• Don’t chain deaths. If two teammates fall, kite and survive to respawn them. Greedy trades wipe trios on higher tiers.

• Recover is winning. Take cover and heal if you dip low; the time you lose retreating is less than the time you lose respawning.

• Early tiers: It’s fine to fan out and chunk the boss from multiple angles.Higher tiers: Focus-fire together, rotate cooldowns, and chain gadgets/supers for burst windows.

• Know your role:

  • Sustained DPS: Colt, Belle, Rico, Piper (map-dependent), Spike—consistent pressure, safe angles.

  • Anchor/Tank: Frank, Jacky, Darryl, Bull—control aggro, create windows for DPS.

  • Support/Utility: Pam, Poco, Byron, Max—keep the team topped and accelerate cycles.

Boss-specific quick reads (examples)

• Plaguemaster Crow (mobile, poison waves):Keep medium range; don’t clump on poison volleys. Spike/Piper/Rico excel.

• Headless Tick-Man (zone denial, mines):Clear mines proactively. Consider tanks to face-tank for your carries; Brock/Colt delete hazards.

• Vinebound/Ghoul variants (lash-out melee, gapclose):Max or Gene help reposition; Jacky/Frank disrupt flurries with stuns.

Best trio templates:

• Classic safe: Pam (heal), Spike (DPS), Max (speed & cycle).

• Aggro burst: Colt (wall-break DPS), Belle (mark burst), Bull/Darryl (finish & peel).

• Control core: Poco (heal), Frank (stun control), Rico (angles & cleanup).

Remember: bosses aren’t invincible—your respawn timer is the real raid boss. Protect it.

Brawl Pass Halloween rewards: Crow’s darkest hour

This year’s seasonal pass is a love letter to Crow mains:

• Plague Doctor Crow (Brawl Pass highlight): a moody, mask-and-plague aesthetic with grim VFX.

• Old Hunter Crow and Death’s Door Crow (Brawl Pass Plus chromas): elevated recolors with unique flair.

If you live for thematic cosmetics, these are keepers—and you can still chase earlier Brawl-O-ween skins from Trick Boxes.

Every Brawl-O-ween skin to target (new & classics)

From the pumpkin pool (Trick Boxes), expect a rotation with:

• New: Plague Doctor Crow (via pass), plus seasonal adjuncts tied to Crow’s line.

• Returning fan favorites: Past Halloween looks like Skeletal Surge, Brawl-O-ween Rosa, Underworld Bo, Zombibi, and other spooky staples often make cameos during the event window.

Tip: If you’re eyeing a specific legacy skin, check the shop daily; some return briefly outside the pumpkin pool during Brawl-O-ween.

Optimal daily routine for busy players

If you’ve only got an hour, here’s a tight plan:

1. Shop → claim free candy (if available).

2. Trigger Candy Rush.

3. Knock out 2, 4, 6 daily wins in a fast queue (e.g., Gem Grab/Heist).

4. Boss Rush grind until Rush expires—push difficulty tiers.

5. Progress a Special Quest (preferably the 25-win milestone).

6. Spend: if nearing end-of-event, finish Treat Box upgrades; otherwise toss today’s 99 candy into a Trick Box during Rush.

Rinse, repeat. You’ll stack candy faster than you think.

Smart spending: your candy roadmap

• Early event (Days 1–5):

  • Lock in one Treat Box upgrade path.

  • Toss a Trick Box or two during Candy Rush for momentum and shot at event skins.

• Mid event:

  • Finish Treat #1, consider starting Treat #2 if you’ll stay active.

  • Otherwise, spend spare candy on Trick Boxes.

• Final days:

  • Complete any Treat upgrades (don’t leave value on the table).

  • Dump remaining candy into Trick Boxes—last-minute luck can be wild.

Extra seasonal notes

• A new Mythic brawler, Ziggy (Controller) drops later this season—watch for a specific unlock event.

• Esports fans: the Brawl Stars World Championship 2025 Last Chance Qualifier runs Oct 10–12 in São Paulo. Expect in-client content tie-ins and watch-to-earn drops.

A quick look back: Brawl-O-ween’s spooky lineage

Veterans might remember 2020’s Amber debut during Brawl-o-ween alongside Graveyard Shift, Poco’s Bandstand map, and a wave of Halloween skins. Since then, Brawl-O-ween has evolved from a reskinmedley into a full seasonal economy with candies, a boss raid, rotating cosmetics vault, and a battle pass theme. 2025 is the most feature-rich version yet—especially with the candy economy and Treat Box upgrade system creating satisfying long-term goals.

Final tips to make the most of Brawl-O-ween

• Play during Candy Rush whenever possible.

• Queue with friends to stabilize boss runs and daily win pace.

• Heal > hero plays in PvE—preserve lives, not pride.

• Don’t sit on candy during the last 48 hours—finish Treats, then pumpkin-pull like a maniac.

• Check the shop daily for surprise Halloween reruns.

The Brawl-O-ween Event is equal parts trick and treat—a limited-time loop that rewards consistency and a keen eye for value. Stock up on candy, master the boss gauntlet, and suit Crow up in his creepiest couture. When the coffins close on the event, you’ll be glad you squeezed every last caramel out of Spooktober. Happy haunting—and sweeter pulls!
