FAQ
How to change your nickname on Brawl Stars?
Open Brawl Stars, tap on your profile at the top left, then on the pencil icon next to your name. The first change is free. Subsequent changes cost gems (the price varies according to Supercell updates).
What is the maximum number of characters for a Brawl Stars nickname?
The Brawl Stars nickname allows up to 15 characters. Note: some Unicode symbols count as 1 or 2 characters depending on their encoding. Always test before confirming.
Do special characters work on Brawl Stars?
Yes, most Unicode characters (decorative symbols, stylized letters, Chinese/Japanese characters) work on Brawl Stars. The method: copy-paste from an external site or from this article. Direct keyboard input does not work for these characters.
What is the best tryhard Brawl Stars nickname?
There is no universal answer, but the most effective nicknames are short (4-8 chars), with a maximum of 1 symbol, and a hard sound (X, K, Z, V). Examples: ✦VOID✦, ꧁APEX꧂, 龍KAI, SHDW.
Can you put emojis in your Brawl Stars nickname?
Some emojis work, others do not. Text emojis (⚡, ❄, ⚔) generally work better than colored emojis (🔥, 💀). Test on a case-by-case basis.
What is a tryhard Brawl Stars nickname?
“Tryhard” refers to a player who plays hard to win. A tryhard nickname is therefore a nickname that inspires competitiveness: short, aggressive, often with hard consonants or intimidating symbols.
Can you have the same nickname as another player?
Yes. Unlike other games, Brawl Stars does not enforce nickname uniqueness. Two players can have the same name. Only the tag (e.g., #ABC123) is unique.

E-E-A-T Checklist
Note: Structured data (Article + Author + FAQ JSON-LD) will be generated automatically upon article publication. No action is required from you for this.
- Author card with credibility link. Adds a signature at the top of the article with the author’s name, photo, and a link to their LinkedIn profile (or YouTube/Twitch gaming channel). On a community gaming topic like Brawl Stars nicknames, showing that the author actually plays the game immediately builds trust with young readers. “Want me to draft a ready-to-paste author card snippet? Just ask.”
- Engagement element at the top of the article. Integrate a 3-question quiz like “Which Brawl Stars nickname suits you?” just after the TL;DR. This interactive format perfectly fits the young gaming audience and increases time spent on the page before scrolling to the lists. “I can draft 3 quiz questions or suggest a YouTube angle if you want.”
- Homemade photos / screenshots. Two sections where a real screenshot would make all the difference:
- Under “Compatible special characters”: a screenshot of the nickname change screen in Brawl Stars with a nickname containing visible and validated symbols ꧁ ༒ ✦, proving it really works.
- Under “The best Brawl Stars nicknames from pros”: a screenshot of the leaderboard on brawlify.com or an esports match showing the nickname “Tensai” or “Milkreo” in-game, proving spectator/player experience in the competitive scene.
- Expert-only insights to add yourself. Three angles only a real player can bring:
- “What nickname did you have on Brawl Stars and why did you change it? What would you have done differently?”
- “Among the symbols in the list, which ones did you test that ultimately didn’t work in the game?”
- “Has your nickname ever influenced how opponents treated you in a match (more respect, more targets on you)?” “Send me your raw notes and I’ll weave them into the right sections.”
- Publisher’s personal opinion in the body of the article. The section “The best Brawl Stars nicknames from pros” is ideal for a “My opinion” callout. For example, a blockquote: “My opinion: pros all bet on readable and short nicknames, without frills. It’s counterintuitive when starting out, but a simple nickname like ‘Tensai’ sticks much longer than a ꧁༒DARKL0RD༒꧂.” Rewrite it with your own experience as a spectator or player. Also add at the bottom of the article an open question like “And you, what is your Brawl Stars nickname?” to encourage comments.
- Source verification. Check that these URLs cited in the article are still active and point to the correct content:
- support.supercell.com/brawl-stars/fr/articles/changing-your-name.html (verify that the name change page is still there)
- supercell.com/fr/games/brawlstars/ (official game page)
- fr.nickfinder.com/BrawlStars (check that the generator works without bot blocking)
- lingojam.com/FancyTextGenerator (check that the tool is operational)
