Coins in Brawl Stars are one of the first things every player needs to understand if they want to progress efficiently in this addictive game developed by Supercell. Although often overshadowed by gems, coins are the most important base resource in the game and are directly related to the development of your brawlers and your success in competitive matches.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll explain what coins are in Brawl Stars, how to earn them effectively, what you should (and shouldn't) spend them on, and how to manage them strategically to progress without spending real money. We've also included helpful links and important warnings to keep your account secure.
What are coins in Brawl Stars?
Coins are the main and free currency in Brawl Stars. Unlike gems, which have a premium value and are obtained in smaller quantities, coins are earned more frequently and consistently simply by playing.
With the coins you can:
- Improve the level of your brawlers
- Buy power points
- Acquire stellar equipment and abilities
- Participate in special events and boxes
Without coins, you can't strengthen your characters, which severely limits your ability to compete at higher levels. That's why, although often overlooked, they are the backbone of progression in the game .
How to get coins in Brawl Stars?
There are several ways to get coins in the game. Some are free, others require some strategy and time. Here are the most effective ones:
1. Through the Brawl Pass (Free and Paid)
The Brawl Pass is an excellent source of coins. In both its free and paid versions, you can earn hundreds of coins per season.

2. Boxes
Each time you open a box (large or mega), you have the chance to receive a good amount of coins. Although the box system has been modified over time, it remains a useful source for passively earning coins.
3. Daily and weekly missions
Completing missions allows you to progress faster through the pass and access rewards, including coins.
4. Special Events
Supercell organizes seasonal events (Christmas, Halloween, New Year's, etc.) where you can earn additional rewards , including coins. Some events, such as the "Starr Road," "Championship Challenges," and occasional tournaments, often have substantial prizes.

5. Free daily store
Not all players notice, but Supercell offers free daily rewards in the game's shop . These often include small amounts of coins, power points, or even crates.
What are coins used for in Brawl Stars?
Although it sounds simple, knowing where and when to spend your coins can make all the difference. Here are the most important uses:
1. Improve the level of your brawlers
To level up a brawler, you need power points and coins . Each level up costs more, so it's recommended to focus on the characters you use most often or that are best balanced in the meta.
2. Purchase power points in the store
If you're just a little short of Power Points to level up a Brawler, you can use coins to buy them directly. It's an excellent investment if you're close to reaching the next level for a character.
3. Star Equipment and Abilities
Gears and Star Powers are essential for competing in tournaments and higher leagues. Some of them require coins to activate or upgrade. Without coins, your progress in these areas will be very limited.
4. Reactivation of brawlers in PvE events
In modes like Robo Rumble or Giant Boss, you can pay coins to revive brawlers and continue fighting, a useful option if you're close to an important victory.
