Ziggy, the Glam Rock Illusionist, Joins Brawl Stars from Comic-Con 2025

Brawl Stars has officially unveiled a brand-new Brawler named Ziggy during their panel at Comic-Con San Diego 2025, bypassing the traditional Brawl Talk reveal. With his wizardly glam rock aesthetic, Ziggy brings a bold new flavor to the game — and he's expected to arrive in the next major update.

A Rockstar Illusionist Enters the Arena

Ziggy is a striking fusion of flashy stage magician and 80s rockstar, complete with glam vibes and spellbinding flair. Unlike typical reveals, his debut at Comic-Con came as a surprise to many. He appears to be part of a new group known as the Illusionizards, likely connected to the existing MadEvil Manor theme. While his look fits right in with that gothic trio, Ziggy introduces a flamboyant magical twist to the already heavy metal-inspired design.

Ziggy's Origins and Personality

Early concept art suggests Ziggy was originally named Rox the Illusionist — a former teacher at the Illusionizards school who also entertained at kids' parties. His personality radiates confidence and showmanship, with an unmistakable falsetto rockstar energy. Expect flair, theatrics, and an over-the-top performance style.

Abilities Breakdown

• Main Attack: Lightning Strike

Ziggy hurls lightning bolts using his plasma ball, targeting a location after a short delay. While “Lightning Strike” is the current placeholder name, it might be renamed before launch.

• Super Ability: Thunderstorm

His Super unleashes a dome-like storm — similar in function to Kaze’s Super — dealing area-of-effect damage and stunning enemies caught inside. It's both visually dramatic and tactically disruptive.

When Is Ziggy Coming to Brawl Stars?

While full gameplay details, stats, and mechanics are still under wraps, Ziggy is slated for release in an upcoming update, potentially arriving alongside Trunk this August. Fans are eager to see how Ziggy’s unique kit will shake up the meta — especially with his electrifying new playstyle.

For now, all eyes are on what the developers have planned next.
