How this list is built
  • Dates and the buff or nerf classification come from each brawler's recorded change history, cross-checked against the release notes. The numbers come from the patch itself and the wording is ours, never the source's.
  • Changes that hit every brawler at once, such as a gear or power-level rework, produce no brawler rows, so a short list does not mean little changed.
  • A brawler with a buff and a nerf on the same day appears under both headings.
