Melodie Brawl Stars is the new mythic brawler who loves performing on stage with her microphone. She fires Monster Notes that circle around her, dealing high damage to enemies. This karaoke-themed character was first teased in Brawl Stars Season 24’s Brawl Talk and has been eagerly anticipated by the community. In this guide, we’ll cover everything about Melodie’s release date, abilities, stats, and how to unlock her in the game. Whether you’re a long-time player or new to Brawl Stars, you’ll find all the latest info on Melodie’s skills, gameplay strategies, and how she fits into the latest update.
Who Is Melodie Brawl Stars?
Melodie is a mythic rarity brawler with a fast movement speed and long-range attacks. She was announced alongside fellow newcomer Angelo in the Season 24 Brawl Talk (February 2024). Described as a “karaoke” idol, Melodie wields a microphone to launch monster notes at her opponents. When these notes hit a target, they spawn additional notes that orbit around Melodie, dealing extra damage. In other words, Melodie can stack up to three musical notes around her, making her attacks much stronger over time. Her Super, Catchy Chorus, gives her three quick dashes to dash into or escape from fights.
Melodie’s persona is that of a pop-rock idol with devilish charm – the official lore even quips, “When it comes to Karaoke, Melodie shows no mercy”. In game terms, she’s an Assassin-class brawler with moderate health and very high burst potential. For example, at Power Level 1 Melodie has 4100 HP and her basic shot deals 460 damage (920 damage per note when two notes hit). Her stats scale upwards, making her a potent threat in mid-to-long range combats as more notes build up. Because of her mobility and attack pattern, Melodie excels in open maps where she can kite opponents while rotating notes around her.
As a new brawler, Melodie also brings new gadgets and star powers into the game: her Perfect Pitch gadget temporarily speeds up her notes and expands their radius, while Interlude grants her a damage-absorbing shield based on the number of notes she has. Her first Star Power, Fast Beats, further boosts her movement speed per note, and the second, Extended Mix, makes her notes last longer. These skills will be key for mastering her gameplay.
Melodie Release Date & How to Unlock
Melodie’s release date was officially announced for late March 2024. According to the Season 24 update overview, Melodie was scheduled to arrive “late March” as a new Mythic Brawler. In practice, the game launched her on March 27, 2024 via an Early Access special and in the Starr Road on April 4, 2024. Here’s how players could unlock her:
-
Early Access Bundle: Starting March 27, 2024, players could purchase Melodie’s $19.99 value pack in the in-game shop. This bundle included Melodie herself plus pins, gold, power points, and the exclusive “SIF Melodie” skin over six days of offers.
-
Starr Road: After the early access period ended, Melodie became available to all players via the Starr Road on April 4, 2024. She costs 1900 Credits there, so players needed to save credits from the Brawl Pass or shop to unlock her for free.
By following these steps, players could add the new brawler to their roster. Melodie was part of Brawl Stars Season 24 (the “Ragnarok” season), released just before the Timeless season ended. (She and Angelo both got skins and early releases in that same timeframe.) Once unlocked, Melodie becomes available in all game modes like other mythic brawlers.
Unlock Tips: If you have Brawl Pass Plus, your credits build up faster, helping you reach 1900 Credits sooner for Melodie. Otherwise, consider saving your cash or purchasing the early access bundle if you want to play Melodie immediately.
Melodie’s Skills, Abilities & Stats
Melodie’s kit revolves around her microphone attack and the notes it spawns. Here’s a breakdown of her main abilities:
-
Attack – Monster Notes: Melodie fires a long-range monster note that deals relatively low damage on hit. However, each hit spawns a musical note that orbits around her for 8 seconds. Up to 3 notes can circle Melodie at once. These notes deal double damage of her base shot (e.g., 920 damage per note at level 1) if they hit an enemy. Managing these notes is key: they amplify her damage the longer they stay active.
-
Super – Catchy Chorus: Upon charging 100%, Melodie can dash forward up to three times, but she must use all dashes before recharging. The dash itself does not deal damage but allows Melodie to quickly close gaps or escape. Importantly, her Super can create Hypercharge notes (with her Hypercharge power) each time it’s used, further stacking her note count.
-
Gadget 1 – Perfect Pitch: When activated, this gadget increases Melodie’s note orbit speed by 25% and expands their radius by 60% for 5 seconds. This means her notes cover more ground and can hit enemies that are farther away. Use Perfect Pitch to catch opponents hiding behind cover or to quickly build stacks of notes. Cooldown: 14 seconds.
-
Gadget 2 – Interlude: Activating Interlude gives Melodie a shield based on her note count. Each orbiting note provides a 10% health shield block (up to 30% total, or 60% with Hypercharge). The shield gradually decays. This is a defensive gadget ideal for when Melodie is swarmed by enemies – it can absorb big hits based on her HP. Cooldown: 19 seconds.
-
Star Power – Fast Beats: With Fast Beats, Melodie gains 6% increased movement speed per active note. With three notes and the star powered, she can be up to ~18% faster (plus more with Hypercharge). This greatly enhances her kiting ability.
-
Star Power – Extended Mix: Extended Mix makes each note last 25% longer (9 seconds instead of 8). The longer notes stick around, the more time Melodie has to stack additional notes and deal continuous damage.
Below is a quick stat snapshot for Melodie at maximum level (Power Level 10) based on official data:
-
HP (Level 10): 6840 (very moderate for a mythic)
-
Basic Attack: 874 damage (per shot)
-
Damage per Note: 1748 (when a note hits)
-
Attack Range: Long (8 tiles)
-
Movement Speed: 720 (base)
Melodie’s mobility is decent – her base speed is 720, which is on par with many ranged brawlers. With Fast Beats, her speed can climb into the 800–1100 range if notes are active. Her health is average for a mid-range damage dealer. The key is that her effective damage rises as she accumulates notes on her; three notes hitting at Power 10 would deal over 5200 total damage.
Gameplay Tips and Best Strategy
To excel with Melodie, focus on building and utilizing your notes:
-
Keep Hitting Enemies: Try to land consecutive shots so you can reach the 3-note maximum. Each additional note dramatically boosts your damage output.
-
Use Perfect Pitch Aggressively: If you spot enemies before they reach you, activate Perfect Pitch to catch them with a wider note radius. It can turn a normal shot into multiple hits as notes spin out.
-
Save Interlude for Crisis: Interlude’s shield is very strong (up to 30% of health). Activate it when you’re about to take heavy burst damage (e.g. when a Mortis or Colt target you). It won’t increase note count, so use it defensively.
-
Dash Smartly: Use your three dashes either to dive into a cluster of enemies (for surprise high DPS) or to dash out of danger. Remember you must use all three before recharging, so don’t waste them.
-
Positioning: Melodie shines in open areas where enemies can’t easily hide. Close-quarters maps (like Hot Zone or Siege) can be tricky since she can’t move through walls during her dashes. Long-range maps (e.g. Gem Grab wide fields) let her notes and Perfect Pitch work best.
-
Gear & Build: If using Gears or Power Points, increase her damage and survivability. For Gears, “Steady” can help mitigate incoming damage, and “Exhaust” slows targets you hit, making it easier to land shots. For Star Powers, beginners often prefer Fast Beats to stay mobile, but Extended Mix can be deadly in the hands of players who consistently stack notes.
Melodie pairs well with brawlers who can protect her or push enemies into view. For example, a tank like Frank or Bull can absorb damage while Melodie stays behind firing notes. In Showdown, take advantage of bushes or walls to safely launch charged shots. Overall, Melodie is a strong pick once her notes are active – she can melt most brawlers if left unchecked.
Melodie in the Update (Season 24 Context)
Melodie was introduced as part of the Season 24 update (code-named “Ragnarok” or “Sands of Time”). The official patch notes and Brawl Talk highlighted her as one of two new brawlers (the other being Angelo). Besides her release, this season brought features like new Ranked Mode and Hypercharges, but for players, the main focus was unlocking Melodie.
Since her launch, she has appeared in Brawl Pass and Starr Drops as needed. As a Mythic, Melodie’s release also meant new themed skins and pins (like the “SIF Melodie” skin in her early access). Community feedback noted her unique mechanic: while her basic attack is weak, her high burst from notes makes her a rewarding but challenging brawler. The devs did adjust her slightly in later patches to balance that damage, so keep an eye on patch updates.
“Melodie is a relatively mid-to-long range brawler who deals moderate damage with one projectile. However, each attack she connects summons musical notes (up to 3 max) which spin around her, dealing significant damage on contact”. This official description from Season 24’s reveal underlines how her gameplay revolves around stacking and using notes.
As of the latest 2025 patches, Melodie remains a popular Mythic choice. Her release date clearly falls in spring 2024 (March 27 / April 4), but she continues to be a valuable pick in various game modes. Keep an eye on any future balance updates as the developers fine-tune her damage or note mechanics.
