Thunder Frogs Brawl Stars Guide: Release, Unlock and Build

Thunder Frogs are coming to Brawl Stars as a Legendary brawler with a twist: you command three frogs, Zap, Zee, and Volt, as one Artillery brawler that attacks with an electric triangle. With their debut approaching, players are eager to know when Thunder Frogs will be released, how to unlock them, and whether they're worth upgrading.

Based on Supercell's November 2026 update notes, the official Brawl Talk, and early Brawl Vice gameplay previews, this guide covers everything you need to know about Thunder Frogs. We'll look at their release date and unlock options, explain how Triangle Trick and Frogzilla work in battle, and recommend an early build to help you get started.

Who Are the Thunder Frogs in Brawl Stars?

The Thunder Frogs are a trio of stage performers. According to Supercell, Ziggy gifted them a magical hat so they can safely perform their electrifying routine, and every trick in their kit is built around that act: the frogs split up to form a shock triangle, then merge into one giant frog for their Super.

They are the first Legendary brawler in the Artillery class, with a long-range main attack, a normal-range Super, and normal movement speed.

Supercell revealed the frogs in the Brawl Talk on October 31, 2026. The video below starts at their segment, which shows the triangle attack and the Frogzilla Super in action.

The table below lists the Thunder Frogs' health and damage at Power 1 and Power 11.

Thunder Frogs	Stat	Power 1	Power 11
	Health	3,500	7,000
	Frog Landing Damage	480	960
	Triangle Damage (Inside)	1,050	2,100
	Triangle Damage (Sides)	1,500	3,000
	Super Landing Damage (Edge)	1,500	3,000
	Super Landing Damage (Center)	1,950	3,900

Every value doubles at Power 11, which widens the gap between the triangle's sides and its inside to 900 damage per hit.

When Do Thunder Frogs Come Out and How Do You Unlock Them?

The Thunder Frogs are part of the Brawl Vice season and appear in Supercell's November 2026 release notes, but Supercell has only confirmed a November release without naming the day. Creators expect the New Brawler Event to start about one week into the season, around November 12, based on how recent brawler launches were scheduled.

They are the first of three brawlers announced for the end of 2026, and our guide to Brawl Stars' new brawlers covers the rest of this year's release schedule.

Based on the pre-release event screens, there are three ways to add the frogs to your roster.

• New Brawler Event: Play event matches with tickets and earn a Thunder Frogs Box for every two wins. Each box has a small chance to drop the brawler, and the 20th box guarantees the unlock, which works out to 40 wins.
• Brawler Keys: Unlock the frogs directly with 4 Brawler Keys, the standard cost for a Legendary brawler.
• Brawler Blast: After the event, spend 3,800 Credits on the Legendary tier to get a random Legendary you do not own yet. This route does not guarantee the Thunder Frogs.

The event is the only free route that guarantees the frogs, while saved Brawler Keys are the quickest way to play them on day one.

Forty wins is a lot to fit into one event, and extra Thunder Frogs Boxes can be bought with Gems if you fall short of the guarantee. GamsGo's Brawl Stars top-up lets you stock up before the event starts, so you are not scrambling for Gems in the final days.

Free rewards are worth collecting first. Our list of Brawl Stars codes tracks every active store and QR code, and the guide to free gems in Brawl Stars covers the in-game sources you can claim before launch.

How Do Triangle Trick and Frogzilla Work?

Both halves of the Thunder Frogs' kit reward placement more than accuracy. The main attack builds a damage zone between frogs, and the Super gives three separate chances to land a hit, so understanding where the damage actually lands matters more than quick aim.

Triangle Trick

Triangle Trick is a two-step attack with two ammo. Your first shot sends one frog jumping to the target spot, where it deals a small burst of area damage on landing.

When the second frog jumps, electricity surges between all three frogs and forms a triangle that damages every enemy it touches, before the frogs hop back together and the cycle starts again. Like other Artillery brawlers, the frogs are thrown over walls, so enemies behind cover are still within reach.

The key detail is that the sides of the triangle hit over 40% harder than the inside. The ideal shot does not trap an enemy in the middle; it runs one of the triangle's lines straight through them or across their escape path.

A narrow triangle stacks its edges on a small area and is best for picking off a single target, while a wide triangle stretches across a lane or control zone and keeps several enemies moving. Switching between the two shapes is the core skill of this brawler.

Frogzilla

Frogzilla merges the three frogs into one big frog that can jump up to three times. Each landing deals area damage with extra damage at the center of the impact, and the third jump is the largest. Once all three jumps are used or the timer runs out, the Thunder Frogs split back into their normal form.

Three landings make the Super very forgiving. If an enemy dodges the first jump, you still have two more chances, and every jump also moves you, so Frogzilla doubles as a way to chase a target or escape a bad fight.

The strongest pattern is to use the first two jumps to close the distance and save the bigger third jump for the enemy you want to finish or for a group stacked on an objective.

The Hypercharge, Triple the Tricks, adds one more layer: the three landing spots form a triangle that deals 1,050 damage inside and 1,500 at the edges at Power 1, turning the Super into a fourth hit.

What Is the Best Thunder Frogs Build?

No match data exists yet, so the picks below are early recommendations based on what each Gadget and Star Power does.

Double Jumpers with Leech Landing is the safest starting point, and the two situational picks are swaps for specific modes and matchups rather than weaker options.

For Gears, Shield and Damage are sensible defaults. Shield gives a buffer against assassins that dive the back line, which is where an Artillery brawler spends most of the match, and Damage adds value to the triangle when a fight turns close. Once real usage data appears after launch, this section will be updated with the build top players actually run.

Are Thunder Frogs Worth Unlocking?

For most players, yes, especially through the free event route. Early impressions from competitive players point to Frogzilla as the standout part of the kit: three chances to land a hit, combined with Leech Landing's healing, give the Super an unusual mix of damage and sustain.

The main attack has a learning curve, since good damage depends on putting the triangle's sides on moving enemies, but newer players can still contribute by leaning on the forgiving Super while they practice.

Whether to spend Gems on extra boxes depends on how you like to play. If you enjoy controlling space and hitting enemies behind walls, unlocking the frogs on day one lets you learn them while the meta is still open. If you prefer close-range brawlers, waiting for the first balance update is a sensible choice.

Conclusion

The Thunder Frogs bring something new to Brawl Stars: an Artillery brawler whose damage depends on the lines between three frogs rather than a single projectile. Aim with the triangle's edges, pace your Frogzilla jumps, and start with Double Jumpers and Leech Landing until real match data shows a clearer best build.

If you want extra boxes to reach the guaranteed unlock faster, stock up on Gems through the Brawl Stars top-up on GamsGo, and check back once the event is live for updated stats and builds.

FAQ

Do Thunder Frogs Count as One Brawler or Three?

The Thunder Frogs count as one brawler. You unlock, upgrade, and pick Zap, Zee, and Volt together, and they share one kit and one Mastery track. In battle they split apart to form Triangle Trick and merge into one large frog when you use Frogzilla, then return to normal once the Super ends.

Is the Thunder Frogs Hypercharge Available at Launch?

Not confirmed yet. Supercell's November 2026 notes include Triple the Tricks in the Thunder Frogs' kit, but they do not list it among the season's new Hypercharges or say when it unlocks. It mainly strengthens Frogzilla, and we will update this answer as soon as the frogs go live in the game.

Which Brawlers Come After Thunder Frogs?

Rey and Ruby are next, both Mythic and scheduled for December during Brawlidays, when players can pick one of the two for free. Rey is a Marksman who marks enemies for heavier hits, while Ruby is a Damage Dealer who grounds enemies with her Super. The pair can also heal each other in battle.

Will Thunder Frogs Get Balance Changes After Release?

It is likely. Supercell regularly tunes new brawlers once real match data comes in, and competitive players have already flagged Frogzilla and Leech Landing as potentially strong. Stats and values in this guide may change, and we will update the article after the first balance pass goes live.
