The brawler combines straightforward attacks and somewhat tricky mechanics of buffing damage and movespeed. Trunk unleashes their true potential only after spreading ants around the Brawl Stars maps.

Trunk has a very unusual background in Brawl Stars. In fact, it’s a mechanical tree created by a bunch of very clever ants. They are up to revenge, and all other characters in Brawl Stars will feel the might of Trunk’s attacks!

Guide: How to play Trunk in Brawl Stars

The main moveset of Trunk is rather simple, as you don’t need to aim properly for Basic and Super damage. Still, you should set the ground for your success with Trunk. While using the primary attacks, you spread ants across the map. When the brawler is near these little helpers, Trunk gets increased movespeed and higher damage.

Brawl Stars modes for Trunk

Trunk is somewhat slow without the ant support and may struggle from insufficient damage. Therefore, it is crucial for them to battle within the prepared setting.

Trunk joins Brawl Stars with a slight delay, as we expected them to be added to the game sooner, right after Ali the Alligator. The developers from Supercell have abandoned the idea of Early Access, so Trunk is the last character available via this program. Perhaps it means changes in the schedule of releasing new brawlers.
