Brawl Stars Vince Guide: Unlock Method, Moth Mechanic, and Combos

Vince is a Mythic Damage Dealer whose strength comes from resource management, not his basic attack alone.

Caterpillars periodically appear around him. Collecting them creates Moths, and those Moths make Vince’s Super more threatening. The goal is not to chase every resource. Hold your position, build Moths safely, then turn a Super mark into meaningful damage.

How to Unlock Vince?

Vince is currently available through the Vince Box event.

During the event, complete the related matches to earn Vince Boxes and progress toward unlocking him. Vince can also be used in selected event matches before you permanently unlock him.

After the event ends, Vince will enter the normal Mythic Brawler unlock pool. Check the live Vince event page in-game for the remaining time, current box count, and guarantee progress.

Vince’s Core Mechanic: Caterpillars Become Moths

Caterpillars appear near Vince. You can collect them in two ways:

  • Walk over a Caterpillar.
  • Hit it with Espresso Shot.

A collected Caterpillar becomes a Moth in Vince’s collection. Moths are not cosmetic. They strengthen his Super, Barista Barrage, and increase his threat during important fights.

Stage What to Do
Caterpillar appears Decide whether it is safe to collect
Collect Caterpillar Turn it into a Moth
Build Moths Keep a useful resource reserve without losing position
Use Super Mark an important target and create a burst window

Do not abandon a safe lane or walk into enemy range for one Caterpillar. Resources matter, but staying alive and holding position matters more.

How Vince’s Super Creates Damage?

Vince’s main attack, Espresso Shot, deals direct damage.

His real burst comes from Barista Barrage:

  1. Hit a target with Super: It applies Vince’s Caterpillar mark.
  2. Follow with main attacks: Vince deals bonus damage to the marked enemy.
  3. Use Moths for more pressure: A stronger Moth collection makes the Super more valuable.

Do not use Super as soon as it is charged. Save it for a target you can keep shooting after the mark lands.

A Simple Vince Combo for New Players

  1. Collect safely: Take nearby Caterpillars without giving up a good position.
  2. Chip the target first: Use Espresso Shot to lower health or force movement.
  3. Use Super from a clean angle: Mark an enemy you can realistically continue attacking.
  4. Follow immediately: Save enough ammo before using Super so you can benefit from the mark.
  5. Avoid unnecessary deaths: Vince loses part of his Moth collection when defeated. When you have many Moths, survival can matter more than one extra shot.

Which Gadget and Star Power Should You Use?

Vince’s build depends on the map, match pace, and how safely you can control Caterpillar spawns.

Ability Use Best For
Hot Coffee Gadget Throws explosive coffee for area damage Fast extra damage or punishing grouped enemies
Metamothosis Gadget Converts nearby Caterpillars into Moths and grants extra Moths based on collected Caterpillars Faster Moth building when enough Caterpillars are nearby
Come to Papa Star Power Nearby Caterpillars crawl toward Vince Safer resource collection and easier positioning
Bug Bandage Star Power Collecting a Caterpillar provides healing Holding position and preserving your Moth collection

Come to Papa is the easier Star Power for new Vince players. It reduces the need to step into dangerous space for Caterpillars.

Metamothosis has strong synergy with Vince’s resource loop, but works best when you control an area with enough Caterpillars nearby.

Three Vince Mistakes That Waste His Kit

  • Chasing every Caterpillar: Do not lose lane control, cross open ground, or enter enemy range for one resource.
  • Using Super without follow-up ammo: The mark needs main attacks afterward. Without them, much of the Super’s value is lost.
  • Forcing fights with many Moths: Unnecessary deaths can throw away the resource advantage you spent time building.

Is Vince Worth Unlocking?

Vince is a good choice if you enjoy Damage Dealers who reward setup and target selection, not only aim.

His key decisions are simple:

  • Which Caterpillars are safe to collect?
  • When is your Moth collection worth protecting?
  • Which enemy should receive your Super mark?
  • Can you follow the mark with enough accurate shots?

While the Vince Box event remains active, use it to test his gameplay and track your unlock progress. Once the Caterpillar-to-Moth loop makes sense, Vince becomes much easier to play: collect safely, mark the right target, and convert that mark into damage.
