If you’ve ever queued for a Brawl Stars match and spotted an opponent with a slick, rare title under their name that makes you stop and stare, you’ve probably wondered how to get one of your own. A great title doesn’t just look cool – it tells other players exactly what you’re good at, how long you’ve been playing, or even what silly in-game achievement you’re most proud of. If you’re not sure how to equip title in Brawl Stars, or you’re stuck using the default generic tag you got when you first signed up, this guide breaks down every step you need to follow, plus tips to unlock far more interesting options than the basic starter set. You don’t have to spend real money to get a great title, either – most of the best ones are earned through regular gameplay, if you know what goals to hit.
How to Equip Title in Brawl Stars in 3 Simple Steps
I’ve had friends who played for 6 months and never found the title menu, so don’t feel silly if you missed it too – it’s tucked away in a menu most players don’t check regularly. First, you need to navigate to your player profile, which you can access by tapping your player icon in the top left corner of the main home screen. From there, the process is straightforward:
- Tap the edit profile button right below your player name and current trophy count. It’s the small pencil icon, so it’s easy to gloss over if you’re not looking for it.
- Scroll down until you see the titles section, which lists all the titles you’ve already unlocked, sorted by rarity if you have enough of them.
- Tap the title you want to use, then hit save – it’ll show up under your name in every match, lobby, and friend request you send immediately.
That’s all there is to the basic process. But if you only have 2 or 3 basic titles to pick from right now, you’re probably not going to be happy with your options. The good news is there are dozens of free titles you can unlock in just a few hours of targeted play, if you know where to look.
Best Free Titles You Can Unlock in Less Than a Week
You don’t have to grind for months to get a title that stands out. I unlocked my first rare title 3 days after I started playing, just by focusing on a few simple daily tasks instead of jumping randomly between game modes. If you’re short on time and want a better title fast, these are the easiest options to target first.
First up is the “Brawler Master” title line, which you get for maxing out individual brawlers. If you have a favorite brawler you already play every match, just focus on upgrading them to power 11, and you’ll get a title specific to that character automatically. For example, maxing out Colt gives you the “Sharpshooter” title, while maxing out El Primo gives you the “Wrestling Legend” tag. These are great because they immediately tell other players what brawler you’re most skilled with, which is extra helpful in team modes where people want to know your strengths before the match starts.
Another easy one is the “Event Champion” title, which you get for finishing in the top 10% of any weekly community event. These events rotate every 7 days, so if you’re good at Showdown, Brawl Ball, or any other specific mode, you can grind that mode for a few days during the event window and easily hit the top 10% threshold. These titles are temporary, but they refresh every week, so you can always have a new one to show off if you want.
Don’t sleep on the seasonal event titles either. Every new Brawl Pass season adds 3 to 5 free titles you can get just by leveling up the free track of the pass. You don’t need to buy the premium pass to unlock them, either – just complete daily and weekly quests to earn pass XP, and you’ll unlock at least 2 new titles per season without extra effort. Most of these are limited edition, so they’ll look extra cool to other players who didn’t play during that specific season.
How to Pick a Title That Fits Your Playstyle
Picking the right title is just as important as unlocking it, because it’s the first thing other players see when you join a lobby. I’ve seen people pick super intimidating titles that make opponents target them first in Showdown, which is the exact opposite of what you want if you main a squishy, low-health brawler that relies on stealth. A little thought before you save your title can go a long way.
First, think about what you want other players to know about you. If you’re a team player who mains support brawlers in competitive modes, a title like “Team Player” (unlocked for winning 100 3v3 matches with random teammates) will make other players more likely to pick team-friendly brawlers to match your playstyle. If you’re a casual player who only logs on to play silly event modes, a funny title like “Prankster” (unlocked for hitting 100 opponents with El Primo’s super across all matches) will set the tone for friendly, low-stakes games.
But if you play competitive ranked modes, you might want to pick a title that shows off your skill level. Titles like “Rank 30 Pro” (unlocked for getting any brawler to rank 30) or “Masters League” (unlocked for hitting the Masters rank in competitive play) will make your teammates trust you more, and might even make weaker opponents forfeit early if they’re intimidated. That said, don’t pick a title that exaggerates your skills. If you pick the “Rank 30 Pro” title but you only have one brawler at rank 20, other players will call you out on it, and you’ll look silly if you play badly in the match. It’s always better to pick a title that’s honest, even if it’s less flashy.
Common Title Mistakes to Avoid
Even if you know how to equip title in Brawl Stars and have a ton of great options to pick from, there are a few common mistakes that can make your title do more harm than good. I’ve made all of these mistakes at some point, so I can tell you first hand what to skip to save yourself frustration later.
First, don’t try to use glitches or hacks to get unapproved titles. Supercell has a strict filter for titles, and if you pick one that violates the community guidelines, you can get a temporary ban from using custom titles entirely, or even a full account suspension if you repeat the offense. All titles available through the official menu are pre-vetted by Supercell, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally picking an offensive one, but messing with third-party tools to get custom titles is never worth the risk.
Second, don’t switch your title every single day if you play with the same group of friends regularly. It sounds silly, but if your friends are used to seeing you with a specific title, they might not recognize you if you switch it up constantly, and might even decline your queue invite if they think you’re a random stranger. I learned this the hard way when I switched to a new limited edition title and my best friend refused to queue with me for 10 minutes because he thought I was a random troll.
Third, don’t waste real money trying to buy rare titles. Most of the “limited edition” titles that are sold in the in-game shop for gems are just reskinned versions of titles you can unlock for free through gameplay. The only titles worth spending money on are the ones that come with charity event packs, where part of the proceeds go to a good cause – otherwise, save your gems for brawler upgrades or skins instead. You also don’t need to grind for 10 hours a day to get the rarest titles. The “10,000 Trophies” title is cool, but it’s not worth burning out over the game just to get a line of text under your name.
At the end of the day, titles are just a fun way to customize your profile and show off your personality in Brawl Stars. You don’t need the rarest or most expensive title to have fun, but knowing how to equip title in Brawl Stars and pick one that fits you will make your gameplay experience feel a lot more personal. Take 10 minutes today to check what titles you already have unlocked, and try grinding for one of the easy free options we mentioned earlier if you don’t have any that fit your style. You might be surprised how much a small line of text under your name can change how other players interact with you in matches.
