Have you ever wanted to try out a risky new brawler build without ruining your main account’s trophy count? Or play casual matches with your little siblings who are just learning the game, without getting matched against top-tier opponents? Learning how to make a second Brawl Stars account solves all these problems, and it’s way simpler than most players think. I’ve made three alt accounts over the past two years to test new character releases and play with friends who are new to the game, and I’ve never run into bans or lost progress on my main account. This guide will walk you through every safe, official method, plus common mistakes to avoid so you don’t waste time troubleshooting later.
Common Reasons to Create a Second Brawl Stars Account
You might be wondering if it’s worth the effort to set up a whole new account, especially if you’ve spent months leveling up your main brawlers and collecting skins. But the truth is, most long-term players get huge value from having a second account, no matter your skill level. I first made my first alt when my 10-year-old cousin asked to play with me, and I didn’t want to lose my 32k trophy rank getting matched against players he couldn’t beat. That first alt turned into two more, and now I use them for all kinds of purposes I don’t want to do on my main. Some of the most common reasons players make second accounts include:
- Test high-risk playstyles and new brawlers: Try out off-meta builds or unleveled brawlers in competitive matches without tanking your main account’s 30k+ trophy count. You can even experiment with troll team compositions that would get you flamed in competitive lobbies on your main, no judgment needed.
- Play with friends of all skill levels: If your main account is in the Master rank range, you can’t queue with new friends who are still in Bronze/Silver without getting matched against opponents way out of their league. An alt lets you play at their skill level and have fun without anyone feeling left out.
- Grind limited-time event rewards separately: Some events require hours of grinding for minor rewards you don’t want to waste your main account’s playtime on, but you can earn them on your alt to use for fun later. I once spent 3 hours grinding a seasonal event on my alt last month to get a rare spray I didn’t want to spend time on with my main.
- Join multiple clubs at once: You can only be part of one club per account, so an alt lets you join a competitive club for serious tournaments and a casual club for playing with friends at the same time. It’s perfect if you want to compete in high-stakes club wars but still mess around with your casual friend group too.
You don’t need a big reason to make a second account either. Lots of players make one just to try out different usernames or collect skins they missed on their main account, and that’s totally valid.
Step-by-Step: How to Make a Second Brawl Stars Account Safely
The best part about setting up a second account is that you don’t need any extra devices or third-party tools to do it. All you need is a separate email address that isn’t linked to your main Supercell ID or Google Play/Apple ID account. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes if you have that email ready to go. First, open your Brawl Stars app on your current device. Tap the three-line menu in the top right corner, then select “Settings”. Look for the Supercell ID option under the “Account” section. If you’re already logged into your main account via Supercell ID, tap “Log Out” first. Don’t worry, this won’t delete any of your main account progress as long as you’ve saved it to a valid email address. Once you’re logged out, a pop-up will appear asking if you want to play with Supercell ID. Select the “Create Account” option. Enter a separate email address that isn’t linked to your main Supercell ID. Make sure you have access to this email, because you’ll need to verify it with a 6-digit code sent to your inbox. Follow the prompts to set up your new account, including choosing a player name and completing the short 5-minute tutorial. Once you’re done, you can switch between your main and second account anytime by logging out and logging back in with the respective Supercell ID for each account. If you play on Android and prefer to use Google Play instead of Supercell ID, you can add a separate Google account to your device first, then select that account when opening Brawl Stars after logging out of your main. The process for iOS with Apple ID works the same way. Just make sure you don’t merge the two accounts by mistake. You never need to download third-party mod apps or account generators to make a second account. Those tools are almost always loaded with malware, and Supercell will permanently ban both your main and second account if they detect you using them. Stick to the official methods I listed above, and you won’t run into any issues.
Common Mistakes to Avoid With Your Second Brawl Stars Account
I’ve made almost every mistake you can make when setting up alt accounts, so I can tell you exactly what not to do to save yourself time and frustration. The most common mistake new players make is forgetting to verify the email linked to their second account. If you skip that step, you’ll lose all your progress on the second account if you lose your device or accidentally delete the app. Take 30 seconds to click the verification link in your email, it’s worth it. Another common mistake is trying to use the same email address for both your main and second account. Supercell doesn’t allow multiple accounts linked to the same email, so you’ll get an error message when you try to sign up. I recommend using a free secondary email from Gmail or Outlook, they take 2 minutes to set up. Any rule breaking on either of your accounts can lead to penalties across all accounts linked to your device or payment info. That means if you use your second account to cheat, exploit bugs, or harass other players, Supercell can ban your main account too, even if you never broke rules on it. Play fair on both accounts, no exceptions. You also don’t want to switch between your main and second account too many times in a short period. Supercell’s anti-cheat system might flag you for suspicious activity if you swap accounts every 5 minutes for hours on end. I recommend limiting switches to no more than 3 times an hour, and you’ll be totally fine. Some players also try to sell their second accounts for real money, which is against Supercell’s terms of service. If you get caught doing that, both your main and second account will be banned permanently, and you’ll lose all the money you spent on skins and gems on both accounts.
Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Second Brawl Stars Account
Once you’ve set up your second account, there are tons of ways to use it to make your overall Brawl Stars experience better. First, prioritize leveling up brawlers you don’t use on your main account. I main tank brawlers on my main, so I leveled up all the ranged brawlers on my alt, and now I can practice playing all types of characters way better than I used to. If you’re a competitive player, use your second account to practice new map strategies or brawler builds for upcoming tournaments. Opponents won’t recognize your username, so they won’t know what playstyle to expect from you when you switch back to your main account for the actual tournament. I did this for a local club tournament last quarter, and I won first place because no one expected the off-meta build I practiced on my alt. You can also use your second account to make Brawl Stars content if you want to post clips or stream without revealing your main account’s rank or playstyle. Lots of top players do this to avoid getting targeted by other competitive players in ranked lobbies. You can even use your second account to take advantage of new player welcome offers that give discounted gems and starter packs, which are way cheaper than the regular offers for existing accounts. I got a $0.99 starter pack on my last alt that came with 170 gems, which is a way better deal than the regular $4.99 gem pack in the store for existing players. If you travel a lot, you can also set your second account to a different region to test out new updates or events that roll out to other regions before they hit yours. Just make sure you don’t use a VPN to do this, because that can get your account banned. If you’re actually in the region, you’re totally fine.
At the end of the day, learning how to make a second Brawl Stars account is a low-effort way to get more fun out of the game without risking anything you’ve built on your main. As long as you follow the official methods I laid out here, avoid common mistakes, and play fair on both accounts, you’ll have a great time exploring new playstyles and connecting with more players. Whether you’re a casual player who wants to mess around with friends or a competitive player looking to practice new strategies, an alt account is one of the best tools you can add to your Brawl Stars toolkit. You might even find you have more fun playing on your second account than your main, like I do sometimes.
