If you’ve ever hesitated to test a weird new brawler build or push a low-rank mode because you don’t want to tank your main account’s win rate, you’re not alone. Thousands of Brawl Stars players use secondary accounts to mess around, practice, and unlock extra rewards without risking the progress they’ve spent months building. This guide will walk you through exactly how to make an alt account on Brawl Stars, plus share safety tips to avoid getting banned and smart ways to use your new account to get better at the game faster. I’ve set up three different alt accounts over the past four years, so I know exactly what works and what mistakes to avoid to keep all your profiles in good standing.
How to Make an Alt Account on Brawl Stars: Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The process is the same for both iOS and Android devices, and you don’t need a separate phone to run your alt. The only thing you’ll need is a second email address that you have access to, to link to your new Supercell ID. Always use a valid, accessible email for your new alt account so you can recover it if you get logged out or forget your password.
First, open Brawl Stars on your device, tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner, and select “Settings”. Find the Supercell ID option, tap “Log Out”, and confirm that you want to sign out of your current account. Once you’re back on the game’s home screen, select the option to sign up for a new Supercell ID, enter your second email address, and follow the verification link sent to your inbox.
When you make an alt account on Brawl Stars, never use temporary or throwaway email addresses. If you lose access to the email linked to your alt, you won’t be able to recover the account if you get logged out, and Supercell support won’t be able to help you regain access. The whole setup process takes less than two minutes, and you can swap between your main and alt account whenever you want by logging out and back in through the settings menu.
Key Reasons to Use a Brawl Stars Alt Account
A lot of new players assume alt accounts are only for pro players, but they’re useful for casual players too. You don’t have to be pushing for top 100 global ranks to get value out of a second profile. I use my main alt to test out new brawlers before I invest coins and power points into them on my main account, and it’s saved me from wasting hundreds of coins on brawlers I don’t actually enjoy playing.
Some of the most popular reasons players set up alt accounts include:
- Practice unranked brawlers and experimental builds before using them on your main account, so you don’t hurt your overall win rate or trophy count
- Play with friends who are new to the game without matching against high-skill opponents that will ruin their first few weeks of play
- Earn duplicate event rewards, like coins, power points, and Starr Drops, to save for future brawler unlocks or send skin gifts to your main account
- Climb the rank ladder from scratch to test out new playstyles without pressure to maintain your main’s hard-earned trophy count
Many players use alt accounts to complete seasonal challenge requirements faster by knocking out easy tasks like “win 3 matches with a tank brawler” on their secondary profile first. The only downside to keep in mind is that you can’t transfer resources directly between accounts, so any coins or power points you earn on your alt will stay on that profile unless you use them to buy gifts for your main.
Critical Safety Rules to Avoid Bans on Your Alt Account
Supercell allows players to have multiple accounts, as long as you follow their terms of service and play fairly on all your profiles. I’ve seen dozens of players get both their main and alt accounts banned for cutting corners, so it’s worth taking a few extra steps to keep all your accounts safe.
Never use modded APKs or third-party account switching tools to access your alt. A lot of players download cheap apps that let you swap between accounts in one tap, but these apps almost always contain malware or violate Supercell’s terms of service, leading to permanent bans on all accounts linked to your device. The official Supercell ID switching process only takes a few extra seconds, and it’s 100% safe.
One of the biggest mistakes players make after they make an alt account on Brawl Stars is using it to grief matches or exploit matchmaking. Deliberately losing games to get matched against newer, lower-skill players is a bannable offense, and if Supercell detects that you’re throwing matches on your alt, they may ban both your alt and main account. Don’t use your alt to exploit matchmaking, even if you think it’s a quick way to farm easy rewards.
You also shouldn’t share your alt account with other people, even friends. If someone else plays on your account and breaks the rules, you’ll be held responsible for any bans or penalties that are applied to the profile. It’s fine to let a friend play on your account in person if they’re with you, but never give out your password or Supercell ID login details to anyone else.
Smart Ways to Progress Your Alt Account Fast
You don’t have to spend hours every day on your alt to make it useful. Even 10 minutes a day of completing daily tasks will help you unlock new brawlers and level up your profile in no time. I only log into my alts 3 or 4 times a week, and all of them have at least 20 unlocked brawlers after a few months of casual play.
Prioritize completing daily and seasonal events first to get as many coins and power points as possible in the first few weeks of playing on your alt. Daily events give you double rewards for your first win of the day, so even winning one match per day will give you enough resources to level up your core brawlers quickly.
Join the same club as your main account to get extra club rewards and ask your clubmates to help you push lower ranks. Most club members are happy to team up with alt accounts for low-rank matches, since it’s an easy way to get quick wins and earn extra club points. You can also use your alt to help your club complete club league tasks if your main account has already used up all its league matches for the week.
You don’t need to spend money on your alt to progress fast. The game gives out enough free rewards through daily logins, events, and Starr Drops that you can unlock all common and rare brawlers within a month of casual play, no purchases required. If you do want to spend a little money, the cheapest brawl pass is more than enough to get you hundreds of extra coins and power points to level up your profile even faster.
At the end of the day, making an alt account on Brawl Stars is a low-effort way to get more fun out of the game without risking the progress you’ve worked hard for on your main profile. Whether you want to practice new builds, play with newer friends, or just mess around without worrying about your win rate, following the steps and safety rules in this guide will help you set up your account safely and start playing in minutes. Just remember to play fair, stick to official Supercell tools for account switching, and don’t forget to log back into your main account to claim your daily rewards every once in a while.
