Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets currently give Amber two different ways to change a fight: Fire Starters and Dancing Flames. Amber summons an Oil Barrel that spills oil when destroyed. Amber creates three flames orbiting her for 5 seconds, with each hit dealing 945 damage.
The key with Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets in 2026 is using the live reworked descriptions rather than an old loadout page. September 16 reduced the Oil Barrel health from 1750 to 1300. No September 16 numerical change was listed for Dancing Flames. The Buffie effects are separate enhancements and do not replace what the Gadgets normally do.
All Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets
| Gadget | Base effect | Buffie effect |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Starters | Amber summons an Oil Barrel that spills oil when destroyed. | Its Buffie lets Amber deploy two barrels. |
| Dancing Flames | Amber creates three flames orbiting her for 5 seconds, with each hit dealing 945 damage. | Its Buffie coats Amber in flames, giving 20% movement speed and dealing 400 contact damage to enemies she touches. |
Those are the two current Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets. The table separates the normal Gadget from the Buffie because a player can own and use the Gadget before obtaining its Buffie.
Fire Starters explained
Amber summons an Oil Barrel that spills oil when destroyed. That makes Fire Starters useful when the situation calls for its specific form of movement, control, defense or pressure. Its Buffie lets Amber deploy two barrels. The extra Buffie effect is valuable, but the normal Gadget still has to be timed correctly for the enhancement to matter.
September 16 reduced the Oil Barrel health from 1750 to 1300. For Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets, that means there is no newer maintenance number to substitute unless Supercell publishes another change later.
Dancing Flames explained
Amber creates three flames orbiting her for 5 seconds, with each hit dealing 945 damage. Its Buffie coats Amber in flames, giving 20% movement speed and dealing 400 contact damage to enemies she touches. The second Gadget attacks a different problem from Fire Starters, which is why the choice should be based on the map, enemy pressure and the job Amber needs to perform rather than on one Gadget being universally correct.
No September 16 numerical change was listed for Dancing Flames. This is the current maintenance information to use when comparing Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets with older footage.
How the Buffies change both Gadgets
Each Gadget can have an attached Buffie. For Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets, the Buffie is not a third Gadget and it does not create a separate activation button. It adds an effect to the Gadget you already chose. That distinction matters because the normal cooldown and activation rules still control when the enhanced effect can happen.
Its Buffie lets Amber deploy two barrels. By contrast, Its Buffie coats Amber in flames, giving 20% movement speed and dealing 400 contact damage to enemies she touches. Those additions push the two choices further apart and make the loadout decision more meaningful.
Which Gadget fits Amber’s role?
Amber is a controller who turns oil, fire and sustained pressure into areas that are awkward for enemies to cross. One of the Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets usually helps with the moment when that game plan starts, while the other supports a different part of the same role. Look at what repeatedly stops you in the match: reaching the enemy, surviving a burst, creating space, maintaining resources or converting a Super.
That approach is more useful than choosing from an old tier list. Gadget value changes heavily with mode, map and matchup, while the mechanical descriptions above stay useful regardless of which option is currently popular.
Current 2026 balance notes
The August update introduced or reworked these effects, then September 16 adjusted selected values. For Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets, use the newest maintenance entry whenever it modifies the same Gadget. September 16 reduced the Oil Barrel health from 1750 to 1300. No September 16 numerical change was listed for Dancing Flames.
This avoids a common problem with search results where the correct Gadget name is paired with an obsolete cooldown, health value, radius or secondary effect.
Quick answer
Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets are Fire Starters and Dancing Flames. Fire Starters: Amber summons an Oil Barrel that spills oil when destroyed. Dancing Flames: Amber creates three flames orbiting her for 5 seconds, with each hit dealing 945 damage. Their Buffies add extra effects on top, and the September 16 notes above are the current values where Supercell made a later adjustment.
Use the separate Buffie pages for the enhancements, but use this Brawl Stars Amber Gadgets guide when you need the two Gadget options compared in one place.
