How to Swap Brawl Stars Accounts: A Comprehensive Guide

Brawl Stars, the fast-paced multiplayer battle arena game from Supercell, has captivated millions of players worldwide. Many dedicated brawlers, over time, find themselves with multiple accounts, perhaps one on an older device or a secondary account to experiment with different strategies or unlock specific Brawlers. While Supercell doesn’t officially endorse account swapping or selling, there are legitimate reasons why you might want to switch between your own accounts on the same device. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the steps involved in safely and effectively swapping Brawl Stars accounts, ensuring you understand the nuances and potential pitfalls.

Understanding the Basics: Supercell ID and Game Accounts

Before diving into the process, it’s crucial to understand the relationship between Supercell ID and your Brawl Stars game accounts. Here’s a breakdown:

• Brawl Stars Account: This is your individual game profile containing your trophies, Brawlers, progress, and other in-game data. Each account is essentially a separate instance within the Brawl Stars ecosystem.
• Supercell ID: This is Supercell’s own account system, similar to Google Play Games or Apple Game Center. It’s a unique email address-based account that allows you to save your game progress securely and access it across multiple devices. By linking your Brawl Stars account to a Supercell ID, you’re creating a backup that you can restore at any time.

The key to swapping accounts lies in linking your Brawl Stars accounts to *different* Supercell IDs. This allows you to easily switch between them by logging in and out of each respective Supercell ID within the game.

Essential Precautions Before Swapping Accounts

Before we get into the actual steps, it’s crucial to be aware of some important precautions:

• Never Share Your Account Details: Sharing your Supercell ID credentials with anyone is a recipe for disaster. Your account could be stolen, sold, or misused. Supercell’s terms of service strictly prohibit account sharing.
• Avoid Third-Party Sites and Apps: There are many websites and apps that claim to offer account swapping or management services. These are almost always scams and can lead to you losing your account or installing malware on your device. Always use the official in-game methods.
• Be Aware of Supercell’s Stance: Supercell explicitly discourages account sharing and trading. While switching between *your own* accounts on the same device is usually not a problem, if you’re trying to acquire someone else’s account, you risk losing both accounts, or even being permanently banned from the game.
• Back Up Your Accounts: Always ensure that every Brawl Stars account you plan on using is connected to a unique Supercell ID before you start switching accounts. If an account isn’t connected to Supercell ID, you might not be able to access it after switching accounts.

Detailed Steps to Swap Brawl Stars Accounts

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to swap Brawl Stars accounts:

Step 1: Linking Your Current Account to a Supercell ID (if not already done)

This is crucial, as it ensures your account is saved before making any changes. Follow these steps to link your current account:

1. Open Brawl Stars: Launch the game on your device.
2. Access Settings: Tap on the three horizontal lines located in the top-right corner of the screen to open the game menu. Then, select “Settings.”
3. Find Supercell ID: In the settings menu, you’ll see the Supercell ID section, generally located near the top. If it says “Connected,” it means you’re already linked. If it says “Disconnected,” tap the button.
4. Create a Supercell ID: If you’re not linked, you’ll be prompted to either “Log in” or “Register Now.” If you already have a Supercell ID, log in using your email and password. If not, click “Register Now” and follow the prompts. You will have to enter your email address, confirm it, and create a password for your Supercell ID. Remember to use a secure password and to have access to that email to get the verification codes required by the platform. Make sure that you note down the email address and the password safely, so that you can always log into it again in the future.
5. Verify Your Email: Supercell will send a verification code to the email you provided. Enter this code into the required field to complete the linking process.

Once complete, your current account will be safely saved under the Supercell ID. Repeat this process for all of the Brawl Stars accounts that you want to access.

Step 2: Switching to Another Account

Now that you have linked your other accounts to their own unique Supercell IDs, you can swap to these accounts in-game:

1. Open Brawl Stars: Launch the game on your device.
2. Access Settings: Again, tap the three horizontal lines located in the top-right corner of the screen to open the game menu and then select “Settings.”
3. Log Out of the Current Account: In the settings menu, tap the “Connected” button next to “Supercell ID”. This opens the Supercell ID menu. You will then see “Settings” and “Log Out”. Select “Log Out”. A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to log out of the account. Click “Confirm”.
4. Log in with a Different Supercell ID: The game will return to the initial screen where you will be asked to Log In with the Supercell ID again. Instead of logging in with the same account, click on the “Log In” button and enter the email and password associated with the Supercell ID that you wish to swap to. If the account has not been previously registered on the device, the game will download the account to your device.
5. Confirmation. Once you logged into the new account, it will display all of the progress associated with that account. If your account has not been properly connected to Supercell ID, the game will warn you to connect the account.

You are now playing on a different Brawl Stars account! To switch back to a different account, simply repeat these steps, logging out of the current account and then logging in with the Supercell ID associated with the desired account.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Switching accounts can sometimes present challenges. Here are some common issues and how to troubleshoot them:

• Lost Account: If you’re not able to access one of your accounts, make sure that the account was linked to the Supercell ID before you logged out. If the account was not linked, the account was lost and cannot be retrieved. Always double check that the account is linked to a Supercell ID before logging out. If the account was linked to a Supercell ID, verify that you are logging into the correct email and that you are entering the password correctly. Make sure that the Caps Lock is not activated and that you are correctly inserting all the special characters that the password may contain. If you have forgotten the password, there is usually a “Forgotten Password” functionality in the login process, where you can request to reset the password. Follow the steps in the system to reset your password.
• Email Verification Issues: If you’re having trouble receiving or verifying the code, double-check that the email address you are using is correct and that you have full access to it. Look into your spam folder in case the verification email is there. If the email is not there or you still have problems, try to restart the verification process, making sure that the email is typed correctly. You can also contact Supercell Support if the issue persists.
• Connection Problems: If you’re experiencing problems logging into your account or it’s taking too long, ensure that you have a stable internet connection and that your device can handle the game. Slow Wi-Fi or insufficient data can slow down or prevent the login process. A simple restart of your router or your device might solve the problem.
• Game Data Issues: If you have multiple devices and you are accessing the same account, and the data does not seem to sync, make sure that you are fully logged out of all other devices before logging into the current one. When you log into a device, the game downloads the data to that device. The new progress in that device will only be uploaded after a few minutes. If, during that time, you try to play in another device, the progress might not be synchronized, which can lead to conflicts and loss of progress.
• Account Bans: If you try to switch accounts too many times in a short period, or if Supercell thinks that there is suspicious activity associated with your account (such as you trading accounts), your account may receive a temporary ban, to prevent malicious activities. If you think this has happened to you by mistake, you can contact Supercell Support with detailed proof of what happened and they might help you regain access to the account.

Tips for Smooth Account Swapping

• Keep a Record of Your Supercell IDs: It’s helpful to keep a list of the Supercell IDs and the Brawl Stars account associated with each one, especially if you have multiple accounts. Consider saving these in a password manager for extra security.
• Clear the App Cache Periodically: Occasionally, clearing the game’s cache data can resolve minor glitches and improve loading times. You can typically do this in your device’s application settings.
• Be Patient: Switching accounts can sometimes take a few seconds, especially if the account has not previously been logged into the current device. Allow enough time for the game to load and to fully switch to the other account.
• Avoid Frequent Switching: Avoid constantly swapping accounts, as the game has to load all account data each time, which can take time. Only switch if necessary, so that you don’t disrupt the synchronization process and don’t risk a ban.

Conclusion

Swapping Brawl Stars accounts is a straightforward process if you follow the steps carefully and take the necessary precautions. By linking each account to a unique Supercell ID, you can easily switch between them on the same device. Remember to avoid third-party apps and never share your account credentials. This guide should equip you with the knowledge to manage multiple Brawl Stars accounts effectively and enjoy the game to its fullest. Always prioritize account security and play responsibly within the guidelines of Supercell’s terms of service.
