Version 14
Version 14 was released in softlaunched countries on the 5th of December, 2018, and was eventually made public in all territories on the 12th of December, 2018. Some notable differences can be Brawler remodels, more modern UI, map width changes and Leon, a new Legendary Brawler at that time.
New Brawler: Leon
Leon, being the third of the Legendary Brawler pipeline, was added as soon as the update released. While also sporting a sick chameleon hoodie, he was extremely annoying to play against until Version 15.
Mechanics
- Main attack: Shoots four projectiles with a light spread that deal less damage depending on how far they have traveled.
- Super: Self-invisibility for 10 seconds, until Leon attacks again or gets damaged. He can also be spotted while holding the Brawl Ball during invisibility, or briefly when picking up objects like Bounty stars, Power Cubes or Gems.

Brawlidays Environment
Since Version 14 started with the Brawlidays event, of course there was a limited-time environment exclusive to this version. The surroundings are covered with snow and spruce trees, igloos and footsteps can be seen on both sides of the team spawns and Brawlers walk on ice without sliding off of it. Literal black magic, I tell you!
This environment also had some exclusive in-game music, listed down below.

Snow_brawl_02.ogg
Snow_brawl_03.ogg
The environment's files, models and all, were removed from the game in the March 2020 update. No reasoning is currently known for this change, however it might have been done to reduce the game's filesize itself.
Brawler Remodels
| To do: Provide screenshots of Brawler remodels, or renders of them. |
Shelly's character icon and model were changed. In addition, her Bandita Skin has also seen some model changes.

Nita got remodeled, along with her Panda Nita retexture. Bruce got the same treatments as well.
Bull got remodeled, along with his Viking Bull Skin.
Barley got remodeled, along with his Golden Barley Skin.
Brock got a remodel and a change to his character icon (and in general, his character design). The same rules apply to his Beach Brock Skin.

Ditto for Mortis, Jessie and Penny. While Mortis received a new model for his Top Hat Mortis skin, it's reused for his base skin by removing the hat as an object in skin_confs.csv.

Penny was zoomed out, and details in her face were changed, such as her grin.
Map Changes
Maps have been changed to be rendered in real-time 3D, rather than being built from 2D sprites like all other Supercell games. This change in dimensions has also affected the map width to be changed by 4 tiles horizontally - 2 tiles on the left and the right. In addition, map previews have also been added, viewable by pressing the "i" button on the gamemode banner.
Modifier Changes
Life Leech got a few changes:
- Player based healing (e.g. Mama's Hug, Medical Use) got reduced by 75%.
- If a player dies from poison and Life Leech ticking at the same time, the opponent who poisoned the player will be fully healed.
A new modifier, Healing Mushrooms, was added. The modifier consists of randomly spawning mushrooms that heal players whenever they're in the radius.
