# Brawl Stars Season 53 Windstock: Wendy, a Mythic Support, and Fusions Replacing NanoPowers
> Season 53 Windstock (August 6 to September 3): Wendy, a Mythic Support with a shield generator, Smoothie Drops, Fusions in place of NanoPowers and a Byron and Rosa Brawl Pass.
Brawl Stars opens Season 53, Windstock, on August 6, 2026, for four weeks. It concludes the story arc started with [Season 52](https://after-strategy.com/en/brawl-stars-season-52-ramen-rebellion-nori-2026/) and brings Wendy, a Mythic Support brawler, along with Fusions, which take the place of NanoPowers.
> **Update, October 26, 2026:** Wendy has been weakened since. On September 1, her Super's generator went from 3,500 to 2,500 health and from 75% to 60% damage reduction. On September 16, the shield from her attack dropped from 580 to 300. Sources: [August release notes](https://supercell.com/en/games/brawlstars/blog/release-notes/release-notes-august-2026/), [Brawl Planet](https://www.brawlplanet.com/balance-changes/2026-09-01) and [Brawlscope](https://brawlscope.com/patches/2026-09-16).
## Windstock: dates and how it works
The season runs from August 6 to September 3, 2026, according to BrawlMetrics and TopUpList. Together with Season 52 it forms a single story in two parts: the first was built around NanoDrops, the second around **Smoothie Drops**, earned through daily wins, Mega Quests or side quests.
Each Smoothie Drop offers three picks out of five cups, and each cup holds zero to three Gulps, which are the rewards. A Drop therefore pays at least 1 and at most 9 Gulps, and it also fills the Smoothie Meter.
## Wendy: a Mythic Support who soaks up damage for the team
Wendy is a Mythic Support brawler. Her Super, Planet Protector, deploys a shield generator that absorbs **75% of the damage** taken by her and her teammates inside its range. When her attack hits a teammate, she gives them a **2,000-point** shield.
Her two gadgets are Wind-Powered, a short jump, and Green Grenade, a grenade that slows enemies it hits and briefly stops their healing. As for Star Powers, Slowing Shield slows enemies inside the generator and Solar Shield adds **2,000 health** to it.
In practice, she is only worth picking when there are allies to protect: the generator does nothing if the team spreads out.
## How to get her for free
According to BrawlMetrics and SportsDunia, two wins during Wendy's event give one **Wendy Box**, and opening **14 boxes** unlocks her without spending gems. Free tickets are handed out every day during the event, but they do not carry over. Boxes can also be bought with gems. If you miss the event, Wendy moves to the Starr Road and is unlocked with Credits.
## Fusions: a random draw that replaces the NanoPower
Fusions are unlocked through Smoothie Drops. There are **106** of them, spread over four rarities: Baseline, Augmented, Cybernetic and Quantum. Each Fusion gives a brawler three powers. At the start of a match with the Fusion modifier, **two of those three powers fuse at random** and the brawler benefits from both for the whole game.
When you gain a Fusion, it replaces the brawler's NanoPower: according to Supercell, they are stronger variants of NanoPowers. So you no longer pick between two options as in Season 52. What really changes for players: you no longer prepare your power, you adapt to whatever the draw gives you.
## Brawl Pass: Byron and Rosa
The Windstock Brawl Pass offers two collections of Epic skins, with the **Wind-Powered** player title:
- **Byron:** Biotech Byron, Unearthed Byron and Leaf Master Byron (chroma variants).
- **Rosa:** Retrofuture Rosa, Renewables Rosa and Sci-Fi Rosa (chroma variants).
