Experience points (XP) are essential for players in Brawl Stars to get Brawl Pass rewards and progress in the game. Many players focus on quests to get a lot of XP. You can get it now without quests by planning and focusing on the right strategies; you can make progress on XP even when there are no quests. All the other strategies that you can legally use to get XP without quests, and how to optimize those strategies, are detailed below.
Learn the Structure of the XP System.
The first thing that you need to do before formulating a strategy is to learn how the XP structure works in Brawl Stars. The XP System in Brawl Stars has caps, regeneration, and multipliers of various sorts that determine how much XP you can earn in a certain period of time.
- XP bank and cap: You maintain an XP counter or “bank” that fills over time (20 XP every 2 hours and 24 minutes, up to a maximum of 200 XP without the Brawl Pass). With an active Brawl Pass, your fill rate doubles, and the cap increases to 400 XP.
- Daily XP limit: Matches can only yield a limited amount of XP per day (commonly around 1000 XP), beyond which you’ll get a “All experience collected for today” message and no more XP from playing.
- Match XP yields: Playing in any mode yields base XP based on match outcome, performance, and whether you are a Star Player.
- Other sources besides quests: Tapping new event slots (5 XP), voting on map candidates (10 XP per vote, up to 3 votes), and daily free event taps are small but consistent boosts.
Given that, here are the ways to accumulate XP even when quests are off the table.
1. Play Matches Consistently
The most straightforward method is to play matches across any event mode: 3v3, Showdown, Duo Showdown, etc. Each match grants base XP, adjusted by win/lose/draw and your performance (like whether you were a Star Player).
To make this more efficient:
- Choose modes you’re strong at so you win more often (wins yield more XP for your efforts).
- Focus on matches that finish quickly (e.g., Showdown, quick 3v3 modes) so you can play more within your daily limit.
- Try to be the “Star Player” when possible – that bonus XP can push you slightly above your match base.
Even without quests, match-based XP is your workhorse.
2. Use the Event Slot Tap & Map Voting

These are small but no-effort sources of XP that you should never skip:
- Tap new event slots: Whenever a new event rotates in, you can tap the event’s slot to claim 5 XP.
- Vote for map candidates: You get 10 XP per vote up to three votes each day. That’s 30 XP daily with minimal effort.
These add up over time, especially in seasons when the Brawl Pass requires substantial XP. So don’t skip them, click and vote daily to squeeze every bit.
3. Team Up & Use XP Doublers
Teaming up with other players in the same game room doubles the XP earned from matches. That’s a massive boost if your teammates are reliable; two coordinated players can push more wins and thus more XP. Pair that with XP Doublers, which double your next 1,000 XP gains from matches.
XP Doublers have these properties:
- They only affect match-based XP, not XP from quests or the event tap/voting sources.
- You can acquire them via daily freebies, trophies, Starr Drops, or occasionally the shop.
- If used at optimal times (when you expect to play many matches), they can substantially bump your XP earnings.
So coordinate team matches and activate your doubler during a heavy play session – this multiplies returns.
4. Leverage Brawl Pass / Premium Effects

If you purchase or activate the Brawl Pass, you’ll gain buffs to your XP generation: the refill rate doubles (to 40 XP per 2h24m), and the XP cap increases to 400 rather than 200. This means you can stockpile more XP and have more room to turn matches into progression.
If you buy the Plus version of the pass, there may be additional XP multipliers or bonuses (depending on the season).
Even without relying on quests, a Brawl Pass essentially enhances your match-driven XP engine.
5. Consistency and Daily Routines
Because of regeneration caps and daily XP limits, your best long-term strategy is consistency:
- Log in and tap new event slots daily.
- Vote for map candidates daily.
- Make a habit of playing matches in 2-3 sessions rather than binge and burn – that helps you not hit your XP cap too early.
- Use XP Doubler and team play aggressively when you can.
Small daily gains accumulate over a season and can let you progress several tiers, even skipping many quests.
6. Consider Indirect or Alternative Services

Some players explore external services or techniques, though these come with risks, ethical and otherwise:
- Account boosting / matches with experienced players: Some users pay or collaborate with strong players who help them win consistently, thus enabling higher-efficiency XP gain.
- Brawl Stars Accounts Boost services promise to take over or assist your account in gaining XP or rewards more quickly. Always research such services thoroughly and ensure they don’t break game rules.
- Using shared accounts, gift codes, or alternative accounts can sometimes help “carry over” advantages.
If you opt for external boosts, make sure they are legitimate and do not compromise your account security. Emphasizing normal in-game methods is safest.
7. Sample XP Without Quests Strategy (Week Plan)
Here’s a sample weekly plan to maximize XP without relying on quests:
| Day | Actions |
| Day 1 | Tap new event, vote maps, play ~8–10 matches with team + doubler |
| Day 2 | Repeat taps/votes; play quick modes (Showdown, Gem Grab) |
| Day 3 | Use doubler again; team matches in high-win modes |
| Day 4 | Rest taps/vote; match play |
| Day 5 | Max out your XP bank (cap 200 or 400) with matches |
| Day 6 | Use any leftover XP doubler; team matches |
| Day 7 | Evaluate how many tiers you climbed; repeat next week |
Over 4–6 weeks of this, you might climb many Brawl Pass tiers without ever touching a quest you don’t like.
8. Common Pitfalls & Tips
- Don’t waste XP Doublers: Use them when you’ll play many matches in a row.
- Mind the daily XP limit: Once you hit your “All experience collected” threshold, your matches won’t yield XP. Pace your play across the day.
- Avoid mismatched team partners: Joining random teams with weaker players may lead to losses, which yield less XP and hurt your doubler’s return.
- Don’t forget small sources: That 5 XP tap and 30 XP from map voting are free – missing them is leaving money (XP) on the table.
- Stay aware of updates: Supercell may change XP regeneration, caps, doubler usage, etc. Always check patch notes for potential shifts.
Final Thoughts
If you consistently follow the above methods: matchmaking, team coordination, strategic use of XP doublers, tapping on event slots, and voting daily, you can accumulate a great deal of XP in a given period without the use of quests. Maintain that daily attention and avoid letting your XP bank or daily cap go idle.
