Battlerite Royale Patch 1.0.2 is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, March 27th at 8:00 UTC. Downtime is scheduled to last up to one hour.


Report Feedback Notification

A notification will now be displayed on login when action has been taken against a player that you have recently reported for misconduct! This notification will appear once when you log in if applicable, so y'all good fellas reporting naughty gremlins will not be spammed with notifications.

Bakko

Bulwark (Q) has been made consistent with other directional shield abilities in the game. You can use escape or mobility skills while Bulwark is active, but you will not be able to use regular abilities unless you cancel cast first.

• Bulwark (Q)
  
  • Using War Axe, Blood Axe, or War Shout no longer cancels your Bulwark automatically

• Dragon's Roar (E)
  
  • Movement speed while casting increased from 10% to 80%

Shifu

• Impale and Tendon Swing have received updated SFX
  
• Fleet Foot (Space)
  
  • Damage reduction increased from 30% to 50%
• Kunju (Q)
  
  • Tooltip text for Readiness (buff) has been improved for accuracy, since the Readiness Spear Slash damage scales solely with Kunju's rarity and not with Spear Slash's
    
    • Old: "Your next Spear Slash has increased range and deals 8 bonus damage"
      
    • New: "Your next Spear Slash has increased range and deals 18 damage"
  • Legendary Bonus text now refers to countering an attack with Kunju specifically

Taya

• X-Strike (M2)
  
  • Fixed a bug where X-Strike would trigger hits multiple times after being thrown through a wall

Ulric

Like Bakko's Bulwark, Ulric's Radiant Shield has been made consistent with other directional shield abilities in the game. You can use escape or mobility skills while Radiant Shield is active, but you will not be able to use regular abilities unless you cancel cast first.

• Radiant Shield (Q)
  
  • Using Hammer of Justice, Smite, and Sanctuary no longer cancels your Radiant Shield automatically
    
  • All other abilities can still be used while Radiant Shield is active to cancel Radiant Shield early

Varesh

• Shatter (E)
  
  • Damage increased from 10 to 12
    
  • Legendary Bonus Movement Speed while casting increased from 60% to 75%
