Warshuttle Map has now graduated into the newest Hellboy themed map, Apocalypse! We also have made a couple of changes to test features:

• We've added a dust cloud for touching the wall. We'd love to hear from you about any issues this creates or adjustments to how it is implemented.

• The Test Features panel has been updated to include information about the wall touch dust cloud feature.

We've revamped the training and replay UI as we continue to upgrade the quality of life in Brawlhalla. This includes updated HUD/UI art in training and replay mode, adding a widget to count frames while frame stepping, and more. We've listed some details about this upgrade below:

• Frame stepping is now controlled by the right analog stick for controllers. Clicking the stick in will activate frame stepping in training mode. Tilt to the right to step forward and to the left to go backward. Hold in that direction to begin scrubbing.
• In Training Mode, the hotkeys will show for frame stepping. A widget has also been added to count frames while frame stepping.
• In Replay Mode, hotkeys are now displayed for all replay functionality. Camera mode hotkeys are now shown, as well as an option to hide the UI buttons.
• We've also fixed an issue with frame stepping and replays not working together.

User Interface

• Sale items in the Store and the description for the Brawl of the Week now both have countdown timers until they change instead of static end dates.

Map and Item Spawns

• Fixed the camera for Apocalypse to fit better on standard ratios and brought in the left and right kill walls slightly.
• Adjusted item spawn rates so that it's based on the number of players that are still playing instead of how many began the game. This means the item spawn rate in Stock games will decrease as players become eliminated.

Animations

• Pushed Cross' Side Gauntlets Signature visuals to appear behind other players instead of in front.
• Reduced clipping of certain skins with low hanging fabric (such as skirts and tassels) on the following taunts: See Ya!, Photo Op, Come At Me, Deal With it, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Be a Hero!, and The Reads.

Localization

• Thanks to Comesa for the help with improving our German translations!

User Experience

• Fixed a crash when loading corrupt save data.
• Fixed a rare crash at the end of matches.
• Fixed a Xbox One crash due to having many local players.
• Fixed a crash on Nintendo Switch.

User Interface

• Fixed a bug where the user could not navigate the promo code redemption screen with the keyboard ('Enter' and 'Esc' will work while entering a promo code).
• Fixed a bug causing the UI background to not display properly moments after leaving a matchmaking queue from the pause menu on Nintendo Switch.

Animation and Art

• Fixed a bug that would cause the Orb to flicker between states during an Orb Legend's hit launch animation.
• Flipped a hand that was backwards during Wu Shang's Side Gauntlet signature.
• Fixed frames in Blaster's hit launch animation where there would be two left hands.
• Fixed a missing forearm asset for Shogun Jiro.
• Fixed a bug that would cause the back of Love Laced Ada's head to disappear.
• Fixed a bug that would cause Enchantress' spinning orb to not play all of its frames.

Gameplay

• Ada Side Blasters: Fixed a case where the target could be dropped before the final hit.
• Hattori Side Spear: Fixed a case where the target could be dropped before the final hit. (Credit: Piox)

Several Legends have received balance adjustments based on the intense action we have seen during the first major tournaments of the year. While a few Signatures have been reined in on either reward or speed, we have enhanced those aspects on other notably rare attacks. Some Legends and weapon attacks have also received quality of life improvements to assist with their general gameplan and pacing during a match.

Orb:

Aerial string routes with the Orb often lead the user to expend their jumps early during an engagement, so we have shuffled some power within the Orb Recovery attack to better fit this avenue of play. The Orb Recovery now sends the user slightly further vertically for better use when returning to the stage, but its Force slightly decreases over the course of its travel. This brings the knockout potential of the Recovery closer in line with other similar options on other weapon kits.

• Orb Recovery: Force changed from 75 Fixed/44 Variable to a range of 75~65 Fixed/44~40 Variable; Slightly increased vertical travel speed.

Ada:

We have slightly increased the final Hit Window of Ada's Side Blasters to afford greater consistency in knockback from different initial hit locations.

• Ada Side Blasters: Increased Hit Window of the final shot from 2 to 3.

Diana:

Diana's Bow kit has received some reductions in rear threat coverage to open up clearer areas for spacing against these Attacks. We have also reduced the Force of her Neutral Bow, similar to previous balance passes on anti-air Signatures that spike their target downward. This applies to not only the grabbed target, but also secondary targets struck by the final arrow burst.

• Diana Neutral Bow: Decrease Force on the primary target from 55 Fixed/48 Variable to 55 Fixed/45 Variable; Decreased Force on secondary targets from 55 Fixed/51 Variable to 55 Fixed/45 Variable.
• Diana Side Bow: Decreased rear threat coverage during the first swing of the attack.
• Diana Down Bow: Decreased rear threat coverage during the attack.

Fait:

Fait's Neutral Orb has proven too quick for its Force and coverage, so we have slightly increased the Minimum Charge and Recover time to allow for more time to answer this attack. Fait's Down Orb has also received increased Recover time for greater opportunities to respond to this attack.

• Fait Neutral Orb: Increase Recover time from 13 to 15; Increase Minimum Charge time from 7 to 8.
• Fait Down Orb: Increased Recover time on miss from 10 to 14.

Isaiah:

Given the substantial duration of Isaiah's Side Cannon, we have increased its knockout potential. This attack also sends targets farther even at low health ranges for greater stage control on hit.

• Isaiah Side Cannon: Increased Force from 50 Fixed/54 Variable to 65 Fixed/55 Variable.

Jiro:

We have greatly increased the knockout potential on Jiro's Side Sword due to its long duration and relatively low movement and now more closely matches the reward on his other Signature attacks.

• Jiro Side Sword: Increased Force from 52 Fixed/50 Variable to 55 Fixed/54 Variable.

Mordex:

We have increased the Recover time of Mordex's Neutral Scythe to allow more opportunities for counterplay and grant commensurate risk for its utility. This attack has also received a reduction in Force to more closely match other similar anti-air Signatures. For his Gauntlets kit, we have shifted some power from the Down Gauntlets' Minimum Charge and knockout potential into the Neutral Gauntlets speed and utility. Player's will now have more time to dodge the Down Gauntlets attack, while also having more opportunities to recover when struck by this attack. The Neutral Gauntlets decrease in Minimum Charge time allows for not only a faster attack, but slightly more forward reach when used uncharged due to leaping sooner during its backward arc during the charge.

• Mordex Neutral Scythe: Increase Recover time on miss from 14 to 17; Decreased Force from 72 Fixed/56 Variable to 72 Fixed/52 Variable.
• Mordex Neutral Gauntlets: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 13 to 11.
• Mordex Down Gauntlets: Decreased Force of the upward version from 60 Fixed/52 Variable to 60 Fixed/50 Variable; Decreased Force of the downward version from 60 Fixed/49 Variable to 60 Fixed/47 Variable; Increased Minimum Charge time from 14 to 15.

Rayman:

While Rayman's Neutral and Side Gauntlets have excellent reward when charged for their enhanced strength and range, the shorter tap versions often came out too slow for their relatively low range. We have decreased their Minimum charge time for a snappier response on use.

• Rayman Neutral Gauntlets: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 8.
• Rayman Side Gauntlets: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 12 to 9.

Thor debuts on the Legend Rotation! The new Legend rotation for this week also includes: Cross, Mordex, Dusk, Teros, Cassidy, Asuri, and Mirage.

• Thor - Finally entering the ring, Thor, God of Thunder, makes his appearance in the Grand Tournament with his trusty Hammer, Mjölnir, and his powerful Orb.
• Cross – For years he has owned New York City, but can he do the same in Valhalla? This charismatic mobster steps into Valhalla with Blasters and Gauntlets.
• Mordex – Wielding Gauntlets and Scythe, this lycanthrope steps into battle!
• Dusk - Wielding his Spear and a powerful Orb, carved from stone and magic, Dusk seeks to spread chaos throughout Valhalla.
• Teros – This Minotaur is indifferent to the rules or intent of the Tournament, and instead, takes savage joy in all the battles while crushing his opponents with Axe and Grappling Hammer.
• Cassidy – The Marshal of the Old West is ready to instill justice into Valhalla with both Hammer and Blasters!

Additionally, this week we've updated the Brawl of the Week, changed items on sale in Mallhalla, and updated what Legends are on the free-to-play Legend rotation.

Season 12 – Rewards and Soft Elo reset!

If you're new to Seasons, here's some information you should know. You're going to have a soft Elo reset and will also receive Glory, the currency you receive for playing Ranked. You can use it in the Ranked section of Malhalla to get special Colors and Weapon Skins to show your dedication to your favorite Legend. We hope you enjoy your rewards and enjoy the New Season!

Soft Elo Reset is based on your current Elo at the end of the season.

1v1 and 2v2 Personal Rating

• Under 1400: New Elo = Old Elo
• Over 1400: New Elo = 1400 + (Old Elo – 1400) / (3 – (3000 – Old Elo) / 800)

• 2v2 Team & Legend Ratings  have been brought closer to 750.
• Under 2000: Elo = (Elo + 375) / 1.5
• Over 2000, we aggressively brought you back down as a way of resetting the top tiers. Diamond level players will be reset to high gold or low platinum.

Glory earned is based on a combination of your Highest Peak Rating (highest 1v1, 2v2, team, or Legend rating/Elo) and total Wins. This was designed in order to reward both skill and dedication for those who pursue Glory.

You gain 20 Glory per win up to 150 wins, which gets you 3000 Glory. After 150 wins, each subsequent win gives you slightly less.

Note: There is a minimum requirement of 10 games played to be eligible for Glory based on your rating.

For help estimating your Glory Gained or New Elo after the reset go to: http://www.brawlhalla.com/glory-calculator/

If you placed in Gold or better in your best rating, you are given a ranked border that people will see in the match preview screen. There are Ranked borders for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond tiers. These will last for one season and will be updated again after the new season comes to a close.

Your border from any previous season does not carry over or have any impact on your current border reward.

Ranked Avatars include prestigious versions for those who've placed in high ranks during previous seasons. For example, if you placed in Platinum last season and Gold this season, you'll receive the upgraded versions of the Competitor's Badge and Gold Emblem. You will still have your original Platinum Emblem avatar from previous seasons.

You must play a minimum of 10 games to receive ranked avatars / borders at ANY rank.

• Competitor's Badge: Awarded to anyone who plays 10 Ranked Games or more.
• Gold Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Gold or above.
• Platinum Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Platinum or above.
• Diamond Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Diamond.
• Upgraded versions of Ranked Avatars are awarded to those who have earned the same Avatar in any previous seasons.

For players who have reached the 5th Tier of an avatar by reaching a certain rank or higher for five total seasons: the 5th Tier of that avatar will stay in your inventory permanently! Congratulations on your achievements!

The 6th Tier Avatar, for those who have reached a certain rank or higher for six total seasons, will take on a brand new look! These avatars will grow more and more prestigious with each subsequent seasonal repeat up to Tier 10, at which point the Tier 10 avatar will remain in your inventory permanently.

In short, every 5 Tiers of avatars, you'll keep the most awesome, most decked out version permanently, and then start work on a new version for subsequent tiers for 6-10, 11-15, and so on.

Beyond glory there is immortality!  Goldforged color scheme is only purchasable with Glory and requires the Skyforged color scheme of that same Legend to have already been purchased.

The new Warshuttle Map found in the Experimental Queue has been given a few adjustments listed below. Please try it out and let us know how it feels! Check out http://www.brawlhalla.com/test-features/ for more information.

This week's balance adjustments are focused on smoothing out some individually overtuned attacks that have proven to be too strong within their respective kits. Some have received greater Recover time for more counterattack opportunities, while others have been adjusted to rein in overly-powerful team combos. We have given a boost to some individual attacks that have been underperforming, while also continuing our more fundamental updates to senior Legends, with Ada receiving special attention.

Unarmed:
We have reduced the stun on the Unarmed Side Air to open a dodge window to potential follow-up attacks. This should help bring key string routes in line with the expected disadvantage of being weaponless, as their potential damage was too great during early health ranges.

• Unarmed Side Air: Decreased Stun from 19 to 17.

Lance:
A small amount of Variable Force has been added to the Down Light, as well as an increase to Cooldown on hit, in order to enable a greater degree of Directional Influence when struck by multiple instances of this power. This will allow easier escapes from repetitive team combos using this attack, while keeping individual string potential consistent through most health ranges.

• Lance Down Light: Increased Cooldown on hit from 11 to 16; Increased Force from 50 Fixed/0 Variable to 50 Fixed/5 Variable.

Scythe:
The Scythe has been slightly outpacing other weapons at high level play, so we have opened more areas of opportunity to play around two of its most common attacks. The Neutral Light now has less coverage at the front and rear of the swing, opening it to more counterattacks from mobile opponents or allowing easier escape options. In the aerial kit, the Ground Pound now has greater Recover time, so players may more easily counterattack or land on stage upon successful evasion.

• Scythe Neutral Light: Improved Hitboxing to better match the animation, resulting in slightly less horizontal coverage at the end of the swing.
• Scythe Ground Pound: Increased Recover time from 3 Fixed/17 Variable to 3 Fixed/20 Variable.

Gauntlets:
Given the Neutral Light's lengthy Hit Window, we have decreased the Recover time on miss so it may better serve as a tool to quickly check an opponent's advance during the neutral game. We have also slightly increased its Damage to better match similar options on other weapon kits.

• Gauntlets Neutral Light: Decreased Recover time on miss from 0 Fixed/20 Variable to 0 Fixed/17 Variable; Increased Damage from 13 to 14.

Blasters:
The Neutral Air is an incredibly quick option against opponents floating above you, however the Blasters could rotate into other attacks too quickly for most kits to answer. We have increased the Recover time on miss to allow for greater counterplay against trigger-happy opponents.

• Blasters Neutral Air: Increased Recover time on miss from 0 Fixed/14 Variable to 2 Fixed/14 Variable.

Signatures:
Ada has received a number of improvements to her Hitboxing and Hurtboxing, among other adjustments to better match her stats, as we continue to update senior Legends. Scarlet's Neutral Hammer proved to be able to attack too quickly in too large of an area, so we have reduced the grounded coverage near the front and removed the grounded coverage at the rear of the attack, allowing users to more easily spot dodge or dodge through this attack. It also has more Recover time to allow for greater advantage when successfully evading this attack. Other notable changes include Yumiko's Neutral and Side Bow now have greatly increased evasion and priority while she is traveling to more easily challenge opponents.

• Scarlet Neutral Hammer: Increased Recover time from 17 to 21; Slightly decreased grounded coverage at the front of the attack; Removed grounded coverage at the rear of the attack.
• Ada Down Spear: Improved Hurtboxing to better match the animation.
• Ada Side Spear: Improved Hurtboxing to better match the animation; Improved foot registration, resulting in increased forward travel before the strike; Decreased Force from 65 Fixed/56 Variable to 65 Fixed/53 Variable; Angle of knockback is now slightly more horizontal.
• Ada Neutral Spear: Improved Hurtboxing to better match the animation; Improved Hitboxing to better match the animation; Decreased Force from 75 Fixed/63 Variable to 70 Fixed/54 Variable.
• Ada Side Blasters: Improved Hurtboxing to better match the animation; Improved Hitboxing to better match the animation, resulting in less vertical coverage on each shot; Improved foot registration, resulting in a greater backstep after the final blast; Decreased gaps between each shot in the Hit Window; Increased Hit Window from 21 to 25; Decreased base Damage from 31 to 26; Decreased Recover time from 21 to 15.
• Xull Side Axe: Increased base Damage from 23 to 27.
• Yumiko Neutral Bow: Updated Hurtboxing, resulting in increased priority and evasion when traveling.
• Yumiko Side Bow: Updated Hurtboxing, resulting in increased priority and evasion when traveling.
