The new Ranked Season 14 starts this week! If you're new to Seasons, we have information below to guide you through this ranked reset.
In Mallhalla, you can find our newest Legend, Vector and his three Skins, our charity Salute Taunt, and exclusive Autumn Championship 2019 items. Additionally, we've updated the Brawl of the Week to Ghost Brawl, changed items on sale, and updated the Legends on the free-to-play Legend rotation.
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 Formula 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 and Legend Rating
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 Earnings Calculation 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: https://www.brawlhalla.com/glory-calculator/ Ranked Borders from Season 13 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 from Season 13 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.
5th & 6th Tier Ranked Avatar Upgrade Information 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.
Color Scheme – Goldforged! 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.
We're proud to present our charity Salute Taunt in Mallhalla for a limited time!
All of our proceeds from the Brawlhalla Salute Taunt will go directly to Direct Relief, a non-profit charity organization that helps people affected by poverty or emergency situations, like those in need of care due to Hurricane Dorian.

Test Features
We've added a new test feature to signal the occurrence of interrupted recoveries. A special effect and sound cue will now play when this event occurs. Interrupted recoveries may happen when hitting an opponent that is recovering or during an exhausted recovery. Let us know how this effect feels during gameplay!
Interrupted Recovery FX:
When the beginning of a player's Recovery attack is interrupted, a special effect will appear.
This patch brings adjustments targeted at fine-tuning some recently altered base kit attacks, as well as numerous adjustments to the Stun values of setup hits to prevent unintended combos.
Setup Hits
The following attacks have received Stun reductions to their setup hits, as they could grant greater frame advantage than intended by interrupting these attacks early. Landing these attacks will still stun the opponent throughout their duration, and the final stun value and frame advantage is unchanged, so keep going for your favorite follow-ups on hit.
Unarmed Neutral Light: Decreased stun of the first hit from 25 to 17; Decreased Stun of the second hit from 32 to 17; Decreased Stun of the third hit from 32 to 20.
Sword Down Light: Decreased stun of the first hit from 31 to 17.
Lance Side Light: Decreased Stun of the setup hit from 31 to 17.
Hammer Neutral Light: Decreased Stun of the first hit from 38 to 20; Decreased Stun of the second hit from 38 to 27.
Blasters Neutral Light: Decreased Stun of the first hit from 28 to 21; Decreased Stun of the second hit from 28 to 22.
Spear Side Light: Decreased Stun of the first hit from 33 to 18.
Bow Side Light: Decreased Stun of the first hit from 30 to 26.
Gauntlets Neutral Light: Decreased Stun of the first hit from 25 to 18; Decreased Stun of the second, third, and fourth hit from 32 to 18.
Orb Neutral Light: Decreased Stun of the first hit from 31 to 18.
Scythe Neutral Air: Decreased Stun of the first hit from 34 to 18.
Scythe Down Air: Decreased Stun of the first hit from 34 to 18.
Kaya Down Spear: Decreased Stun of the setup hits from 34 to 30.
Thor Neutral Hammer: Decreased Stun of the setup hits from 34 to 20.
Blasters
The Blasters Down Light has received a minor reduction in Force, allowing for a broader range of combo choice across most health values.
Blasters Down Light: Decreased Force from 35 Fixed/9 Variable to 30 Fixed/7 Variable.
Scythe
The Scythe Neutral Air's recent momentum reduction has been localized closer to the middle of its animation. This grants greater movement after the target has been launched, allowing for improved follow-up attacks.
Scythe Neutral Air: Focused the momentum dampening towards the middle of the backwards version, improving positioning for follow-up attacks; Decreased Force from 34 Fixed/30 Variable to 28 Fixed/20 Variable.
Unarmed
We have decreased the Unarmed Ground Pound's Damage, and the Unarmed Neutral Heavy's Force, to more appropriately fit its agile kit.
Unarmed Ground Pound: Decreased Damage from 22 to 19.
Unarmed Neutral Heavy: Decreased Force from 40 Fixed/56 Variable to 40 Fixed/52 Variable.
Petra
Petra has received slightly more Recover time on miss for both her Side Gauntlets and Down Gauntlets Signatures, to better match their risk with their high potential reward.
Petra Side Gauntlets: Increased Recover time on miss from 10 to 12.
Petra Down Gauntlets: Increased Recover time on miss from 18 to 20.
Sentinel
Sentinel's Neutral Katars has received an increase in Damage, as it previously did far less than other similar anti-air Signatures.
Sentinel Neutral Katars: Increased Damage from 18 to 20.
Game Improvements
Daily Missions
Remote players that enter the queue with you will no longer count toward mission or achievement progress when earning hits and KOs in Free-for-All matchmaking games.
Adjusted the success requirements on a number of missions.
2v2 Ranked games: 5 -> 4
2v2 Ranked wins: 3 -> 2
Gravity-canceled hits: 20 -> 10
Gadget KOs: 5 -> 3
Thrown Weapon KOs: 6 -> 3
Gameplay
Cannon Wall Cling: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation.
Orb Wall Cling: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation.
Blasters Recovery: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation.
Team games of Brawldown will now spawn the first two Weapons on opposite sides of the map like in other standard team games.
Animation and Art
Added more places where Petra's Orb signature animations uses the active orb look instead the default.
Relayered Petra's head in her character select to appear behind the right forearm and hand during the roar animation.
Minor tweaks to Bow's Down Light shot special effects animation to match floor interactions better.
Performance improvements to Bow's basic shot special effects.
Bug Fixes
Gameplay
Fixed a bug that made it impossible for the Sidekick Summoner to be the first gadget spawned.
Fixed a bug that could cause Kaya's Down Bow to have an incorrect Cooldown on miss.
Animation and Art
Fixed a visual bug on Xavier Woods that would cause Big E to disappear for 1 frame.
Fixed a shadow that would flip on a forearm in The Rock's character select animation.
