This patch contains some minor adjustments to enable some underperforming weapons to better execute their gameplan, while also opening more avenues of approach or escape against key attacks on others.


The Cannon Side Light setup location has been slightly lowered to leave the target slightly closer for more reliable follow-up attacks. We have also increased the Force of the Cannon Neutral Air to improve its knockout power, given its pivotal role as both a combo ender and a powerful anti-air. The Hit Window and final threat coverage of the Cannon Recovery has been slightly decreased to open a greater window to evade or contest this attack as the swing finishes.

• Cannon Side Light: Setup location is now slightly lower.
  
• Cannon Neutral Air: Increased Force from 31 Fixed/51 Variable to 35 Fixed/53 Variable.
  
• Cannon Recovery: Decreased threat coverage at the end of the Hit Window; Decreased Hit Window from 8 to 7.

We have significantly decreased the damage of Gauntlets Neutral Air, given its role in setting up further attacks. This maintains the technical ceiling of this weapon and its more difficult combos, while bringing the rewards in line with difficult sequences on other weapon kits. We have also reduced the threat coverage at the bottom of Gauntlets Recovery to open more reliable escape options after certain strings, and more reliability in contesting this attack from in front and below the user.

• Gauntlets Neutral Air: Decreased Damage from 12 to 8.
  
• Gauntlets Recovery: Decreased bottom threat coverage.

The Hammer Side Air has received a reduction in rear threat coverage to enable more reliable aerial approaches when contesting this attack from above the user.

• Hammer Side Air: Decreased rear threat coverage.

The Rocket Lance Neutral Air now allows slightly greater drift and acceleration in exchange for slightly less threat coverage near the end of the attack. The end of the Hit Window no longer strikes opponents that are standing on even ground. The Rocket Lance Down Air now has a significantly shorter Hit Window that travels at a harsher vertical angle and has a slightly more vertical knockback to match. This gives the Down Air a clearer role in comparison to the Side Air by providing a quicker, shorter range attack that can better threaten targets beneath the Rocket Lance user.

• Rocket Lance Neutral Air: Decreased threat coverage at the end of the Hit Window; Slightly increased the allowed momentum and acceleration during this power.
  
• Rocket Lance Down Air: Decreased Hit Window from 12 to 9; Angle of travel is slightly more vertical; Angle of knockback is slightly more vertical.

We have decreased the vertical threat coverage of the Sword Neutral Light to enhance aerial approaches against this weapon. This also grants early dash-jump approaches a wider margin to clear this attack and respond with one of their own.

• Sword Neutral Light: Decreased vertical threat coverage of the first two swings.

The Greatsword base kit and a number of Signatures for the earliest Legends have received updates to their hurtboxing. Many of these updates fix a large degree of drop cases that can occur when the user is struck during these powers. Several other updates in this list match the hurtboxing closer to the animation, particularly during attacks with significant movement. This is the first wave in a series of updates to hurtboxing and hitboxing for most Legends and weapons. The next waves will go live after the Winter Championship balance lock is lifted.

• Greatsword Side Light Opener: Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Greatsword Down Light Opener: Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Greatsword Side Light Bridge (from Neutral Opener): Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Greatsword Side Light Bridge (from Down Opener): Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Greatsword Neutral Light Bridge (from Down Air Opener): Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation.

• Greatsword Side Light Closer (from Side Light Bridge): Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation.
  
• Greatsword Neutral Air: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation.

• Bödvar Side Sword: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in decreased forward vulnerability during the Hit Window.
  
• Bödvar Neutral Hammer: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in decreased vertical vulnerability.
  
• Bödvar Side Hammer: Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.

• Cassidy Side Blasters: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in slightly increased forward vulnerability.
  
• Cassidy Down Hammer: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in slightly less forward vulnerability during the charge.

• Orion Neutral Spear: Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Orion Side Spear: Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Orion Side Rocket Lance: Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Orion Down Rocket Lance: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in slightly less forward vulnerability during the charge.
  
• Orion Side Spear: Fixed a case where the target could be dropped before the final hit.

• Lord Vraxx Neutral Rocket Lance: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in slightly less forward and vertical vulnerability during the charge and attack, and also fixing a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Lord Vraxx Down Rocket Lance: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in slightly less vertical vulnerability during the attack, and also fixing a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Lord Vraxx Side Blasters: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in slightly less forward and vertical vulnerability during the attack, and also fixing a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Lord Vraxx Down Blasters: Updated hurtboxing to fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.

• Gnash Neutral Spear: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation and fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Gnash Side Spear: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation and fix a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Gnash Down Spear: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in less forward and vertical vulnerability during travel, and also fixing a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Gnash Neutral Hammer: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in decreased vertical vulnerability during the charge, and increased vertical vulnerability during the attack.
  
• Gnash Side Hammer: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in increased forward vulnerability during the Recover time.
  
• Gnash Down Hammer: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in increased forward vulnerability during the travel, but decreased vertical vulnerability during the ground impact.

• Queen Nai Side Katars: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in decreased forward vulnerability during the travel, and also fixing a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Queen Nai Down Katars: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in decreased horizontal vulnerability during the attack, and also fixing a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Queen Nai Neutral Spear: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in decreased horizontal and vertical vulnerability during the attack, and also fixing a number of drop cases when struck during this power.
  
• Queen Nai Side Spear: Updated hurtboxing to better match the animation, resulting in decreased forward vulnerability during the attack, and also fixing a number of drop cases when struck during this power.

User Experience

• “Battle Points" have been renamed to "Battle Pass XP" in order to make it more immediately clear how they work and to eliminate any confusion that resulted from "Battle Pass" and "Battle Points".

Animation

• Updated and improved the visuals for the respawn carry animations by adjusting the body parts and limbs on the character rig.

Last week, Magyar, our newest Legend, arrived to haunt the hallowed halls of Valhalla with their deadly Greatsword and Hammer. Magyar is the 52nd new Legend to permanently join the roster.
We’ve also updated Brawl of the Week, free-to-play Legend Rotation, and sale items!

To catch the latest Brawlhalla news and content, be sure to follow us on Twitter, Twitch, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Discord!




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, Weapon Skins, Emotes, and Nameplates 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 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 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/

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! In Mallhalla, under the “Ranked” tab, players may spend their hard-earned Glory to purchase Skyforged Colors, Weapons, Nameplates, and Emotes. Skyforged Colors are only usable on Legends that have reached level 5 or greater.

Players can also purchase the Goldforged Colors, Weapons, Nameplates, and Emotes with Glory. Goldforged requires the Skyforged version of that item to have already been purchased. Show your strength with these exclusive Ranked items!

Please let us know your experience with these Test Features on Twitter and Discord! Check out https://www.brawlhalla.com/test-features/ for more information.



We have made a number of adjustments heavily focused on bringing the Greatsword's potential rate of attack and rewards on hit in line with other weapon kits. This includes adjustments to both its aerial kit, its grounded attack chains, and several Signatures on Legends that use the Greatsword. We have also improved the Scythe's ability to convert from its grounded Active Input string starters to bring its average reward closer in line with most other weapon kits.


The Greatsword has received a wide array of changes to its grounded chain attacks to both increase its risk and decrease its average reward on hit. Many of the Neutral Opener and Neutral Bridge attacks now have less overall threat coverage, improving the reliability of dodge escapes and counterattacks against these options. The Side Light Opener now has greater Time to Hit, slightly reducing its ability to threaten during the neutral game while also allowing jumps to reliably escape chain resets that involve a Side Light Opener connection.

The Greatsword Side Air, Neutral Air, Down Air, and Recovery have also received reductions in threat coverage. The Neutral Air has also received a decrease in Force to bring its knockout potential in line with other similar attacks. The Greatsword Down Air now has greater Recover time on miss and less Stun, removing its positional true combo into Neutral Air, and decreasing its reward while increasing its risk off-stage. The Recovery attack now has less travel speed and drift, and significantly less Force, to bring this attack in line with its overall utility and size.

The Greatsword Opener Stances have all received significant delays to their cancel windows on miss, and minor delays to their attack cancel windows on hit to increase their risk and open more escape routes during attack chains. The Bridge Stances have also received moderate delays to their cancel windows on miss to further increase avenues of counterattack or evasion against continued chains.

• Greatsword Neutral Light Opener: Slightly decreased maximum horizontal and vertical threat coverage; Final portion of the Hit Window no longer hits grounded opponents.
  
• Greatsword Side Light Opener: Decreased rear threat coverage during the end of the Hit Window; Increased Time to Hit from 8 to 10.
  
• Greatsword Neutral Bridge (from Side Opener): Slightly decreased maximum horizontal threat coverage.
  
• Greatsword Neutral Bridge (from Down Opener): Slightly decreased maximum horizontal threat coverage.
  
• Greatsword Neutral Bridge (from Down Air Opener): Greatly decreased maximum horizontal and vertical threat coverage; Final portion of Hit Window no longer hits grounded opponents.
  
• Greatsword Side Air: Slightly decreased maximum vertical and horizontal threat coverage for the aerial version.
  
• Greatsword Neutral Air: Slightly decreased maximum vertical and horizontal threat coverage; Threat coverage decreases further during the end of the Hit Window; Decreased Force from 50 Fixed/45 Variable to 50 Fixed/42 Variable.
  
• Greatsword Down Air: Decreased Stun of the aerial version from 20 to 18; Decreased threat coverage at the top of the attack; Increased total Recover time of the aerial version on miss from 8 Fixed/10 Variable to 10 Fixed/10 Variable.
  
• Greatsword Recovery: Decreased maximum vertical and horizontal threat coverage for both the aerial and wall versions; Unified and decreased Force from 88 Fixed/45~49 Variable to 75 Fixed/40 Variable; Slightly decreased vertical travel speed; Decreased drift and acceleration allowed during the power, especially on miss.
  
• Delayed the attack cancel window of Opener Stances on miss by 5 frames.
  
• Delayed the attack cancel window of Opener Stances on hit by 2 frames.
  
• Delayed the jump/dash/dodge cancel window of Opener Stances on miss by 6 frames.
  
• Delayed the jump/dash/dodge cancel window of Bridge Stances on miss by 3 frames.
  
• Delayed the attack cancel window of Bridge Stances on miss by 3 frames.
  
• Delayed the walk cancel window of Side Opener/Bridge & Down Opener/Bridge Stances by 4 frames.

The soft versions of Scythe Side Light and Down Light have both received increased Stun, allowing for more reliable conversions from these unique string starters. This increases the Scythe's average rate of damage to be similar to other string weapons and greatly improves its positional rewards.

• Scythe Side Light: Increased Stun of the soft version from 14 to 16.
  
• Scythe Down Light: Increased Stun of the soft version from 26 to 28.

 

Jaeyun's Side Sword now has greater Recover time on miss and less Force to bring its risk and reward closer in line with other similar Signatures. This Signature has also received an increase in Minimum Charge time and a decrease to its overall threat coverage, opening clearer avenues for counterattack and more reliable dodge escapes when it is used in a string.

• Jaeyun Side Sword: Increased total Recover time on miss from 23 to 26; Increased Minimum Charge time from 8 to 10; Decreased Force from 65 Fixed/48 Variable to 65 Fixed/46 Variable; Slightly decreased maximum vertical and horizontal threat coverage.

We have decreased the Force on Mako's Side Greatsword and Down Greatsword Signatures given their horizontal angle of knockback. Mako's Down Katars have also received a significant increase in Recover time for greater risk on this steerable Signature.

• Mako Side Greatsword: Decreased Force from 65 Fixed/50 Variable to 65 Fixed/47 Variable.
  
• Mako Down Greatsword: Decreased Force from 65 Fixed/48 Variable to 65 Fixed/45 Variable.
  
• Mako Down Katars: Increased total Recover time from 10 to 15.

 


User Experience

• While there is no current Battle Pass, your progress on Upgrade Missions from past Battle Passes that are still active will now show up below your current Daily Missions on the post-match rewards screen, like the Upgrade Mission for Future Wave Val.

User Experience

• Fixed a bug where choosing a Crossover you don't own that is on rotation and then going to the base Legend after that (e.g., picking Jake, backing out of the lock in, and then picking Kor) would erroneously allow you to use the Crossover's Weapon Skins on the base Legend.

Gameplay

• Fixed a rare bug where the player would be sideways when being launched vertically straight up.

Animation

• Fixed an animation issue with the 5th Cake-aversary Emote where the limbs would disconnect for some Skins. (Credit: Lucians_sword)

• Updated Jump cloud effects for the player’s last air Jump.
  
• Brand new effect for when a player is completely out of recovering options.
  
• Visual updates to Dodge, Wall Touch cloud, and Gravity Cancel effects.
  
• These visual effect Test Features are a continuing effort to improve the art and competitive clarity of Brawlhalla!

We previously announced that we’ve graduated the Unarmed Clashes feature into the live game, improving the advantage gained by maintaining weapon control.

The Unarmed Clashes feature has been graduated.

• Weapon-based attacks that land on the same frame as an Unarmed attack will win the exchange.
  
• This takes precedence over other priority rules, such as grounded attacks winning clashes against aerial attacks.
  
• Unarmed attacks still clash or follow general priority rules against other Unarmed attacks.

Please let us know your experience with these Test Features on Twitter and Discord! Check out https://www.brawlhalla.com/test-features/ for more information.
