This update contains quality-of-life improvements for several underused Signatures on the least played Legends. This includes Vector's new Down Rocket Lance Signature which has graduated from Test Features.
Ezio
We have reduced the Recover time on Ezio's Side Orb as its overall risk and total commitment proved to be too long for its threat coverage compared to other Legends.
Ezio Side Orb: Decreased total Recovery time from 25 to 23.
Reno
Reno's Neutral Orb now has less Recover time on miss for less risk given its role as an anti-air attack.
Reno Neutral Orb: Decreased total Recover time on miss from 21 to 19.
Sentinel
Sentinel's Side Katars has received a significant increase to its visual size and threat coverage. This straight-forward Signature now has a total threat map that is closer in line with similar attacks on other Legends.
Sentinel Side Katars: Increased threat coverage; Increased size of visual FX.
Thor
Thor's Side Orb often felt too stiff in the flow of a match, so we have increased the allowed momentum for more fluid use from general movement, dashes, and chase dodges.
Thor Side Orb: Slightly increased the maximum momentum allowed during the startup and first swing.
Vector
Vector's Experimental Down Rocket Lance has graduated from Test Features! Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles. This allows for faster coverage of the area in front of Vector that the Side Rocket Lance cannot threaten, and provides an option that does not completely surrender positioning.
Vector Down Rocket Lance: Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles.
Yumiko
Yumiko's Neutral Bow now has less Recover time to better fit its role as an anti-air attack, and to match its comparatively low priority.
Yumiko Neutral Bow: Decreased total Recovery time from 19 to 16.
The platforms for Bombsketball have been redesigned, including all-new art, animations when someone scores a goal, and timers for when a new bomb will spawn. The goals also have backboards, so you can try for a layup and other new strategies. Check it out in Custom Online lobbies or Offline Play.
Now, you can change your Color Scheme while training in Training mode just as easily as changing a Legend or Skin!
In the “Settings” menu, we added a new row for changing your Color Scheme.
Depending on the Map chosen or the base colors of a Skin, if a Color Scheme conflicts with these items, an asterisk will be denoted next to the Color name.
This will help you understand the different Color exclusions within Brawlhalla!
We’ve introduced the new Ledge Cancel improvement Test Feature. Ledge Cancel Dashes will always be a forward dash, and it should be easier to diagonal dodge near a soft platform instead of accidentally Ledge Canceling.
Ledge Cancel Dash always gives forward dash even when changing direction.
Ledge Cancel Dashes are slightly easier to perform, and are harder to do accidentally.
This patch is also graduating 2 previous Test Features into all queues!
Vector's Down Rocket Lance Signature Re-work: Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles. This attack can be charged or slide charged for greater damage.
Disarm FX: A visual effect that shows when a Legend has been disarmed by an opponent. The effect appears as bright colored sparks that fly off the Legend. These FX are distinct from other collision visual FX.
Compete in stellar Rayman formation in a retrowave neon landscape! In Kung Foot anything goes as you kick, bash, and slash the ball through the opposing team’s goal in this 2v2 digital sports scene. First team to score 5 goals wins!
2v2
5 goals
100% Damage
5 Minute Timer
Art & Animation
Tweaked the Boomerang Gadget spin animation to make it more noticeable.
Visual adjustments for Aang’s Neutral Gauntlet FX.
User Interface
The font and layout of the HUD has been updated.
Optimized the Battle Pass Season 2 logo and splash art to improve its UI performance.
Localization
Thea's base Battle Boots in English now have the correct name "PegaSwift Racers."
All localized terms that were added in 7.06 now have updated translations. These include terms for Thea, Volleybrawl, and Ranked Season 28.
Ember’s Synthwave Battle Pass Skin now has the correct name “Modular Rift Ember.”
Art & Animation
Fixed a visual bug where The Rock’s torso was not appearing.
Fixed a bug where the Legend portrait was off by a few pixels in the HUD of Street Brawl.
Gameplay
Fixed a bug where the Walker Attack Game Mode would end immediately at game start. (Credit:FieryTooth)
Fixed a bug where the Boomerang gadget’s homing would reset after it hits a proximity mine. Now, it will properly be blasted away by the explosion.
Fixed a bug with Boomerangs where it would remain in a spinning animation after hitting the floor.
Fixed a bug where Battle Boots’ Down Air damage did not trap enemies in a bubble in the Bubble Tag Game Mode.
User Interface
Pinned Events in the tournament screen now display "Coming Soon!"
Fixed a bug where Battle Pass rewards were not centered properly.
Fixed a visual bug where the Title Reward text would appear over the UI screens in the Battle Pass rewards menu.

Ranked Season 28 begins now! The time has come once again to prove you’re one of Odin’s mightiest warriors. Begin by collecting last season’s Glory, and get ready to climb up the Ranked ladder anew.
Prove your skill by defeating the top players to achieve the legendary Valhallan rank! With this new season, the Valhallan rank will be accessible on April 26th. Only the top players in each region will be granted this ultimate rank and unlock its exclusive spoils.
Double up and bubble up for the new 2v2 Bubble Tag mode featured in the Seasonal Ranked Queue!
For those new to seasons, we’ve provided a rundown on what you need to know so you can jump right into battle and fight your way to the top. Check out our breakdown on Ranked Tiers and the Elo reset below.
The tabletop campaign is coming to a close! Battle Pass Season 7: ValhallaQuest is in its 12th and final week. So now is the time to complete missions and finish the reward track. However, you’ll still be able to level up your progression items after it ends.
At the beginning of every season, there is a soft Elo reset, your placement matches are reset, and you receive Glory – the currency you earn by playing Ranked.
We hope you 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.
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: http://brawlhalla.com/glory-calculator/
Placement Matches
Players beginning their Ranked climb have 10 placement matches to better determine their skill level and starting Elo.
Each season, for Ranked 1v1 and Ranked 2v2, your first 10 matches will serve as placement matches that will have a greater effect on your rating than normal games. Your rating will be hidden until after you have completed your placement matches for that queue.
Valhallan Rank
Valhallan Rank will open on April 26th. To become Valhallan, players must be Ranked in Diamond, have at least 100 wins during the Ranked season, and attain a rating among the top players in their region.
Each region has a limited number of Valhallan positions:
US-E / EU – Top 150
SA – Top 100
SEA / US-W – Top 50
AUS / JPN – Top 25
SAF – Top 10
ME – Top 10
These numbers are based on each region’s population and will be considered for adjustment on a seasonal basis.
Unique Valhallan Rewards
After ranking up, players will immediately receive the Valhallan Avatar, Loading Frame, and Season Title Reward.
Valhallan Loading Frame:
Unlike other Ranked Loading Frames, the Valhallan Loading Frame can only be used while the player is currently in the Valhallan rank. Players are granted it immediately upon achieving Valhallan, and if they are pushed out of Valhallan rank, the Loading Frame will be revoked when the daily reset occurs (9am UTC/5am EDT/2am PDT).
Valhallan Title Reward:
Players are awarded a Title immediately upon achieving Valhallan. Each season will have a unique Valhallan Title Reward. The Title is never revoked, regardless of rank.
Valhallan Avatar:
Instead of an Avatar that upgrades at the end of each season, the Valhallan Avatar is awarded immediately upon achieving Valhallan.
The Valhallan Avatar has two states: active and inactive. The active Avatar is rewarded immediately upon achieving the Valhallan rank but can be downgraded to the inactive “Fallen” state if players fall out of Valhallan rank when the daily reset occurs.
To reactivate the Avatar, players need to reach the Valhallan rank again. Players will retain ownership of the Avatar between seasons, but it will be in the “Fallen” state at the start of every season.
Ranked Borders from Season 27
If you placed Gold, Platinum, or Diamond at any point in the season, you are given a Ranked border based on your highest rank that other players can see in the match preview screen. 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 27
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 season.
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.
Players can continue to earn Glory mid-season and earn exclusive Title Rewards. With every new season, the Seasonal Ranked Queue’s Elo will do a full reset.
New Ranked Game Mode – 2v2 Bubble Tag
Strike your opponents to capture them in Bubbles. Bubbled players can't attack and have limited movement, but you can save the day by tagging your teammates to free them. Capture the entire enemy team to score a point. The first team to 5 points wins!
Beyond glory there is immortality! In Mallhalla, in the “Ranked” tab, players can spend their hard-earned Glory to purchase Skyforged Colors, Weapons, UI Theme, Emotes, and Sidekicks. Skyforged Colors are only usable on Legends that have reached level 5 or greater.
Players can also purchase Goldforged items, which require the purchase of the Skyforged version of the same item. Show your strength with these exclusive Ranked items!
SPIKE! Get ready for a high stakes 1v1 game of Volleybrawl! Hit the ball to change it to your color. Deal damage to your opponent by getting the ball to touch the floor on their side while it's your color. Deplete their HP to score a point. Be careful: if the ball is still for too long or is hit four times without changing sides it'll reset. First to three points wins!

Last week, Thea made her debut as the 58th Legend in Brawlhalla. This Eternal Sports champion relishes using her Battle Boots & Rocket Lance skills in the Grand Tournament.
“Once Thea began winning in the Grand Tournament, a new world of possibility opened to her – endorsements. She single-handedly invented sports marketing in Asgard, and watched in delight as her Eternal Sports empire grew... At this point she's so rich she could probably just buy the Hermes' Helmet back from Odin, but she's staying around to win it back instead. She doesn't miss her life with the other Olympians. This crowd is so much livelier...and weirder.”
Thea sprints in with 3 new Skins:
Gorgon Thea – “Hope you brought a shield!” Bonus: Snakes react along with Thea.
Gridrunner Thea – “The goggles keep the bugs out.”
Mach 25 Thea – “If you're not first... well obviously you're not first if you're racing me!”
Thea also brings new swag into Mallhalla:
Eternal Pottery Avatar – “Legend says that the Olympian gods were ahead of the game.”
Thea BRB Emoji Skin – “Olympus is calling, be right back!”
For those who missed Thea’s Eternal Sports Avatar giveaway last patch, it is now available to purchase in Mallhalla!
Patch 7.06 brought with it several new experimental features! We introduced a new Gadget into the world of Brawlhalla – the Boomerang! This nimble Gadget hits anyone in its way when thrown, and while homing back to its thrower. We’re also testing a new short-hop accessibility feature that aims to reduce the barrier-of-entry to the advanced “fastfall” mechanic. See below for full details!
New Gadget: Boomerang
Available to try with Test Features on, in the Experimental queue, or practice with it in Training mode.
This Gadget flies in a large arc when thrown, homes back to its thrower, and hits anyone in its way.
The first gadget to travel through opponents!
Short-hop Accessibility
Designed to reduce the barrier-of-entry to an advanced (but often essential) game mechanic.
It allows you to more easily be able to fastfall after a jump by allowing the 'Down' input to be held any time after the jump. When the minimum height threshold for fastfall is reached after jumping, you will begin fastfalling at a near-optimal time without having to wait for the minimum height threshold before pressing 'Down'.
More optimal timing can still be achieved by short-hopping the old fashioned way – by waiting for the minimum height threshold before pressing 'Down'.
Disarmed Visual Effects Revisions
Based on player feedback & internal review, we’ve updated the colors on the Disarmed Visual Effects to be more distinct from other collision FX.

Once she arrived, she found she enjoyed the spirited competition in Valhalla, and made it her home away from home. Thea’s debut makes her the 58th Legend to permanently join the roster.
Patch 7.06 is also stacked with other exciting new additions like a new Volleybrawl Game Mode, Boomerang Gadget available in Experimental & Test Features, and several Game Improvements & Bug Fixes.

The Gadget Bounce Sound FX Test Feature that was introduced for Patch 7.05 has now graduated into all queues:
There is now a sound for when a Gadget is thrown and hits the ground. Each Gadget has its own unique sound that changes based on its velocity. The Sidekick Summoner Horn makes a special sound if you throw it just right!
Art & Animation
Brawlhaven and Small Brawlhaven now have animated backgrounds! Take a second to admire the grassy fields and cascading waterfall as you brawl.
Performance improvements for Fait, Isaiah, & Sidra – these improve game performance but do not affect gameplay.
User Experience
Players will now receive a fanfare at login every time they earn new Account XP Titles (I.E. Legend I) and Birthday Titles (I.E. Veteran of Asgard I).
Map Definitions

Gameplay
Adjusted the Battle Boots Down Light active input animation so that the user is crouched lower and longer, making it easier to tell when the attack is over.
Updated the Charged OG and Pact of Poison Color scheme exclusions.
User Interface
Fixed a bug where a "Legend II" or higher Title temporarily reverted to the previous "Legend" Title after a client reset.
Fixed bugs in Custom Online & Couch Party lobbies where toggling “Teams” to “On” after having selected a Legend for one or more bots would not update their Color Scheme.

User Experience

As a way for us to thank you for sticking around and playing Brawlhalla, we’re introducing new Titles that are given to players based on their account levels. These begin at level 2 and progress until level 100. The following Titles will be rewarded:
Level 2 - Novice
Level 10 - Pupil
Level 25 - Adept
Level 50 - Veteran
Level 75 - Hero
Level 100 - Legend - This Title comes in an exclusive shade of blue, only shared with the “Developer” Title.
While the account levels only go up to 100, the “Legend” Title ranks up for every additional 100 levels worth of XP earned after getting the Title. All players will retroactively earn their applicable Titles based on XP at login, so check your inventory!
The Challenges Preview continues to expand! This patch we’re introducing new Rocket Lance and Hammer combos for you to hone your skills.
Rocket Lance Walk Off Combo
A powerful Rocket Lance string that will carry your opponent offstage. When doing this in a match, try experimenting with reading your opponent after for an even more devastating effect!
Basic Hammer BnB 1
A simple bread and butter combo that Hammer players will use often!
We’ve added new experimental features in 7.05! As revealed in the last Development Update Stream, Gadgets now have unique Sound FX for when they hit the ground. We’ve also fine-tuned Vector’s Down Rocket Lance Signature Rework and graduated part of Isaiah’s Side Blasters Signature rework! See below for full details.
Gadget Bounce Sound FX
There is now a sound for when a Gadget is thrown and hits the ground. Each Gadget has its own unique sound that changes based on its velocity. The Sidekick Summoner Horn makes a special sound if you throw it just right!
Signature Attack Reworks
Vector Down Rocket Lance
Based on your feedback, Vector now hops backwards at the beginning of the Charge time, but carries greater momentum for improved Slide Charging.
The steering during Charge time has been removed to allow for this preservation of momentum.
Isaiah Side Blasters
Wider drone movement and quicker Time to Hit have graduated into all queues.
The post-attack Charge time did not prove to be useful enough, so this Signature will maintain its original Charge and movement behavior.
Please share all of your feedback with us on our socials like Twitter and Discord! For more information, visit http://brawlhalla.com/test-features.
This patch brings a round of balance changes based on top level feedback and results from the Winter Championship. This involves reining in a few key options on some overperforming weapons, as well as larger adjustments to Tezca and the Battle Boots.
Axe
We have decreased the total Recover time of Axe's Down Light to better correlate with its role as an anti-air attack. Axe's Down Air now allows for greater acceleration and maximum speed for better use as an approach option, especially from a Dash Jump or Chase Dodge.
Axe Down Light: Decreased total Recover time from 14 Fixed/11 Variable to 12 Fixed/11 Variable.
Axe Down Air: Slightly increased allowed maximum speed and forward acceleration at the beginning of the attack, and after the attack on hit.
Battle Boots
The Battle Boots Side Light now has slightly less Stun on the Active Input version to allow for greater Dodge Windows between follow-up attacks. The Battle Boots Down Light has greater Recover time on miss and slightly less threat coverage at maximum range to allow for easier punish attempts against this combo starter. We have also reduced the Stun time of the Battle Boots Neutral Air to allow for greater avenues of escape during aerial strings. The Battle Boots Side Air now has greater Recover time on miss, as well as less Force on the normal version to better match its overall utility. The Battle Boots normal Side Air and Recovery now do slightly less Damage to reduce this Weapon's overall rate of building damage.
Battle Boots Side Light: Decreased Stun of the Active Input version from 25 to 24.
Battle Boots Down Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 13 Fixed/15 Variable to 15 Fixed/15 Variable; Slightly decreased maximum vertical threat coverage, especially at the tip of the attack.
Battle Boots Neutral Air: Decreased Stun from 19 to 17.
Battle Boots Side Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 4 Fixed/16 Variable to 6 Fixed/16 Variable; Decreased Force of the normal version from 55 Fixed/42 Variable to 52 Fixed/39 Variable; Decreased Damage of the normal version from 16 to 15.
Battle Boots Recovery: Decreased Damage from 16 to 15.
Bow
The Bow's Side Light now has greater Recover time on miss, as it was previously too safe for its reliability as a string starter and general spacing tool. We have also increased the Recover time on miss for the Bow Recovery to better match its threat coverage and overall reward.
Bow Side Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/19 Variable to 6 Fixed/19 Variable.
Bow Recovery: Increased total Recover time on miss from 2 Fixed/21 Variable to 4 Fixed/21 Variable.
Cannon
The Cannon Side Air now has greater Recover time on miss for more reliable punish attempts against this highly mobile and powerful attack.
Cannon Side Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 2 Fixed/16 Variable to 4 Fixed/16 Variable.
Gauntlets
The Gauntlets Down Air now has a significantly more vertical angle of knockback and slightly less Force. This change in angle allows for new strings and pursuit options in Singles gameplay, while also requiring team combos to be performed at a much closer range with greater risk of friendly fire. The reduction in Force keeps the off-stage total knockback distance relatively equal to its previous value, and maintains a close position for follow-up attacks in a wider damage range.
Gauntlets Down Air: Angle of knockback is now much more vertical; Decreased Force from 45 Fixed/25 Variable to 45 Fixed/23 Variable.
Hammer
The Hammer Neutral Air has slightly greater Stun to allow for more reliable follow-up attacks at low damage ranges, and slightly greater positional advantage at medium damage ranges.
Hammer Neutral Air: Increased Stun from 27 to 28.
Katars
We have increased the Katars Neutral Light Recover time on miss, as it could previously rotate into this Weapon's other fast grounded attacks too quickly. The Down Air's grounded Recover time on hit has been altered to open a Dodge Window after this attack for extremely high Dexterity values. Similarly, the Katars Recovery now has slightly less Stun to open a Dodge Window after its use at low damage ranges.
Katars Neutral Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/12 Variable to 7 Fixed/12 Variable.
Katars Down Air: Changed total Recover time on hit for the grounded version from 1 Fixed/11 Variable to 2 Fixed/10 Variable.
Katars Recovery: Decreased Stun of the final hit from 20 to 19.
Arcadia
Arcadia's Down Spear and Down Greatsword have greater Recover time to allow for easier punishes, ideally from a Dash Jump Side Air or Down Air respectively.
Arcadia Down Spear: Increased total Recover time after the trap is created from 18 to 20.
Arcadia Down Greatsword: Increased total Recover time after the trap is created from 23 to 25.
Cross
Cross' Neutral Gauntlets, Side Gauntlets, Side Blasters, and Down Blasters have received reductions in Force to better match their total duration, given their common use as a finisher in team combos.
Cross Neutral Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/48 Variable to 60 Fixed/45 Variable.
Cross Side Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/52 Variable to 60 Fixed/49 Variable.
Cross Side Blasters: Decreased Force from 45 Fixed/58 Variable to 45 Fixed/54 Variable.
Cross Down Blasters: Decreased Force from 75 Fixed/53 Variable to 65 Fixed/50 Variable.
Gnash
Gnash's Down Spear now has greater Damage and Force to better match its lengthy Time to Hit.
Gnash Down Spear: Increased Damage from 25 to 27; Increased Force from 60 Fixed/50 Variable to 65 Fixed/52 Variable.
Isaiah
While the alternate charge timing of Isaiah's Experimental Side Blasters did not graduate, the new drone trajectory and faster Minimum Charge time is now live to improve the responsiveness and threat coverage of this attack.
Isaiah Side Blasters: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 7; The drone attack begins closer to the user, resulting in greatly increased threat coverage.
Kor
Kor's Down Hammer now has slightly less Minimum Charge time and slightly greater Force for better responsiveness and reward on this lengthy attack.
Kor Down Hammer: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 5 to 4; Increased Force of the aerial version from 54 Fixed/51 Variable to 54 Fixed/52 Variable; Increased Force of the grounded version from 60 Fixed/53 Variable to 60 Fixed/54 Variable.
Onyx
We have decreased the Force of Onyx' Neutral Cannon to better match its total duration and utility as a finisher in team combos.
Onyx Neutral Cannon: Decreased Force from 75 Fixed/55 Variable to 68 Fixed/53 Variable.
Tezca
Tezca's Neutral Gauntlets grounded version, Down Gauntlets grounded version, Side Battle Boots, and Down Battle Boots grounded version all now have significantly less Fixed Force, notably delaying their knockout potential at intermediate and high damage ranges.
Tezca Neutral Gauntlets: Decreased Force of the grounded version from 75 Fixed/52 Variable to 65 Fixed/52 Variable.
Tezca Down Gauntlets: Decreased Force of the grounded version from 72 Fixed/50 Variable to 62 Fixed/50 Variable.
Tezca Side Boots: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/50 Variable to 60 Fixed/50 Variable.
Tezca Down Boots: Decreased Force of the grounded version from 75 Fixed/56 Variable to 65 Fixed/56 Variable.
Val
Val's Down Sword now has less Recover time on miss and greater Force, for less risk and greater reward, given this attack's static position and lengthy total duration.
Val Down Sword: Decreased total Recover time from 24 to 21; Increased Force from 70 Fixed/46 Variable to 70 Fixed/49 Variable.
User Interface
Damage color entity flashes match HUD health indicator
When a Legend gets hit, they flash the color of their damage. Previously, this color was tiered between white/yellow/orange/red. This caused the damage flash to sometimes be incorrect compared to the HUD health indicator on the top-right of the screen.
Now, this color flash on the Legend matches the HUD exactly - with full granularity between all the colors. Not only does this affect Legends that are damaged, but it also affects the ball and the ball trail in Kung Foot and the gates in Horde Mode.
Art & Animation
We’ve added new tech for Jaeyun and Ezio so their in-game models will more accurately reflect their character designs. Now Jaeyun’s missing eye and Ezio’s scar will stay on the correct side.
Tweaked the Battle Boots’ Side Air hit and the Down Light miss animations.
Game Modes
Removed Grumpy Temple and Small Grumpy Temple from the Dice and Destruction game mode Map selection.
Maps
Western Air Temple’s camera is now properly centered on the stage. Camera bounds now follow a standard 16:9 ratio, resulting in smoother camera movement and better tracking of players. Left and Right camera bubble distances are also now equal. This gives less area of the map for players to just “swim around” offscreen.
Western Air Temple KO Line adjustments: distance to the top knockout line is now much farther. Distance to the bottom knockout line is now slightly farther as well. Left and Right knockout lines are now equal. This brings this Map more in line with other standard Maps.
Gameplay
Bots are now more proactive about finding opportunities to pick up a Weapon and spend less time unarmed.
User Experience
Fixed a bug with the Manage Party menu where once the drop down menu for a Legend/bot was opened, hovering your cursor over another Legend/bot would unintentionally change which Legend/bot you were changing settings for without any visual indication that something had changed. Hovering your cursor over another Legend/bot while the drop down menu is open now has no effect.
Fixed a bug where the randomized Emote animations in the Battle Pass Progression screen would always play the same sound instead of playing the appropriate sound to match the current animation.
User Interface
Fixed a bug with the Manage Party menu where opening the drop down menu for a bot, then closing it, then opening the menu for a different bot would still display the Bot Difficulty setting for the previous bot.
Fixed a bug where purchasing Battle Pass Tiers would cause any subsequent purchase from Mallhalla to erroneously show the purchase confirmation for buying Battle Pass Tiers instead of the confirmation for the item purchased. This was a display bug only and did not have an effect on purchases.
Fixed a bug on PC where the "Rejoin Game" prompt is not clickable.
Fixed a bug where the South Africa flag did not render in the Public Games List.
Added the “Wearing Hat” tag to Nightblade Hattori, and removed the “Wearing Hat” tag from Horus Mirage.
Shortened the Training mode menu popup on Nintendo Switch & Xbox One.
Gameplay:
Fixed a bug that was causing Capture the Flag and Brawlball matches to experience a rollback at the start of the game.
Map
Fixed a bug where the Dracula’s Castle and Inverted Dracula’s Castle Maps weren't rendering on PlayStation 4.
