Brawlhalla - pablo

The roar of the crowd still echoes after Ranked Season 30. Brawlers, you have earned Glory, Rank, and, most importantly of all, approval from the crowds watching the Grand Tournament. Songs will be sung of your endeavors, and you have already been handsomely rewarded. However, don’t let all the praise and spoils go to your head. There are still battles to be fought in Ranked Season 31!

We hope to see y’all duking it out in this brand new Ranked Season. Good luck!

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

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: 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 January 24th. 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 15
ME – Top 25

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 30

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 30

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.

Exclusive Ranked Rewards – Skyforged & Goldforged!

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.

New Legend: Seven, Brawlhallidays, and New Challenges! – Patch 8.03

Brawlhalla - pablo

A sentient robot with a passion for engineering, Seven is ready to build her way to victory in Brawlhalla! With her trusty Mega Wrench Spear, Handcrafted Cannon, and custom mechanized creations, she’s a formidable foe in the Grand Tournament.

Along with Seven’s debut, we’re celebrating the Brawlhalliest, jolliest time of the year! Sentinel brings justice no matter the temperature in his new cold weather suit, and Fait’s brought her coziest sweater and a cup of hot cocoa. Also featuring a new Sidekick & Emojis alongside many more seasonal favorites!

Patch 8.03 also includes a balance pass, new features like Bot Behavior Improvements, new Scythe and Katars challenges to the preview in Offline Play, full localization in Turkish & Latin-American Spanish, and much more.

“The Grand Tournament is a perfect testing ground for Seven’s new creations. In between matches, she’ll often hop the fence to collect the leftover bits of weaponry and armor to build something out of.”

Seven launches with a new feature on her Spear Signature attack kit called Mode Swapping. Using Spear Down Signature will add or remove a flamethrower attachment to her Spear.

Normally, Seven’s Neutral, Side Spear, and Down Signatures are electricity based attacks, which are good for strings and combos.
With the flamethrower equipped, her Neutral, Side Spear, and Down Signatures are fire based attacks, which hit harder and are better for KOs.

We want these new supported languages to work best for you, the players that will be using them, so we’re treating them the same way we treat other Experimental features. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know on our socials like Twitter and Discord.

Bots have many different personality traits now! Some like to jump more, some like to aggress and dash, or maybe you fight a Bot that likes to stay back and see what you do! Depending on the difficulty level, the Bots will have better control of their movement options and have many different levels and combinations of these personality traits and more.

Easier Bots (“Easy” through “Medium”) are able to be defeated/overpowered much quicker.

More difficult Bots (“Hard” through “Chosen”)

Now utilize Dash and fast falling in ways they didn't before and make use of more subtle movement mechanics.
Now have the ability to “Weapon starve” (depending on the Bot) in different ways.

Beyond Glory, there is immortality! Get ready to collect your Glory and begin the Ranked climb once more.

Are you ready to take your place among the Legends and earn the highly coveted Valhallan Rank? The battles begin on January 10th, 2024!

With the Brawlhalla World Championship behind us, we are now in the official esports offseason. The esports offseason is a time where we can be more experimental with competitive gameplay updates.

During this offseason, you can look forward to new competitive features like the recently graduated Backdash update, a new tournament Map pool, and more frequent balance changes leading up to the start of Esports Year Nine. With each change, we will be sure to monitor feedback closely.

In Patch 8.01, the tournament Map pool was updated to feature a selection of Maps that encourage counter-picking during a best-of-three or best-of-five set in competitive play.

Competitors can now choose from a diverse selection of Maps that fit specific platform archetypes. The increased Map pool size and variety of archetypes creates situations for players to ban opponents to the kinds of Maps they want to play on. Counter picking should now have a more tangible impact on the Map pool than previously.

We’re excited to see a wider variety of competitive Maps be selected in Brawlhalla Esports Year Nine!/i]

Here are the changes to the tournament Map pool in this patch:
Small Brawlhaven and Apocalypse have been removed from the 1v1 and 2v2 tournament Map pool.
Small World's End and Bikini Bottom have been added to the 1v1 and 2v2 tournament Map pool.
Fixed a bug on Bikini Bottom where players would get instantly KO’d if they got hit into the coral spike at the bottom.
Art adjustments to Halo to improve the readability of the edges of the platform.

To support the tournament Map pool getting larger in size, here’s a reminder that we added a new feature in 8.02 to help you curate the Maps that you play in Ranked:

Players can now ban two Maps individually in all queues.

We are also working on an update to Color exclusion rules and Mishima Dojo to address issues seeing certain Colors on this Map. If you have feedback on the Map pool, remember to let us know on Twitter & Discord.

Hold to Dodge is a new Test Feature that allows players to hold down the Dodge button while being hit so that they can Dodge on the first available frame. Everyone can try out this feature by enabling Test Features in Custom Games or by playing in the Experimental queue.

Hold to Dodge
If you press and hold the Dodge button after getting hit, you will attempt to Dodge in the held direction on the first available frame after hitstun.
This helps make the windows for escaping strings available to players of all skill levels and limits button mashing.
Please share all of your feedback with us on our socials like Twitter and Discord! For more information, visit https://www.brawlhalla.com/news/red-raptor-cross-inventory-new-test-features-and-more-patch-7-09#:~:text=Please%20share%20all%20of%20your%20feedback%20with%20us%20on%20our%20socials%20like%20Twitter%20and%20Discord!%20For%20more%20information%2C%20visit%20brawlhalla.com/test-features..

This balance pass is the second of the three waves of balance during the esports offseason. It contains several improvements to key attacks for underperforming Weapons, further updates to Gauntlets and Rocket Lance stun values, and improvements to a number of underused Signatures. You can look forward to the final offseason balance pass in the next patch.

Axe
We have reduced the Damage of the Axe Neutral Light to better match its wide coverage and lengthy Hit Window. The Axe Down Light now has longer Recover time on miss for a clearer opportunity to retaliate against this sizable attack.
Axe Neutral Light: Decreased Damage from 19 to 17.
Axe Down Light: Increased Recover time on miss from 12 Fixed/11 Variable to 14 Fixed/11 Variable.

Blasters

The Blasters lack of threat near the user has caused this Weapon to fall behind the others with the recent Dash enhancements, as it is now easier than ever to maneuver into the dead zone of this Weapon. We have increased the threat coverage near the user for the first blast of the Down Light to provide a high-risk, high-reward option in those situations.
Blasters Down Light: Increased threat coverage near the user during the first blast.

Gauntlets

The recent Stun reduction of the Gauntlets Neutral Air has proven to be too severe of a decrease at the early-to-mid health ranges. We have increased the Stun, which now sits just below its previous value in order to maintain a Dodge Window before a Gravity Cancel Side Light follow-up at mid-health ranges.
Gauntlets Neutral Air: Increased Stun from 12 to 15.

Orb

The Orb can often struggle to score knockouts with its base kit, so we have slightly increased the Force of the Side Air. This provides a greater reward to compensate for the Side Air's low total threat coverage and short Hit Window and brings it closer in line with similar options on other Weapons.
Orb Side Air: Increased Force from 55 Fixed/40 Variable to 55 Fixed/42 Variable.

Rocket Lance

We have restored most of the previously reduced Stun on the back end of the Rocket Lance Neutral Air, to provide consistently greater Frame Advantage when striking with the latter half of the attack. This still maintains tight Dodge Windows before most follow-up attacks.
Rocket Lance Neutral Air: Slightly increased Stun from a range of 29~18 to a range of 29~24.

Sword

The Sword Down Air now has greater Stun for tighter Dodge Windows before follow-up attacks. This firmly establishes the Down Air as a chief option for continued strings and greater potential damage.
Sword Down Air: Increased Stun from 16 to 18.

Ezio

Ezio's Side Orb would often inflict very little Damage when striking from a distance, so we have focused most of this attack's Damage into that final hit to increase its expected value. We have also slightly increased the total Damage of this attack to better match other similar Signatures. Ezio's Side Sword now has greater Force to better match the reward on hit to the risk of its total duration on miss.
Ezio Side Orb: Increased total Damage from 22 to 24; Focused the Damage more on the final hit.
Ezio Side Sword: Increased Force from 50 Fixed/50 Variable to 50 Fixed/52 Variable.

Fait

We have reduced the Minimum Charge time of Fait's Down Scythe for more reliable use. This allows for a quicker response when using it to teleport and punish an opponent's missed attack, or when using it as a surprise approach tool.
Fait Down Scythe: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 7.

Mako

Mako's Side Katars now have significantly less Minimum Charge time to compensate for its relatively low total threat coverage and short reach from the user.
Mako Side Katars: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 16 to 12.

Vector

We have increased the Force and Damage of Vector's Down Rocket Lance to better fit its niche usage and provide more consistent reward in a wider variety of situations.
Vector Down Rocket Lance: Increased Damage from 9 per projectile to 11 per projectile; Increased Force from 55 Fixed/49 Variable to 55 Fixed/51 Variable.

Zariel

Zariel's Side Gauntlets now has greater Minimum Charge time to better match its total threat coverage and significant reach.
Zariel Side Gauntlets: Increased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 13.

Gameplay
Improved the Dash Dancing challenge.
Art & Animation
Additional Emote animation adjustments on SpongeBob.
User Interface
New “Meet the Legends grid, now separated into pages!
Added a “Mythic” filter to Mallhalla on mobile platforms.
Adjusted scale & placement for SpongeBob and Patrick in the pre-match and Meet the Legends screens.

Gameplay
Fixed a bug where if a player got hit within 2 frames of their Chase Dodge after a Gravity Cancel, they would get the grounded Dodge cool down.
Fixed a bug where a player could get around the grounded Dodge cooldown from Gravity Cancels by Chase Dodging in certain scenarios.
Fixed a bug where the Sensei was unable to complete the Advanced Gauntlet String challenge.

User Experience
Fixed a bug where players’ spectate delay settings would not save.
Fixed a bug where the Crystal Clutch Gauntlets were missing from players’ inventory.

Art & Animation
Fixed a bug where SpongeBob would face the wrong way when doing the Buddy version of the Fist Bump Emote.

Koji Sensei has 2 new challenges for you to start practicing! Introducing “Two Fundamental Hammer KO Combos” and “Two Fundamental Sword Combos”. These join the ever-expanding preview for Brawlhalla’s “Challenge” System.

Two Fundamental Hammer KO Combos

The Hammer is a great Weapon for KO-ing your opponent. Here are two fundamental Hammer KO combos that are true. Try these when your opponent's damage is high enough. Notice that one KO's from the side and the other from the ceiling. Be aware of your position when choosing which to use!

Two Fundamental Sword Combos

It's always smart to know what your tools are for KO-ing your opponent. Here are two fundamental Sword KO combos that are true. It's important to note that one KO's from the side and the other from the ceiling. Choose wisely when you are in battle!

This balance pass is the first of several during the esports off-season. This one contains a few targeted changes at reining in certain damage-specific combo starters on overperforming weapons, while providing improvements to some key tools that were shown to be lacking during the Autumn Championship and Autumn Royale. This patch also contains Loki's first balance pass, which makes him legal for all official Brawlhalla tournaments.

Battle Boots
The Battle Boots Side Light now has slightly less rear threat coverage at the beginning of the Hit Window, allowing more consistent dodges through this attack. Similarly, we have decreased the threat coverage of the Battle Boots Down Light. We have also decreased the Hit Window for more reliable dodges and counterattacks against the Down Light, and we have increased the Recover time on miss to keep the total duration of the attack the same.

Battle Boots Side Light: Decreased threat coverage toward the rear of the attack.
Battle Boots Down Light: Decreased threat coverage at the beginning of the attack; Decreased Hit Window from 5 to 4; Increased total Recover time on miss from 15 Fixed/15 Variable to 16 Fixed/15 Variable.

Blasters
The Blasters Neutral Air is an important tool in continuing pressure against an airborne opponent, as well as providing a defensive option when recovering back to stage. We have brought the Time to Hit slightly closer to its previous value to aid in these situations, given the inherent dead-zones in the Blasters’ far-reaching threat coverage.

Blasters Neutral Air: Decreased Time to Hit from 10 to 9.

Gauntlets
The Gauntlets Neutral Light would previously take too long to score knockouts, even when the opponent was far into red health, so we have increased the Force to provide more timely knockouts when compared to other similar attacks. The Gauntlets Neutral Air now has significantly less Stun to require tighter timing on team combos, to provide wider escape windows when off-stage against this weapon, and to open a dodge window between this attack and the Neutral Light.

Gauntlets Neutral Light: Increased Force from 44 Fixed/40 Variable to 46 Fixed/42 Variable.
Gauntlets Neutral Air: Decreased Stun from 16 to 12.

Greatsword
We have reduced the Time to Hit for the Greatsword Neutral Finisher from Down Bridge for more consistent strikes against opponents who opt for a dash between Greatsword chain attacks. The Greatsword Down Air had too much freedom of movement for its range and utility, so we have reduced the maximum allowed acceleration to be closer in line with other similar attacks.

Greatsword Neutral Finisher (from Down Bridge): Decreased Time to Hit from 15 to 14; Slightly increased threat coverage near the user.
Greatsword Down Air: Slightly decreased maximum allowed acceleration during the attack; Greatly decreased maximum allowed acceleration on miss.

Orb
The Orb Recovery now maintains the upper range of its Stun value for a longer portion of the Hit Window. This provides a more consistent frame advantage for most of the Hit Window. We have also increased the lower range of Force near the end of this attack for more consistent knockouts when striking at the very end of the Hit Window.

Orb Recovery: Increased Force from a range of 75~60 Fixed/44~36 Variable to a range of 75~60 Fixed/44~40 Variable; Hit Window maintains the upper range of 35~25 Stun for a longer period of time.

Rocket Lance
The Rocket Lance Neutral Air's Stun now has a sharper decrease over the course of its duration and a slightly lower starting value. This will maintain a more steady frame advantage value regardless of what part of the arc strikes the opponent, which opens dodge windows between the Neutral Air and follow-up attacks.

Rocket Lance Neutral Air: Decreased Stun from a range of 32~27 to a range of 29~18.

Scythe
The Scythe Down Air now has less Force for the forward version to better match the backwards Active Input version. This decrease in Force maintains the dodge window between the Down Air and other follow-up attacks for a broader range of health values, for more reliable escapes when recovering back to the stage.

Scythe Down Air: Decreased Force of the forward aerial version from 52 Fixed/30 Variable to 52 Fixed/24 Variable; Decreased Force of the forward grounded version from 20 Fixed/30 Variable to 20 Fixed/24 Variable.

Spear
We have decreased the Stun of Spear Side Light to widen dodge windows between large follow-up attacks such as the Neutral Air or certain Signatures, as well as requiring a tighter input from the user to consistently follow-up with a Down Light. The Spear Side Air has also received a decrease in Stun to open a dodge window between follow-up attacks, like the Neutral Light.

Spear Side Light: Decreased Stun from 19 to 17.
Spear Side Air: Decreased Stun from 22 to 20.

Azoth
Azoth's Neutral Bow would often be too slow to catch an opponent's high degree of aerial mobility, so it now has a faster Minimum Charge time for more reliable use as an anti-air.

Azoth Neutral Bow: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 15 to 13.

Loki
Loki's Side Scythe was too quick for its total threat coverage and power, so we have increased its Minimum Charge time and Recover time to allow more room to dodge and respond against this attack. We have also decreased its maximum vertical threat coverage to make it easier to contest from above. Loki's Down Katars has received a decrease in Damage to better match its overall range and utility.

Loki Side Scythe: Decreased maximum vertical threat coverage; Increased Minimum Charge time from 13 to 16; Increased total Recover time from 20 to 22.
Loki Down Katars: Decreased Damage from 24 to 22.

Sentinel
Sentinel's Down Hammer has received an increase in Damage to better match its long Time to Hit and telegraphed movement.

Sentinel Down Hammer: Increased total Damage from 22 to 25.

Sir Roland
Sir Roland's Side Sword now has a faster Minimum Charge time to better match its lengthy commitment and duration. We have also shifted the Damage to focus on the final hit, as it would previously deal far too little Damage when striking with only the stab. Sir Roland's Down Sword now has greater Force since it would previously take too long to score knockouts with the middle and end of the attack when compared to other similar attacks.

Sir Roland Side Sword: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 15 to 13; Shifted Damage to be mostly focused on the final hit.
Sir Roland Down Sword: Increased Force from 68 Fixed/48 Variable to 68 Fixed/50 Variable.

Yumiko
It was previously too easy to maneuver around Yumiko's Down Bow projectiles, so we have reduced the Recover time of this Signature so the user can apply more consistent pressure after using this unique attack.

Yumiko Down Bow: Decreased Fixed Recover time from 18 to 16.

Gameplay

Players can now ban two Maps individually in all queues!
All platforms have a new option in System Settings: Spectate Delay. Select “Speed” for a 1 second delay, or “quality” for a 3 second delay.

Chests are now available in one tab in Mallhalla!

Gameplay

Fixed a bug where players using a controller could not back out from the "rename local player" menu.
Fixed a bug where Gadget drop shadows were visible before the Gadget spawned.
Fixed a bug where the achievement/trophy for playing 30 Matchmade games required the player to play 50 Matchmade games.

New Down Hammer changes: Cassidy will now throw her lasso and trap her opponents in it.

Bonus: Also reworked on Globox!

New Side Hammer: Charge variant will perform the original Down Hammer tornado signature. The uncharged Side Hammer remains unchanged.

Also graduating from Experimental – the startup time for backdash has been decreased both in neutral and during dash dancing to be more symmetrical with forward dash.

Now, just like forward dash, you can attack out of a backdash freely.

Other than the slightly reduced impulse speed compared to forward dash, there is no penalty for performing a backdash anymore.

Introducing a new setting in the “System Settings” menu. Spectators can now control the amount of delay when spectating a match. Select "Quality" for a 3 second delay, or "Speed" for a 1 second delay. Players on Steam can still type the launch option to accurately set their delay.
