The Dwarves of Ivaldi have been working to once again repair all damaged weapons and armor in preparation for a brand new Ranked Season! Ranked Season 34 began the moment Season 33 ended, because in Valhalla, Legends need no rest in their quest for eternal glory. 🥊 ⚔️
Speaking of Glory, check your pockets Ranked enthusiast Brawlers, and get ready for a shopping spree in the Ranked tab of Mallhalla! 😏
Amid the changing Season, one thing remains: the Blue Bomber himself continues to brawl for humans, robots, and everyone else in the Grand Tournament! Mega Man, the Beat Sidekick, the Rush Rocket Lance, and the rest of the Mega Man themed Items are still available. Follow Met in Mallhalla to find all the Mega Man themed items!.
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”, a currency that can only be earned by playing Ranked games. You can use it in the Ranked section of Malhalla to get special items 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.
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 33
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.
Beyond glory there is immortality! Check out new Skyforged and Goldforged Colors for Imugi alongside the full gallery of purchasable rewards in Mallhalla under the “Ranked” tab.
Spend your hard-earned Glory on those or other 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!
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 October 16th at 5am ET/9am GMT. 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 ET/2am PT).
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.
Seasonal Ranked Queue:
Season 34 introduces three all-new Ranked Game Modes in the Seasonal Ranked Queue! Each Game Mode will reset at 5am ET on the date indicated.
10/2: Ranked 2v2 Oddbrawl

This balance pass contains further adjustments for our newest Legends, and some improvements for key Signatures on older Legends, as it brings us into the balance lock for the World Championship.
Ada
Ada's Neutral Blasters now has significantly greater threat coverage along the blasts, as well as significantly improved setup consistency leading into the final blast. We have also significantly increased the maximum Force of Ada's Down Blasters to better match its overall risk and total commitment time.
Neutral Blasters: Greatly increased threat coverage towards the user for the grounded and aerial blasts; Improved setup logic for the grounded blasts; Slightly decreased maximum horizontal travel during the blasts for greater consistency into the final blast.
Down Blasters: Increased Force from a range of 55~30 Fixed/45~20 Variable to a range of 60~30 Fixed/52~20 Variable.
Diana
Diana's Down Blasters now has less Minimum Charge time for more reliable use in the neutral game and as a punish option. This Signature also has less Recover time on miss to help offset its lengthy total commitment.
Down Blasters: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 11 to 9; Decreased total Recover time on miss from 21 to 19.
Ember
We have decreased the Minimum Charge time of Ember's Neutral Katars for more responsive use as an anti-air attack. We have also decreased this Signature's Recover time to help offset its lengthy total commitment.
Neutral Katars: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 7 to 6; Decreased total Recover time from 20 to 18.
Imugi
Imugi's Side Greatsword now has greater Recover time to allow a wider opportunity to retaliate against this Signature. It also has less vertical threat coverage near the end of the Hit Window to allow for easier escapes and approaches. Imugi's Down Greatsword now has greater Minimum Charge time to allow a wider opportunity to evade or interrupt this versatile Signature. We have increased the Time to Hit of the initial strike of Imugi's Side Axe to better match its threat coverage and bring it in line with other similar attacks.

Down Greatsword: Increased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 12.

We have adjusted the Hurtbox of Vivi's Neutral Battle Boots to keep it from evading over low grounded attacks and gadgets. We have also increased the Recover time of Vivi's Down Battles Boots to grant an even wider opportunity to line up a punish after evading or maneuvering around this attack.
Neutral Battle Boots: Lowered Hurtbox to not evade certain low grounded attacks.
Down Boots: Increased total Recover time from 20 to 22.
Wu Shang
Wu Shang's Neutral Spear now has less Force to better match its utility and relatively wide threat coverage.

For the full list of details and to see how you can participate in the Game Performance test, check out the full blog post!
Game Performance
We’re testing out a fix for reported graphical stutters on Steam using the “tech-test” branch.
To help us test this update:
Right click on Brawlhalla in your Steam library, select “Properties”, navigate to “Betas”, and select “tech-test – Testing new engine tech”. Then, navigate to “General” of Brawlhalla Properties, and in the launch options text field enter “-framefix -setfps 240”. (Change 240 to whatever the maximum hz your monitor is capable of, generally 144, 240, or 360.)
Skirmishes
Skirmishes will be a type of in-game event that splits players into several personal preference themed teams called “Factions” to compete against each other for points called “Influence.” Players earn Influence for their Faction when playing Brawlhalla, and players get bonus Influence for their Factions by playing Ranked against the opposing Factions! The Faction with the most Influence when the Skirmish ends is the winner.
Skirmishes will not be a new Game Mode. It’s a whole new thing. When you log in, you will choose a Faction and get Items based on that faction, like a Title and an Avatar. The winning Faction will get special versions of those Items. Skirmishes are limited time Events that will last around 1-2 weeks, and each Skirmish is a unique theme with unique rewards. We are looking to launch the first Skirmish in October and we’ll have more information on it as we get closer to the date.
UI Refresh First Look
Viewers of the stream got a first look at the first ever major Brawlhalla UI overhaul!
After last year’s refresh of our logo and branding we were inspired to link the in-game UI with this new aesthetic. You’ll notice Legend splash arts in Legend select, a brand new look for the top right player menu, new fonts, all new buttons, and many many other things.
Damage Numbers
This highly-requested new opt-in feature will give an option for players to toggle on a view that displays how much Damage their Legend has taken. On-release this option will be available to select in the top right Player Menu.

Recently, some players have reported experiencing graphical stutters during gameplay on PC especially on high refresh rate monitors. We hear you and have been hard at work on it. We have made optimizations recently to improve performance, but today we are releasing a build on the Steam tech-test branch that specifically targets this issue. Additionally, we are preparing to upgrade this client from 32-bit to 64-bit in the future, which may offer potential improvements as it allows the game to utilize much more memory on the machine.
To help us test this update:
Right click on Brawlhalla in your Steam library, select “Properties”, navigate to “Betas”, and select “tech-test – Testing new engine tech”. Then, navigate to “General” of Brawlhalla Properties, and in the launch options text field enter “-framefix -setfps 240”. (Change 240 to whatever the maximum hz your monitor is capable of, generally 144, 240, or 360.)
Game performance is an ongoing effort and a never-ending part of development. We understand that in a fighting game like Brawlhalla every millisecond counts. We are always monitoring and investigating performance reports and your game experience is extremely important to us. We appreciate your help and feedback as we continue to optimize and improve the smooth performance of the game.
In the past, Brawlhalla’s UI has had few changes. We landed on a UI that we were comfortable with and now it’s long overdue for an overhaul. So today we’re excited to show y’all a first pass of the UI update! After last year’s refresh of our logo and branding we were inspired to link the in-game UI with this new aesthetic. You’ll notice Legend splash arts in Legend select, a brand new look for the top right player menu, new fonts, all new buttons, and many many other things.
You, the community, have requested Damage Numbers for a long time. And here’s a first look at it! This is an opt-in feature found in the top right player menu. Toggling Damage Numbers on adds a number in-game next to each health bar that shows the exact damage that each player has taken. This is for highly competitive players who want to capitalize on specific damage thresholds to optimize play and for practicing when to go for those KO options.
Brawlhalla has been around for almost a decade… let that sink in. We’re kicking off our 10th Anniversary celebrations at BCX this year. We’ll be seeing some of the biggest announcements & reveals in Brawlhalla history while watching the most competitive tournament of Esports Season 9. There will be non-stop entertainment at the event and for those watching at home. Go to BCX.LIVE to sign up as a spectator or competitor for this historic Expo. Play games and activities with friends, be part of the energy in the crowd, and make lifelong memories. See y’all there!
Skirmishes are a type of in-game event that splits players into several personal preference themed teams called “Factions” to compete against each other for points called “Influence.” Players earn Influence for their Faction when playing Brawlhalla, and players get bonus Influence for their Factions by playing Ranked against the opposing Factions! The Faction with the most Influence when the Skirmish ends is the winner.
Skirmishes is not a new Game Mode. It’s a whole new thing. When you log in, you will choose a Faction and get Items based on that faction, like a Title and an Avatar. The winning Faction will get special versions of those Items. Skirmishes are limited time Events that will last around 1-2 weeks, and each Skirmish is a unique theme with unique rewards. We are looking to launch the first Skirmish in October and we’ll have more information on it as we get closer to the date.

Imugi
We have decreased the Damage of Imugi's Side Axe to bring the reward in line with its general utility. Similarly, Imugi's Down Greatsword now has significantly greater Recover time on miss and deals less Damage to better match its high degree of utility. Imugi's Side Greatsword now has greater Minimum Charge time, granting a wider window to interrupt or evade this Signature. Some of this lost total Damage has been shifted into the Neutral Greatsword anti-air, but we have also adjusted the Force for less knockback distance at most health ranges while maintaining the knockout potential at late health ranges. As this marks his first balance adjustments after release, Imugi is now legal for all official tournaments.
Side Axe: Decreased total Damage from 23 to 21.
Neutral Greatsword: Increased total Damage from 22 to 24; Changed Force from 50 Fixed/45 Variable to 40 Fixed/48 Variable.
Side Greatsword: Increased Minimum Charge time from 14 to 17.
Down Greatsword: Increased total Recover time on miss from 18 to 24; Decreased total Damage from 26 to 23.
Gameplay
Decreased Bubble Bomb Force Multiplier by 32% for more appropriate knockout power.
Made various performance improvements relating to shadows and other known issues.
Mallhalla
New filter option: “Base Type” – allows Skins to be filtered by their corresponding Legend & Weapon Skins to be filtered by Weapon.
UX
Removed “leader chooses” from Couch Party games.
Players can now send or accept an invite from the scoreboard screen on mobile.
Localization
Updated Turkish localization for ”Battle Pass”, “Season”, and “Progress”.
Level-up items have been renamed to their proper name, “Progression” (all languages).
Updated Portuguese Localizations for Hardlight Weapons, Asgardian Shoto Lightsabers, and “You May Call Me…” Title.
Updated the translations for the “Tryhard” Title in Spain & Latin-American Spanish.
Art & Animation
Fixed a bug where the hit-react FX weren’t appearing for players being damaged by Imugi’s Signature Attacks.
Fixed an issue where Seven's spear would sometimes not color swap correctly in her Character Select animation.
