Bakko's Egg Brawl Returns!

Duel is out and Bakko's Egg Brawl is in! Magical eggs are hidden within the Arena; find them (as Bakko) with your team (of other Bakkos) and throw them at your enemy! A variety of eggs and custom Battlerites are here for you to discover and try out in this wacky, chaotic game mode. The old system of Battlerites (choosing one per round) has returned for this mode.

Win 15 Rounds of Bakko's Egg Brawl and receive the Golden Rooster Chest, containing the Golden Rooster and 2 random Rare items. You have until April 11th to claim your prize!

Spring Chicken Bundle

Spring has got Bakko clucking! For a limited time the Spring Chicken Bundle is purchasable for 750 Gems. This bundle contains the Epic Chicken Outfit for Bakko in 5 color variations and 3 Epic Rooster Mounts and is purchasable until April 11th.

UI
  • Fixed a bug where the friendslist showed incorrect status for players in the pre-game lobby
  • Fixed a bug where the dropdown menu of an offline friend in the friendslist would sometimes show invalid entries
  • Shortened the "Grand Champion" Pre-Season title, as it was too long to see the entirety
  • Changed the Leaderboard to show 8 entries instead of 9 so that chat is easier to read when unfocused
  • Reduced the time it takes to fetch user profiles
  • Fixed visual representation errors for teams in the profile
  • Added new artwork into the loading screen rotation: Ulric, Rook, Thorn, Pestilus, Jumong, and Blossom
  • Leaderboards should now correctly default to the closest region to the player

Sound
  • Music for the final round now starts when players spawn into the Arena
  • Intro music added to tutorials for battles
  • Sounds for Jamila's counter improved (more prominent)

CamCrew
  • An update to Battlerite CamCrew has been rolled out, read up on it (and watch the video) here.

New Champion - Ulric, the Unwavering Light

Sworn protector of the weak, devout follower of the Way of Symphony, and unwavering light against the dark. Ulric, trained in the holy Monastery of Resonance, has spent many years traveling the lands to spread the word of the Light. He joins the Arena now to demonstrate to allies, foes, and onlookers alike the primacy of the True Path.

Battlerite - sls_Liz


Patch 1.4.1 was rolled out on March 14, 2018. Patching begins at 9:00 CET and downtime is scheduled for 2 hours.

General Updates

New Feature: Twitch Live Stream Indicator

Players now have the option to display that they are live streaming Battlerite on Twitch.tv in the menu UI. This indicator is currently supported in the solo Leaderboards, Profile, and Friends List. The indicator also provides a direct link to the live channel in the users preferred browser.
  • To use this feature, you must have linked your Twitch account in Options > Account
  • The Twitch Live Stream Indicator is turned on by default. It can be disabled in Options > General > Misc (this option is only shown if you have already linked your Twitch account)
  • The indicator will only apply when you are Live on the Twitch account you have linked your Battlerite account with and tagged Battlerite as the game you are playing.
  • It can take between 5-15 minutes for the menu to update from when a player started live streaming

Free Team Name Change

Due to a bug some teams did not receive their free team name change after Patch 1.4 was released. All teams who should have received a free team name change should have now received one. One free team name change will be given to all teams who complete placement each Season. More information about team name changes can be read in the 1.4 Patch Notes.

New Unity Version

A new Unity version of Battlerite is available for players interested in testing. Please note that this version is still in its beginning phase of implementation.

While initially this version was available to all players, it has now been restricted with a password. If you are interested in trying out this version, please submit a ticket to support.battlerite.com with the title "Request for New Unity Version Access" and under the category of "Other."

This version of Battlerite is meant to assist players who are struggling with game crashes in DirectX 11. We will try to keep this branch up to date with the live version, but there is a possibility it will lag behind a day or two in updates.

Matchmaking Adjustments

Some players may have noticed an increase in the amount of double support compositions in both Casual and League matchmaking. Before Patch 1.4, teams would be restricted to single support compositions.

With Patch 1.4 we removed this composition restriction. This was an adjustment to improve queue times and allow matches to be balance better by player skill and less according to Champions or archetypes.

According to our collected data, double support compositions have the same win ratio as single support compositions. However due to the feedback received by this change we've decided to tone down the amount of double support compositions. Players will now be restricted to single support compositions unless a player they are matched with has been in the queue for longer than 5 minutes.

We will continue to monitor data and listen to feedback so that we can better adjust this system as necessary.

General Updates

New Feature: Twitch Live Stream Indicator

  • To use this feature, you must have linked your Twitch account in Options > Account
  • The Twitch Live Stream Indicator is turned on by default. It can be disabled in Options > General > Misc (this option is only shown if you have already linked your Twitch account)
  • The indicator will only apply when you are Live on the Twitch account you have linked your Battlerite account with and tagged Battlerite as the game you are playing.
  • It can take between 5-15 minutes for the menu to update from when a player started live streaming

Due to a bug some teams did not receive their free team name change after Patch 1.4 was released. All teams who should have received a free team name change should have now received one. One free team name change will be given to all teams who complete placement each Season. More information about team name changes can be read in the 1.4 Patch Notes.
