Plus you can keep your favorite Loading Frames, UI Themes, and Victory/Defeat Emotes pinned to the first page for quicker swapping! 

Brawlers can now equip Companions on any Legend or Crossover! 

• We’ve added a slot to select them in between the Sidekick and Stance pickers in the Legend Select screen. 
• There’s also an option to select “No Companion,” in case you want to go solo. 

Can’t choose between your favorite Victory/Defeat Emotes, Loading Frames, or UI Themes? Neither can we! That’s why we’ve added support to select favorites for all of these cosmetic items in the inventory menu. 

• There’s no limit to the amount of favorites you can choose!

Balance

This balance pass improves follow-up attacks and reward on hit for a few underperforming Weapons, while increasing risk and opening Dodge Windows for several overperforming Weapons. We have also increased the reward for a number of underused Signature attacks and decreased the reward for several of the most used Signatures in recent tournaments. This patch also marks the first adjustments for Priya and the new Chakram Weapon, making them legal for use in official tournaments.

Blasters

The Blasters Neutral Light now has greater Stun and leaves the opponent in a closer location for greatly improved follow-up attacks. The Blasters Side Light also now has greater Stun to provide combo opportunities.

• Blasters Neutral Light: Increased Stun from 20 to 21; Decreased Force from 52 Fixed/0 Variable to 42 Fixed/0 Variable.
• Blasters Side Light: Increased Stun from 22 to a range of 24~18; Decreased Damage from 15 to 10.

 

Chakram

We have greatly decreased the amount of allowed acceleration and movement during the Chakram aerial attacks to grant clearer opportunities to chase down and punish these attacks. The Fused Chakram Side Light and Side Air have received greater Force to bring the reward for the Fused mode closer in line with other Weapons. The Split Chakram Neutral Light now has less Stun and provides a consistent Frame Advantage to guarantee Dodge Windows for certain follow-up attacks, but also has slightly less Recover time on hit to provide a smoother feel in use. Similarly, the Split Chakram Neutral Air now has less Stun and provides a consistent Frame Advantage to guarantee Dodge Windows, and also impulses the user during the first hit to provide more consistent locations on hit. We have also decreased the Stun of the Split Chakram Down Air to provide Dodge Windows between follow-up attacks. The Split Chakram Recovery now has less Force to better match this kit’s string potential.

• Chakram Aerial Attacks: Decreased the amount of allowed acceleration.
• Chakram Fused Side Light: Increased Force from 70 Fixed/30 Variable to 70 Fixed/35 Variable.
• Chakram Fused Side Air: Increased Force from 58 Fixed/40 Variable to 60 Fixed/43 Variable.
• Chakram Fused Down Air: Decreased Force of the aerial version from 60 Fixed/40 Variable to 60 Fixed/38 Variable.
• Chakram Split Neutral Light: Decreased Stun from 22 to a range of 19~15; Decreased total Recover time on hit from 11 to 9.
• Chakram Split Neutral Air: Decreased Stun from 25 to a range of 23~19; Impulse applied to the user now occurs on the first hit as well; Slightly increased impulse applied to the user.
• Chakram Split Down Air: Decreased Stun of the final hit of the aerial version from 19 to a range of 17~16; Decreased Stun of the close grounded version from 25 to a range of 23~21; Increased Stun of the far grounded version from 18 to a range of 19~17.
• Chakram Split Recovery: Decreased Force from 61 Fixed/40 Variable to 61 Fixed/38 Variable.

 

Gauntlets

We have increased the Time to Hit of Gauntlets Side Air to open a Dodge Window after a Down Light. The Gauntlets Recovery now has greater Recover time on miss to bring the risk of this attack closer in line with its considerable reward and utility.

• Gauntlets Side Air: Increased Time to Hit from 12 to 13.
• Gauntlets Recovery: Increased total Recover time on miss from 8 Fixed/12 Variable to 12 Fixed/12 Variable.

 

Greatsword

The window for movement inputs like Dash, Dodge, or Jump has been greatly delayed after missing a Greatsword Neutral Light or Side Light Opener to provide a larger window to counterattack against these string starters. The Stun of Neutral Light and Side Light Bridge attacks now provide a consistent Frame Advantage on hit to guarantee Dodge Windows between certain follow-up attacks.

• Greatsword Neutral Light Opener: Delayed the dash/dodge/jump cancel window on miss from 21 to 26.
• Greatsword Side Light Opener: Delayed the dash/dodge/jump cancel window on miss from 19 to 24; Delayed the walk cancel window from 24 to 29.
• Greatsword Neutral Light Bridge (from Side Light Opener): Changed Stun from 15 to a range of 15~11.
• Greatsword Neutral Light Bridge (from Down Light Opener): Changed Stun from 17 to a range of 17~8.
• Greatsword Side Light Bridge (from Neutral Light Opener): Changed Stun from 16 to a range of 16~7.
• Greatsword Side Light Bridge (from Down Light Opener): Changed Stun from 14 to a range of 14~5.

 

Hammer

The Hammer Neutral Light, Side Light, Neutral Air, and Side Air have all received increases to their reward on hit. This leans into the Hammer’s identity of powerful hits and brings it closer in line with the reward curve of other Weapons.

• Hammer Neutral Light: Increased Damage from 18 to 19.
• Hammer Side Light: Increased Damage from a range of 17~15 to a range of 19~17.
• Hammer Neutral Air: Increased Damage from 20 to 22.
• Hammer Side Air: Increased Damage from a range of 20~18 to a range of 22~20.

 

Katars

The Katars Neutral Light, Side Light, Down Light, and Side Air have all received decreases to their Damage. This leans into the Katars’ identity of using many quick but small hits and brings it closer in line with the reward curve of other Weapons.

• Katars Neutral Light: Decreased Damage from 13 to 11.
• Katars Side Light: Decreased Damage from 11 to 8.
• Katars Down Light: Decreased Damage from 12 to 9.
• Katars Side Air: Decreased Damage from 16 to 14.

 

Rocket Lance

We have shifted some power from the Rocket Lance’s aerial kit into the ground kit in the form of greater Force for the Neutral Light. The Rocket Lance Neutral Air now has less allowed acceleration and speed during the attack to provide clearer opportunities to punish this expansive attack. The Rocket Lance Down Air now has less threat coverage near the user to provide wider avenues to contest or maneuver around this attack. We have increased the Time to Hit of the Rocket Lance Exhausted Recovery and decreased its Force as it was both too quick and too powerful for its overall utility.

• Rocket Lance Neutral Light: Increased Force from 40 Fixed/43 Variable to 42 Fixed/45 Variable.
• Rocket Lance Neutral Air: Decreased the allowed maximum speed and allowed acceleration during the attack and on miss.
• Rocket Lance Down Air: Decreased threat coverage near the user during the aerial version of the attack.
• Rocket Lance Exhausted Recovery: Increase Time to Hit from 10 to 12; Decreased Force from 58 Fixed/54 Variable to 53 Fixed/50 Variable.

 

Sword

The Sword kit provides flexible coverage that allows for a high degree of stage control, so we have increased the risk associated with a number of key attacks to grant larger openings against this Weapon. The Neutral Light, Side Light, Down Light, and Down Air now have greater Recover time on miss. We have also slightly increased the Time to Hit of the Down Light to better match its reward and utility. The Side Air and Down Air also allow less acceleration on miss to provide greater opportunities to counter these versatile attacks.

• Sword Neutral Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 4 Fixed/15 Variable to 8 Fixed/15 Variable.
• Sword Side Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/21 Variable to 9 Fixed/21 Variable.
• Sword Down Light: Increased Time to Hit from 8 to 9; Increased Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/20 Variable to 10 Fixed/22 Variable.
• Sword Side Air: Decreased amount of allowed acceleration during the attack and on miss.
• Sword Down Air: Decreased amount of allowed acceleration during the attack and on miss; Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/24 Variable to 7 Fixed/24 Variable.

 

Azoth

We have significantly increased the Force of Azoth’s Neutral Bow and Side Bow Signatures to better match their long total duration and overall risk.

• Azoth Neutral Bow: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/56 Variable to 65 Fixed/60 Variable.
• Azoth Side Bow: Increased Force from a range of 76~55 Fixed/54~48 Variable to a range of 76~55 Fixed/58~52 Variable; Increased Damage from 23 to 25.

 

Ember

Ember’s Neutral Bow, Neutral Katars, and Side Katars now have significantly increased Force to better match her general glass cannon design, and to better fit the overall risk of her Katar Signatures.

• Ember Neutral Bow: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/51 Variable to 65 Fixed/55 Variable.
• Ember Neutral Katars: Increased Force from 75 Fixed/54 Variable to 75 Fixed/60 Variable.
• Ember Side Katars: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/51 Variable to 65 Fixed/54 Variable.

 

Lord Vraxx

We have increased the reward on hit for Lord Vraxx’s Side Rocket Lance, Down Rocket Lance, Neutral Blasters, and Down Blasters to bring these closer in line with other similar options on higher performing Legends.

• Lord Vraxx Side Rocket Lance: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/50 Variable to 65 Fixed/53 Variable.
• Lord Vraxx Down Rocket Lance: Increased Damage from 22 to 25.
• Lord Vraxx Neutral Blasters: Increased Force from 60 Fixed/55 Variable to 60 Fixed/57 Variable.
• Lord Vraxx Down Blasters: Increased Force from 70 Fixed/46 Variable to 70 Fixed/51 Variable.

 

Magyar

Magyar’s Down Greatsword, Side Hammer, and Down Hammer all now have much greater reward on hit to better match their relatively high accuracy requirements and significant risk.

• Magyar Down Greatsword: Increased Damage from 23 to 26; Increased Force from 55 Fixed/52 Variable to 55 Fixed/56 Variable.
• Magyar Side Hammer: Increased Damage from 22 to 28; Increased Force from 61 Fixed/52 Variable to 65 Fixed/56 Variable.
• Magyar Down Hammer: Increased Force of the aerial version from 60 Fixed/46 Variable to 60 Fixed/49 Variable; Increased Force of the ground version from 65 Fixed/56 Variable to 65 Fixed/58 Variable.

 

Nix

Nix’s Side Blasters and Down Blasters now provide greater reward on hit to better match their overall risk and lengthy total commitment.

• Nix Side Blasters: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/55 Variable to 65 Fixed/57 Variable.
• Nix Down Blasters: Increased Damage from 23 to 27; Increased Force from 60 Fixed/57 Variable to 60 Fixed/60 Variable.

 

Priya

Priya’s Neutral Chakram now has significantly greater Recover time on miss to provide a wider opportunity to close the gap and punish reckless use of this attack. Priya’s Side Chakram now has greater Recover time and less Force to equalize the risk and reward of this Signature. We have slightly increased the Recover time for Priya’s Down Chakram to grant a wider opportunity to counter this attack. Priya’s Neutral Sword now has less threat coverage at the edges of the attack and significantly greater Recover time on miss to provide a clearer window to close the gap and punish this attack where it recovers.

• Priya Neutral Chakram: Increased total Recover time on miss from 22 to 28.
• Priya Side Chakram: Increased total Recover time from 23 to 26; Decreased Force from 55 Fixed/50 Variable to 55 Fixed/48 Variable.
• Priya Down Chakram: Increased total Recover time from 19 to 21.
• Priya Neutral Sword: Decreased threat coverage at the extreme edges during the final hit; Increased total Recover time from 16 to 24.
• Because of these changes, Priya is now legal to use in official esports tournaments.

 

Ragnir

Ragnir’s Side Katars and Down Axe now have greater Force to bring them closer in line with other similar options on higher performing Legends.

• Ragnir Side Katars: Increased Force from 60 Fixed/51 Variable to 60 Fixed/53 Variable.
• Ragnir Down Axe: Increased Force from 75 Fixed/54 Variable to 75 Fixed/58 Variable.

 

Sir Roland

Sir Roland’s Neutral Rocket Lance has received a significant increase in Force to better match its lengthy total commitment and overall risk.

• Sir Roland Neutral Rocket Lance: Increased Force from 71 Fixed/55 Variable to 71 Fixed/59 Variable.

 

Ulgrim

Ulgrim’s Neutral Axe, Side Axe, Down Axe, Neutral Rocket Lance, and Side Rocket Lance have been overperforming in team game modes so we have significantly reduced their reward on hit to be closer in line with the majority of other Legends.

• Ulgrim Neutral Axe: Decreased Damage from 28 to 24.
• Ulgrim Side Axe: Decreased Force from 62 Fixed/56 Variable to 62 Fixed/51 Variable; Decreased Damage from 26 to 23.

• Ulgrim Side Rocket Lance: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/55 Variable to 70 Fixed/50 Variable; Decreased Damage from 26 to 22.

 

Wu Shang

Wu Shang has also overperformed in team game modes, so we have reduced the reward on hit for his Neutral Gauntlets, Side Gauntlets, Neutral Spear, and Side Spear to better match their high degree of utility and coverage.

• Wu Shang Neutral Gauntlets: Decreased Damage from 27 to 24.
• Wu Shang Side Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 60 Fixed/49 Variable to 60 Fixed/45 Variable.
• Wu Shang Neutral Spear: Decreased Damage from 26 to 22; Decreased Force from 60 Fixed/48 Variable to 60 Fixed/45 Variable.

New Legend – Priya

• Priya – “The Radiant Blade”
• Weapons: Chakram (NEW), Sword
• Stats: 4 Strength, 6 Dexterity, 5 Defense, 7 Speed
• “Armed with silk and sword, Priya became a symbol of strength and benevolence. Many followed in her footsteps, taking up the art of blade and dance to defend the meek.”

Priya debuts with 3 new Skins:

• Dark Harlequin Priya  – “She’ll get the last laugh.”
• Joyful Dancer Priya – “Celebrating the joy of life with each performance!”
• Chakora Priya – “Thriving off of the moonbeams, she shines and dances!”

New Weapon: Chakram!

Straight from Ulgrim’s forge, Chakram is the newest Weapon to be part of the Grand Tournament. Priya introduces it as the divine Sun Dusted Chakram, a gift from the gods for defending the people of her village from gloom raiders.

Chakram has a new ability – Mode Swapping. It can be wielded as a single, circular blade in Fused Mode, or dual-wielded in its Split Mode.

• Use the Down Light Attack to mode swap Chakram between Fused & Split Mode. 

• All Light Attacks have unique variations for each mode, including Down Light.
• Using Signature Attacks will not cause the Chakram to mode swap.

Priya may be the first, but she will not be the last to wield a Chakram in Valhalla! Just like every Weapon, more Legends equipped with Chakram will be released in the future.

 

Skyforged and Goldforged Chakram Skins are available to purchase with Glory now in the “Ranked” tab in Mallhalla. 

The Asgardian Chakram Skin is also available now in the Collector’s Pack and has been auto-granted on launch to everyone who previously purchased it.

Graduated Test Features

“Hold-to Dodge” and Sentinel’s Side Hammer Signature Attack Rework have graduated from Test Features and are now available in all queues! Thanks again to everyone who tested and gave feedback on our official socials.

Hold-to-Dodge 

You can now hold the Dodge button while in hitstun to immediately Dodge on the first available frame out of hitstun.

The Dodge button hold must begin to be pressed after the hitstun begins that you intend to Dodge out of, and continue to be held until the Dodge is executed.

• This means you can not simply hold the button down forever to always Dodge out of hitstun.
• This helps make the windows for escaping strings available to players of all skill levels and eliminates button mashing.

Sentinel Side Hammer’s Charge Variant 

In an effort to continue updating previous Legends with our new dev capabilities, we have added a Charged Variant to Sentinel’s Side Hammer Signature Attack. 

Years ago, this Signature was excellent at surprising opponents from a distance with a powerful leaping strike, but over time the speed of the game has increased and that distance has become less impactful. 

• Now, when this Signature is charged past a brief duration, Sentinel will perform a double swing that travels a much greater distance.
• The Uncharged Side Hammer remains the same.

Game Improvements

UX

• New “Try It” function in Mallhalla. Click the button to hop directly into Training Mode and try out a new Legend or Skin before you buy them!

UX

• Additional notes: none.

Learn from Lin Fei to become the ultimate Brawler in over 30 Challenges in this substantial update to the Challenges Preview.

The Challenges also cover a wide variety of difficulties so that brawlers of all skill levels can find something new to learn! 

The Challenges preview can be accessed in the Offline Play menu underneath the Tutorials button. 

 

Graduated Test Feature: Bubble Bomb

The Bubble Bomb is now available in all queues!

The following changes have been made to the pools.

• Apocalypse has been removed from the 1v1 and 2v2 Tournament Map Pool.

Bug Fixes

UI

UX

Balance

This patch contains a number of changes that provide more appropriate risk to certain key attacks in team gameplay and improvements to underutilized Signature attacks on some underperforming Legends.

Axe

The Axe Neutral Air was an overly safe option during team games that could retreat too quickly from an opponent after striking that opponent’s teammate. We have reduced the amount of allowed acceleration on hit to provide a wider opportunity to retaliate in this situation.

• Axe Neutral Air: Decreased the amount of allowed backwards acceleration on hit.

Battle Boots

The Battle Boots Ground Pound now has less threat coverage and the hurtbox has been adjusted to allow more attacks to reliably contest this Ground Pound from in front and below.

• Battle Boots Ground Pound: Slightly decreased threat coverage towards the front and bottom of the attack; Slightly shifted hurtbox downward during the kick.

Cannon

We have increased the Cooldown time on miss and hit for the Cannon Down Light, as repeat use of this attack could block attempts at retaliation from an opponent’s teammate too easily. The Cannon Down Air now has greater Recover time on miss for the ground version to grant a wider opportunity to punish reckless use of this attack.

• Cannon Down Light: Increased Cooldown time on miss from 16 to 17; Increased Cooldown time on hit from 12 to 15.
• Cannon Down Air: Increased total Recover time on miss for the ground version from 3 Fixed/20 Variable to 5 Fixed/20 Variable.

Gauntlets

The Gauntlets Neutral Air now has greater Recover time on miss to grant a wider opportunity to return to stage between Gauntlet attacks during an edgeguard, and to more easily retaliate against this quick attack.

• Gauntlets Neutral Air: Increased total Recover time from 5 Fixed/20 Variable to 7 Fixed/20 Variable.

Rocket Lance 

The Rocket Lance Neutral Air now has less allowed backwards acceleration on hit to grant a wider opportunity for opposing teammates to retaliate against this attack in team games.

• Rocket Lance Neutral Air: Decreased the amount of allowed backwards acceleration on hit.

Orb

We have increased the Cooldown time on miss for the Orb Side Air to allow a wider opportunity to retaliate against or maneuver around repeat use of this attack in the neutral game.

• Orb Side Air: Increased Cooldown time on miss from 12 to 15.

Scythe 

The Scythe Side Air and Down Air could rotate into other attacks too quickly for their coverage and potential reward, so we have increased their Recover time on miss to bring their risk in line with other similar options.

• Scythe Side Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 2 Fixed/25 Variable to 4 Fixed/25 Variable.
• Scythe Down Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 2 Fixed/24 Variable to 4 Fixed/24 Variable.

Sword 

The Sword Side Light now has increased Stun and decreased Force to allow for more consistent follow-up attacks. To account for this consistency, we have also increased the maximum angle of Directional Influence for this attack when struck by duplicate attacks in a single combo. The Sword Recovery attack now has less Force to better match its high degree of utility and ease of use.

• Sword Side Light: Increased Stun from 14 to 15; Decreased Force of the final hit from 78 Fixed/4 Variable to 61 Fixed/1 Variable; Increased maximum angle of Directional Influence when being struck by duplicate attacks in a single combo.
• Sword Recovery: Decreased Force from 55 Fixed/42 Variable to 55 Fixed/40 Variable.

Azoth 

Azoth’s Down Bow now has much greater Force to better match its relatively small threat coverage and straightforward nature.

• Azoth Down Bow: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/51 Variable to 65 Fixed/54 Variable.

Imugi

We have increased the Time to Hit and decreased the threat coverage for the first hit of Imugi’s Side Axe to provide a wider avenue to maneuver around this powerful attack. We have also increased the Recover time on miss of Imugi’s Down Axe to allow players to more reliably punish reckless use of this Signature.

• Imugi Side Axe: Increased Time to Hit from 17 to 19; Decreased threat coverage at the extreme edges of the first hit.
• Imugi Down Axe: Increased total Recover time on miss from 16 to 20.

Kor

The aerial version of Kor’s Down Hammer now has greater Force to better match its lengthy total commitment time.

• Kor Down Hammer: Increased Force of the air version from 54 Fixed/52 Variable to 57 Fixed/54 Variable.

Reno

Reno’s Down Blasters and Neutral Orb have received increases to their Damage to bring their reward closer in line with their considerable risk.

• Reno Down Blasters: Increased Damage from 25 to 28.
• Reno Neutral Orb: Increased Damage from 23 to 26.

Sir Roland

Sir Roland’s Neutral Rocket Lance now has greater Force to better match its lengthy Time to Hit and relatively slow travel speed. Sir Roland’s Side Rocket Lance now has greater travel speed to better fit the current pace of movement and overall gameplay.

• Sir Roland Neutral Rocket Lance: Increased Force from 71 Fixed/53 Variable to 71 Fixed/55 Variable.
• Sir Roland Side Rocket Lance: Increased travel speed during the first hit.

Wu Shang 

We have decreased the Force of Wu Shang’s Neutral Spear to better fit its high degree of utility and sizable threat coverage.

• Wu Shang Neutral Spear: Decreased Force from 60 Fixed/50 Variable to 60 Fixed/48 Variable.

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.

• Neutral Greatsword: Increased total Damage from 22 to 24; Changed Force from 50 Fixed/45 Variable to 40 Fixed/48 Variable.

New Sword Down Light Attack FX

Introducing a new swoosh visual effect on Sword’s Down Light attack that better telegraphs its hitbox. This change is available now in all queues!

Balance

Axe

We have changed the Axe Neutral Light and Down Light to fit more squarely into their respective roles with less overlap in threat coverage, requiring a more deliberate choice when selecting these attacks. The Neutral Light now stays closer to the ground throughout the attack and has less vertical threat coverage, allowing players to more reliably contest the attack from above. The Down Light’s movement and threat coverage has been altered so it no longer hits players who are standing on the ground, allowing opponents to more reliably contest this attack from below. The Axe Neutral Air, Side Air, and Down Air have all received a minor decrease in Damage to slow the aerial kit’s overall rate of building damage.

• Neutral Light: Significantly decreased vertical motion during the attack; Decreased vertical threat coverage.
• Down Light: Slightly decreased rear threat coverage; Slightly decreased threat coverage at the bottom of the attack and increased early vertical movement to no longer hit grounded.
• Neutral Air: Decreased Damage from 18 to 17.
• Side Air: Decreased Damage from 19 to 18.
• Down Air: Decreased Damage from a range of 18~13 to a range of 17~13.

 

Battle Boots 

We have increased the Recover time on miss for the Battle Boots Neutral Air to better match its threat coverage and overall utility, granting a wider window to punish this attack.

• Neutral Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 10 Fixed/12 Variable to 12 Fixed/12 Variable.

 

Blasters

The grounded version of Blasters Down Air has graduated from Test Features with some final adjustments to ground detection and setup location. The grounded version provides more reliable coverage when using your Down Air near the stage, and also has a consistent setup location for follow-up attacks.You can hold the DOWN direction to ignore soft platforms for each blast like other similar Down Air attacks.

• Down Air: Now has a grounded version when performed close to a platform.

 

Cannon 

The Cannon Ground Pound now has less threat coverage in the air and on the ground, allowing players to more easily maneuver around this powerful attack.

• Ground Pound: Decreased threat coverage near the user and threat coverage at the rear of the attack during the aerial blast; Decreased maximum horizontal threat coverage during the grounded blast.

 

Hammer

We have increased the Hammer Down Light’s Recover time on miss to allow a wider opportunity to punish this combo starter. The Hammer Down Air now has less Force to better match its relatively quick Time to Hit and reliable knockout angle.

• Down Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/20 Variable to 6 Fixed/20 Variable.
• Down Air: Decreased Force from 45 Fixed/50 Variable to 45 Fixed/48 Variable.

 

Katars

We have decreased the vertical movement of the Katars’ Neutral Light’s hurtbox, allowing more attacks to reliably contest the user from the ground.

• Neutral Light: Lowered the Hurtbox during the first swing, allowing players to reliably contest it with a wider selection of attacks.

 

Rocket Lance

The Rocket Lance Side Light and Down Air have been adjusted so the Down Air can be used as a follow-up attack at all health ranges. To accomplish this, the Side Light now has a consistent setup location that does not change with the opponent’s health and has slightly increased threat coverage near the user. We have delayed the initial acceleration of the Down Air’s Hit Window so it can reach the Side Light’s new setup location, and slightly increased the Hit Window to make up the required distance to the ground in most use cases. The Down Air’s grounded version also has slightly increased threat coverage for more reliable connections near the height threshold. We have decreased the Damage of the Neutral Air and Side Air to offset the increased reliability of the Down Air as a follow-up attack.

• Side Light: Slightly increased threat coverage near the user; New setup location is now constant for all health ranges.
• Neutral Air: Decreased Damage from 17 to 16.
• Side Air: Decreased Damage from 18 to 17.
• Down Air: Increased Hit Window from 9 to 11; Slightly delayed downward acceleration at the start of the Hit Window; Slightly increased vertical threat coverage during a ground collision.

 

Orb

The Orb Neutral Air now has more Recover time on miss to better match its utility, granting a wider opportunity to punish this attack. The Orb Down Air now has less Damage and greater Recover time on miss to better match its overall utility and threat coverage.

• Neutral Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 11 Fixed/12 Variable to 13 Fixed/12 Variable.
• Down Air: Decreased Damage from 15 to 14; Increased total Recover time on miss of the aerial versions from 5 Fixed/20 Variable to 7 Fixed/20 Variable; Increased total Recover time on miss for the collision versions from 3 Fixed/18 Variable to 5 Fixed/18 Variable.

 

Spear 

The Spear Side Air now has greater Stun, allowing for potential follow-up attacks at low health ranges for high Dexterity Legends, to keep better pace with similar Weapons in 1v1 matches. The grounded version of Spear’s Down Air has graduated from Test Features, with significantly greater Recover time on miss and improvements to ground detection.

• Side Air: Increased Stun from 20 to 22.
• Down Air: Now has a grounded version when performed close to a platform. You can hold the DOWN direction to ignore soft platforms like other similar Down Air attacks.

 

Sword

The Sword Down Light now has slightly greater threat coverage for more reliable use against highly mobile opponents, and the visual effects have been updated to match its current threat coverage.

• Down Light: Slightly increased vertical threat coverage; Slightly increased threat coverage near the user during the middle of the Hit Window; The visual effects have been updated to better match the threat.

 

Kaya 

Kaya’s Neutral Bow and Down Spear have both received reductions to their Force to better match their total threat coverage and utility.

• Neutral Bow: Decreased Force from 75 Fixed/55 Variable to 70 Fixed/53 Variable.
• Down Spear: Decreased Force from 65 Fixed/51 Variable to 62 Fixed/49 Variable.

 

Onyx 

We have increased the Minimum Charge time of Onyx’s Down Gauntlets and decreased its Force to better match its overall range and utility.

• Down Gauntlets: Increased Minimum Charge time from 12 to 15; Decreased Force from 85 Fixed/44 Variable to 70 Fixed/43 Variable.

 

Red Raptor 

Red Raptor’s Down Battle Boots now has greater Recover time on miss to better match its total threat coverage, granting a wider window to punish this attack. Red Raptor’s Neutral Orb now has slightly greater Force to bring its reward more in line with its risk and lack of mobility.

• Down Battle Boots: Increased total Recover time on miss from 20 to 22.
• Neutral Orb: Increased Force from 60 Fixed/50 Variable to 60 Fixed/52 Variable.

 

Teros 

We have decreased the Force of Teros’ Down Axe to bring this Signature’s knockout potential in line with other similar attacks.

• Down Axe: Decreased Force from a range of 70~60 Fixed/59~45 Variable to a range of 70~60 Fixed/55~45 Variable.

 

Ulgrim 

Ulgrim’s Neutral Axe and Side Axe now have significantly less Force to better match their overall utility in 2v2 team combos.

• Neutral Axe: Decreased Force from 59 Fixed/53 Variable to 59 Fixed/51 Variable.
• Side Axe: Decreased Force from 66 Fixed/62 Variable to 62 Fixed/56 Variable.

 

Vivi 

Vivi’s Down Battles Boots now has significantly greater Recover time on miss, allowing a wider window to punish this attack.

• Down Battle Boots: Increased total Recover time from 16 to 20.

 

Wu Shang

Wu Shang’s Side Gauntlets and Down Gauntlets now have significantly less force to better match their overall utility and threat coverage.

• Side Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 60 Fixed/52 Variable to 60 Fixed/49 Variable.
• Down Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 66 Fixed/48 Variable to 62 Fixed/45 Variable.

Mallhalla UI Update

We’ve overhauled Mallhalla’s UI on PC! This is a first preview and ongoing process of updating our UI. Now you can search the store, filter each tab, and sort Items by release order, coin price, or alphabetically. 

Some examples of filters: Skins can be filtered by the Legends you own, Epic, and/or Sale. Crossovers can also be filtered by Epic and/or Mythic. Skins & Colors can be filtered by “Limited Time” when a seasonal Event is active, and all of these have an option to hide owned Items.

Let us know what you think in the official Brawlhalla Discord in the #mallhalla-feedback channel.

Level 100 Rewards

Now when you reach level 100 on a Legend, that Legend’s name will display in Gold!

The Gold Legend name will appear only on the following screens: 

• Pre-match loading screen
• Podium display in all game lobbies, including post-match screen, Ranked, custom games, Brawl of the Week, etc.
• Meet the Legends

This only affects you, players playing as a Legend you have level 100 for will display in the standard color.

Test Features

Post Hitstun Dodge Consistency has graduated from Test Features! Follow-up attacks are made more consistent across all Weapons by making Dash no longer able to get a player out of a combo earlier than a Dodge would. Certain attacks that proved to benefit too greatly from this feature have received adjustments that can be found in the Balance section.

The Dodge/Dash input already forces a Dodge when pressed while coming out of hitstun for 4 frames.

• A special case allowing players to bypass this with a Dash using a down-diagonal input has been removed.

The Dash input is now locked out for 4 frames while coming out of hitstun.

• This prevents players from being able to escape a dodgeable combo while their Dodge is down in some cases.

Balance

We have made a number of adjustments aimed at providing more appropriate risk to certain pivotal attacks on overperforming weapons and Legends, while reducing the risk or providing additional reward to attacks that have fallen behind the curve. This patch also contains Vivi’s first round of balance changes, which makes her legal for use in official Brawlhalla tournaments.

Axe

The Axe Ground Pound now has less threat coverage at the rear of the user during ground collision to provide a more consistent avenue for countering or escaping from this sizable attack.

• Axe Groundpound: Greatly decreased threat coverage on ground collision.

Battle Boots

We have increased the Minimum Charge time of the Battle Boots Ground Pound to better match its relatively wide threat coverage and to grant a slightly larger Dodge Window when used as a follow-up attack.

• Battle Boots Ground Pound: Increased Minimum Charge time from 18 to 21.

Blasters

While the Blasters Down Light is a combo starter that can lead to another attack, the Damage dealt by the Down Light itself was highly subject to positioning. We have focused most of the Damage into the final hit of the attack and slightly increased the total Damage to provide a much more consistent reward when striking from farther distances.

• Blasters Down Light: Increased total Damage from 12 to 13; Focused most of the Damage into the final hit.

Cannon

The Cannon Neutral Air could rotate into other attacks too quickly when performed close to the ground, so we have increased the minimum Recover time on ground collision and reduced the window for ground detection to allow for more consistent counterattacks against this quick aerial option. The aerial Recover time and maximum Recover time on ground collision remain unchanged.

• Cannon Neutral Air: Increased total Recover time on miss after ground collision from a range of 10~21 to a range of 15~21; Decreased window of ground detection from 12 to 7.

Greatsword

We have delayed the attack and movement cancel windows for the Greatsword Side Light Opener on miss to provide a greater window to maneuver around the user and begin a counterattack against this far-reaching Opener. This also brings the Side Light Opener’s risk closer in line with its more reliable reward due to Post Hitstun Dodge Consistency’s graduation from Test Features. The Greatsword Neutral Air now has less allowed acceleration during the attack and Recover time on miss to better match its overall speed and size.

• Greatsword Side Light Opener: Increased time before you can cancel into a bridge on miss from 12 to 15; Increased time before you can cancel into a Jump, Dash, or Dodge from 18 to 21.
• Greatsword Neutral Air: Decreased the amount of allowed acceleration during the attack and during the Recover time on miss.

Katars

With Post Hitstun Dodge Consistency graduating from Test Features, we have increased the Recover time on miss for the Katars Down Air on ground collision to better match the more reliable reward that can be gained from this air-to-ground string starter.

• Katars Down Air: Increased total Recover time on miss for the ground version from 9 Fixed/10 Variable to 11 Fixed/10 Variable.

Rocket Lance

The Rocket Lance Side Light now has slightly less Recover time on miss to better keep pace with the game’s increased movement options on the ground and better match the risk with its relatively thin threat coverage.

• Rocket Lance Side Light: Decreased Recover time on miss from 12 Fixed/14 Variable to 10 Fixed/14 Variable.

Scythe

The Scythe Down Light now has greater Recover time on miss to better match its more reliable use as a follow-up attack and more reliable reward from the graduation of Post Hitstun Dodge Consistency.

• Scythe Down Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 8 Fixed/16 Variable to 10 Fixed/16 Variable.

Bödvar

We have greatly increased the Stun time of Bödvar’s Neutral Hammer and Side Hammer, and slightly increased the Stun time of his Down Hammer, to provide greater positional reward at low and mid health ranges. This also removes a number of cases where these attacks could be punishable on hit.

• Neutral Hammer: Increased Stun time from 18 to 28.
• Side Hammer: Increased Stun time from 18 to 28.
• Down Hammer: Increased Stun time from 25 to 26.

Kor

Kor’s Neutral Hammer now has slightly less Minimum Charge time for greater responsiveness as an anti-air attack and to better offset its relatively slow bloom in threat coverage.

• Neutral Hammer: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 9.

Nix 

We have reduced the Minimum Charge time and Recover time for Nix’s Side Blasters to better match its lengthy total duration and relatively slow travel speed.

• Side Blasters: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 8; Decreased total Recover time from 21 to 19.

Scarlet 

We have greatly increased the Stun time of Scarlet’s Neutral Hammer and grounded Side Hammer to provide greater positional advantage at low and mid health ranges, as well as reduce the number of cases where these attacks could be punishable on hit. We have also increased the Damage and Stun time of Scarlet’s Down Hammer to better match its total duration and reduce the number of cases where it could be punishable on hit.

• Neutral Hammer: Increased Stun time from 18 to 26.
• Side Hammer: Increased Stun time of the ground version from 20 to 28.
• Down Hammer: Increased Stun time from 18 to 27; Increased Damage from 23 to 25.

Tezca 

Tezca’s Side Gauntlets now has less vertical and horizontal threat coverage during the spin, providing a wider avenue to interrupt Tezca and rescue a grabbed teammate.

• Side Gauntlets: Decreased maximum horizontal and vertical threat while spinning a grabbed target.

Ulgrim 

Ulgrim’s Down Axe now has greater Minimum Charge time to better match its generous threat coverage and utility.

• Down Axe: Increased Minimum Charge time from 11 to 14.

Vivi 

We have increased the Minimum Charge time of Vivi’s Neutral and Side Battle Boots to provide greater windows to Dodge these attacks. The wall version of Vivi’s Neutral Blasters now has less Force to bring its knockout range in line with other spiking Signatures.

• Neutral Battle Boots: Increased Minimum Charge time from 6 to 8.
• Side Battle Boots: Increased Minimum Charge time from 3 to 6.
• Neutral Blasters: Decreased Force of the wall version from 45 Fixed/38 Variable to 45 Fixed/36 Variable.

Game Improvements

UI

• Shin Sekai Koji and Inari Yumiko have updated UI Signature FX swap background images and animations in Mallhalla.
• Added a dark backing for better readability of the health bar.

UX

• The Image render tool now supports rendering Light Attacks and “Movement” animations, which are in-game animations like running, dashing, dodging, and more!
• Equipping a Title in the Inventory screen now makes the same sound as equipping other items in the Inventory. 
• On Mustafar, the camera will now only zoom out when the lava level changes and only enough to show where the current lava level is.

Bots

• Improved Bots ability to Dodge Sticky Bombs.
• Improved Bots ability to follow up attacks that require a jump, and greatly reduced the percentage that a Bot will attempt a Weapon throw at Medium and above difficulty. 

Gameplay

• Added Team Yellow as team color possibilities for Fortress of the Lions and Miami Dome.

• Fixed a bug on Mobile where the “This matchmaking queue no longer exists” pop up caused the top right menu to disappear.

UX

• Fixed a bug where non-party leaders can add or remove Bots in a custom online game when using a controller.
• Fixed a bug on Mobile where replays displayed on page 2 and beyond weren’t watchable.
• Fixed a bug that would play every sound that happened.
• Fixed a bug where every sound that happened before joining would play at once when someone would start spectating a match that had already begun. Also fixes this issue for those skipping through a replay.
• Fixed a bug on Android where in-game music and audio wouldn’t be cut off when the app is moved to the background.

Balance

This round of balance changes improves the risk-reward ratio for several underused Signatures, while reining in the reward for certain overperforming key Signatures following the Trial of Ymir tournaments.

 

Spear

The previously decreased Stun on Spear Side Light and Side Air has opened several gaps in the Spear’s string game, however the loss of pressure from landing a Side Light has proven to be too severe. We have increased the Stun of the Side Light to allow for slightly more reliable follow-up attacks, especially when punishing an opponent’s Dodge.

• Spear Side Light: Increased Stun from 17 to 19.

 

Sword

With the ever-increasing speed of the game and wider mobility options, the Sword Down Light carried too much risk for its relatively thin total threat coverage when compared to other combo starters that grant similar reward. We have slightly reduced the Recover time on miss to better match this attack’s required precision on the ground.

• Sword Down Light: Decreased Recover time on miss from 7 Fixed/20 Variable to 5 Fixed/20 Variable.

 

Cassidy

Cassidy’s Down Blasters had an overly long total duration that is easily punished from a significant distance away. We have reduced the Recover time to help offset this lengthy commitment and continue the flow of combat.

• Cassidy Down Blasters: Decreased total Recover time from 21 to 19.

 

Diana

Diana’s Side Blasters often requires more precision than most Side Signatures, so we have borrowed some of the power from Diana’s incredibly strong Side Bow. The Side Blasters now have greater Force and less Recover time, at the cost of slightly less Force on Diana’s Side Bow.

• Diana Side Bow: Decreased Force from 69 Fixed/49 Variable to 69 Fixed/47 Variable.
• Diana Side Blasters: Increased Force from 60 Fixed/52 Variable to 65 Fixed/53 Variable; Decreased total Recover time from 28 to 25.

 

Ember

We have increased the Force and Damage of Ember’s Neutral Katars to better match its lengthy total duration and the slow bloom to its threat coverage.

• Ember Neutral Katars: Increased Force from 75 Fixed/53 Variable to 75 Fixed/54 Variable; Increased total Damage from 25 to 27.

 

Fait

Fait’s Neutral Orb would often score knockouts too early when striking an airborne target with the top of the attack. We have reduced the Force to bring the knockout range closer in line with other similar attacks, and some of this lost power has been traded for a minor increase in Damage.

• Fait Neutral Orb: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/52 Variable to 64 Fixed/50 Variable; Increased Damage from 23 to 24.

 

Lucien

Lucien’s Neutral Blasters would score knockouts significantly later than other similar Signatures due to its diagonal knockback and Lucien’s low Strength. We have increased the Force to allow this Signature to score knockouts at a more appropriate time.

• Lucien Neutral Blasters: Increased Force from 70 Fixed/52 Variable to 72 Fixed/53 Variable.

 

Munin

We have slightly increased the Force on Munin’s Neutral Bow to better match its relatively slow Time to Hit and travel time.

• Munin Neutral Bow: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/52 Variable to 65 Fixed/53 Variable.

 

Tezca

Tezca’s Side Gauntlets and Side Boots would score knockouts too early, so we have reduced the Force to better match with their horizontal reach and movement.

• Tezca Side Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 58 Fixed/50 Variable to 58 Fixed/48 Variable.
• Tezca Side Boots: Decreased Force from 60 Fixed/50 Variable to 60 Fixed/48 Variable.

 

Zariel

Zariel’s Neutral Bow now has greater Recover time on miss, as the user could previously cover themselves too quickly with a second attack. Players will now have a larger window to launch a counter-attack from the ground or from directly above Zariel.

• Zariel Neutral Bow: Increased total Recover time on miss from 13 to 16.

Test Features

We’ve made some adjustments to the recently-added Sentinel Side Hammer rework Test Feature. New visual FX have been added to the charged variation to better differentiate between the charged and base version. A special case where performing the Heavy Attack while Gravity Canceled would cause it to end abruptly has been fixed.

• Added new visual FX to Sentinel’s Side Hammer Signature’s charge variant Test Feature to make the switch between the charged variant & base version more noticeable.

• Fixed a case where the attack would end abruptly when Gravity Canceled.

Based on player feedback, we’ve also decided to remove Perfect Dodge from Test Features, and it will not be graduating.

New Test Feature: Perfect Dodge

In tandem with Hold-to-Dodge, we’re adding Perfect Dodge to Brawlhalla to reward players for perfectly timing their dodges rather than mashing or holding the Dodge input.

Perfect Dodge

• You can perform a “Perfect Dodge” by timing a single Dodge input at the precise moment you exit hitstun, reducing your Dodge cooldown by 20 frames.
• The 3 frame input buffer still applies to the Dodge input, giving you a total timing window of 4 frames.
• The Dodge input can not be mashed or held.
• Note that the Special FX may change in the future.

• Introducing a new, easier bot difficulty: Pushover. This is intended for players who may be brand new to the platform fighting genre and want to continue their practice on a more mobile Bot compared to the Training mode dummy.

New Test Feature

In continuing to update older or more simplistic Legends with new tools, we have added a Charge Variant to Sentinel’s Side Hammer. Years ago, this Signature was excellent at surprising opponents from a distance with a powerful leaping strike, but over time the speed of the game has increased and that distance has become less impactful. So as a Test Feature, when this Signature is charged past a brief duration, Sentinel will perform a double swing that travels a much greater distance. Leave us your feedback on this and other Test Features in Discord, Reddit, or any of our other official social channels.

Sentinel Side Hammer Rework

• Adds a charged variant in which Sentinel travels farther with a second swing of his Hammer.
• The Uncharged Side Hammer remains the same.

 

Updated Image Render Tool 

We’ve added Signature Attacks to the image render tool! Epic Skins and Crossovers display their unique swapped Sigs and Visual FX.

 

Brawl of the Week – Street Brawl Relay

• Street Brawl Mode
• 1v1
• 8 Minutes
• First to 3 KOs wins!

 

Balance

This patch contains the last off-season balance adjustments and sets the stage for Brawlhalla Esports Year Nine. This includes Seven’s first balance pass, which makes her legal for use in official tournaments.

 

Battle Boots
We have decreased the Fixed Force of the Battle Boots Recovery to offset the distance it can carry a target before the final knockback. This will result in fewer early knockouts during aerial juggles.

• Battle Boots Recovery: Decreased Force from 60 Fixed/42 Variable to 54 Fixed/42 Variable.

 

Blasters
The Blasters Neutral Light now deals slightly greater damage to better match its required accuracy and total commitment. We have also decreased the Recover time on miss for the Blasters Side Light to bring the risk in line with other similar attacks on other weapons.

• Blasters Neutral Light: Increased Damage from 15 to 16.
• Blasters Side Light: Decreased total Recover time on miss from 14 Fixed/9 Variable to 13 Fixed/9 Variable.

 

Greatsword
The Greatsword Side Air now has significantly greater Recover time on miss to better match its total threat coverage and utility.

• Greatsword Side Air: Increased total Recover time on miss while in the air from 7 Fixed/10 Variable to 10 Fixed/10 Variable.

 

Dusk
Dusk’s Neutral Spear now has greater Recover time on miss to allow wider opportunities to counter this anti-air Signature.

• Dusk Neutral Spear: Increased total Recover time on miss from 13 to 15.

 

Seven
The electric version of Seven’s Neutral Spear now has greater Minimum Charge time to open a dodge window after a Spear Down Light. We have also decreased its Force to better match its quick total duration. The fire version of Seven’s Neutral Spear now has greater Time to Hit to better match its threat coverage, and has an equal increase to its Minimum Charge time to keep its minimum Hit Window identical. The electric version of Seven’s Side Spear now has less Stun and significantly less Force to open dodge windows at certain health ranges and to bring the knockout potential closer in line with the attack’s overall utility. The fire version of Seven’s Side Spear now has slightly less Force to be closer in line with other similar Signature attacks.

• Seven Neutral Spear: Increased Minimum Charge time of the electric mode from 11 to 12; Decreased Force of the electric mode from 58 Fixed/54 Variable to 55 Fixed/51 Variable; Increased Time to Hit of the fire mode version from 16 to 18; Increased Minimum Charge time of the fire mode version from 26 to 28.
• Seven Side Spear: Decreased Stun of the electric mode from 32 to 31; Decreased Force of the electric mode from 58 Fixed/47 Variable to 58 Fixed/42 Variable; Decreased Force of the fire mode version from 58 Fixed/50 Variable to 58 Fixed/47 Variable.

 

Wu Shang
Wu Shang’s Down Gauntlets now has less Maximum Charge time to reduce the variable release window of the palm strike for more reliable counterattacks against this Signature.

• Wu Shang Down Gauntlets: Decreased Maximum Charge time from 65 to 55.

 

Zariel
The first hit of Zariel’s Neutral Bow now applies less Stun against secondary targets, allowing any non-grabbed opponents a chance to escape or interrupt Zariel before the final arrow shot.

• Zariel Neutral Bow: Decreased Stun of the initial attack from 25 to 15; Removed the AoE Hit Window that could strike secondary targets during the grab transition.

 

Updated Tournament Map Pool

Store

• The Sponsored Video Rewards system on PC & PlayStation is now available on Xbox! Now Xbox players can watch sponsored videos to earn free in-game Items. Please note: it may not be available in all regions immediately at launch.

 

Bot Improvements 

We have another wave of bot improvements with more to come. In this patch, we have improved the bot pathing on most Maps. Some larger Maps and special Game Mode Maps have not been improved this time around. This will help fix much unintended bot behavior.  

• The bots ability to move around the Map has been improved on the majority of Maps, helping reduce some awkward behavior.
• Upgraded a bot’s ability to distinguish when it’s time to grab a Weapon to avoid them fighting unarmed for too long.

• Fixed a bug where random Emotes weren’t working online.
• Fixed a bug where players were sometimes unable to lock in as Seven.
• Fixed crashes on Kung Foot and Volleybrawl.
• Fixed a bug where if a player gets hit within 2 frames of their chase Dodge after a Gravity Cancel they get the grounded Dodge cool down

UI

• Fixed a bug where player names in matchmaking scoreboard screen were no longer graying out after that player left

• Additional notes: none.

New Legend: Seven

• Seven – “The Free Heart Engineer”
• Weapons: Spear, Cannon
• Stats: 7 Strength, 3 Dexterity, 8 Defense, 4 Speed
• “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.

 

The Free Heart Engineer is always modifying her appearance – Seven arrives with 3 new Skins!

• Firefighter Seven  –“Stay calm! Stop, drop, and roll!” 
• Tinyfigure Seven  – “Watch where you step!”
• Wanderer Seven – “A masterless robot seeking atonement, and freedom for all mechanized beings.”

To change the language in-game, go to the “Options” tab from the Player Menu at the top right of the screen, select “System Settings” and toggle through the left/right arrows next to “Language” until you find your preferred one.

 

Bot Behaviour Improvements

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.

Tournament Map Pool

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!

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.

New Test Feature – Hold to Dodge

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.

Balance

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.

Game Improvements

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.

Bug Fixes

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.

• Additional notes: none.

Mythic Crossovers are a new tier of Crossovers that includes everything an Epic Crossover has, with additional features to make them feel even more like the original IP. In the case of SpongeBob, these include custom light Attack animations and dynamic costumes.

Patrick & Sandy also join the Grand Tournament as Epic Crossovers. All Crossover characters feature unique Weapon Skins, custom Signature FX, new lock-in animations, and dedicated roster spots. 

More residents from under the sea have also arrived, including The Flying Dutchman Sidekick, King Jellyfish KO Effect, Squidward Emoji, and many more favorites. Find all of these and more SpongeBob content in Mallhalla.

New Challenges

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!

Balance Pass

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.

Game Improvements
