Account Level titles

As a way for us to thank you for sticking around and playing Brawlhalla, we’re introducing new Titles that are given to players based on their account levels. These begin at level 2 and progress until level 100. The following Titles will be rewarded:

• Level 2 – Novice
• Level 10 – Pupil
• Level 25 – Adept
• Level 50 – Veteran
• Level 75 – Hero
• Level 100 – Legend – This Title comes in an exclusive shade of blue, only shared with the “Developer” Title.

While the account levels only go up to 100, the “Legend” Title ranks up for every additional 100 levels worth of XP earned after getting the Title. All players will retroactively earn their applicable Titles based on XP at login, so check your inventory!

Challenges Preview Update

The Challenges Preview continues to expand! This patch we’re introducing new Rocket Lance and Hammer combos for you to hone your skills.

Rocket Lance Walk Off Combo

• A powerful Rocket Lance string that will carry your opponent offstage. When doing this in a match, try experimenting with reading your opponent after for an even more devastating effect!

Basic Hammer BnB 1

• A simple bread and butter combo that Hammer players will use often!

Test Features

We’ve added new experimental features in 7.05! As revealed in the last Development Update Stream, Gadgets now have unique Sound FX for when they hit the ground. We’ve also fine-tuned Vector’s Down Rocket Lance Signature Rework and graduated part of Isaiah’s Side Blasters Signature rework! See below for full details.

Gadget Bounce Sound FX

There is now a sound for when a Gadget is thrown and hits the ground. Each Gadget has its own unique sound that changes based on its velocity. The Sidekick Summoner Horn makes a special sound if you throw it just right!

Signature Attack Reworks

Vector Down Rocket Lance 

• Based on your feedback, Vector now hops backwards at the beginning of the Charge time, but carries greater momentum for improved Slide Charging.
• The steering during Charge time has been removed to allow for this preservation of momentum.

Isaiah Side Blasters 

• Wider drone movement and quicker Time to Hit have graduated into all queues.
• The post-attack Charge time did not prove to be useful enough, so this Signature will maintain its original Charge and movement behavior.

Game Improvements

User Interface

Damage color entity flashes match HUD health indicator

• When a Legend gets hit, they flash the color of their damage. Previously, this color was tiered between white/yellow/orange/red. This caused the damage flash to sometimes be incorrect compared to the HUD health indicator on the top-right of the screen.

• Now, this color flash on the Legend matches the HUD exactly – with full granularity between all the colors. Not only does this affect Legends that are damaged, but it also affects the ball and the ball trail in Kung Foot and the gates in Horde Mode.

Art & Animation

• We’ve added new tech for Jaeyun and Ezio so their in-game models will more accurately reflect their character designs. Now Jaeyun’s missing eye and Ezio’s scar will stay on the correct side.
• Tweaked the Battle Boots’ Side Air hit and the Down Light miss animations.

Game Modes

• Removed Grumpy Temple and Small Grumpy Temple from the Dice and Destruction game mode Map selection.

Maps

• Western Air Temple’s camera is now properly centered on the stage. Camera bounds now follow a standard 16:9 ratio, resulting in smoother camera movement and better tracking of players. Left and Right camera bubble distances are also now equal. This gives less area of the map for players to just “swim around” offscreen.
• Western Air Temple KO Line adjustments: distance to the top knockout line is now much farther. Distance to the bottom knockout line is now slightly farther as well. Left and Right knockout lines are now equal. This brings this Map more in line with other standard Maps.

Gameplay

• Bots are now more proactive about finding opportunities to pick up a Weapon and spend less time unarmed.

Bug Fixes

User Experience 

• Fixed a bug with the Manage Party menu where once the drop down menu for a Legend/bot was opened, hovering your cursor over another Legend/bot would unintentionally change which Legend/bot you were changing settings for without any visual indication that something had changed. Hovering your cursor over another Legend/bot while the drop down menu is open now has no effect.
• Fixed a bug where the randomized Emote animations in the Battle Pass Progression screen would always play the same sound instead of playing the appropriate sound to match the current animation.

User Interface

• Fixed a bug with the Manage Party menu where opening the drop down menu for a bot, then closing it, then opening the menu for a different bot would still display the Bot Difficulty setting for the previous bot.
• Fixed a bug where purchasing Battle Pass Tiers would cause any subsequent purchase from Mallhalla to erroneously show the purchase confirmation for buying Battle Pass Tiers instead of the confirmation for the item purchased. This was a display bug only and did not have an effect on purchases. 
• Fixed a bug on PC where the “Rejoin Game” prompt is not clickable.
• Fixed a bug where the South Africa flag did not render in the Public Games List.
• Added the “Wearing Hat” tag to Nightblade Hattori, and removed the “Wearing Hat” tag from Horus Mirage.
• Shortened the Training mode menu popup on Nintendo Switch & Xbox One.

Gameplay:

• Fixed a bug that was causing Capture the Flag and Brawlball matches to experience a rollback at the start of the game.

Test Features

We’re excited to add a new test feature that shows an effect that indicates when a Legend has been disarmed. This can be played in the Experimental queue and any Custom Game with Test Features enabled. Also, the Dodge Cooldown changes have been removed from Test Features and did not graduate.

New Disarmed Visual Effects

There is a new visual effect that shows when a Legend has been disarmed by an opponent. The effect appears as bright colored sparks that fly off the Legend.

The second Signature Replacement gives Vector an entirely new Down Rocket Lance.
