Brawlhalla (Switch): updates archives (Ver. 7.03 to 7.13)

On this page, you will find all there is to know about the various updates for Brawlhalla on Nintendo Switch (originally released on November 6th 2018 in Europe and North America and September 5th 2019 in Japan)!

To be precise, this post features patch notes for Ver. 7.03 to Ver. 7.13. For the most recent updates, make sure to check out this post instead!

New Legend: Loki

• Loki – “The Mastermind”
• Weapons: Katars, Scythe
• Stats: 4 Strength, 8 Dexterity, 5 Defense, 5 Speed
• “It is difficult to predict a cataclysm. Even more difficult to prepare for one without being seen as mad. So, when Loki was tasked by the gods to seal a dangerous substance with his controversial patented dimensionmancy, he believed his genius was finally being recognized.”

Loki portals in with 3 new Skins:

• THNX Researcher Loki –“I need more souls for my experiments…“ 
• Arcane Loki – “Venom mixed with malice.”
• Outlaw Loki – “Cassidy couldn’t even catch this one.“

Weapons & Gadgets selector in Custom Lobbies

Players can now specify which Gadgets can spawn and even disable Weapon spawns if desired in a custom lobby!

• Appears in the popup where players select the Game Mode and other preferences.
• Select which Gadgets you want to spawn.
• Select whether Weapons spawn in or not.

2v2 Ranked Team Elo Improvements

Team Elo is being improved by accelerating the amount gained after a win based on the difference between the average of both players’ personal 2v2 Elo ratings and their current Team Elo rating.

For example, a Diamond team will get their Team Elo to Diamond in much fewer games than before. Please note that Team Elo rating is used for leaderboard rankings and Glory, while matchmaking has always considered a team’s personal 2v2 Elo average.

 

XP Gain Improvements

Players now gain more XP for fighting high rated opponents in matchmaking queues! Bonus XP gain is applied based on the Elo of your opponent (or average personal Elo of an opposing team). An extra 5% at 1390 (Gold 1) that scales to 50% at 2000 (Diamond 1). A 100% bonus (double XP) is applied when playing against a Valhallan opponent.

Improvements

Gameplay

• It is now possible to play more unbalanced teams, like 3v1 and 5v2, in team-centric game modes like Brawlball and Kung Foot.
• Improved bot pathing on Small Brawlhaven, Shipwreck Falls and Small Enigma.
• Bots set in a difficulty range that makes them Weapon starve have been improved and now Weapon starve in a more realistic manner.

UI

• Adjusted the HUD to be arranged better in unbalanced teams.
• Players can now ban Map/Gadgets after they play 1 game in a queue.
• All Stances are now automatically unlocked in Offline Tournament Lobbies.
• Improved platform bounds and normal Item spawns on Florence Terrace.

Art & Animation

• The Wall Tag emote now layers behind other objects so that the concrete wall doesn’t cover up other players.

Bug Fixes

Gameplay

• Fixed a bug in Challenges Mode where the Greatsword Dash Cancel Combo Challenge was not performed correctly by the Sensei..
• Fixed a bug where Florence Terrance had inconsistent team initial item spawns. 
• Fixed a bug where throwing a Sticky Bomb onto a monster in Horde Mode would cause the game to crash.
• Fixed a bug that caused players to spawn from the wrong side on 3v1 team-centric game modes. It is now possible to play 3v1 or 1v3 matches in the following game-modes: Brawlball, Bombsketball, Beachbrawl, Capture the Flag, Kung Foot, Volleybrawl
• Fixed a bug where dodging with a Sticky Bomb attached would detach and reattach it to yourself, which would cause the KO to count as an SD instead of giving credit to the passer or thrower.
• Fixed a bug where having cross-inventory active while offline would not let you play offline games.

• Additional notes: none.

Graduated Test Features

Downward Aerial Attack Consistency is graduating into all queues! 

This feature makes it easier to perform a downward attack without being platform canceled by a soft platform. Down Light or Down Signature attacks will ignore platform canceling when the down input is held for 4 or more frames. 

This prevents accidental platform cancels when a fastfall Down-Air or Ground-Pound was intended.

Balance

This patch brings several balance changes based on top player feedback following the Spring Championship and Dreamhack San Diego. It also contains Thea’s first round of adjustments based on ranked performance and community feedback, which makes her legal for official tournaments.

 

 

Battle Boots

The Battle Boots Neutral Air is a very quick attack that provides sizable threat coverage around the user, so we have slightly increased the Recover time on miss and slightly decreased the rear threat coverage to allow for wider opportunities to retaliate against this attack.

• Battle Boots Neutral Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 9 Fixed/12 Variable to 10 Fixed/12 Variable; Slightly decreased rear threat coverage at the end of the attack.

 

Blasters

We have decreased the total Damage on the Blasters Down Air and Recovery attacks to slightly reduce the Weapon’s overall rate of building damage. The Blasters Side Air now has slightly greater Recover time on miss and less allowed movement during the Recover time to provide wider opportunities to retaliate against this attack.

• Blasters Side Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/28 Variable to 6 Fixed/28 Variable; Decreased allowed acceleration and maximum speed during the Recover time on miss.
• Blasters Down Air: Decreased Damage from 17 to 15.
• Blasters Recovery: Decreased Damage from 22 to 20.

 

Bow

The Bow Side Light and Neutral Air now have slightly greater Recover time on miss, while the Neutral Air also has slightly less allowed movement during the Recover time.

• Bow Neutral Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/24 Variable to 6 Fixed/24 Variable; Slightly decreased allowed acceleration and maximum speed during the Recover time on miss.

 

Greatsword

The Greatsword Side Light Opener’s setup location is now slightly closer to the user on average, most notably when performed during movement such as a Dash or Chase Dodge. Previously, the target could be sent too far for traditional chain follow-up attacks when striking during the later part of the Hit Window during movement.

• Greatsword Side Light Opener: Altered setup location to be slightly lower and closer to the user.

 

Hammer

The Hammer Down Light now has less Recover time on miss and greater threat coverage at the front of the attack. These changes reduce the risk attached to this combo starter, allowing for more reliable use in the neutral game.

• Hammer Down Light: Decreased total Recover time on miss from 7 Fixed/20 Variable to 5 Fixed/20 Variable; Slightly increased overall threat coverage at the front of the attack.

 

Katars

We have slightly decreased the Stun of the Katars Neutral Air to open Dodge Windows between some follow-up attacks. We have also reduced the allowed movement during the Recover time to provide wider opportunities to retaliate against this attack. The Katars Down Air now has greater Recover time on miss for the grounded version to provide wider opportunities to retaliate against this attack, given its pivotal role in most strings.

• Katars Neutral Air: Decreased Stun from a range of 24~17 to a range of 23~16; Decreased allowed acceleration and maximum speed on miss.
• Katars Down Air: Increased total Recover time on miss for the grounded version from 7 Fixed/10 Variable to 9 Fixed/10 Variable.

 

Orb

The Orb Side Air now allows for slightly less movement during the Recover time to provide wider opportunities to retaliate against this attack.

• Orb Side Air: Decreased allowed acceleration and maximum speed on miss.

 

Rocket Lance

The Rocket Lance Down Light now has slightly greater Stun, granting tighter Dodge Windows for follow-up attacks and specific combos at the highest Dexterity values. The Rocket Lance Down Air’s aerial version now has slightly less threat coverage near the user during the later portion of the Hit Window, allowing for more reliable escape and punish attempts against this attack.

• Rocket Lance Down Light: Increased Stun from 20 to 21.
• Rocket Lance Down Air: Slightly reduced threat coverage near the user at the end of the attack for the aerial version.

 

Caspian

Caspian’s Side Katars now has less Force to better match its unique range and utility in context of the Katars base kit.

• Caspian Side Katars: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/54 Variable to 70 Fixed/51 Variable.

 

Kaya

Kaya’s Down Bow and Down Spear Signatures now have greater Recover time on miss to better match their backwards movement and forward priority.

• Kaya Down Bow: Increased total Recover time on miss for the ground version from 20 to 22.
• Kaya Down Spear: Increased total Recover time on miss from 20 to 22.

 

Lucien

We have decreased the threat coverage and greatly decreased the Force of Lucien’s Down Katars attack to better match its utility as an edgeguard and overall range.

• Lucien Down Katars: Decreased threat coverage at the front and top of the attack; Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/55 Variable to 62 Fixed/51 Variable.

 

Magyar

Magyar’s Neutral Hammer now has a faster Minimum Charge time and faster Recover time on miss for less risk when used as an anti-air or as a potential follow-up from a Hammer Down Light. We have decreased the Recover time on Magyar’s Side Greatsword and greatly decreased the Recover time on Magyar’s Down Greatsword for less risk on these grounded attacks.

• Magyar Neutral Hammer: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 11 to 10; Decreased total Recover time on miss from 23 to 21.
• Magyar Side Greatsword: Decreased total Recover time from 25 to 23.
• Magyar Down Greatsword: Decreased total Recover time from 31 to 27.

 

Mirage

Mirage’s Side Spear now has greater Recover time for its grounded version, allowing for wider opportunities to retaliate against this leaping attack. We have also increased the Recover time on Mirage’s Down Spear and Down Scythe to allow for wider retaliation opportunities, to better match their sizable threat coverage around the user.

• Mirage Side Spear: Increased total Recover time for the grounded version from 20 to 22.
• Mirage Down Spear: Increased total Recover time from 20 to 22.
• Mirage Down Scythe: Increased total Recover time from 21 to 24.

 

Tezca

We have slightly decreased the vertical threat coverage on Tezca’s Down Battle Boots Signature during its travel, allowing for more reliable escapes from this powerful attack.

• Tezca Down Battle Boots: Slightly decreased vertical threat coverage.

 

Thea

Thea’s Side Battle Boots now has greater Minimum Charge time. The Level 1 Charge version now has much greater Recover time and less Force. We have also reduced the vertical threat coverage of all three Charge Levels. These changes provide less reward, and more reliable escape and retaliation opportunities against this attack. Thea’s Down Battle Boots now has much greater Minimum Charge time and much greater Recover time on miss, allowing for greater escape and retaliation opportunities against this attack. We have also decreased the Force of this Signature to better match its overall threat coverage.

• Thea Side Battle Boots: Increased Minimum Charge time from 8 to 11; Increased total Recover time of the Level 1 Charge version from 15 to 19; Decreased Force of the Level 1 Charge version from 50 Fixed/50 Variable to 50 Fixed/48 Variable; Decreased vertical threat coverage for all Charge Level versions (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3).
• Thea Down Battle Boots: Increased Minimum Charge time from 11 to 14; Increased total Recover time on miss from 18 to 22; Decreased Force from 55 Fixed/51 Variable to 55 Fixed/49 Variable.

New Test Features

We’re introducing a new Test Feature – Backdash buffs – which reduces the penalty for doing a backdash.

Backdash Buffs

• The startup time for backdash has been decreased both in neutral and during dash dancing to be more symmetrical with forward dash.
• Now, just like forward dash, you can attack out of a backdash freely.
• Other than the slightly reduced impulse speed compared to forward dash, there is no penalty for performing a backdash anymore.

We also removed the extended timing window & required “down” directional input from the platform dash cancel feature (previously called Ledge Cancel) introduced in patch 7.07.

Platform Dash Cancel

• Previously, the timing window was increased and the inputs required “Down” to be pressed to compensate for accidental dashes when dodging near platforms, but these additions have been removed.

Graduated Test Features

Our newest Gadget, Boomerang, and the Short Hop Accessibility feature are both graduating into all queues! Thanks to everyone for your invaluable feedback during the experimental period. 

New Gadget: Boomerang

• Will now spawn in all modes featuring gadgets!
• This Gadget flies in a large arc when thrown, homes back to its thrower, and hits anyone in its way.
• The first gadget to travel through opponents!

 

Short Hop Accessibility 

• It is now easier to fastfall after a jump by pressing the “down” input any time after jumping.
• When the minimum height threshold for fastfall is reached after jumping, you begin fastfalling at a near-optimal time without having to wait for the minimum height threshold before pressing ‘Down’.
• More optimal timing can still be achieved by short-hopping the old fashioned way – by waiting for the minimum height threshold before pressing ‘Down’.

Game Improvements

Art & Animation

• Demon Island now has an animated background!

User Interface

• Hey check out that new Logo! Pretty cool, right?
• Adjusted the Title Reward text on the Battle Pass Reward viewer to be more centered.
• Sweet Magi ☆ Dream Spear has the star back on all languages using the Roman alphabet.

Balance

This update contains quality-of-life improvements for several underused Signatures on the least played Legends. This includes Vector’s new Down Rocket Lance Signature which has graduated from Test Features.

Ezio

We have reduced the Recover time on Ezio’s Side Orb as its overall risk and total commitment proved to be too long for its threat coverage compared to other Legends.

• Ezio Side Orb: Decreased total Recovery time from 25 to 23.

Reno

Reno’s Neutral Orb now has less Recover time on miss for less risk given its role as an anti-air attack.

• Reno Neutral Orb: Decreased total Recover time on miss from 21 to 19.

Sentinel

Sentinel’s Side Katars has received a significant increase to its visual size and threat coverage. This straight-forward Signature now has a total threat map that is closer in line with similar attacks on other Legends.

• Sentinel Side Katars: Increased threat coverage; Increased size of visual FX.

Thor

Thor’s Side Orb often felt too stiff in the flow of a match, so we have increased the allowed momentum for more fluid use from general movement, dashes, and chase dodges.

• Thor Side Orb: Slightly increased the maximum momentum allowed during the startup and first swing.

Vector
Vector’s Experimental Down Rocket Lance has graduated from Test Features! Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles. This allows for faster coverage of the area in front of Vector that the Side Rocket Lance cannot threaten, and provides an option that does not completely surrender positioning.

• Vector Down Rocket Lance: Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles.

Yumiko

Yumiko’s Neutral Bow now has less Recover time to better fit its role as an anti-air attack, and to match its comparatively low priority.

• Yumiko Neutral Bow: Decreased total Recovery time from 19 to 16.

Bombsketball Update

The platforms for Bombsketball have been redesigned, including all-new art, animations when someone scores a goal, and timers for when a new bomb will spawn. The goals also have backboards, so you can try for a layup and other new strategies. Check it out in the 2v2 Bombsketball Brawl of the Week, Custom Online lobbies, or Offline Play.

Change Colors in Training Mode!

Now, you can change your Color Scheme while training in Training mode just as easily as changing a Legend or Skin! 

• In the “Settings” menu, we added a new row for changing your Color Scheme.
• Depending on the Map chosen or the base colors of a Skin, if a Color Scheme conflicts with these items, an asterisk will be denoted next to the Color name.
• This will help you understand the different Color exclusions within Brawlhalla!

New Test Features

We’ve introduced the new Ledge Cancel improvement Test Feature. Ledge Cancel Dashes will always be a forward dash, and it should be easier to diagonal dodge near a soft platform instead of accidentally Ledge Canceling. 

• Ledge Cancel Dash always gives forward dash even when changing direction.
• Ledge Cancel Dashes are slightly easier to perform, and are harder to do accidentally.

Graduated Test Features

This patch is also graduating 2 previous Test Features into all queues!

• Vector’s Down Rocket Lance Signature Re-work: Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles. This attack can be charged or slide charged for greater damage.
• Disarm FX: A 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. These FX are distinct from other collision visual FX.

Game Improvements

Art & Animation

• Tweaked the Boomerang Gadget spin animation to make it more noticeable.
• Visual adjustments for Aang’s Neutral Gauntlet FX.

User Interface

• The font and layout of the HUD has been updated.
• Optimized the Battle Pass Season 2 logo and splash art to improve its UI performance.

Localization

• Thea’s base Battle Boots in English now have the correct name “PegaSwift Racers.”
• All localized terms that were added in 7.06 now have updated translations. These include terms for Thea, Volleybrawl, and Ranked Season 28.
• Ember’s Synthwave Battle Pass Skin now has the correct name “Modular Rift Ember.”

Bug Fixes

Art & Animation

• Fixed a visual bug where The Rock’s torso was not appearing.
• Fixed a bug where the Legend portrait was off by a few pixels in the HUD of Street Brawl.

Gameplay

• Fixed a bug where the Walker Attack Game Mode would end immediately at game start. (Credit:FieryTooth)
• Fixed a bug where the Boomerang gadget’s homing would reset after it hits a proximity mine. Now, it will properly be blasted away by the explosion.
• Fixed a bug with Boomerangs where it would remain in a spinning animation after hitting the floor.
• Fixed a bug where Battle Boots’ Down Air damage did not trap enemies in a bubble in the Bubble Tag Game Mode.

User Interface

• Fixed a bug where Battle Pass rewards were not centered properly.

• Additional notes: none.

New Legends – Thea, the Speedster

• Thea – “The Speedster”
• Weapons: Battle Boots, Rocket Lance
• Stats: 4 Strength, 6 Dexterity, 3 Defense, 9 Speed
• “Once Thea began winning in the Grand Tournament, a new world of possibility opened to her – endorsements. She single-handedly invented sports marketing in Asgard, and watched in delight as her Eternal Sports empire grew… At this point she’s so rich she could probably just buy the Hermes’ Helmet back from Odin, but she’s staying around to win it back instead. She doesn’t miss her life with the other Olympians. This crowd is so much livelier…and weirder.”

 

Thea sprints in with 3 new Skins:

• Gorgon Thea – “Hope you brought a shield!” Bonus: Snakes react along with Thea.
• Gridrunner Thea – “The goggles keep the bugs out.”
• Mach 25 Thea – “If you’re not first… well obviously you’re not first if you’re racing me!”

 

Thea also brings new swag into Mallhalla:

• Eternal Pottery Avatar – “Legend says that the Olympian gods were ahead of the game.”
• Thea BRB Emoji Skin – “Olympus is calling, be right back!”

For those who missed Thea’s Eternal Sports Avatar giveaway last patch, it is now available to purchase in Mallhalla!

New Test Features

We’ve added new experimental features! As revealed across our social media in the past weeks, we’re adding a new Gadget into the world of Brawlhalla – the Boomerang! This nimble Gadget hits anyone in its way when thrown, and while homing back to its thrower. We’re also testing a new short-hop accessibility feature that aims to reduce the barrier-of-entry to the advanced “fastfall” mechanic. See below for full details!

New Gadget: Boomerang

• Available to try with Test Features on, in the Experimental queue, or practice with it in Training mode.
• This Gadget flies in a large arc when thrown, homes back to its thrower, and hits anyone in its way.
• The first gadget to travel through opponents!

 

Short-hop Accessibility

• Designed to reduce the barrier-of-entry to an advanced (but often essential) game mechanic.
• It allows you to more easily be able to fastfall after a jump by allowing the ‘Down’ input to be held any time after the jump. When the minimum height threshold for fastfall is reached after jumping, you will begin fastfalling at a near-optimal time without having to wait for the minimum height threshold before pressing ‘Down’.
• More optimal timing can still be achieved by short-hopping the old fashioned way – by waiting for the minimum height threshold before pressing ‘Down’.

Disarmed Visual Effects Revisions

• Based on player feedback & internal review, we’ve updated the colors on the Disarmed Visual Effects to be more distinct from other collision FX.

Graduated Test Features

The Gadget Bounce Sound FX Test Feature that was introduced for Patch 7.05 has now graduated into all queues:

• 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!

Game Improvements

Art & Animation

• Brawlhaven and Small Brawlhaven now have animated backgrounds! Take a second to admire the grassy fields and cascading waterfall as you brawl.
• Performance improvements for Fait, Isaiah, & Sidra – these improve game performance but do not affect gameplay.

User Experience

• Players will now receive a fanfare at login every time they earn new Account XP Titles (I.E. Legend I) and Birthday Titles (I.E. Veteran of Asgard I).

Map Definitions

• Fixed a long-standing issue where the offscreen bubble would display for 1 frame at the start of a match.

Gameplay

• Adjusted the Battle Boots Down Light active input animation so that the user is crouched lower and longer, making it easier to tell when the attack is over.
• Updated the Charged OG and Pact of Poison Color scheme exclusions.

Bug Fixes

User Interface

• Fixed a bug where a “Legend II” or higher Title temporarily reverted to the previous “Legend” Title after a client reset.
• Fixed bugs in Custom Online & Couch Party lobbies where toggling “Teams” to “On” after having selected a Legend for one or more bots would not update their Color Scheme.
• Fixed a bug where clan names are displayed as “<null>” for bots in Offline Games. Bots will now not display a clan name at all.

User Experience

• Fixed a rare desync that could occur if a player got KO’d right before sudden death started on a Map that has moving platforms, particularly in the Temple Climb Game Mode.
• Fixed a bug where bots would still use the default Sidekick in Offline Games even if the player had chosen a Sidekick for them.

Art & Animation

• Fixed an animation issue with Battle Boots aerial turnaround animation where large torsos would be misaligned.

• Additional notes: none.

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.

Avatars

New Challenges

In Patch 7.02 we introduced a preview of the new Challenges system. As we continue to expand this preview, this update includes 2 more challenges for players to test their skills.

Battle Boots Offstage Carry

• This Battle Boots string demonstrates the Battle Boots ability to carry your opponent offstage.

Katar Half Pipe Variation 1

• This destructive Katar string is great when you catch your opponents without a dodge! It has many variations. Try this variation that ends with a powerful finisher!

Legend Tags

We’ve added tags in “Meet the Legends” to clarify which Legends qualify for certain Battle Pass Missions. Note that different Skins may have unique tags, so make sure to check them all out!

Player Indicator Enhancements

There are some new updates to the player indicator preferences. j

• Names and icons can now be set individually to appear over just yourself, all players, team, or no one
• New “mixed” icon mode that displays different icons per team.
• New Name/Icon size preference option allows players to make icons and/or names larger or smaller.

This update should help everyone, especially colorblind players, know which player is on which team during gameplay.These changes reflect our ongoing efforts to make Brawlhalla more accessible to all.

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.

 

Experimental Dodge Cooldown 

The Dodge Cooldown changes have been removed from Test Features. The longer cooldown proved to be too punishing and resulted in fewer moments of interaction for most players, with less incentive to maintain ground control or return to the ground.

 

Game Improvements

User Experience

• Tweaked the “Wants to Rematch” graphic to make it easier to read against detailed Podiums.

Server

• Updated server lobby abbreviation for Southern Africa from SA to SAF.

Test Features

A couple Signature Replacements have entered the Experimental Queue! Signature Replacements include larger reworks than a typical balance update and can include anything ranging from applying new behaviors like Charge Variants or Active Input to more Signatures, all the way up to entirely new Signatures for an existing Legend. 

For Isaiah’s Side Blasters, the drone now hits before the Charge time, begins much sooner, and covers more area near the user. The second Signature Replacement gives Vector an entirely new Down Rocket Lance. In this new Signature, Vector can hover left and right during the Charge time, before launching several projectiles on release. 

Give these first two Signature Replacements a try in the Experimental Queue, or in a Custom Lobby by turning on Test Features in the Lobby Settings!
