Mordex has achieved his final form. His reign of ultimate power begins soon!

Starting May 20th, Brawlhalla Fest returns! That means a bunch of free stuff to earn like the Blood Moon Colors & the Lycan Trinity Podium, and a brand new Ascended Skin.

Cross Inventory | Cross Progression

• The 30 day login requirement for Cross Inventory and Cross Progression is being lifted for eligible accounts. Players will still need to log in once on each linked platform after Brawlhalla Fest 2026 begins, but going forward eligible account links for those platforms won’t expire. If the account is not considered eligible, the 30 day login requirement will be in effect. This eligibility is set on a platform by platform basis.

UX

• New “View in Battle Pass” button. When previewing an unowned Battle Pass Skin in the Meet the Legends page, you can now select it to be sent to the Battle Pass screen.

Art & Animation

• Adjusted the animation on the following Emotes for Patrick Star: Shrug, Next Level, Fireworks, Hero Cape, & Guitar Solo.

Localization

• The Cockatiel Munin Heatwave Skin was renamed to Cockatoo Munin to more accurately reflect its inspiration of the sulphur-crested cockatoo.

UI

• Fixed a visual bug where stat bars sometimes wouldn’t reset after deselecting Legends.
• Fixed a bug in the Guild Duels page where opposing Guilds were not showing the proper top 3 contributors.

UX

• Fixed a bug where birthday and account level Titles weren’t being shown in player inventories.
• Fixed an issue where Legends using the Super Strength Stance to go up to 11 Strength weren’t usable in some Game Modes.

Dexterity Weapon Durability Modifier

We’ve found that the weapon durability modifier needs to be a bit more aggressive on the low end of Dexterity to provide the desired variety. With Super Stances allowing for a wider spread of stat options for each Legend, we can now use this sharper durability curve.

• Increased the damage multiplier for Weapon durability at low Dexterity.

Super Stance Adjustments

We’ve adjusted some Super Stances for Legends with highly concentrated points in one stat to offer a better balance of options across their available stances.

Arcadia

• Super Speed now takes 1 point from the Strength stat and 1 point from the Dexterity stat.
• Super Defense now takes 2 points from the Dexterity stat.
• Super Strength now takes 1 point from the Defense stat and 1 point from the Speed stat.
• Super Dexterity now takes 2 points from the Strength stat.

Koji

• Super Defense now takes 2 points from the Dexterity stat.
• Super Strength now takes 1 point from the Dexterity stat and 1 point from the Speed stat.

Lady Vera

• Super Speed now takes 2 points from the Defense stat.

Loki

• Super Strength now takes 2 points from the Dexterity stat.

Lord Vraxx

• Super Speed stance now takes 2 points from the Dexterity stat.

Lucien

• Super Dexterity stance now takes 2 points from the Speed stat.

Petra

• Super Dexterity now takes 2 points from the Strength stat.

Thatch

• Super Speed stance now takes 2 points from the Strength stat.

Thea

• Super Defense now takes 2 points from the Speed stat.

Volkov

• Super Speed now takes 2 points from the Dexterity stat.

Attack Balance

Now that the Spring Championship has finished and Super Stances are legal for tournament use, we have a few adjustments to key attacks and Signatures leading up to the Midseason Championship.

Blasters

We have changed the Recover time of the Blasters Neutral Light to create slightly different breakpoints for the frame advantage on hit based on Dexterity. This opens a dodge window between the Neutral Light and other followup attacks.

• Blasters Neutral Light: Changed total Recover time on hit from 0 Fixed/13 Variable to 1 Fixed/12 Variable.

Cannon

The Cannon has received threat coverage reductions to its Neutral Light, Down Light, and Side Air to allow for easier maneuvering around these attacks.

• Cannon Neutral Light: Slightly decreased vertical threat coverage of the initial attack.
• Cannon Down Light: Decreased threat coverage at the top of the attack, and at the extreme front of the attack.
• Cannon Side Air: Decreased threat coverage at the leading edges of the attack.

Orb

While the other recent nerfs to the Orb kit have proven healthy, the Side Light’s Time to Hit change was found to be too detrimental. We have restored the Side Light’s Time to Hit to its previous value for better use in the neutral game and dodge punish strings.

• Orb Side Light: Decreased Time to Hit from 12 to 10.

Spear

Similar to the Orb, we have decreased the Spear’s Time to Hit to allow for more responsive use during the neutral game and dodge punish strings.

• Spear Side Light: Decreased Time to Hit from 13 to 11.

Ada

Ada’s Down Spear had a very low Stun value that made this attack risky to use on low-to-mildly damaged opponents. We have increased the Stun to bring this attack in line with other similar options and to be less risky to use during the early-middle ranges of an opponent’s stock.

• Ada Down Spear: Increased Stun from 18 to 30.

Munin

Munin’s Neutral Bow now has less Minimum Charge time for more responsive use as an anti-air attack. Munin’s Down Bow now has greater Force and a more horizontal knockback angle at most ranges to bring its knockout potential closer in line with other similar options.

• Munin Neutral Bow: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 16 to 12.
• Munin Down Bow: Increased Force from 58 Fixed/51 Variable to 58 Fixed/53 Variable; Knockback angle becomes horizontal at a closer range than before.

Tezca

Given Tezca’s popularity and winrate in Doubles tournaments, we have increased Minimum Charge times, Recover times, and decreased the Force of Tezca’s Neutral Gauntlets, Side Gauntlets, and Down Gauntlets to bring these options closer in line with those of other Legends.

• Tezca Neutral Gauntlets: Increased total Recover time on miss from 26 to 30; Decreased Force of the aerial version from 50 Fixed/20 Variable to 50 Fixed/15 Variable; Decreased Force of the grounded version from 65 Fixed/52 Variable to 60 Fixed/49 Variable.
• Tezca Side Gauntlets: Increased Minimum Charge time from 15 to 17; Increased total Recover time on miss from 20 to 24; Decreased Force from 58 Fixed/48 Variable to 58 Fixed/46 Variable.
• Tezca Down Gauntlets: Increased Minimum Charge time from 12 to 15; Increased total Recover time of the grounded version from 14 to 17; Decreased Force of the grounded version from 62 Fixed/50 Variable to 60 Fixed/48 Variable; Decreased Force of the aerial version from 45 Fixed/38 Variable to 45 Fixed/34 Variable.

Thea

Thea’s Neutral Rocket Lance now has greater Damage and Force for increased reward as an anti-air attack. We have also decreased the Recover time of Thea’s Side Rocket Lance to bring its risk in line with other similar attacks.

• Thea Neutral Rocket Lance: Increased damage from 24 to 26; Increased Force from 62 Fixed/54 Variable to 62 Fixed/56 Variable.
• Thea Side Rocket Lance: Decreased total Recover time on miss from 22 to 20.

Thor

Thor’s Side Orb and Down Orb now have greater Damage to be on par with most other Signatures, and we have increased their knockout potential to better fit the Orb’s overall kit.

• Thor Side Orb: The knockback angle is now more horizontal; Increased total damage from 24 to 26; Focused more of the damage into the final hit.
• Thor Down Orb: Increased total damage from 23 to 25; Increased Force from 61 Fixed/50 Variable to 63 Fixed/52 Variable.

Volkov

We have increased the Damage of Volkov’s Down Axe, Neutral Scythe, Side Scythe, and Down Scythe to better fit their overall duration and risk. We have also shuffled most of the Damage for the Down Axe and Side Scythe into the final hit to give better average reward even when striking with only the later part of the attack.

• Volkov Down Axe: Increased total damage from 24 to 27; Focused most of the damage into the final hit.
• Volkov Neutral Scythe: Increased total damage from 24 to 26.
• Volkov Side Scythe: Increased total damage from 24 to 27; Focused most of the damage into the final hit.
• Volkov Down Scythe: Increased total damage from 23 to 25.

Zariel

Zariel’s Neutral Bow now has greater Recover time on miss for easier punishes against this anti-air attack. We have also decreased the Force to bring its reward in line with its overall utility. Zariel’s Side Gauntlets now have greater Minimum Charge time for easier reaction, maneuvering, and punishes against this attack.

• Zariel Neutral Bow: Increased total Recover time on miss from 16 to 19; Decreased Force of the ground and aerial versions from 50 Fixed/50 Variable to 50 Fixed/47 Variable.
• Zariel Side Gauntlets: Increased Minimum Charge time from 13 to 16.
