New Option: Collapse Upgrades

A new feature has been added into this Battle Pass that allows players to select which level of the Progression Skin and Podium to equip! 

• “Collapse Upgrades” is a new system setting that will be enabled on default.
• When disabling “Collapse Upgrades,” players will be able to see all three versions of the Progression Skin and Progression Podium separately.
• This enables players to choose their preference in Progression Skin and Podium when equipping their inventory!

New Missions for Battle Pass

This Synthwave Battle Pass comes with new missions!

• Daily, Weekly, and General missions are available throughout the season.
• Earn Battle Gems by completing missions to earn rewards!
• Battle Gems measure a player’s progress toward the next reward tier.
• Unlocking the Gold track will grant more missions for more opportunities to earn Battle Gems and rewards.

Earn Battle Gems to Level Up 

Each week, new missions will unlock, granting new opportunities to earn more Battle Gems while still allowing previous missions to be completed. 

• Battle Gems are earned by completing missions in matchmaking games except for Brawl of the Week.
• Players can get even more Battle Gems just by playing Brawlhalla. Any matchmaking game rewards Battle Points that advance the Earn Battle Points mission.
  • Completing the mission gives players Gems and a new more challenging Earn Battle Points mission.

Players can unlock over 100 rewards during the Battle Pass season, so grab your favorite Legend and start brawling. Players can also use Mammoth Coins to increase progress along the track while the season is active. For more information, check out brawlhalla.com/battlepass.

We’ve recently added some new Test Features regarding Unarmed Clashes and Throw Clashes aimed at accentuating armed combat. 

Unarmed now loses all clashes with armed attacks, giving players with the Weapon advantage more reliable approaches not only on stage, but also when edge-guarding or recovering back to the stage.

The feature for Throw Clashes is directed at improving the reliability of multi-hit attacks against a late close-range thrown object. It is possible for such throws to interrupt attacks that have long animations or multiple setup hits, whereas single hit attacks always deliver their full effect. 

Striking an opponent grants momentary protection from their thrown objects to allow multi-hit attacks to deliver their full effect, however this does not grant protection from objects thrown by other players to preserve team saves and interrupts. Protection also does not apply to thrown objects that have already been active for a moderate duration to preserve calculated setups.

We have also temporarily removed the Soft Platform QoL feature while we continue to iterate on it internally, to allow room for other Test Features to cycle more rapidly.

Let us know your thoughts about these newly added Test Features! For more information, visit brawlhalla.com/test-features.

Added to Test Features:

Unarmed Clashes:

• Unarmed attacks will always lose to armed attacks if they hit each other on the same frame.
• This takes precedence over the existing rules for Signatures vs Light Attacks and Grounded vs Air Attacks.

Throw Clashes:

• Hitting an enemy gives some protection from recently thrown Weapons.
• If an enemy is stunned from your Light Attack or Signature and you would be hit by their thrown Weapon, the hit is ignored.
• This does not apply to thrown Weapons that have been active for over 25 frames, the Sidekick Gadget attack, or explosions from Bombs or Mines.

We also added a new option in Training Mode called “Use Certain Attacks” to aid players in practicing against specific attacks.

• This option forces the AI bot to use a subset of their kit, like only Signatures or only Side Light, to make it easier to practice against certain attacks.
• The option is only available when the AI Setting is set to Easy through Chosen.
• The selected difficulty impacts how the moves are used. The AI bot will mix in Dash attacks on Extreme and above and Gravity Cancels on Chosen.
