“Mistake not my kindness for weakness. Come, I will show you just how compassionate my blades can be!” Introducing Priya, the Radiant Blade who shines onstage and revels in the brawl!

Priya joins the Grand Tournament with her divine Shakti Sword and introduces the new Weapon: Chakram! This new Weapon has the ability to Mode Swap between a fused single-bladed version and a split two-bladed version by using Down Light. 

The season of love (and twos) is also nearing! Valhallentines 2025 begins next week, bringing the Sweet vs. Sour Skirmish, new & seasonal Cosmetics, and introducing Store Bundles.

To catch the latest Brawlhalla news and content, be sure to follow us on Twitch, TikTok, Discord, YouTube, X (Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook!

• 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.

“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.

UX
