Mallhalla UI Update
We’ve overhauled Mallhalla’s UI on PC! This is a first preview and ongoing process of updating our UI. Now you can search the store, filter each tab, and sort Items by release order, coin price, or alphabetically.
Some examples of filters: Skins can be filtered by the Legends you own, Epic, and/or Sale. Crossovers can also be filtered by Epic and/or Mythic. Skins & Colors can be filtered by “Limited Time” when a seasonal Event is active, and all of these have an option to hide owned Items.
Level 100 Rewards
Now when you reach level 100 on a Legend, that Legend’s name will display in Gold!
The Gold Legend name will appear only on the following screens:
- Pre-match loading screen
- Podium display in all game lobbies, including post-match screen, Ranked, custom games, Brawl of the Week, etc.
- Meet the Legends
This only affects you, players playing as a Legend you have level 100 for will display in the standard color.
Test Features
Post Hitstun Dodge Consistency has graduated from Test Features! Follow-up attacks are made more consistent across all Weapons by making Dash no longer able to get a player out of a combo earlier than a Dodge would. Certain attacks that proved to benefit too greatly from this feature have received adjustments that can be found in the Balance section.
The Dodge/Dash input already forces a Dodge when pressed while coming out of hitstun for 4 frames.
- A special case allowing players to bypass this with a Dash using a down-diagonal input has been removed.
The Dash input is now locked out for 4 frames while coming out of hitstun.
- This prevents players from being able to escape a dodgeable combo while their Dodge is down in some cases.
Balance
We have made a number of adjustments aimed at providing more appropriate risk to certain pivotal attacks on overperforming weapons and Legends, while reducing the risk or providing additional reward to attacks that have fallen behind the curve. This patch also contains Vivi’s first round of balance changes, which makes her legal for use in official Brawlhalla tournaments.
Weapons
| Weapon | Changes |
|---|---|
 Axe |
The Axe Ground Pound now has less threat coverage at the rear of the user during ground collision to provide a more consistent avenue for countering or escaping from this sizable attack.
|
 Battle Boots |
We have increased the Minimum Charge time of the Battle Boots Ground Pound to better match its relatively wide threat coverage and to grant a slightly larger Dodge Window when used as a follow-up attack.
|
 Blasters |
While the Blasters Down Light is a combo starter that can lead to another attack, the Damage dealt by the Down Light itself was highly subject to positioning. We have focused most of the Damage into the final hit of the attack and slightly increased the total Damage to provide a much more consistent reward when striking from farther distances.
|
 Cannon |
The Cannon Neutral Air could rotate into other attacks too quickly when performed close to the ground, so we have increased the minimum Recover time on ground collision and reduced the window for ground detection to allow for more consistent counterattacks against this quick aerial option. The aerial Recover time and maximum Recover time on ground collision remain unchanged.
|
 Greatsword |
We have delayed the attack and movement cancel windows for the Greatsword Side Light Opener on miss to provide a greater window to maneuver around the user and begin a counterattack against this far-reaching Opener. This also brings the Side Light Opener’s risk closer in line with its more reliable reward due to Post Hitstun Dodge Consistency’s graduation from Test Features.
The Greatsword Neutral Air now has less allowed acceleration during the attack and Recover time on miss to better match its overall speed and size.
|
 Katars |
With Post Hitstun Dodge Consistency graduating from Test Features, we have increased the Recover time on miss for the Katars Down Air on ground collision to better match the more reliable reward that can be gained from this air-to-ground string starter.
|
 Rocket Lance |
The Rocket Lance Side Light now has slightly less Recover time on miss to better keep pace with the game’s increased movement options on the ground and better match the risk with its relatively thin threat coverage.
|
 Scythe |
The Scythe Down Light now has greater Recover time on miss to better match its more reliable use as a follow-up attack and more reliable reward from the graduation of Post Hitstun Dodge Consistency.
|
Legends
| Legend | Changes |
|---|---|
We have greatly increased the Stun time of Bödvar’s Neutral Hammer and Side Hammer, and slightly increased the Stun time of his Down Hammer, to provide greater positional reward at low and mid health ranges. This also removes a number of cases where these attacks could be punishable on hit.
| |
Kor’s Neutral Hammer now has slightly less Minimum Charge time for greater responsiveness as an anti-air attack and to better offset its relatively slow bloom in threat coverage.
| |
We have reduced the Minimum Charge time and Recover time for Nix’s Side Blasters to better match its lengthy total duration and relatively slow travel speed.
| |
| We have greatly increased the Stun time of Scarlet’s Neutral Hammer and grounded Side Hammer to provide greater positional advantage at low and mid health ranges, as well as reduce the number of cases where these attacks could be punishable on hit.
We have also increased the Damage and Stun time of Scarlet’s Down Hammer to better match its total duration and reduce the number of cases where it could be punishable on hit.
| |
Tezca’s Side Gauntlets now has less vertical and horizontal threat coverage during the spin, providing a wider avenue to interrupt Tezca and rescue a grabbed teammate.
| |
Ulgrim’s Down Axe now has greater Minimum Charge time to better match its generous threat coverage and utility.
| |
| We have increased the Minimum Charge time of Vivi’s Neutral and Side Battle Boots to provide greater windows to Dodge these attacks.
The wall version of Vivi’s Neutral Blasters now has less Force to bring its knockout range in line with other spiking Signatures.
|
