Patch 8.15
| ||||||||||
Overview
Welcome King Zuva – a charismatic and revered leader who wields his Hammer and Battle Boots with the force of a Stampede!
When his reign ended, he stepped from the sunset savannahs into the halls of Valhalla. He is pleased to see that this warrior’s paradise has no shortage of worthy adversaries that can match his full strength.
Patch 8.15 also brings the first wave of updates to our UI, new Items in Mallhalla, bug fixes, game improvements, and so much more!
Boo! 🦇 The scariest Event in Valhalla is upon us when Brawlhalloween returns on October 23rd with over 15 Skins, the Haunting Colors, a new Podium, and seasonal items galore. 🎃
New Legend: King Zuva
- King Zuva – “The Stampede”
- Weapons: Hammer, Battle Boots
- Stats: 8 Strength, 6 Defense, 4 Dexterity, 4 Speed
- “As Zuva grew from a prince to king, so too did his ambitions and appetite for greatness. One by one, the surrounding kingdoms bent the knee to his might, but Zuva was just in his victories and carried each kingdom on his back to the bountiful river so they could all thrive under one banner. When earthquakes and foes struck out against his empire, his hammer struck back. Now, the only time the ground shakes is when Zuva goes for his early morning jog.”

User Interface Refresh: Wave 1
Take a look at our first wave of updates to the UI!
After last year’s refresh of our logo and branding, we were inspired to link the in-game UI with this new aesthetic. You’ll notice splash art displayed in Legend select, a brand new look for the top right player menu, new fonts, all new buttons, and much much more. So fancy!
This is the first installment of a series of changes we’ll be making to our UI to get this awesome new look fully implemented across the game.
