Patch 9.06
| ||||||||||
Overview
At long last, brawl has the one and only kaleesh cyborg, and leader of the Separatist droid army himself, General Grievous.
We’re reactivating the Brawlhalla Star Wars Event to celebrate May the 4th and 20 years of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith™! Grievous has been highly requested since Wave I and we’re buzzing more than his spinning lightsabers to introduce him as a Mythic Crossover for Mako.
To make this a true Star Wars celebration, we’re also introducing the first ever free, earnable Epic Weapon Skin, the Death Star Hologram Orb! Exclusively during the first week of the Event, land 30 Orb KO’s to earn this Epic Weapon Skin completely free! (Why not try and complete the mission with Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader? ⚔️)
Another fine addition for your collection, we’ve also added the Asgardian Great Lightsaber Epic Weapon Skin for Greatsword. A fully color-swappable lightsaber featuring blade animation, light attack FX swaps, and custom sounds. Available now in Mallhalla.
Beneath familiar stars – Mammoths have also been hard at work to deliver some terrific QOL features/updates in 9.06! We’re talking about a massive Image Render Tool Update, Visual & Performance Updates, and Bug Fixes!

Massive Image Render Tool Update!
The Image Render Tool on PC & Mac just got even better! 😎🖼️ In a host of new updates, you can now export animations, search for specific items, export multiple renders at once, and export new Podium “Pose” animations!
- The image render now allows you to export animations as well as single frames!
- Animations can be exported as Animated PNGs, or image sequences in their own folder within the “Brawlhalla Renders” folder.
- Includes an additional option for exporting Attacks animation that allows for the image bounds to expand so the character follows the attack’s movement.
- The image render tool now has a search option!
- Use the new search bar to find a specific cosmetic item faster.
- Applies to
- Legends
- Legend Skins
- Weapon Skins
- Color Schemes
- Emotes
- Sidekicks
- There is an advanced setting for Animated Emotes to export them with a loop or no loop.
- Signature Attack Exports can either be anchored or follow their movement direction.
- Podiums can now be rendered in their Ready, Lock-In, Victory, or Defeat poses.
Please Note: while using newer features of the Image Render Tool, some exports may take longer to render than others depending on scale. If you notice your Brawlhalla client goes still, just know it’s thinking hard to complete your export!
Brawlhalla Fan Kit
We’ve also been utilizing the power of the newly updated Image Render Tool to create our most comprehensive Fan Kit ever! Want to quickly grab an Animated PNG or image sequence of Mordex’s Scythe Side Sig? It’s already been exported and shared in the Fan Kit with many, many more!

Visual and Performance Updates
New Charge FX
Brawlers got an early preview in the previous patch, and in Patch 9.06 we’ve fully implemented the new unarmed Charge FX.
- The new FX are specially hand-drawn animation to better telegraph a charging unarmed or Signature attack, and honestly, they just look much nicer now!
Neutral Greatsword Light Attack FX Update
We’ve updated the FX on Greatsword Neutral Bridge out of Side Light to better indicate the full hitbox.
Mako Performance Improvements
We’ve done an additional performance pass on Mako’s base Signature kit for improved visual & overall game performance.
Game Improvements
UI
- The features page now supports up to 3 pages and 30 items. Check out some cool items you may not have yet!
Bug Fixes
Gameplay
- Fixed a bug where you weren’t able to enter messages into the chatbox while spectating or queueing.
- Fixed a bug that allowed certain attacks to follow up with the same move during Chase dodge. (credit: Guichabou)
- Fixed a bug where spectating a match while in Mallhalla would cause some things to disappear.
- Fixed a bug that caused some multi-hit setup attacks to improperly place targets.
Art & Animation
- Made performance updates to Rocket Lance’s light attack FX.
- Adjusted the layering on Hunter’s Character Select animation for forearm-covering Blasters Skins.
- Fixed a visual bug on Spear and Rocket Lance where Weapons thrown straight up or down would flip to the opposite side.
- Fixed an issue where Avatars would randomly resize when using the Cape or Flag Emotes.
UX
- Fixed a bug where the default Victory and Defeat Emotes were being unequipped on a new login.
- Fixed a bug where Crossovers that have an associated Companion were failing to auto-equip that Companion if the player had not yet saved a loadout for that Legend (or if the saved loadout predated the addition of Companions to loadouts).
UI
- Fixed an occasional visual bug where, when navigating the player inventory menu using a mouse, the toggle/replace favorites tooltip would disappear.
- Fixed an existing bug where the Glory icon wasn’t appearing under the Rotating Ranked Queue.
- Fixed a bug where some Battle Pass missions weren’t displaying their icons in post-game screens and the Battle Pass Mission Screen.
- Small edit to the Latin American Spanish description of the “Horde” Brawl of the Week
