January Open Bash - Final Results and Stats!
This weekend we held a BIGMOON BASH where all Beasties were allowed!
This was the first open bash since our major balance patch at the end of 2025. It was also the first open bash with Weepy added, Rally changed, and other sweeping changes that were brought along... so it's exciting to see how the results lined up. Without further ado, here are the top-scoring players this time around!
[h2]👑 Top-Scoring Players[/h2]
The median Bash Score this time was 1916. Following the Steam Winter Sale, I think a LOT of new players joined us this time around, which naturally means the average score is a bit lower...
A warm welcome to 苍庁龙, our first leaderboard player whose game wasn't set to English! Even I ran into them when playing at weird hours during the Bash... they wiped the floor with me. It's exciting to see players from across the globe scoring higher in the rankings, mixed in with many names already familiar to anyone who's seen past Bash results!
[h2]📊 Beastie Usage Stats![/h2]
As has become tradition, we've collected a ton of data on Beastie usage during this event and we're happy to share that data with you for further investigation!
[h3]> Check out the STATS here![/h3]
The number one most-used Beastie was... WHO? This is the first open Bash where the #1 most used Beastie wasn't a starter or spreckomorph! A huge honor for Daredillo! Could this be because Daredillo is an overpowered monster in the meta right now?! No... to be honest, I'm pretty sure it's because they finally got animation in the last Milestone update. We might have underestimated just how popular they are...
As always, this data collection is some of the most important we can do toward building balance patches. But typically it takes quite a lot of games before we can start to accurately assess bigger trends worth addressing.

If you're reading this, I'd recommend you check out the upcoming fan-organized Bring the Heat tourney! These events are open to all and will expose you to other opponents who want to play seriously. Even if you don't think you have the skills to win, it can be really fun to jump in and see just how far you can go!
The next Bash will be something a little bit different (which I'm very excited for...!). And it will be a bit less serious... so if you're enthusiastic about a team you put together for this Bash and you want to push it further, then Bring the Heat is definitely there for you.
