- Seven – “The Free Heart Engineer”
- Weapons: Spear, Cannon
- Stats: 7 Strength, 3 Dexterity, 8 Defense, 4 Speed
- “The Grand Tournament is a perfect testing ground for Seven’s new creations. In between matches, she’ll often hop the fence to collect the leftover bits of weaponry and armor to build something out of.”
Seven launches with a new feature on her Spear Signature attack kit called Mode Swapping. Using Spear Down Signature will add or remove a flamethrower attachment to her Spear.
- Normally, Seven’s Neutral, Side Spear, and Down Signatures are electricity based attacks, which are good for strings and combos.
- With the flamethrower equipped, her Neutral, Side Spear, and Down Signatures are fire based attacks, which hit harder and are better for KOs.
The Free Heart Engineer is always modifying her appearance – Seven arrives with 3 new Skins!
- Firefighter Seven –“Stay calm! Stop, drop, and roll!”
- Tinyfigure Seven – “Watch where you step!”
- Wanderer Seven – “A masterless robot seeking atonement, and freedom for all mechanized beings.”

For Patch 8.03, we’ve added new supported languages to Brawlhalla: Turkish and Latin-American Spanish! To change the language in-game, go to the “Options” tab from the Player Menu at the top right of the screen, select “System Settings” and toggle through the left/right arrows next to “Language” until you find your preferred one.
We want these new supported languages to work best for you, the players that will be using them, so we’re treating them the same way we treat other Experimental features. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know on our socials like Twitter and Discord.
Bots have many different personality traits now! Some like to jump more, some like to aggress and dash, or maybe you fight a Bot that likes to stay back and see what you do! Depending on the difficulty level, the Bots will have better control of their movement options and have many different levels and combinations of these personality traits and more.
Easier Bots (“Easy” through “Medium”) are able to be defeated/overpowered much quicker.
More difficult Bots (“Hard” through “Chosen”)
- Now utilize Dash and fast falling in ways they didn't before and make use of more subtle movement mechanics.
- Now have the ability to “Weapon starve” (depending on the Bot) in different ways.

Are you ready to take your place among the Legends and earn the highly coveted Valhallan Rank? The battles begin on January 10th, 2024!
With the Brawlhalla World Championship behind us, we are now in the official esports offseason. The esports offseason is a time where we can be more experimental with competitive gameplay updates.
During this offseason, you can look forward to new competitive features like the recently graduated Backdash update, a new tournament Map pool, and more frequent balance changes leading up to the start of Esports Year Nine. With each change, we will be sure to monitor feedback closely.
In Patch 8.01, the tournament Map pool was updated to feature a selection of Maps that encourage counter-picking during a best-of-three or best-of-five set in competitive play.
Competitors can now choose from a diverse selection of Maps that fit specific platform archetypes. The increased Map pool size and variety of archetypes creates situations for players to ban opponents to the kinds of Maps they want to play on. Counter picking should now have a more tangible impact on the Map pool than previously.

This balance pass is the first of several during the esports off-season. This one contains a few targeted changes at reining in certain damage-specific combo starters on overperforming weapons, while providing improvements to some key tools that were shown to be lacking during the Autumn Championship and Autumn Royale. This patch also contains Loki's first balance pass, which makes him legal for all official Brawlhalla tournaments.
Battle Boots
The Battle Boots Side Light now has slightly less rear threat coverage at the beginning of the Hit Window, allowing more consistent dodges through this attack. Similarly, we have decreased the threat coverage of the Battle Boots Down Light. We have also decreased the Hit Window for more reliable dodges and counterattacks against the Down Light, and we have increased the Recover time on miss to keep the total duration of the attack the same.
Blasters
The Blasters Neutral Air is an important tool in continuing pressure against an airborne opponent, as well as providing a defensive option when recovering back to stage. We have brought the Time to Hit slightly closer to its previous value to aid in these situations, given the inherent dead-zones in the Blasters’ far-reaching threat coverage.
Gauntlets
The Gauntlets Neutral Light would previously take too long to score knockouts, even when the opponent was far into red health, so we have increased the Force to provide more timely knockouts when compared to other similar attacks. The Gauntlets Neutral Air now has significantly less Stun to require tighter timing on team combos, to provide wider escape windows when off-stage against this weapon, and to open a dodge window between this attack and the Neutral Light.
Greatsword
We have reduced the Time to Hit for the Greatsword Neutral Finisher from Down Bridge for more consistent strikes against opponents who opt for a dash between Greatsword chain attacks. The Greatsword Down Air had too much freedom of movement for its range and utility, so we have reduced the maximum allowed acceleration to be closer in line with other similar attacks.
Orb
The Orb Recovery now maintains the upper range of its Stun value for a longer portion of the Hit Window. This provides a more consistent frame advantage for most of the Hit Window. We have also increased the lower range of Force near the end of this attack for more consistent knockouts when striking at the very end of the Hit Window.
Rocket Lance
The Rocket Lance Neutral Air's Stun now has a sharper decrease over the course of its duration and a slightly lower starting value. This will maintain a more steady frame advantage value regardless of what part of the arc strikes the opponent, which opens dodge windows between the Neutral Air and follow-up attacks.
Scythe
The Scythe Down Air now has less Force for the forward version to better match the backwards Active Input version. This decrease in Force maintains the dodge window between the Down Air and other follow-up attacks for a broader range of health values, for more reliable escapes when recovering back to the stage.
Spear
We have decreased the Stun of Spear Side Light to widen dodge windows between large follow-up attacks such as the Neutral Air or certain Signatures, as well as requiring a tighter input from the user to consistently follow-up with a Down Light. The Spear Side Air has also received a decrease in Stun to open a dodge window between follow-up attacks, like the Neutral Light.
Azoth
Azoth's Neutral Bow would often be too slow to catch an opponent's high degree of aerial mobility, so it now has a faster Minimum Charge time for more reliable use as an anti-air.
Loki
Loki's Side Scythe was too quick for its total threat coverage and power, so we have increased its Minimum Charge time and Recover time to allow more room to dodge and respond against this attack. We have also decreased its maximum vertical threat coverage to make it easier to contest from above. Loki's Down Katars has received a decrease in Damage to better match its overall range and utility.
Sentinel
Sentinel's Down Hammer has received an increase in Damage to better match its long Time to Hit and telegraphed movement.
Sir Roland
Sir Roland's Side Sword now has a faster Minimum Charge time to better match its lengthy commitment and duration. We have also shifted the Damage to focus on the final hit, as it would previously deal far too little Damage when striking with only the stab. Sir Roland's Down Sword now has greater Force since it would previously take too long to score knockouts with the middle and end of the attack when compared to other similar attacks.
Yumiko
It was previously too easy to maneuver around Yumiko's Down Bow projectiles, so we have reduced the Recover time of this Signature so the user can apply more consistent pressure after using this unique attack.
