Become a Valhallan in Ranked Season 26!



Get ready to test your strength in the most competitive Ranked Season yet. Introducing the new rank: Valhallan! Players will showdown to prove their mastery in the Grand Tournament, and only the top players in each region will be granted this ultimate rank and its exclusive spoils. Prove you’re one of Odin’s mightiest warriors! 

Last week we added placement matches for players beginning their ranked climb. Players will have the opportunity to play 10 placement matches to better determine their skill level and starting Elo.

For players new to seasons, we’ve provided a rundown on what you need to know so you can jump right into battle and fight your way to the top. Check out our breakdown on Ranked Tiers and the Elo reset below.

To catch the latest Brawlhalla news and content, be sure to follow us on Twitter, Twitch, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Discord!



Valhallan is a brand new rank above Diamond. The Valhallan rank is distinctly different from the other tiers; how you become Valhallan, the rewards you earn, and how you fall out of it all work in brand new ways compared to the other ranks in Brawlhalla.

How to Reach the Valhallan Rank


To become Valhallan, players must be ranked in Diamond, have at least 100 wins during the ranked season, and attain a rating among the top players in their region.

Each region has a limited number of Valhallan positions:

  • US-E / EU – Top 150
  • BRZ – Top 100
  • SEA / US-W – Top 50
  • AUS / JPN – Top 25
These numbers are based on each region’s population and will be considered for adjustment on a seasonal basis.

Unique Valhallan Rewards


After ranking up, players will immediately receive the Valhallan Avatar, Loading Frame, and Season Title Reward.

Valhallan Loading Frame: 

  • Unlike other ranked Loading Frames, the Valhallan Loading Frame can only be used while the player is currently in the Valhallan rank. Players are granted it immediately upon achieving Valhallan and if they are pushed out of Valhallan rank, the Loading Frame will be revoked when the daily reset occurs (9am UTC/5am EDT/2am PDT).
Valhallan Title Reward:

  • Players are awarded a Title immediately upon achieving Valhallan. Each season will have a unique Valhallan Title Reward. The Title is never revoked, regardless of rank.
Valhallan Avatar:

  • Instead of an Avatar that upgrades at the end of each season, the Valhallan Avatar is awarded immediately upon achieving Valhallan.
  • The Valhallan Avatar has two states: active and inactive. The active Avatar is rewarded immediately upon achieving the Valhallan rank, but can be downgraded to the inactive “Fallen” state if players fall out of Valhallan rank when the daily reset occurs.
  • To reactivate the Avatar, players need to reach the Valhallan rank again. Players will retain ownership of the Avatar between seasons, but it will be in the “Fallen” state at the start of every season.




Season 26 – Rewards and Soft Elo reset! 


For players who are new to Seasons: At the beginning of every new season you’ll have a soft Elo reset, your placement matches will be reset, and you'll receive Glory – the currency you earn by playing Ranked. You can use Glory in the Ranked section of Malhalla to get special Colors, Weapon Skins, Emotes, and UI Themes to show off your ranked experience. We hope you enjoy your rewards and the New Season! 

New Placement Matches & Elo Calculation Updates 


New for Season 26, players beginning their Ranked climb now have 10 placement matches to better determine their skill level and starting Elo.

  • Each season, for Ranked 1v1 and Ranked 2v2, your first 10 matches will serve as placement matches that will have a greater effect on your rating than normal games. Your rating will be hidden until after you have completed your placement matches for that queue.
  • After a ranked season reset, players will still have their Elo undergo a soft reset as usual.
Starting with Season 26 we are adjusting how Elo gains and losses are made in the upper extremes of rating.

  • These changes will only occur for players above 2400 Elo rating.
  • Based on simulations of this tuning for our rating system, we expect it to result in player rankings (leaderboard order) which are more closely tied to underlying skill levels.
We hope this change will make this new season more exciting, and will help our matchmaking system to arrive at fairer matches earlier in the season.

Soft Elo Reset Formula 


Soft Elo Reset is based on your current Elo at the end of the season. 

1v1 and 2v2 Personal Rating 

  • Under 1400: New Elo = Old Elo
  • Over 1400: New Elo = 1400 + (Old Elo – 1400) / (3 – (3000 – Old Elo) / 800)
  • 2v2 Team and Legend Rating
2v2 Team & Legend Ratings have been brought closer to 750.

  • Under 2000: Elo = (Elo + 375) / 1.5
  • Over 2000, we aggressively brought you back down as a way of resetting the top tiers.
Glory Earnings Calculation 


Glory earned is based on a combination of your Highest Peak Rating (highest 1v1, 2v2, team, or Legend rating/Elo) and total Wins. This was designed in order to reward both skill and dedication for those who pursue Glory. 

You gain 20 Glory per win up to 150 wins, which gets you 3000 Glory. After 150 wins, each subsequent win gives you slightly less. 

Note: There is a minimum requirement of 10 games played to be eligible for Glory based on your rating. For help estimating your Glory Gained or New Elo after the reset go to: brawlhalla.com/glory-calculator/ 



Ranked Borders from Season 25


If you placed Gold, Platinum, or Diamond at any point in the season, you are given a ranked border based on your highest rank that other players can see in the match preview screen. These will last for one season and will be updated again after the new season comes to a close. 

Your border from any previous season does not carry over or have any impact on your current border reward. 

Ranked Avatars from Season 25


Ranked Avatars include prestigious versions for those who’ve placed in high ranks during previous seasons. For example, if you placed in Platinum last season and Gold this season, you’ll receive the upgraded versions of the Competitor’s Badge and Gold Emblem. You will still have your original Platinum Emblem avatar from previous seasons. 

You must play a minimum of 10 games to receive ranked avatars / borders at ANY rank.

  • Competitor’s Badge: Awarded to anyone who plays 10 Ranked Games or more.
  • Gold Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Gold or above.
  • Platinum Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Platinum or above.
  • Diamond Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Diamond.
  • Upgraded versions of Ranked Avatars are awarded to those who have earned the same Avatar in any previous season.
For players who have reached the 5th Tier of an avatar by reaching a certain rank or higher for five total seasons: the 5th Tier of that avatar will stay in your inventory permanently! Congratulations on your achievements! 

The 6th Tier Avatar, for those who have reached a certain rank or higher for six total seasons, will take on a brand new look! These avatars will grow more and more prestigious with each subsequent seasonal repeat up to Tier 10, at which point the Tier 10 avatar will remain in your inventory permanently. 

In short, every 5 Tiers of Avatars, you’ll keep the most awesome, most decked out version permanently, and then start work on a new version for subsequent tiers for 6-10, 11-15, and so on. 

Players can continue to earn Glory mid-season and earn exclusive Title Rewards. With every new season, the Seasonal Ranked Queue’s Elo will do a full reset. 

New Ranked Game Mode – Street Brawl


Get ready to FIGHT in Street Brawl – featured in the Seasonal Ranked Queue! Choose your fighter and brawl in 1v1, 8-minute matches. Go for broke and knock out your opponents into oblivion!



Exclusive Ranked Rewards – Skyforged & Goldforged! 


Beyond glory there is immortality! In Mallhalla, in the “Ranked” tab, players may spend their hard-earned Glory to purchase Skyforged Colors, Weapons, UI Theme, Emotes, and Sidekicks. Skyforged Colors are only usable on Legends that have reached level 5 or greater. 

Players can also purchase Goldforged items, which require the purchase of the Skyforged version of the same item. Show your strength with these exclusive Ranked items!

We’ll also be adding new Skyforged & Goldforged Emojis to the Ranked Store in the next patch. Consider saving your Glory to be among the first to use these exclusive items!

Players beginning their ranked climb now have 10 placement matches to better determine their skill level and starting Elo.

  • Each season, for Ranked 1v1 and Ranked 2v2, your first 10 matches will serve as placement matches that will have a greater effect on your Elo than normal games. Your rating will be hidden until after you have completed your placement matches for that queue.
  • For Ranked Season 25, any players who have already played 10 matches will be unaffected by this.
  • After a ranked season reset, players will still have their Elo undergo a soft reset as usual.

Starting with Season 26 we are adjusting how Elo gains and losses are made for top level players.

  • We have run simulations of this tuning for our rating system: we expect it to result in player rankings (leaderboard order) which are more closely tied to underlying skill levels.
  • These changes will only occur for players above 2400 Elo rating.

We hope this change will make the new season more exciting, and will help our matchmaking system to arrive at fairer matches earlier in the season.





Coming in Ranked Season 26 on October 5th, Diamond ranked players in 1v1 and 2v2 who have won 100+ matches and reached the top of their region will be greeted with a new ranking, Valhallan.

  • Upon achieving the new rank players will receive a new Avatar, Loading Frame, and Title.
  • Players that have achieved Valhallan rank but are pushed out of the range will lose the Valhallan Loading Frame and see their Avatars dim to a fallen status. Loading Frames will be regained and Avatars will reactivate upon reentering the Valhallan Rank.

Learn more about the Valhallan rank by visiting brawlhalla.com/news/new-rank-valhallan.





Training Mode in Queue is here and in every matchmaking mode! Players queuing for all game modes can now choose to be put into a 1v1 training mode vs a bot while waiting for their match.

  • This option can be toggled on and off in the Preferences section of the top right menu.
  • This also includes the ability to frame-step and use the Power Viewer.
  • Training Mode in Queue currently uses the 1v1 Ranked Map set.
  • Queuing with multiple local players will still always put the queuing players in a bot FFA match.




We’ve integrated Network Next into Brawlhalla for Windows. Network Next is designed to improve your network connection to our servers. It will continuously monitor your connection to see if it can find a more efficient route to our servers and it will reroute when it finds an improvement. If your route to our servers is already optimal it will keep using that route. This performance update will help fix temporary internet problems that can cause issues between you and our servers. 

Network Next is enabled by default to monitor and improve all player connections. We have included an option to disable Network Next for any users in special circumstances who may prefer using an external VPN, such as ExitLag, to improve their connection route instead of Brawlhalla's built-in Network Next solution, as using both at the same time could cause connection issues.

  • We are launching this first for Windows users, with additional platforms to come in future patches.
  • For users who prefer to use an external program or would like to disable Network Next, use /NETWORKNEXTDISABLE via the in-game chat.
  • Use /NETWORKNEXTENABLE via the in-game chat to use Network Next if you have previously manually disabled it.


User Experience
  • In-Match Performance Improvements

    • Improved our graphics precaching step to preload more assets, resulting in a smoother framerate during gameplay.
    • Updated tech-test and improved the -framefix command line argument. This should improve performance and reduce input latency on a graphics engine level.
    • -framefix and -framefixunbounded uses a new rendering mode to reduce latency.
  • Experimental Queue Rematch Feature

    • We’ve added the ability to rematch opponents in the Experimental queue.
    • Rematch opponents up to a best of three!
  • Improved performance related to Emojis by updating how memory is freed.


User Interface

  • Epic Skins and Crossovers now display their unique idle poses as well as their selected pose if they have one in the Image Render Tool.
  • Added an additional notification to let players know if they have cross-play disabled that it may result in longer queue times.

Animation

  • Adjusted Cassidy’s and Hattori's torsos in their character select animations.


User Experience

  • Fixed a bug where landing on-stage after experiencing a Wall Slip during the same frame a player gets hit would improperly reset that player’s jumps.

User Interface

  • Fixed a bug where leveling a Legend up to level 100 would result in the Legend XP screen on the Scoreboard to display "99" to "10". It will now correctly display "100" with a smaller font.
  • Fixed a bug with post-match Legend rank display.
  • Fixed a rare bug where the in-game rank region displays as “unknown.”
  • Fixed a visual bug with the Ranked textbox in the Character Selection screen.

Art & Animation

  • Fixed a layering issue with Nix's character select animation.
  • Fixed an animation issue in Onyx's character select where animated Cannons wouldn't loop correctly.
  • Fixed a bug where the Emoji menu would not properly dim during the short cooldown between sending Emojis.
