Get your best team of three together for the debut of 3v3 Crew Battles in the Seasonal Ranked Queue. When you lose a stock, your next team member spawns in ready to fight. Be the last team standing to come out on top!

If you’re new to Seasons, check out everything you need to know, including the elo reset and tier rankings in our breakdown below.

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





If you’re new to Seasons, here’s some information you should know. At the beginning of every new season you have a soft Elo reset and receive Glory, the currency you earn by playing Ranked. You can use it in the Ranked section of Malhalla to get special Colors, Weapon Skins, Emotes, and Nameplates to show your dedication to your favorite Legend. We hope you enjoy your rewards and enjoy the New Season!



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. Diamond level players will be reset to high gold or low platinum.

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: https://www.brawlhalla.com/glory-calculator/

If you placed in Gold, Platinum, or Diamond in your best rating, you are given a ranked border that people will 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 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.
  
• 5th & 6th Tier Ranked Avatar Upgrade Information

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.



Beyond glory there is immortality! In Mallhalla, under the “Ranked” tab, players may spend their hard-earned Glory to purchase Skyforged Colors, Weapons, Nameplates, 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!



This season we’re featuring 3v3 Crew Battles in the Seasonal Ranked Queue!

Get ready for the ultimate Crew Battle game mode! Get the team together for an epic 3v3 match. When you lose a stock, the next team member in your crew spawns in, ready to fight. Be the last team standing and come out on top!

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.



High five your partner and get ready to compete Rayman style! In Kung Foot anything goes as you kick, bash, and slash the ball through the opposing team's goal in this 2v2 newcomer to the Brawlhalla sports scene. First team to score 5 goals wins!

We recently added two new test features to the experimental queue: Dodge Cooldown & Easy Gravity Cancel.

Dodge Cooldown:

• In Test Features, ground and aerial dodges now have an identical fixed cooldown.
  
• This duration is slightly shorter than the current maximum aerial dodge cooldown.
  
• This provides a more consistent window between dodges and allows for more reliable string routes when attacking an opponent after they dodge.
  
• The new cooldown duration also means that players will have access to the Gravity Cancel mechanic at a slightly faster rate.

Easy Gravity Cancel:

• The window for initiating a Gravity Cancel from a directional dodge has been decreased from 5 frames to 3 frames.
  
• We are testing this value in an effort to reduce unintended instances of Directional Gravity Cancels.
  
• Whether you are a player who often Gravity Cancels when you want a Recovery attack, or if you are a player that has a difficult time performing Gravity Cancels with this new value, give us your feedback!

We are testing some changes to the way dodges behave in Brawlhalla, beginning with a cleaner and easier to understand cooldown. Currently in Brawlhalla, dodges that begin on the ground have a significantly shorter cooldown than dodges performed from the air. That air dodge cooldown gets reduced when landing to be slightly longer than that of a ground dodge, often resulting in immediately ending the cooldown. Dodges used for Gravity Cancels ignore this cooldown reduction.

This test feature unifies all dodges to a single consistent cooldown. The new cooldown duration is shorter than the previous air dodge cooldown, but notably longer than the previous ground dodge cooldown. The expected gameplay results of this consistent cooldown include: more reliable attack routes when punishing an opponent’s dodge, less extended sequences of "dodge circles" where players alternate attacks and dodges with no winner, slightly shorter maximum dodge punish strings, and access to Gravity Cancel more often.

We are also testing a slightly shorter window for the Easy Gravity Cancel feature. This adjustment is aimed at reducing unintentional Gravity Cancels for players who attempt to dodge and perform a Recovery attack in close succession.

Dodge Cooldown:

• In Test Features, ground and aerial dodges now have an identical fixed cooldown.
  
• This duration is slightly shorter than the current maximum aerial dodge cooldown.
  
• This provides a more consistent window between dodges and allows for more reliable string routes when attacking an opponent after they dodge.
  
• The new cooldown duration also means that players will have access to the Gravity Cancel mechanic at a slightly faster rate.

Easy Gravity Cancel:

• The window for initiating a Gravity Cancel from a directional dodge has been decreased from 5 frames to 3 frames.
  
• We are testing this value in an effort to reduce unintended instances of Directional Gravity Cancels.
  
• Whether you are a player who often Gravity Cancels when you want a Recovery attack, or if you are a player that has a difficult time performing Gravity Cancels with this new value, give us your feedback!
