Patch 8.07 also brings a complete overhaul for custom and offline game settings, New Spear & Blasters Test Features, a new Map: Apocalyptic Chasm & Brawl of the Week: Apocalyptic Target, and expression controls in the Image Render tool. 🖼️

  • Vivi – “The Deadly Dancer”
  • Weapons: Blasters, Battle Boots
  • Stats: 6 Strength, 5 Dexterity, 4 Defense, 7 Speed
  • “In Valhalla, Vivi’s Capoeira has become very popular as a group activity. She loves to gather a crowd for a lively roda. It’s one of the few times Xull actually smiles, and not as a threat. Residents can also keep up with her cat blog, “Across the Unifurs.”

As a former freelance assassin, Vivi has been many different people throughout her life. She arrives in Brawlhalla with 3 new Skins representing different snapshots.

Covert Ops Vivi – “Taking out any target before they even notice she’s there.”

  • For the most top secret assignments, taking out high value targets like supermodel-villain, Da Mal or the villain-hand model, One Eye Da Mal.

Grau Mestra Batista – A master that learns, a student who teaches.

  • For Viviana Batista’s contributions as a mentor, she was bestowed the title of Grand Master by the Capoeira community. A commendation of the highest order. 

Streetwear Vivi – Que da hora!

  • As one of the most stylish residents of Valhalla, no activity is too mundane for Vivi to put together a great look!

When setting up Custom and Offline Games, players now have more customization options to choose from! ⚙️

In the “Settings” menu, we added a new tab: “Variation”, that let’s you select different configurations for nearly every mode in Brawlhalla. Try never-before-seen game configurations like Morph Kung Foot, Strikeout Bubble Tag, Switchcraft Temple Climb & many more!

We also separated the Weapons & Gadgets tabs, allowing players to control Gadget Spawn rates, as well as the existing gadget picker – which is now always visible on corresponding game modes. Want to play a game with no weapon spawns but countless spawns for the beloved Spike Ball? Now you can!

We also added a “Variation” tab to Training Mode that allows you to select a new “Morph”  option. Now you can enter Training mode and cycle through 3 selected Legends and/or Crossovers by pressing the Weapon Throw Button!  ⚔️

The possibilities are practically endless! 🎮

In Test Features, we’re introducing new versions of the Blasters and Spear Down Air Light Attacks when they’re performed close to the ground. Now they visibly collide with the ground and the hitboxes have been adjusted to allow for new kinds of hits. This makes Blasters and Spear more consistent with the rest of the Weapons. 

Please make sure to continue giving us your feedback on this and other Test Features on Discord, Twitter, Reddit, or any of our other official social channels!
