Bats, vampires, wolves… It’s definitely the spookiest season of the year! We’re also celebrating Brawlhalloween starting today by opening up the crypt underneath Mallhalla. There you’ll find 16 seasonal Skins, including new ones for Ulgrim and Onyx, a brand new Emote, Ofrenda 2022 Podium, Avatars, Colors, and more! Just follow the trail of candy corn and you won’t lose your way.

See the list below for all the exclusive treats:

Skins:

Mad Doctor Ulgrim

“His last patient was Petra and look at her now!”

  • With an Extra Large Scalpel and Skull Saw, Ulgrim finds unconventional uses for his (now revoked) M.D.

Termin-gator Onyx

“Croc cyborgs don’t feel pain.” 

  • Alligator? Crocodile? Either way, Ulgrim’s latest medical experiment is on the loose. Armed with Judgment Claws and Swamp Serum… She’ll be back.

Ray of the Dead

“RIP: Rayman is Phantasmic.”

  • Of course they celebrate Halloween in the Glade of Dreams! No one is more excited than Rayman with his sugar skull inspired face paint, Calaveraxe, and Saints & Souls Gauntlets.

Demon Rider Artemis

“Anybody can ride a Rocket Lance. The trouble begins when you try to land with it.”

  • Witness Artemis and her unmatched command of stunts and the badlands. She’s ready for any terrain with her Dirt Road Drill Rocket Lance and Adrenaline Rush Scythe.

Corpse Bride Mirage

“Here comes the bride, all dressed to fight!”

  • Not even death will part Mirage from her true love. She re-enters the Great Halls from beyond the grave armed with her Scythe and Spear: In Sickness and In Health.

Werewolf Thatch

“It’s high moon.”

  • Things are looking pretty hairy for this ‘ol pirate. Be sure to beware of the full moon, or you might fall prey to his Haunted Incisor Sword or Wolf’s Howl Blasters.

Dusk Till Dawn

“He vants to take your Elo!”

  • This elven king becomes a different kind of nobleman for the Brawlhalloween season. Just don’t let him get too close, his teeth and Immortal Pike are as pointy as his ears. The Blood Keepsake Orb can’t be good either.

Petra Reanimated

“Consult your doctor.”

  • SHE LIVES! Avoid the grasp of Petra’s Gauntlets – Horror & Fright, and the cruel sting of Von Evilstein’s Heart.

Skel-asuri

“She’s got a bone to pick!”

  • Cat got your… flesh? The fiery spirit that possesses Asuri’s skeleton is just as fierce. Beware, her Bone Claw Katars are as sharp as her Sword, Joint Pain.

Werebat Ragnir

“Like a bat out of Helheim.”

  • This bat is right-side-up and ready to brawl! He uses his finely attuned senses to best his opponents with his Sonar Slicer Katars and The Monster Slash Axe.

Immortal Caspian

“When you’re a vampire thief, the stakes are always high.”

  • Caspian’s blue blood seems to be in short supply these days, so your own blood will have to suffice. Look out for the attack of his Vampiric Embrace Gauntlets and his Bloodletting Katars.

The Monster Gnash

“Graveyard smaaaash!”

  • Everyone’s favorite monster is getting ready to MASH his opponents with his Headache Hammer and Hand-Saw Spear.

Punkin Spice Yumiko

“In every town, village, and city. There is no escape. Ever.”

  • It’s Punkin Spice season, and Yumiko isn’t taking prisoners with her ded Bow and LOL RIP Hammer.

Demonkin Diana

“Be careful what you ask for”

  • This half-blood is all-in on taking you down. Her Wicked Wings Bow and Brimstone Blasters will send you to the not-so-pearly gates below.

Horseman Lucien

“They say his spirit haunts the roadways to this very day.”

  • This pompous undead Count thinks himself a gourd. Even in his current state he threatens dissidents with his Haunting Blade Katars and his trusty Blasters, Ghost and Goblin.

Bewitching Scarlet

“Nice night for a hex.”

  • She’ll put a spell on you with her Dark Cauldron Hammer and Witching Broom.
  • Bonus: Angry Magic Hat poses with Scarlet’s actions!

Emote

Skeleton Dance – “Doot doot.”

  • New Brawlhalloween seasonal Emote!
  • Have a fun spooky time with a skeleton friend while dancing to some unique tunes.

Ofrenda 2022 – “An offering for our KO’d Brawlers.”

  • Featuring unique sound and visual FX!

KO Effect

Jac-KO-Lantern – “Smashing pumpkins into tiny pieces of debris!”

Dracula invites you into a world of optical illusion in this 1v1 Switchcraft Mode. Pick 3 Legends and watch their Weapons and sigs get jumbled up. Battle an equally scrambled opponent and try to knock out all 3 of their Stocks first to win!

  • 1v1 Switchcraft
  • 3 Stocks
  • Last player standing wins!
  • Battle in the new Dracula’s Castle Maps!

Introducing two new server regions: Middle East and Southern Africa! The communities in these regions have grown significantly and now have their own dedicated servers. This should mean faster and more reliable matches for players in those regions.

  • New Server Regions: Middle East and Southern Africa
  • Change your preferred server in the Options menu in the top right, then select Change Region.
  • We look forward to seeing what competition comes out of these two new server regions!

Players now have the ability to change Legends when rematching!

  • After agreeing to a rematch, players will be taken to the Legend Select Screen to choose their loadout for the rematch.
  • Players are then given 30 seconds to choose their Legend.
  • Once Legends have been selected, the banner will display “Ready for Rematch.” Players will stay at the Legend select screen until all players are locked in. A countdown will start once everyone has confirmed, and the rematch will begin.
  • Any players that fail to lock in by the end of the allotted time will be assigned whichever loadout they last chose.

Additionally, players in Friendly 2v2 can now rematch in Patch 7.00. Matchmaking queues with rematch enabled now include Ranked 1v1, Ranked 2v2, Experimental, and Friendly 2v2. Rematches are still a best of three. Happy brawling!

Beyond glory there is immortality! As you battle to become a Valhallan in Ranked Season 26, enjoy the spoils of war from last season with new Skyforged & Goldforged Emojis. Show your joy, confusion, frustration, or anger with these exclusive items only available to purchase with Glory. 

Find Ranked Emojis under the “Ranked” tab in Mallhalla. You can also spend your hard-earned Glory to purchase Skyforged Colors, Weapons, UI Themes, Emotes, and Sidekicks. Skyforged Colors are only usable on Legends that have reached level 5 or greater. Goldforged items require the purchase of the Skyforged version of the same item first. 

Show your strength with these exclusive Ranked items!
