The Summoning Horn blares loudest at the top of every season. The Grand Tournament continues its eternal cycle with a renewal ritual. Elo has been reset, softly, rewards have been distributed, and the sky continues to be the limit. How far can your ambition take you in Season 38? Good luck, Brawlers 🏆

It’s an odd world we live in, and this week we’re playing one of Brawlhalla’s oddest gamemodes! Hop in the Oddbrawl 2v2 Queue now for endless Oddbrawl excitement! We’ve also got Bomb Mayhem in as the Brawl of the Week 💥 

We heard y’all like to party, so we’re bringing back the Party queue on Friday, September 26th! 🎉

Added in last week’s patch alongside Battle Pass Season 12: Ninjas Across Time, the brand new Map Jikoku, is now available in all queues and custom games 🏯

Reminder: as a result of last week’s Mission adjustments, for Missions previously completed, you’ll need to complete it one more time to earn the rewards.

Tune into our Dev Streams on Twitch or YouTube nearly every Tuesday and Friday, at 1pm ET, and follow us on Discord, Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook to keep up with all the latest news!

If you’re new to Seasons, here’s some information you should know. You’re going to have a soft Elo reset and will also receive “Glory”, a currency that can only be earned by playing Ranked games. You can use it in the Ranked section of Malhalla to get special items to show your dedication to your favorite Legend. We hope you enjoy your rewards and enjoy the New 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. Diamond level players will be reset to high gold or low platinum.

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.

Ranked Borders from Season 37

If you placed in Gold or better in your best rating, you are given a ranked border that people will see in the match preview screen. There are Ranked borders for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond tiers. 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 37

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 seasons.

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.

Exclusive Ranked Rewards – Skyforged & Goldforged!

Beyond glory there is immortality! Check out the Skyforged and Goldforged Colors for Ransom alongside the full gallery of purchasable rewards in Mallhalla under the “Ranked” tab.

Spend your hard-earned Glory on those or other Skyforged Colors, Weapons, Nameplates, and Emotes. Skyforged Colors are only usable on Legends that have reached level 5 or greater.

Players can also purchase the Goldforged Colors, Weapons, Nameplates, and Emotes with Glory. Goldforged requires the Skyforged version of that item to have already been purchased. Show your strength with these exclusive Ranked items! 

Placement Matches

Players beginning their Ranked climb 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.

Valhallan Rank

Valhallan Rank will open on October 8th at 5am ET/9am GMT.

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
• SA – Top 100
• SEA / US-W – Top 50
• AUS / JPN – Top 25
• SAF – Top 15
• ME – Top 25

These numbers are based on each region’s population and are 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 ET/2am PT).

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.

Form teams, protect your carrier, and play Team Oddbrawl! Hold the flaming skull to score points for your team in this 2v2 match up. Players can earn more points by landing attacks with the Oddball. The team to reach 100 points first wins!

Featuring a large single platform and elements across all eras of this Ninja Clan’s history throughout, this Map is available in all queues, custom lobbies, and will return in Jikoku Ghost Duel Next Week!

As a reminder, in patch 9.12 daily missions have been made easier to complete across the board.

Example adjustments:

• Sword or Axe KOS: 8 -> 5

• Friendly 2v2 matches: 5 -> 4

Additionally, 3 Daily missions have been replaced:

• Unarmed KOs (2) -> Light Attack damage (1000)
