Jul 11, 2019

The Future of Battlerite:
We’ve made an announcement on future development for Battlerite and Battlerite Royale, with Battle Season 3 being having our final Battle Pass for the foreseeable future.
You can read the full announcement here.
General Updates:
Battle Season 3 features an extended Battle Pass, with twice as many populated tiers in the Free Pass as previous seasons (up to Tier 59) and 75 tiers of content in the Premium Pass. We’ve extended the season to 15 weeks, and the preliminary end of Season date is Wednesday, October 23rd. This Season players will only be able to upgrade to the Premium Pass by purchasing it in game for 950 Gems. Players can also purchase the Premium Pass and 15 Tiers for 2,500 Gems.
Along with the new Pass, the five sponsors from last season return. The Stewards of the Arena are again available for all players to progress and will reward a unique Jade pose, outfit, and weapon. The Halls of Triumph sponsor is only available to purchasers of the Premium Pass and rewards a unique Legendary Jamila Outfit and Weapon.
For this season’s there’s only one season quest per week, each giving out 16 Battle Pass “Stars” – the same amount of as the two weekly season quests used to give out in previous Battle Passes. There’s one quest for all of the 15 weeks that Battle Season 3 lasts for.
You can view items available in the Battle Pass over at the Battle Pass Website.
End of Battle Season 2:
Battle Season 2 concludes on July 10th. After this point rewards in the Season 2 Battle Pass will no longer be available to earn. If you are still signed with a sponsor from Battle Season 2 you will still be able to complete it. All sponsors from previous seasons will be marked with a star.

New Feature – Public Custom Lobby List:
We’ve made some changes to private games, and now players will be able to find and create Public Custom Lobbies. When players create a public custom lobby, their lobby will be displayed in the public lobby list in the “Custom” option in the play menu. Other players will be able to join matches by browsing this list.
When browsing the Custom Lobby list, you will be able to view:
Players
Settings
Maps
Regions
Latency to lobby
Players will also be able to view Custom Lobbies currently in a match, though will not be able to join them. The creator of the lobby is the host as well, and when they leave a new host will be assigned according to join order.
Players will still be able to create private lobbies by checking the appropriate setting when creating a lobby.
New Community Outfit – Corrupted Treant Ruh Kaan:
The outfit for our second Battlerite Community Concept Art Contest has been completed! Players will now be able to claim Corrupted Treat Ruh Kaan, who’s placed in Tier 5 of the Free Battle Pass.

Matchmaking:
Over the course of the past few weeks, we've rolled out various small updates to matchmaking. Now that we've had time to assess their effects on matchmaking data, we've found the following results:
Average time to find a match has been improved in most regions by about ~15 seconds
Matchmaking times have been slightly crunched, so super long and super short queue times occur less frequently
Average match quality has been slightly improved, as the player pool has been expanded due to algorithm changes
However, players may still get longer queue times than we'd like due to these changes being counteracted by the decreasing player population. We'll continue to work on improving matchmaking as much as possible, but our upper cap is currently limited by concurrent users.

Explosive Barrels removed from Blackstone Arena (Day & Night) and Meriko Summit (Day & Night).
Armory:
We've continued to refine the Armory and shape it in the direction that fits Arena best. Elements that contributed to a chaotic feel have been removed, and many items have been changed. Explosive Barrels have run out for Armory as well.
Equipment:
Timestone Pendant removed from Armory
Champion's Blade removed from Armory

Chronometer:
Haste increased from 40% to 60%

Overload:
Overload was released in a big, splashy experimental state to ensure that it made an impact on Arena rounds. Overload was designed to increase skillful play on both sides in situations where one team is down a player, rather than allowing the game to get into a stale state. In certain situations, Overload is perfect for remedying this problem. In other situations, Overload is overly effective and puts too much emphasis on the game state after a player has died. We want to scale this back to make sure that the portion of the game before a player dies is always vital in all matches.
While we're adjusting Overload now, we're simultaneously looking into other combinations of methods to address those stale game situations. If Overload can't be adjusted to a less polarizing state, then it's on the table to disable Overload in Arena until we can re-evaluate this kind of mechanic. We'll also be adding the option to toggle Overload in Private Lobbies in the near future.
Can now be cast without dismounting.

New in Battlerite Arena 2.0 (Feb 17, 2019)

Battle Season 1:
Unlock unique rewards every Battle Season with the new Battle Pass feature! Battle Pass progress is shared between Battlerite and Battlerite Royale, giving players the freedom to progress their Pass however they choose.
With the introduction of the Battle Pass come the Battle Seasons, starting with Battle Season 1. We’re restarting the season counter to make it clear when the Battle Pass and its related changes were introduced and that the Season is shared between both games.
The Battle Pass:
Progress your Battle Pass by leveling your Tier level, with each Tier level having new rewards to potentially unlock. Advancing to the next Tier level requires 10 Battle Stars, which can be earned by leveling up your Season Level, completing Daily Quests, or completing Season Quests.
The Free Pass:
Everyone has access to the Free Battle Pass, which gives rewards at Tier levels 2, 5, 7, 11, 13, 16, 19, 23, 27, 31, and 36. These rewards include:
6x Silver Chests
2x Avatars
2x Rare Weapons
1x Rare Pose
The Premium Pass:
Upgrade your Battle Pass to the Premium Pass to unlock rewards at every Tier level. Pre-purchase the Premium Pass here or purchase it in-game for 950 Gems.
Players also have the option to upgrade to the Premium Pass and purchase an additional 15 Tiers for 2500 Gems in game (unless already pre-purchased).
Premium Pass owners can unlock all the Free Pass rewards, as well as potentially:
1x Legendary Mount
2x Legendary Outfits
2x Legendary Weapons
1x Epic Mount
9x Epic Pets, including variations (27 total)
2x Epic Poses
2x Epic Emotes, including variations (4 total)
3x Epic Weapons
1x Rare Mount
6x 100 Gems or Diamonds (players can choose which currency)
5x 10% Season XP Boosts (Season XP Boosts stack additively)
8x Avatars
1x Legendary Chest
2x Dragon Chests
1x Arctic Chests
1x Creepy Chest
1x Ancient Chest
1x Gold Chest
Purchasing Tiers
Players who upgrade to the Premium Pass can purchase Tiers directly for:
1 Tier for 150 Gems
5 Tiers + 1 Extra for 750 Gems
10 Tiers + 4 Extra for 1,500 Gems
Tiers purchased after the max Tier of 50 will be converted into Season XP. All Battle Star progress is kept and applied to your new Tier level.
Season Level:
The Season Level is a new type of Account Level that resets every Season. Gain 2 Battle Stars every time you level up, and 5 Battle Stars every 5th level. Once a player has reached a max Tier level of 50, any Battle Stars earned will be converted into Season XP, which increases a player’s Season Level. Season Level history will be shown in the profile from Battle Season 2 onward.
Account Level:
Account Levels are still around! Account Levels now represent your total accumulated level from previous and current Seasons in both Battlerite and Battlerite Royale. No legacy Account Levels have been lost. Account Level is displayed in the profile, above your current Season Level, and in the Friends List.
New Season Quests:
Every Battle Season now brings new quests that unlock each week for ten weeks! Season Quests are not shared between Battlerite and Battlerite Royale and can only be progressed in their respective game client. However, both will contribute to the same Battle Pass progress. Season quests can only be progressed in Casual and League. There are Free and Premium Quests – Free Quests can be progressed by all players, but Premium Quests require upgrading the Battle Pass to progress. In Battlerite there are:
1 Free Quest per week
1 Premium Quest per week
Total of 20 Quests per Season
8 Battle Stars rewarded per completed Quest (Free and Premium)
Daily Quests
Daily Quests have been reworked and are now shared between Battlerite and Battlerite Royale. Each completed Daily Quest rewards 150 Battle Coins and 3 Battle Stars. Daily Quests can be progressed in Vs AI, Casual, and League. Don’t forget that Daily Quests still progress signed Sponsors!
Additionally, some old Daily Quests have been removed and new ones added. The new Daily Quest pool consists of the following quests:
Play 6 Matches
Play 4 Matches as a Ranged Champion
Play 4 Matches as a Melee Champion
Strike a Killing Blow in 2 different matches
Deal 5000 Damage
Heal or Absorb 2000 Damage
Deal 300 Damage with Ultimate Abilities
Play a match in a Party
Collect 1000 Season XP
Gather 2000 Energy
Hit 5 projectiles in a row in 4 matches
Hit 5 melee attacks in a row in 4 matches
Sponsors:
Sponsors are still around with the introduction of the Battle Pass, and can still be progressed by completing Daily Quests. They are now shared between Battlerite and Battlerite Royale.
Champions that are rewarded through sponsors are now unlocked in both Battlerite and Battlerite Royale, though Champions no longer provide token compensation when the Champion is already owned.
There are five sponsors for Battle Season 1. Three Sponsors return from previous seasons and two new Sponsors join them. The Stewards of the Arena are available for all players to progress and will unlock Raigon and a unique Raigon weapon and outfit. The Halls of Triumph sponsor is only available for players who have upgraded to the Premium Battle Pass and contains a unique pose, outfit, and weapon for Jumong.
If you are still signed with a sponsor from Season 5 you will still be able to complete it. All sponsors from previous seasons will be marked with a star.
Boosts:
Due to the change to Season Levels and introduction of the Battle Pass, Boosts have much more value than previously. For this reason, Boosts now grant a 50% Season XP bonus instead of 100% Account Level XP bonus. Boosts will still grant 100% Champion XP and double the Battle Coins earned from matches as previously. You can purchase XP Boosts in your profile.
10% Season XP Boosts can be earned by progressing through the Premium Battle Pass and stack additively.

To be considered for leaderboard placement, you or your team must have at least 20 games played.

The Armory
As we addressed in a previous Dev Update on the Big Patch™, we’ve been looking at ways to diversify player choices and repetitive nature of rounds. We’ve decided to add in a new system that will allow players to personalize and customize each and every round to their liking with the Armory.
Available before each new round, players can now pick a set of items (Equipment and Consumables) to bring with them into battle. These items are not persistent between rounds and the number of items you can choose to take into the fight increases by one each round, up to maximum of three.
Equipment:
Teldo’s Quickblade:
Every 15s, your primary ability deals 8 bonus damage and inflicts Fading Snare for 1s.
Heart of Boulder Pass:
When you fall below 50% health, you become invulnerable for 3s. Only triggers once per round.
Bonus – Max Health: +20
Wind Walkers:
When your Ultimate is ready, your movement speed is increased by 10%.
Bonus – Movement Speed +7%
Ahmrilas Ward:
You receive +50% healing from Health Shards and +50% energy from Energy Shards.
Bonus – Healing Received: +12%
Champion’s Blade:
Every 15s, your primary ability heals you for 14 health. Excess healing is converted into a shield that lasts for up to 6s.
Crown of Power:
Begin the round with a shield that absorbs up to 25 damage. You gain +15 % damage and healing output while the shield last.
Bonus – Damage and Healing Output: +5 %
Jolting Amulet:
After using your Ultimate, regain 25% energy.
Bonus – Energy Gain from Abilities: +10%
Void Reaper:
Whenever another player dies, you gain +20% damage output for 8s.
Bonus – Dealing damage to an enemy reduces their healing received by 15% for 2s.
Timestone Pendant:
Every 15s, your current cooldowns are reduced by 1s each.
Bonus – Cooldown Reduction: +5%
Consumables
Healing Salve:
Apply a salve that heals you for 36 health over 6s. Taking any damage breaks the effect.
Stacks: 3
Cast time: 0.1s
Cooldown: 6s
Rock:
Throw a rock. Hitting an enemy deals 5 damage, inflicts Fading Snare for 0.5s and knocks them back.
Stacks: 3
Cast time: 0.5s
Cooldown: 8s
Grappling Hook:
Throw a grappling hook. Hitting a wall pulls you to that wall.
Stacks: 3
Cast time: 0.25s
Cooldown: 0.5s
Meteor:
Call down a meteor with 100 health at target location that knocks enemies back and blocks the path for 8s
Stacks: 2
Cast time: 0.4s
Cooldown: 15s
Chronometer:
Activate to grant you nearby allies 75% Fading Haste for 3s
Stacks: 2
Cast time: 0.1s
Cooldown: 15s
Explosive Barrel:
Roll a barrel that explodes on impact, dealing 24 damage to nearby enemies and igniting the area to deal an additional 30 damage over 4s

Stacks: 1
Cast time: 0.1s
Rocket Booster:
Dash forward and grab the first enemy hit, dealing 6 damage. Upon hitting a wall with a grabbed enemy, inflict Stun for 1.2s to that enemy.
Stacks: 1
Cast time: 1.2s
Overload
Overload was designed specifically to deal with boring endgame scenarios. On the winning side, having an additional player means you have time on your side and incentivizes you to play in a safe and drawn out way. The losing side can’t win the long game against a team with reliable value like healing and more available abilities, so they have to take a risk to make a comeback happen. However, many players won’t take the risk even if it’s their only chance to win the round. Instead, they will run away hoping for their enemies to make a big mistake. It’s not a fun or particularly skillful way to play the game for either side and the predictable way these scenarios play out makes it even less fun. This wait is doubly painful if you are dead and want the round to end.
Overload is meant to end rounds in way that is quick, fun, and fair. The damage amplification in both directions rewards aggressive play from both sides. The movement speed reduces cooldown reliance and allows the user to set the pace while the time limit forces them to take the initiative. We are increasing the comeback chances by making the game more volatile rather than giving the losing team an advantage. The winning team may need to play better to close out a round but they still have the advantage. Even if a user equalizes the game state through a kill, the remaining enemies have the option to overload if they too want to gamble on their skill.
For additional reading material on Overload, check out your latest Dev Update at the local blog.
The ability works as follows:
Default Keybind: T
You gain 1 Overload charge each time an ally dies
Heals self for 20% of your missing health and boosts damage and healing output, movement speed, and ability cooldown rate. You take 40% increased damage during the effect.
Damage Output increased by 40%
Healing Output increased by 40%
Movement Speed increased by 40%
Ability Cooldown Rate increased by 40%
Duration: 8s
Cast time: 0.1s
Cooldown: 8s
Default Keybind: T
Arena Updates
As we mentioned in the Dev Update, we’re adding some variety to our Arenas and adding some experimental new map objects. The follow maps have received updates:
Meriko Summit (Day and Night) now has Explosive Barrels
Blackstone Arena (Day and Night) now has Explosive Barrels
Daharin Battlegrounds (Day and Night) now has Jump Pads
Skyring (Day and Night) now has Jump Pads
Explosive Barrels
When damaged, the Explosive Barrel explodes after a 1.2 second delay. It deals 20 damage, and leaves a damaging fire area that deals 30 damage over 4 seconds.
Jump Pads
By stepping into the jump pad circle, you are blasted high into the air where you are unhittable. You rise and fall over a total of 4 seconds. After landing, you are stuck in a recovery animation for 1s and you inflict Incapacitate for 1.5s on nearby enemies.
Jump Pads have a cooldown period of 40 seconds and begin each round on cooldown.
Movement Speed Increases
As mentioned in the aforementioned Big Patch™ Dev Update, movement speed will be increasing across the board in this patch while Champion’s health is also being lowered. The following changes to health and Champion movement speed will be implemented:

Champion Updates:
With the addition of Armory, the era of the last generic rites has concluded. Jolting Amulet and Wind Walkers serve the role of Inspiration and Agility respectively and remove the need for these rites to exist. Armory will serve as the stronghold for generic effects usable by all champions, whereas Rites will firmly be the bastion of champion-specific augmentations.
Inspiration and Agility rites have been removed from all applicable Champions.

Croak has always utilized the same reloading ammo system that Iva, Ezmo, and Jade use. However, it works quite differently as Croak can still attack without ammo, just at a much slower pace. Changing his weapon system to use the charged weapon system in Royale really illustrated that it was a lot more consistent and intuitive this way. We’ve decided to bring that over to Arena. It stresses the importance of hitting the opening attack, is visually more obvious, and is more straightforward.

New in Battlerite Arena 1.11.0 (Feb 2, 2019)

Battlerite Arena Patch 1.11 brings Legends of Quna to Talon Island. As stated in our earlier Dev Update, this is a smaller event as we prepare for the coming Big Patch™.
Lunar New Year:
Lunar New Year has begun! It's time to celebrate the changing of the moons and this year's zodiac animal - the Pig!
Lunar Cosmetics are once again displayed in game and available for direct purchase with either Tokens or Gems. During this event Silver Chests can no longer be purchased with Battlerite Coins and have been replaced with Lunar Chests. Likewise, leveling up your Account Level will reward a Lunar Chest instead of a Silver Chest during this event. Lunar Chests contain three random drops and guarantee at least one rare drop and one random Lunar Item.
Dragon Chests are also available for purchase with Gems. These contain three drops and guarantee a non-duplicate Epic or Legendary Lunar cosmetic.
Lunar Cosmetics:
One new Legendary Outfit has been added to the game, along with a brand-new Legendary Mount. These are obtainable either through direct purchase or through event chests. Champions that previously did not have a Lunar Weapon or Pose have now received one as well.
Quests:
Win 15 Casual or League Rounds as a Melee Champion
Available between January 30 at 8:00 AM UTC to February 6 at 8:00 AM UTC

General Updates:
Audio:
Voiceover balance has been adjusted for Poloma, Croak, Freya, Jumong, Shifu, Jamila, Ezmo, Raigon, Thorn, and Bakko.
Gameplay Updates:
Reflected piercing projectiles can now hit targets they have previously hit. Generally this affects orbs caught between a piercing projectile and a reflect ability.
Champion Updates:
Our midrange Champions have a long-standing issue for dipping in and out of combat. Against ranged Champions, moving closer to the enemy makes it easier to be hit before the midrange champion can even start attacking. Against melee Champions, closing the distance is extremely dangerous. Ezmo, Jade, and Taya gain a slight amount of movement speed in this patch and we are considering further adjustment in the future.
Ezmo:
Movement speed increased from 3.4 to 3.5
Jade:
Movement speed increased from 3.4 to 3.5
Pearl:
Dive (Space)
Range increased from 6 to 7
Ruh Kaan:
By taking Demonic Hunt, Ruh Kaan has a whopping three (!) instant escapes between his Sinister Strikes and Nether Void. Once you add in Consume, especially when backed up by his Gorge rite, Ruh Kaan barely has a vulnerable window in common situations. While he has always had a weakness of finishing his victims slowly, Ruh Kaan should not be able to achieve this level of safeness by only investing two rites. To further amplify his drawback, damage has been moved from Sinister Strike to Nether Chains to incentivize taking more offensive rites for players seeking to apply pressure.
Sinister Strike (Space)
Damage reduced from 16 to 12
Battlerites:
Nether Chains (Space)
Now grants 6 bonus damage in addition to inflicting Curse
Demonic Hunt (Space)
Cooldown penalty increased from 2s to 4s
Gorge (Q)
Cooldown reduction per negated attack reduced from 1.5/1.0/0.5s to 1/0.6/0.4s
Shen Rao
Shen Rao’s most commonly taken rites and most complained about rites are those that give him empowered Shock Blasts. The intention for Shen Rao's empowered Shock Blast area is to make an ability that rewards you for being at a very specific range, similar to Croak’s Frog Leap. While that range is currently too large, his ability to siege from afar and force his targets to approach is a defining feature and we do not want to remove this entirely. Shock Blasts now have reduced area and detonate further away, offering greater counterplay.
As Ascension is Shen Rao’s only dodge ability, we hesitate to nerf Ascension too much. A reduction in max range for both the initial cast and the recast for those who take the rite reduce the speed at which Shen Rao can close the gap or escape any given situation.
As we often do for new champions, we will be buffing some of his less popular rites (Roar of the Heavens, Entertainment & Effortless Defense) to increase flexibility. It's not meant to make him stronger overall but to open up more options. We’re keeping an eye out for his Storm Bolt rites Eyewall & Puppeteer as both rites taken together form a strong combo that zones out an entire enemy team with every Storm Bolt hit.
Ascension (Space)
Max range reduced from 5 to 4.5
Dragon Storm (F)
Snare factor reduced from 35% to 15%
Battlerites:
Empowered Shock Blast (Dragon Force, Storm Drain, and Sphere of Influence Rites)

Events for kills and deaths are now shown on the replay editor playback bar
The replay settings window has received a visual update to better represent how the settings interact
Increased the hit boxes of various parts of the replay editor playback bar to make them easier to click and grab
Players now automatically follow their friends in the replay system again
The replay editor playback bar no longer displays a disabled portion of timeline at the start of the replay
The "Copy Profile Link" button now works as intended
Fixed an issue where aim previews would still be rendered despite having disabled HUD
Fixed an issue where champions would lag a lot in replays recorded with a low frame rate
Fixed an issue where the embedded replay viewer would render replays in a lower quality in it's minimized mode
New Replay Feature - Export Replays Beta
Players can now opt in to use the new export replay feature under Options / Misc. This feature allows players to export their replay clips in video format to their hard drive and/or upload directly to YouTube. There may be bugs with this feature and it may not work correctly for everyone, please report bugs on the support website.
Champion Updates:
In this patch, we revisit some champions that have not seen any changes for a while and strengthen a few rites with low to middling pick rates in order to offer additional viable choices for their loadouts. Beyond that some of the remaining outliers see further adjustment.
Ashka:
Battlerites:
Combustion (M2):
Bonus area damage increased from 8 to 9
Wildfire (M2):
No longer increases cooldown of Fire Storm
Ember Fire (Q):

Added to Basic Loadout
Ezmo:
Chaos Grip (M2):
Max damage increased from 20 to 22
Jumong:
We continue our act of fine-tuning Jumong's capabilities by reducing Rain of Arrow's overall DPS and EPS while shifting some of that power onto the ability's zoning capabilities. Conversely, we are trying to keep Jumong's overall zoning payoff similar by lowering the reward of Bear Trap.
Rain of Arrows (Q):
Duration increased from 1.5s to 1.8s
Bear Trap (E):
Root duration reduce from 2s to 1.8s
Oldur:
Oldur sees his playstyle switch slightly more as he gets an additional way to consume Time Bomb, but loses the standard damage output on Shifting Sands to further solidify his identity as more of a backloaded damage-dealing support.
Shifting Sands (Space)
No longer deals damage when passing through enemies
Now consumes Time Bomb when passing through enemies to instantly trigger its effect (like it consumes Rejuvenate on allies)
Pearl
Battlerites:
Riptide (Space):
Root duration increased from 1s to 1.2s

Moonstone (E):

Varesh
Devastation allows Varesh to exert a palpable amount of pressure. This change tempers it but still allows for fairly high-speed Hand of Judgement usage. Unlimited Power, renamed Perpetuity to reduce confusion with the Absolute Power rite, now also triggers when Wuju consumes Corruption. To balance out this new compatibility it sees a reduction to its bonus effect.
Battlerites:
Unlimited Power (M1):
Renamed to Perpetuity
Now also triggers when Corruption is consumed through Wuju
Bonus snare duration reduced from 0.5s to 0.25s

Curse of the Night – Halloween Event:
Creepy items are back in the world of Battlerite, along with the dark and dangerous things in the world. 3 new Creepy Outfits and several new Creepy Weapons are now in game, and all past Creepy Outfits, Weapons, Mounts, and Poses return to take part in the devious delights. This time around you can purchase these ghoulish items directly with Gems or Tokens besides finding them exclusively in Creepy Chests or Spooky Chests.
Spooky Chests can be earned by leveling up your Account Level, where they have temporarily replaced Silver Chests. These chests contain 3 random drops and guarantees at least 1 Rare item and 1 random Creepy item. They can also be purchased at 400 Battle Coins each.
Creepy Chests can only be obtained by completing limited-time Event Quests and unlike previous events will not be directly purchasable with Gems. These chests contain 3 random drops and guarantees 1 non-duplicate Epic or Legendary Creepy item. Owning all items results in duplicate items.

Season 3 Avatars will be rewarded depending on your placement for Season 3. The Top 5 in each region on the Leaderboards will receive a title for their placement.
Season 4:
Season 4 starts on October 17th, and includes two new sponsors, Clan Rook and The Drowned Spire. Four of the previous sponsors return, most of them brandishing new rewards. If you are still signed with a sponsor from Season 3 you will still be able to complete them. All sponsors from Season 3 will be marked with a star. Season 4 has a preliminary end date of December 12th, making it a shorter season. As such the amount of rewards available from the recurring sponsors have been adjusted to fit the shorter schedule.
UI:
Leaderboards now correctly show Champion composition percentages
Added a scrollbar to General Options
Fixed an issue where the chat would be filled with log in-log out notifications when briefly losing connection to chat

Token drops in chests will now show the correct rarity color when hovered
Art:
Updated Ruh Kaan M1 and Space with new VFX and animations
Champion Updates
This patch sees an across the board reduction for most Crowd Control abilities with a duration of 2.5s or above. The purpose is to allow more overall active gameplay, reduce some of the frustration involved in being Crowd Controlled and noticeably reduce the duration of chained Crowd Controls. These abilities are still meant to be viable as disengages, but the changes will allow for more active gameplay versus champions with powerful Crowd Control. Beyond that, the state of balance in Battlerite has been stable during the last patch, which is something we want to preserve as we move forward. As such we’re using somewhat of a lighter touch than usual when addressing outlying champions.
Alysia:
Alysia sees some of the power in her Glacial Prism rites shifted around, with her overall defensive power strengthened.
Freeze (Debuff)
Duration reduced from 3.3s to 3s
Battlerites:
Crystalline Lattice (Q)
Bonus shield value increased from 12 to 14
Bonus radius moved to Wintry Blast
Wintry Blast (Q)
Now also increases radius of explosion by 20% (from 2.5 to 3)
Chill bonus duration removed

Shield value increased from 12 to 16
Vandalism (R)
Now also reduces cooldown of Ice Crown by 2s
Ashka:
Molten Chains (EX Q)
Petrify duration reduced from 3s to 2.7s
Bakko:
War Stomp (EX Space)
Incapacitate duration reduced from 2.5s to 2.2s
Croak:
Cut to the Chase was a rite intended to enhance a playstyle where you’re able to carefully pick your opportunity to engage. However, in most situations, it led to frustration for opponents as it gave Croak the ability to simply wait out most defensive moves and still engage afterward. In the future, we’ll look into other rites for Croak’s rite tree that could add additional interesting choices, but for now Cut to the Chase has been removed.
Deceit (EX Q)
Incapacitate duration reduced from 3s to 2.7s
Battlerites:
Cut to the Chase (Q)
Removed
Ezmo:
Ezmo receives some additional power to two of his middling rite choices.
Battlerites:
Exhaust (M1)
Fading Snare duration increased from 0.4s to 0.5s
Bolted (E)
Category changed from Offense to Utility
Face Melt (E)
Chaos Grip (M2) now also deals 2 bonus damage to enemies rooted by Shackle
Iva:
Iva’s versatility makes her a useful pick in many compositions. The utility she offers is something we want to retain, but the old lady continued to be a bit too slippery for the utility she provided. As such that slipperiness sees some adjustment. Conductor should now surprise players less.
Concussive Shot (EX E)
Incapacitate duration reduced from 3s to 2.7s
Battlerites:
U-Turn (Space)
Recast duration reduced from 2s to 1.8s
Rocket Booster (Space)
Haste factor reduced from 35% to 30%
Conductor (E)
Time before the second projectile fires increased from 0.3s to 0.4s
Jamila:
After she briefly rose to prominence, some of the latest changes ended up tuning down Jamila a bit too much. As such, we’re returning some of her previous damage output while also returning some utility to Quick Strike.
Elusive Strike (Space)
Minimum damage increased from 8 to 10
Shadow Dance (Q)
Shadow Slice (M1 when Shadow Dance has negated an attack) damage increased from 12 to 14
Hook Shot (E)
Initial damage increased from 6 to 8
Battlerites:
Quick Strike (Space)
Range increased from 3 to 3.2
Tooltip updated to clarify functionality
Jumong:
The Beast Hunter remains in a precarious situation in which he can be devastating in coordinated play but struggles in general matchmaking, which is a bit tricky to approach. These changes are a first step at trying to reduce his capabilities in the right hands while not hitting his overall performance too harshly.
Rain of Arrows (Q)
Initial energy gain reduced from 4% to 3% (total energy gain reduced from 7% to 6%)
Battlerites:
Trapper (E)
Distance between traps reduced from 2.5 to 1.85
Death Mark (Perk)
Bonus damage reduced from 4 to 3
Lucie:
Petrify Dart (EX E)
Petrify duration reduced from 3s to 2.7s
Oldur:
Oldur has a very strong identity as the ranged offensive support which is something we don’t want to stray too far from. With these changes, we shift some of his offensive output from upfront to backloaded, while reinforcing his role as a support by also giving him an option for burst healing.
Sands of Time (M1)
Damage reduced from 12 to 10
Time Bomb damaged increased from 8 to 10
Shifting Sands (Space)
Traveling through an ally with Rejuvenate will now consume it to instantly trigger its effect
Stone Glass (R)
Petrify duration reduced from 3s to 2.7s
Pearl:
Jaws (F)
Duration reduced from 3.4s to 3s
Raigon:
Raigon has remained in a strong position both in lower and higher levels of play. These changes should temper him a bit in both aspects.
Tectonic Shock (EX E)
Incapacitate duration reduced from 2s to 1.7s (including air time, total duration reduced from 3s to 2.7s)
Dragon Palm (R)
Damage from knocking an enemy into a wall decreased from 12 to 10
Battlerites:
Riposte (Q)
Recast is now only granted if Parry negates an attack
Rook:
Smack (R)
Incapacitate duration reduced from 2.5s to 2.2s
Shifu:
Tendon Swing (R)
Incapacitate duration reduced from 2.6s to 2.3s
Sirius:
Lunar Strike (E)
Petrify duration reduced from 3.4s to 3s

Incapacitate duration reduced from 2.5s to 2.2s
Varesh
With Inspiration, Varesh was able to stock up on energy quickly and was often able to utilize Powers Combined without having to consider how safe the ability was to use, due to having Kinetic Energy available immediately afterwards. Without Inspiration, Varesh will be forced to be more careful with his ultimate and play a bit more safe in general.
Battlerites:
Inspiration (Perk)
Removed
Zander
Zander’s Stacked Deck saw a change a few months back that helped address his impressive burst potential at the time. After several changes to Arcane Catalyst, the previous power should fit better in his kit now without issue. He also sees some quality of life updates.
Grand Conjuration (M2)
Projectile speed increased from 26 to 28
Portal (Q)
Max teleport ranged increased from 7.5 to 8
Max teleport range with the Around the World rite increased from 9 to 9.6

Champion Updates:
With this patch we aim to smooth out current outliers in terms of Champion strength, without changing how rites or Champions work in substantial ways. We want to open up for additional choices at both the BPL Dreamhack finals and in general play, without stirring up the current state of the game dramatically.
Fixed another issue with certain M2 heals not finding targets correctly when throwing at a target next to a wall
Alysia
For Alysia we address her strong damage output slightly by adjusting some of her most popular rites. In addition it will no longer be as easy for her to apply a high duration Chill to enemies in close quarters.
Arctic Wind (Space)
Tooltip now shows Chill duration that is inflicted when using Arctic Wind
Battlerites
Ice Breaker (M2)
No longer deals bonus damage
Twirl (Space)
The second jump no longer inflicts Chill
Snowstorm (E)
Damage reduced from 6 x 2 (total 12) to 5 x 2 (total 10)
Bakko
Bakko sees a change to his newest rite in order to make it a bit more reliable and controllable.
Battlerites
Hold the Line (Q)
The first attack blocked with Bulwark now grants a shield absorbing 14 damage for 3s to the closest nearby ally and yourself, as opposed to a shield absorbing 18 to the closest ally with the least health.
Rampage (R)
Haste factor increased from 15% to 20%
Destiny
Battlerites:
Plasma Booster (E)
Fixed an issue where the shield gained through entering Plasma Wall would overwrite any shield gained through Transform Weapon
Iva
Iva has a very strong and versatile utility role in the current meta, something we want to preserve overall. However, with these changes she should be a little easier to pin down.
Battlerites:
Rocket Boosters (Space)
Haste factor reduced from 40% to 35%
Haste duration reduced from 2.5s to 2s
Blast Shield (Q)
Fading Haste factor reduced from 25% to 20%
Jumong
Hunting Arrow (M1)
Energy gain reduced from 9% to 8%
Rain of Arrows (Q)
Total energy gain reduced from 10% (4% from initial hit, 3 x 2% percent per subsequent damage dealt) to 7% (4% from initial hit, 3 x 1% per subsequent damage dealt)
Oldur
Sands of Time (M1)
Fixed an issue where Sands of Time would pass through Ice Crown
Battlerites
Time Walker (Q)
Now reduces cooldown of Shifting Sands by 3/1.5/0.75s per attack negated instead of for 3s per attack negated
Recreate (Space)
Damage absorbed by the shields granted reduced from 16 to 14
Pearl
This change to Pearl will remove some of her strength in 2v2 and as a singular surviving champion, without affecting her performance in 3v3 in any significant way.
Healing Wave (M2)
Cooldown increased from 5s to 6s
Cooldown reduction per ally increased from 1.5s to 2s
Rook
There's no denying that Rook became a powerhouse with his latest changes. We feel like he is approaching a role of play that could be interesting, but the value he currently offers is indeed a bit over the top. For this patch we're toning down what he currently gains from most of his popular rites.
Battlerites
Weapon Break (M2)
Damage reduction reduced from 33% to 25%
No longer grants bonus damage
Rook Smash (M2)
Bonus damage reduced from 6 to 4
Endurance (Space)
Cooldown reduction on hit reduced from 2s to 1s

Champion Updates
This patch sees some sweeping number tweaks to several characters, with a few functionality changes as well in preparation for the start of the group stage of Battlerite Pro League (BPL). We've given attention to a few champions who have not seen it in a while as well as toned down some of the champions that have made the strongest showing in BPL and competitive play thus far. We are continuing our work with balancing out the attractiveness of the least and most picked rites. We have still refrained from bigger mechanical changes however due to the proximity of this patch to start of the BPL group stage.
Alysia
Alysia has had problems with claiming a spot for herself among the champions of Battlerite, as it's tricky for her to consistently combo and maximize its effectiveness. With these changes, we aim to let her more actively engage in battles, have a higher potential for CC and be safer when getting into close range to execute her combos.
Glacial Prism (Q)
Cooldown reduced from 9s to 8s
Ice Block (EX Q)
Cooldown reduced from 9s to 8s
Shield health increased from 40 to 50
Flash Freeze (E) & Snow Cone (EX E)
Cooldown reduced from 9s to 8s
Ice Crown (R)
Now inflicts 1.75s Chill on impact and 1.75s Chill when destroyed
Chill (Debuff)
Max snare factor increased from 25% to 30%
Battlerites
Figure Skating
Haste now triggers when Ice Block (EX Q) ends, instead of when applied
Bakko
The Axe and Shield rite makes it difficult to keep track of when Bakko has or doesn't have access to Bulwark. Toning it down narrows the possibility space of Bulwark being available for now, but the rite may warrant a closer look again in the future.
Battlerites
Axe and Shield
Cooldown reduction reduced from 1s to 0.5s
Blossom
One of Blossom's main problems is due to the squishiness of her Tree of Life. With this health increase it will now survive most strong M2 attacks, while still falling to two of most ranged M1 attacks.
Tree of Life (Q)
Health increased from 24 to 30
Boom Bloom (E)
Cooldown reduced from 8s to 7s
Battlerites
Fluttering Grace
Haste factor per buff increased from 10% to 12%
Kindhearted
Butterfly bonus healing increased from 2 to 4
Nature's Presence
Bonus damage and healing factor increased from 15% to 20%
Refreshing Seed
Haste percentage increased from 35% to 40%
Pollen
Bonus stun duration increased from 0.4s to 0.6s
Puff
Knockback distance increased from 2 to 2.5
Knockback duration increased from 0.35s to 0.4s
Destiny
Destiny has fallen a bit out of favor of late, so she may get some more attention again in the close future. As a first step, her Counter cooldown has been changed to be in line with other Counters.
Sky Strike (Q)
Cooldown reduced from 9s to 8s
Ezmo
Ezmo has remained one of the most prominent ranged champions in competitive gameplay, with one of the main reasons being the strong Center Orb control due to his ultimate. It is something we will continue to examine, but for now we are reducing its collateral damage to enemy champions. Ezmo remains a very strong champion in other aspects too though. Ezmo will retain his Arcane Fire burst potential, but an increased reload time will decrease his overall damage.
Arcane Fire (M1)
Reload duration increased from 0.9s to 1s
Grimoire of Death (F)
Damage reduced from 55 to 50
Battlerites
Whizz
Fading haste factor reduced from 60% to 50%
Undermine
Weaken factor reduced from 50% to 40%
Freya
With the melee focused competitive meta of late, Freya is the Queen among melee champions. We are shifting some of her power from melee damage and mobility to ranged alternatives, so she can retain answers to ranged champions without being inescapable, as well as removing some of the enormous potential for shields she has.
Bash (M1)
Damage reduced from 10/10/16 to 10/10/14
Storm Mace (M2)
Damage increased from 10 to 12
Spring (Space) & Shock Vault (EX Space)
Haste factor reduced from 100% to 90%
Battlerites
Tempest
Haste duration reduced from 2s to 1.75s
Haste factor reduced from 35% to 30%
Thunderbolt
Bonus damage increased from 8 to 12
Electric Conduction
Shield health reduced from 14 to 12
Thundering Spring
Bonus duration reduced from 1s to 0.75s
Lightning Rod
Shield health reduced from 10 to 8
Rolling Thunder
Max range reduced from 2 to 1.75
Hammer Time
Cooldown reduction increased from 4s to 5s
Jade
With these changes we take some further steps to address Jade's role. She will now have to be at a slightly less safe distance to engage with her Revolver Shots and will be both less punishing and less slippery when she tried to escape to give her a more clearly defined weakness.
Revolver Shot (M1)
Range reduced from 7.6 to 7.4
Blast Vault (Space)
Damage reduced from 12 to 8
Smoke Veil (EX Q)
Haste duration reduced from 0.9s to 0.8s
Fading haste factor reduced from 100% to 90%
Battlerites
Gunslinger
Cooldown reduction per hit reduced from 0.3s to 0.25s
Deadly Focus
Bonus damage reduced from 6 to 5
Delight
Initial healing reduced from 6 to 5, and on interrupt healing reduced from 10 to 8
Jamila
Jamila receives further quality of life changes, along with increasing the reliability of her energy options.
Blood Kunai (EX M2)
Cooldown reduced from 7s to 6s
Projectile speed increased from 22 to 28
Phantom Strike (EX Space)
Now ignores Post Cast and Global Cooldown
Hook Shot (E)
Now ignores Global Cooldown
Stalking Phantom (F)
Cast time reduced from 0.7s to 0.5s
Poloma
Poloma sees some changes in value that will primarily help her self healing, while also increasing the strength of rites that have a medium pick rate, resulting in more strong options to pick from. Pixie now has the potential to be used more often as part of Poloma's rotation of abilities.
Soul Drain (EX Q)
Damage reduced from 15 to 10
Healing increased from 15 to 20
Pixie (R)
Cooldown reduced from 20s to 15s
Battlerites
Shimmering Bond
Healing shared bonus increased from 70% to 80%
Dire Wolf
Root duration increased from 1s to 1.2s
Raigon
For Raigon, we bring Parry in line in terms of cooldowns with Counters. He also gets more ways to deal real damage.
Parry (Q)
Cooldown reduced from 9s to 8s
Counterattack damage increased from 12 to 14
Fixed a bug where projectiles that return (i.e Boomerangs) would not add to Parry's reflect counter, after they had been reflected
Dragon Palm (R)
Damage increased from 8 to 10, wall impact damage increased from 10 to 12
Battlerites
Aerial Strike
Fixed a bug where Raigon could jump to the wrong target if a team member reflected an enemy Seismic Shock at the same time
Rook
Rook has some value taken from his infamous wall combos and is compensated with more ability to deal stray damage without committing. The reduced cooldown on Crushing Blow also makes him a bit less punishable.
Crushing Blow (M2)
Cooldown reduced from 8s to 7s
Damage increased from 16 to 20
Meatbolt (EX M2)
Cooldown reduced from 8s to 7s
Rush (Space)
Damage increased from 12-24 to 16-28
Smack (R)
Damage reduced from 12 to 6
Battlerites
Pummel Rush
Fixed a bug where the Raging Bull rite was not compatible with the Pummel Rush rite
Ruh Kaan
Ruh Kaan gets some more ability to put out pressure from a distance, while Claw of the Undying now won't mean that you completely sacrifice healing yourself to help an ally.
Claw of the Wicked (E)
Damage and healing increased from 10 to 12
Claw of the Undying (EX E)
Now also heals self for 8 when pulling an ally
Battlerites
Hunger
Knockback distance (distance target is pulled) increased from 2 to 2.5
Shifu
Battlerites
Thrust
Bonus damage per charge removed, base damage bonus increased from 2 to 3
Swift Feet
Bonus duration reduced from 1s to 0.7s
Bonus haste factor reduced from 15% to 10%
Thorn
While Thorn still has its place in coordinated tournament play, Thorn struggles more in general matchmaking games. It receives adjustments to its value when hitting its ranged pokes and to rites with lower pick rate.
Thorn Barrage (EX M2)
Damage increased from 10 to 12
Thorns (Buff)
Damage increased from 4 to 6
Healing increased from 8 to 10
Battlerites
Grounding Grasp
Root duration increased from 1s to 1.5s
Sinister Sap
Damage increased from 8 to 12
Ulric
Ulric is truly Unwavering, shaping the competitive landscape around him. We still want to preserve his general playstyle, but have taken steps to make him more vulnerable while doing so. He's no longer able to take as much of a beating as before and there are additional windows to punish him now. He still retains strong healing capabilities for his allies, but will instead be less able to take care of himself, or may be forced to prioritize healing himself more than before. All of his most picked rites, which offered amazing value, have also been toned down in different ways.
Max HP reduced from 240 to 230
Hammer of Justice (M1)
Visual effect of Charged Hammer of Justice made more noticeable
Intervene (Space)
Healing reduced from 12 to 9
Post wait time (the time before you can act after the Dash is finished) increased from 0.1s to 0.15s
Crusade (EX Sapce)
Healing reduced from 12 to 9
Post wait time increased from 0s to 0.1s
Favor (Buff)
Bonus healing factor reduced from 20% to 15%
Visual effect toned down
Battlerites
Cleave
No longer deals bonus area damage
Devotion
Now grants 3 bonus healing while healing allies
Divine Protection
Remade: Applying Favor on an ally grants them a Shield. It absorbs up to 12 damage for 1.5s
Penitence
Incoming healing reduction reduced from 33% to 25%
Vindicator
Now reduces cooldown of Intervene by 4s instead of a a full cooldown reset.
Zander
Zander has been standing slightly behind Ulric, unwilling to let someone else take the spotlight. He sees adjustments in a couple of different ways, but most of all his healing has been toned down while he still retains much of his utility. The Portal is now more predictable than before, the time before someone reappears after entering it having been evened out and there's now a bigger opportunity to punish someone appearing before they can act. Zander is also no longer able to stay at as safe of a distance to use his Portal efficiently.
Spotlight (EX M2)
Healing reduced form 28 to 21
Portal (Q)
Minimum travel duration (the minimum time it takes for a character to teleport to the new location, once the location has been decided on) increased from 0.2s to 0.3s
This will make it take longer for a champion to re-appear if they choose to just teleport on the spot.
Maximum travel duration (the maximum time it takes for a character to teleport to the new location) reduced from 0.5s to 0.4s[
list]
This will make it so a champion appears quicker when they teleport as far away as they can.
Post wait time increased from 0s to 0.1s. This affects how quickly a champion can act after having been teleported.
Maximum cast range reduced from 10 to 8
Sheep Trick (E)
Cooldown increased from 9s to 10s
Impact delay increased from 0.8s to 0.9s
Battlerites
Heart Restoration
Healing reduced from 6 to 4
Stacked Deck
No longer grants an extra card for Zander, only for the Illusion
Showdown
Shield amount reduced from 14 to 12

Added possibility to unready before the match has been started in the pre-match lobby
Can now change font size used in the chat
Horror themed music will be played in the menus while Tales of Horror is active
Champion Updates
As the first qualifiers for the Battlerite Pro League (BPL) begin shortly after this patch, balance changes for this patch are generally just number tweaks and many changes are aimed at evening out power difference between popular and less popular rites. As we move forward, we will consider bigger changes to rite or even ability functionality while taking consideration of BPL dates.
Ezmo
Battlerites
Warlock's Grip
Bonus range reduced from 25% to 20%
Iva
Battlerites
Tractor Pulse
Stun duration increased from 0.5s to 0.7s
Jade
With the last change to the Surprise Shot rite, Ambush garnered more attention and use. The amount of pressure Jade is able to exert with double Snipe is almost overbearing, so we are changing the cooldown reset to a cooldown reduction. With this change, Jade will still be able to Snipe, enter Stealth, and then begin casting another Snipe before Stealth runs out.
Battlerites
Ambush
Now reduces the cooldown of Snipe by 4s instead of resetting the cooldown
Jamila
The Shadowblade Assassin has struggled a bit since her release. With some quality of life changes to her core kit, she will be able to more consistently pressure her enemies. Her damage rites see improvements across the board.
Shuriken (M2)
Cooldown reduced from 7s to 6s
Deadly Blow (R)
Cast time reduced from 0.8s to 0.7s
Battlerites
Deadly Star
Bonus damage increased from 2 to 3
Roundhouse Kick
Damage increased from 10 to 12
Blade Swirl
Damage increased from 8 to 10
Quick Strike
Damage increased from 16 to 20
Pearl
Pearl has always been hard to pin down, but some of her ability to shut down pursuers is too powerful in 2v2.
Bubble Barrier (E)
Maximum movement reduction for enemies in the Bubble reduced from 60% to 50%
Battlerites
Rippling Waters
Bonus damage reduced from 5 to 3
Raigon
Our favorite Prince in exile has been having somewhat of a difficult time in higher levels of play. These changes will help him make more of an impact when the opportunity arises.
Battlerites
Royal Descent
Bonus damage increased from 6 to 8
Riposte
Damage increased from 8 to 10
Shifu
Tendon Swing has always been a very powerful tool in Shifu's kit, but it's overbearing in its current state. These changes allow it to remain as a CC tool, while also making it trickier to utilize for multiple targets.
Tendon Swing (R)
Damage reduced from 12 to 9
Angle reduced from 180 degrees to 150 degrees
Ulric
Ulric, the fierce crusader of light, truly arrived with his hammer swinging in full force. For now, we want to keep his playstyle as intact as possible, while addressing some of the value he gains through his less interactive abilities. As always with new champions, we will continue to keep a close eye on his performance.
Sanctuary (EX Q)
Healing and shield value reduced from 20 to 18
Aegis of Valor (F)
Fixed an issue where the Aegis could deal double damage when reflected
Favor (Buff)
Bonus healing reduced from 25% to 20%
Duration increased from 5s to 5.5s
Battlerites
Cleave
Secondary damage reduced from full damage to 16 damage
Enchanted Weapon
Bonus damage increased from 2 to 3
Divine Protection
Damage reduction reduced from 15% to 10%
Initiation
Travel distance bonus increased from 33% to 40%
Light Speed
Movement speed bonus per stack increased from 15% to 20%
Zander
Zander continues to define the meta at top-level play through the sheer amount of utility he provides. We are toning down some of his utility, while keeping a watchful eye on this crafty illusionist for the future.
Spotlight (EX M2)
Max knockback distance reduced from 2.75 to 2.25
Mind Games (EX Space)
Damage reduced from 12 to 8
Portal (Q)
Cooldown increased from 11s to 12s
Arcane Catalyst (Debuff)
Duration reduced from 3s to 2.5s
Battlerites
Arcane Conductor
Duration bonus decreased from 1s to 0.5s
