### Minor Technical Patch

- **added** — Implement seasonal reset structure for ranked ladder with 6-month-long seasons starting in September and March
- **changed** — Ranked queue will undergo short downtime between 1 and 2 hours to support season system changes

**Hello Brawlers!**

We’re just posting to alert you of a small technical patch we’re releasing to support a change we’ll be making to Battlerite’s ranked queue. **There will be a short downtime**, most likely lasting between 1 and 2 hours.

Recently, some community members came together to send us a researched and carefully considered document presenting some desired changes to the game. Many of those changes are related to balance, which would be dangerous to mess with, so we’re going to hold off on those. However, the most popularly requested change was to introduce a regular seasonal reset to the ranked ladder.

We’ve decided to implement the structure necessary to do that, including generating around 50 years of future seasons. We can’t say we’ll have 50 more years of Battlerite, but now our rolling season system supports it! We’ll be doing rolling, consistent **6-month-long seasons** starting in **September **and **March.** The reason we’re waiting until September to implement it is that it requires some attention from us on the back end, and we want to be reliably on hand to do it. September and March are ideal months for that, and should continue to be into the far-flung future.

The patch we’re introducing today is just setting the groundwork to allow us to activate the season changes. Doing so will require an hour of downtime, but you’ll be notified when the time comes.

Thanks for playing, Brawlers. While our attention is on our current project, Battlerite and its community will always mean a lot to us.

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.

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.

Battlerite Arena Patch 2.1 is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, May 1st at 8:00 UTC. Downtime is scheduled to last up to one hour. This patch contains the end of Battle Season 1, the start of Battle Season 2, and various balance changes.

**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.

**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._

### Battlerite Patch 2.0

- Date: 2019-02-15
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/504370/view/5156014950378307890
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/battlerite/releases/steam-5156014950378307890

The Big Patch™ hits servers one day before the free to play launch of Battlerite Royale, on February 18th at 9:00 AM CET. Downtime is scheduled to last up to 2 hours. Both Battlerite and Battlerite Royale will be offline during this time.

There are lots of large changes coming to Battlerite with this patch. You can read up on the thought process behind these changes in our [**Dev Update.**](https://blog.battlerite.com/the-big-patch/)

##### 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 was 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**](https://www.battlerite.com/battlepass/) 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

### Battlerite Patch 1.11

- Date: 2019-01-31
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/504370/view/5156014950378308540
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/battlerite/releases/steam-5156014950378308540

Battlerite Arena Patch 1.11 brings Legends of Quna to Talon Island. As stated in our earlier [Dev Update,](https://blog.battlerite.com/dev-update-january-25-2019/) 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

- Rewards 3 Lunar Chests

- Win 15 Casual or League Rounds as a Support Champion

- Available between February 6 at 8:00 AM UTC to February 13 at 8:00 AM UTC

- Rewards 3 Lunar Chests

- Win a Casual or League Match as a Champion of each Champion Type (Melee, Ranged, Support)

- Available between February 13th at 8:00 AM UTC to February 19 at 8:00 AM UTC

- Rewards 1 Dragon Chest

##### 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, hi
