The Gauntlets Update - Patch 2.16

New Legend and Weapon!

We’re very excited to be releasing Gauntlets and our new Legend Kor today! Gauntlets are a fast, close range, high speed, low damage weapon that lends itself well to players who prefer rushdowns and mixups. We’re really excited to see what the community will be able to do with this new weapon, (Post those GIFs!) and hope that everyone will have fun with this new addition the weapon arsenal of Brawlhalla.

• Gauntlets have arrived!

• Kor the Golem is now available to play!

• Weapons: Gauntlets & Hammer

• Stats: 6/5/7/4

Dodge Changes

We’re making a few adjustments this patch to help distinguish between chase dodges (dodges performed at full velocity) and regular dodges. The aim is to create a better balance between offense and defense, instead of encouraging people to play it safe at all times. These changes should allow for more bursts of strings and exchanging blows, while preventing situations where players are encouraged to dodge and retaliate instead of initiate.

• Grounded Spot Dodge no longer cancelable after the 16th frame (Previously 20th frame).

• Aerial Spot Dodge no longer cancelable after the 18th frame (Previously 20th frame).

• All dodges (except chase dodge) have 2 frames before you can attack after the dodge is completed.

• All Directional (except chase dodge) increased duration from 16 frames to 22 frames, and slowed to compensate (slightly less distance than before)

• All ground dodges (except chase dodge) have an increased cooldown from 50 frames to 60 frames.

Balance Changes

Gadgets

The point blank throw with an explosive is devastatingly lethal and can be very difficult to avoid. We've giving thrown bombs and mines some scaling to lower their lethality at close range. Mines have also gotten a slight decrease in Force to decrease the amount of early deaths off of setups.

• Bouncy Bomb: Force scales similarly to thrown weapons, decreasing Force at point blank range.

• AdjustedProximity MineForce scales similarly to thrown weapons, decreasing Force at point blank range; Decreased thrown Variable Force from 50 to 45; Decreased armed Variable Force
