You can view a teaser and an explanation of the upcoming M1 changes here.

Patch 0.11.1.0 is scheduled for the 28th February and will include bug fixes and champion updates. Servers will have a planned downtime on 15:00 CET (6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EST), and the process is expected to take up to 1 hour.

The M1 gameplay changes originally planned for this patch have been delayed by a minimum of two weeks due to a critical team member being out of commission for nearly a month.

As a highly-valued Battlerite player, we wanted to make sure you were notified as soon as possible. We realise these are very anticipated changes, so we have decided to showcase a small teaser of the changes in Monday’s dev blog.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. These gameplay changes are our highest priority right now and our dedicated team is working hard on improving your Battlerite experience.

Features & Content

New Mounts – Emperor Scorpion & Deathstalker Scorpion

Champion Changes & Fixes

General

Fixed a bug causing the impact location of Healing Potion (Lucie), Healing Wave (Pearl) and Rejuvenating Sands (Oldur) to be slightly incorrect

“Air time” added to the tooltips of several mobility abilities.

Pestilus – Brain Bug damage limit tooltip changed from Panic Damage Limit to Brain Bug Damage Limit

Using a Counter-type ability at the end of Iva’s Zap buff no longer renders the player model invisible

Jade

Jade’s defensive EX has been missing something to compliment her playstyle properly. This change should make it fit in a bit better in her kit while also making her feel a little more slippery again.

Smoke Veil (EX Q)

Now grants Jade a 100% haste that fades over 0.6s.



Jumong

Fixed a bug that made it possible for Jumong to recast several abilities simultaneously.

Fixed a bug that caused the Deadly Trap Battlerite to be triggered twice in combination with the Death Mark Battlerite.



Pearl

Rippling Waters (Battlerite Round 1)

Fixed a bug where hitting a wall through a bubble with the Soaking Wet Battlerite and the Splash Damage Battlerite would not apply the correct silence duration to nearby enemies.

Fixed a bug where hitting a wall through a bubble with the Splash Damage Battlerite would not apply any damage to nearby enemies.



Raigon

Raigon has had some trouble dealing damage and could sometimes feel a bit immobile. A damage boost to Heavenly Strike and his sword attack being faster during Retribution should alleviate this a bit. Some tweaks to his Battlerites will make some of his lesser picked choices feel more tempting.

Retribution (M2)

Charges will no longer be consumed if Raigon is interrupted before he swings his sword

The sword swing at the end is now faster (enabling Raigon to resume moving again quicker)

Heavenly Strike (Space)

Damage increased from 18 to 20

Parry (Q)

Duration added to tooltip

Fixed a bug that caused parried projectiles to be offset from your aiming position

Wrath of the Tiger (F)

Fixed a bug where some abilities could cause Raigon’s ultimate location to move

Aerial Strike (Battlerite Round 1)

Raigon will no longer get an Aerial Strike Recast from Parrying another Raigon’s Seismic Shock

Royal Descent (Battlerite Round 2)

Damage bonus reduced from 7 to 6

Duelist (Battlerite Round 2)

Now grants 2 health back for each deflected attack

Hawk Dive (Battlerite Round 4)

Fading Snare duration increased from 1.2s to 1.6s

Resolve (Battlerite Round 4)

Bonus energy gained from the reduced from 7% to 6%



Rook

When Rook smashes, he smashes hard! Frenzy is one of his most powerful and popular Battlerites, and also affects many of the other popular choices. Tuning it back a bit will allow for other choices to shine throughout his Battlerite tree. In addition reducing the additional damage from Crumble should temper his violent outbursts a bit.

Frenzy (Battlerite Round 2)

Berserk duration reduced from 1.2s to 1s

Crumble (Battlerite Round 3)

Bonus damage reduced from 4 to 2



Shifu

Shifu has been hard to catch. Decreasing his immaterial duration after Kunju will allow for more windows to strike at him. He will also need to be more mindful of when to and when to not strike after Kunju.

Kunju (Q)

Immaterial duration reduced from 1s to 0.8s

The empowered Spear Slash after a successful counter will now be removed after a miss or when hitting a counter.



Sirius

Sirius’ Prismatic Strike has occasionally felt a bit… off. These changes should make it feel more reliable and fair.

Prismatic Strike (R)

Can now be interrupted, yielding no melee strike.

Reworked to more reliably detect impact with enemies, causing Sirius to stop and hit more consistently

Animations now work as intended.



Taya

Fixed a bug where reflected boomerangs would sometimes deal double the damage.

Returning boomerangs can no longer sometimes clip through shields

Gale (Battlerite Round 1)

Now works with Zephyr (EX Q)



General Changes & Fixes

General Mount optimizations

GUI

Champion Selection Frame for level 10 and 20 no longer rescales when hovered over

Region list is now sorted by latency

Region list layout has been changed to support more entries
