Introducing, Imugi – the Warrior Chef who’s ready to cook up a real feast! 🍲

Over his century-long quest to become a true dragon, Imugi traveled with many companions, including his good pal Jaeyun! Whether slicing foes or ingredients for dinner, the blades of Imugi’s Greatsword & Axe always strike true.

Patch 8.11 also brings a new Experimental Gadget: Bubble Bomb, more Esports Items available in Mallhalla, and a new Ranked Map pool. Also starting Friday the 26th, there will be a new Kung Fu Panda Crossover Avatar featuring Zhen and a weekend of discounts on all previous Brawlhalla x Kung Fu Panda Crossover Items!

All this, plus Bug Fixes, Game Improvements, new rewards for Twitch drops, and so much more! Read on to find out about all the new content.

Imugi – “The Warrior Chef”
Weapons: Axe, Greatsword
Stats: 8 Strength, 8 Defense, 3 Dexterity, 3 Speed
“Rewarded for both his successful transformation and culinary achievements, Imugi was taken to Valhalla. He was delighted to see his closest companion and brother-in-arms, Jaeyun. He loves to serve his hungriest pals Xull and Mako, though the annual hot dog eating contest was eventually called a draw after running out of hot dogs, buns, and patience.”

Greatsword: Crowd Control

Try out the newest Gadget in Experimental 1v1 & Custom Games with Test Features enabled..

Inspired by the Bubble Tag Mode, throw this new Gadget at an opponent to trap them in a pink bubble!

If the Gadget is thrown and hits a player, they are bubbled for 3 to 4 seconds.
On a non-direct hit, there is a small explosion radius that bubbles players for 2.5 seconds.
The bubble pops if they are hit by an attack or tagged by a teammate.
If attacked, they’ll take 1.5x damage and knockback.
If the gadget misses and hits a wall or platform, it "pops" and disappears instead of bouncing and being reusable.

Please make sure to continue giving us your feedback on this and other Test Features on any of our other official social channels!

Patch 8.11 introduces new Map Pools specifically for Ranked 1v1 & 2v2s. We’ve also added Mustafar and Crumbled Chasm to the Casual 1v1 pool.
