Battlerite Patch 1.9.1 is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, November 7th, at 08:00 UTC. There will be minimal downtime.
Battlerite One Year Anniversary Event
It'll be a year since Battlerite was released as Free-to-Play on November 8th!
Between November 7th to November 14th we're celebrating with the Anniversary Chest - a chest that contains all droppable Creepy, Frozen, Lunar, and Prehistoric items. It guarantees a non-duplicate Epic or Legendary drop from any of these events. All event items that can be dropped can be viewed in your collection, but cannot be purchased for Tokens or Gems.
In Battlerite you can obtain these chests by:
- Purchasing them for 200 Gems per Chest
- Purchase 5 Chests for 1,000 Gems and receive 1 bonus Chest for free
- Purchase 20 Chest for 4,000 Gems and receive 7 bonus Chests for free
- Completing Event Quests:
- Win 20 Casual, League or Duel Rounds
- Win a Casual or League Match as a Champion of each Champion type (Melee, Ranged, Support)
- Logging in between November 8th 8:00 AM UTC to November 9th 8:00 UTC to get a free Anniversary Chest and an avatar
If you're looking for the chance to get another Anniversary Chest, there's also an Event Quest in Battlerite Royale that will reward one too!

Replays (Formerly Odeum)

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)
- Shield Value increased from 10 to 14
Bakko
Battlerites
- Adrenaline Rush (Space)
- Bonus damage reduced from 10 to 8
- Adrenaline Slam (E)
- Bonus damage reduced from 10 to 8
Croak
Battlerites
- Time to Strike (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
- Tsunami (Q)
- Damage increased from 10 to 12
- Tasty Fish (E)
- Healing increased from 8 to 10
Sirius
Battlerites
- Sunbath (M2)
- Additional healing increased from 12 to 14
- Cosmic Reach (Space)
- Bonus max range increased from 20% to 25%
- Moonstone (E)
- Cooldown reduction increased from 2s to 2.5s
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
- Devastation (M2)
- No longer resets Hand of Judgement's cooldown on hit, instead reduces it by 1s (on hit)
- Silence (M2)
- Renamed to Mute
- Wonder (Space)
- Bonus Shield value reduced from 14 to 12
