Community Spotlight
As we have a lot of new players here this weekend we'll highlight a couple of tools and places to keep an eye on that the community have created to enhance the Battlerite experience.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BrCalc
http://brcalc.thomastuts.com/
BrCalc is a place where you can quickly get an overview over each of the champions, their abilities and Battlerites. You can also plan out and experiment with different builds and really go nuts with theorycrafting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battlerite Stats
https://battlerite-stats.ru//
Battlerite Stats is a site where you can see the leaderboards for Battlerite. You can also view your own profile to find out winrates, stats on your own rating wins and losses and your own place on the leaderboards. You can also check the same stats for the teams you are apart of. It also allows for linking your twitch account to your Battlerite Stats account to display that you are streaming and what kind of champions you usually play. Supports both English and Russian. Battlerite Stats only contains data about the players who have been looked up by it though, so it does not contain the entire playerbase.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://masterbattlerite.com/
Masterbattlerite functions similarly to Battlerite Stats in that you can view your own profile and stats along with the stats for your teams. It also functions as a group finder.

http://www.battlecrank.com/
Battlecrank is a great site covering many different topics regarding Battlerite, with articles, guides and think pieces.
