Brawlhalla Patch 8.11 Introduces Legend Imugi and Bubble Bomb Gadget
Brawlhalla patch 8.11 adds the new Greatsword and Axe Legend Imugi, an experimental Bubble Bomb gadget, and overhauled Ranked 1v1 and 2v2 map pools. The update also includes online optimizations, UI tweaks, and matchmaking bug fixes.
Brawlhalla expands the roster with Imugi, the Warrior Chef wielding a Greatsword and Axe. Alongside a new fighter, the patch introduces an experimental crowd-control gadget, adjusts competitive map pools, and applies a wide slate of bug fixes.
New Legend: Imugi
Imugi joins the roster with 8 Strength, 8 Defense, 3 Dexterity, and 3 Speed. The Warrior Chef comes with three skins: Ship Sinker Imugi, Mecha Imugi, and Exoshell Imugi. Accompanying cosmetic items include the Great Pop weapon skin, Clamshell Grasp gauntlets, and a Mammoth Ride emote.
Experimental Bubble Bomb
Players can test the new Bubble Bomb gadget in Experimental 1v1 and custom lobbies. Direct hits trap opponents in a pink bubble for 3 to 4 seconds, while non-direct explosions bubble targets for 2.5 seconds. Trapped players take 1.5x damage and knockback when attacked, though teammate tags or enemy strikes pop the bubble early.
Ranked Map Pools and Matchmaking
Ranked 1v1 and 2v2 receive dedicated new map pools. Mustafar and Crumbled Chasm join the casual 1v1 rotation. Volleybrawl receives ball spawn adjustments to prevent certain Signature attacks from instantly hitting spawns on drop.
UI and Mallhalla Updates
Mallhalla sorting now prioritizes discounted and seasonal items at the front, while owned items drop to the bottom of lists. PC and Mac users hitting level 100 on a Legend see a new font color and glow effect for the gold name reward. Controller search bar bugs on PC, Mac, and Steam Deck are also resolved.
General Bug Fixes
The update resolves online memory optimizations, fixes friend status display text in custom lobbies, and corrects a console crash in the inventory page. Map-specific issues on Theed Power Generator, such as laser gate weapon spawns carrying players off-screen, have been corrected.
Why this patch matters
Patch 8.11 alters the meta with a high-defense new Legend and experimental gadget testing, alongside quality-of-life adjustments for UI and matchmaking clarity.
