Brawlhalla 10.00: Guilds Start Small, Lady Vera Takes Center

Patch 10.00 arrived on November 5, 2025. The 10th Anniversary update added Guilds Phase 1 and the new Legend, Lady Vera. This article records the patch as it launched. The Anniversary Event has ended, and Guild Missions and Battles later arrived with Patch 10.01. For newer coverage, use the Brawlhalla topic hub.

Guilds Phase 1: What Shipped vs What’s Missing

What shipped in Phase 1

• Create or join a Guild on any platform

• Recruit and apply with in‑game tools

• Sort and view member lists

• Leaders and officers can edit the Guild profile

• Old Clans with recent activity were auto‑converted to Guilds

What was missing at launch

• No Guild Missions, Battles, or rewards yet

• No Guild progression system yet

Why it matters

• Phase 1 was about gathering a roster and setting roles. Patch 10.01 added Guild Missions and Battles on December 4, 2025.

Quick setup that actually helps

• Post one line in the Guild description that states your queue focus, time windows, and platform split

• Use a simple role naming scheme: Core, Trial, Social

• Set a two‑strike rule for AFKs and dodges to keep the roster clean before Phase 2 lands

Lady Vera Deep Dive: Kit, Sigs, and Day‑1 Counters

Lady Vera brings Chakram and Scythe with a defensive statline. She rewards air control and measured punishes.

What feels strong

• Chakram aerial drift and priority during Split form

• Early kills off certain Signature confirms despite low Strength

• Safe pokes that force you to respect space rather than mash back

What feels fair

• Grounded control is awkward if you deny the air

• Split form struggles to kill without the right confirm

• Scythe whiff punishes are real if Vera overextends

Practical counterplay drills

• Hold your jump. Chakram farms players who panic‑jump. Save it to break strings

• Dash short under Chakram drift instead of full retreats. Force Scythe to guess

• Anti‑air first, punish second. Spear nAir and Bow nLight pin Vera above you. Blasters dLight checks drift

• Edgeguard from stage. Send projectiles or disjoints rather than chasing low where Scythe flips positions

Legend picks that feel good into Vera

• Bow users like Ember, Koji, Kaya for vertical pins

• Blasters like Diana, Cassidy for grounded checks and straight lines

• Lance picks like Orion or Ulgrim to break distance, then disengage

2025 Anniversary Event Math

The ticket window below ran during November and December 2025. It has ended, but the totals remain here as a record of how the event worked.

Dates that mattered

• Earn Event Tickets by finishing Event missions until Nov 25

• Nov 26 to Dec 3 is the catch‑up window. You can spend saved Tickets or buy if you choose

• All 67 Legends are free to play in week one

• Double XP and Gold weekends: Nov 14–16, Nov 21–23, Nov 28–30

Costs to unlock before the Grand Prize

Players had to unlock those six items before claiming Ivaldi’s Finest Ulgrim free. The full target was 1,850 tickets before the November 25 earn cutoff.

Routing tips

• Do your Event missions first when you log on. Queue choices are faster when they overlap a mission condition

• Use the free‑rotation week to speed Esports v3 Color unlocks while farming tickets

• During double weekends, chain short queue modes for mission rolls and Gold

Balance and QoL That Actually Change Your Queue

• Console report tools added. Report menu is clearer, faster, and works on controller

• Event Center shows Ticket total at the top right

• Performance got some love. Xbox and PlayStation run better. Nintendo Switch has minor gains with more to come. Starlight Falls runs cleaner

• Bug fix for companions getting stuck on some platforms

• Heads up for PC. 32‑bit Windows loses support after patch 10.01. Starting 10.02 in 2026, the game will not run on 32‑bit

Early Meta Notes: Ranked, 2v2, and Map Flow

• Ranked 1v1. Expect more air standoffs. Vera players will try to live above side platforms. Keep anti‑airs buffered

• 2v2. Chakram excels at extending teammate juggles. Do not burn both dodges high. Drop to platform, fast fall, then jump out

• Maps. If you struggle against Chakram, prefer flatter picks with fewer tall platforms so you can chase landings

Community Signal: The Majority Topics and Why They Stick

• Vera heat. Most talk centers on Signature force and how safe Chakram feels in the air. People argue over broken vs strong, but everyone agrees you must respect her space

• Guilds were basic in Phase 1. Players treated it as setup and wanted Missions, Battles, and reasons to log in as a group

• Event pacing. Ticket math is fine if you play a bit each day. Anxiety comes from the late earn cutoff and the fear of missing the Ulgrim skin

Patch 10.00 Launch Playbook

• 10 minute lab block. Open Training, set bot to Jump and Dodge. Drill these anti air checks 20 reps each:

  • Spear nAir into chase dodge fast fall

  • Bow nLight, chase dodge nAir for the pin

  • Blasters dLight into sAir or Recovery

• Two counters in pocket. Pick one Bow and one Blasters legend you already like. Examples: Koji or Kaya for Bow, Diana or Cassidy for Blasters. Stick to them for the week

• Ban tall platforms. Favor flatter layouts if Chakram is giving you trouble

• Event route at launch. Players aimed for 1,850 Tickets before November 25 and used the double weekends for catch up and Gold

• Guild prep. Publish a one line purpose in the Guild description, set roles Core, Trial, Social, and a two strike AFK rule. Recruit during peak hours with a short message: queue focus, time window, platform

• Ranked rhythm. Play 3 Experimental to warm up, then 5 ranked. Break if you lose 3 in a row. Reset in Customs or Missions

What Came Next

Patch 10.01 delivered Guild Missions, Guild Battles, and weekly leaderboards on December 4, 2025. That completed the immediate Phase 2 promise made in the 10.00 notes. The Lady Vera matchup advice above remains a record of the launch-week meta, not a current balance ranking.
