Game Modes Explained — Brawlhalla Guide

An overview of all game modes in Brawlhalla, including Ranked, Casual, Custom Games, and Training, with explanations of their objectives.

Brawlhalla offers a diverse range of game modes to suit every playstyle, from competitive ranked matches to casual fun with friends. Each mode has its own objectives and rules, providing endless replayability.

Core Game Modes:

1. Ranked 1v1: Test your skills against other players in a competitive environment. Your performance here determines your ELO rating and rank. Winning matches will increase your rank, while losing will decrease it. This mode is the primary way to climb the competitive ladder.
2. Ranked 2v2: Team up with a friend or a random player and compete in 2v2 ranked matches. Coordination and teamwork are key to success in this mode. Your team's ELO is tracked separately from your 1v1 ELO.
3. Friendly 2v2: A casual version of 2v2, perfect for practicing with a partner without the pressure of ranked play.
4. Free-for-All (FFA): A chaotic 4-player brawl where everyone is against everyone else. The goal is to be the last Legend standing or have the most KOs when time runs out. This is a great mode for quick, fun matches.
5. Experimental 1v1: Play 1v1 matches with experimental features that might be added to the main game in the future. This is a good way to try out new mechanics and provide feedback.
6. Custom Game: Create your own lobbies with custom rules, maps, and player counts. Perfect for playing with friends or hosting tournaments.
7. Training: A dedicated mode to practice combos, test Legend abilities, and refine your skills against a customizable bot. You can adjust bot behavior, damage, and even record and playback actions.

Beyond these, Brawlhalla frequently introduces new Brawl of the Week modes, offering unique twists on gameplay, such as Bombsketball or Kung Foot. Keep an eye on the 'Play' menu for these rotating events.
