    Battlerite Report

    The Battlerite Report


    Brite.png

    Battlerite Early Access Steam release is NOW! 14.99$ Free to play 1st Quarter of 2017

    Is a PvP team arena brawler and the spiritual successor to critically acclaimed Bloodline Champions. Experience the unique combination of a top down shooter with a fast paced fighting game.


    Arena and Custom Platform

    2v2, 3v3, Co-op AI, and Training Grounds are all supported in Battlerite, As well as Custom Server that supports 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3. To dive a little deeper into Custom matches rounds, time can be selected from 1-5 minutes and the final score can be altered 1-5 final score points. Maps in 2v2, 3v3, and Co-op AI are randomly generated in matchmaking you may que each of these modes with a full group or solo. In Custom matches you may select between 3 maps and each map has themes a night and day between each map, again in matchmaking those themes are also randomly generated.

    Unique Features

    Once you enter into your first match you will notice a line of target dummies before each match begins, this practice time expires when all players connect to the match and then you get to choose your Battlerite… What is a Battlerite? A Battlerite is one of 3 unique traits you choose from the to best support your champion before each round of each begins having a unique effect on your game play.  Each selection is tethered to one of your abilities so make sure you make full use of this ability whenever it is off cooldown to get the full effect in the arena match. You have roughly 2 minutes to select your Battlerite so think about your strategy and the ability your want to use most often to assure your matches success.  Once selections are made you are automatically mounted up on your predetermined mount…. Thats right you have a mount this positioning is key in Battlerite, the suggestion to you is to not engage or dismount before you are ready to execute your plan and are in your proper map position to get a one up on your opponents.

    Champions

    There are 18 different characters in Battlerite each unique with a totally different play style.

    To learn more about these characters you can go to www.battlerite.com



    Champion Abilities

    Each Champion has 5 basic abilities, as well as 1 assigned EX ability and 1 ultimate ability on the normal arena user interface. There are also 2 hidden abilities, these can be found by holding down shift and act as EX abilities as well. The hidden abilities are tethered to one of your basic abilities. Try to keep in mind when using these EX abilities you use some of your stored ultimate charge. In most cases your want to save up this charge to cap and execute your ultimate faster than your opponent. Your EX should act as quick situational actions that must be used only when you are in a desperate spot, to achieve victory or avoid defeat.

    These are brief descriptions of each champion and there are more to come, there are many revealed already they just haven’t been introduced into closed beta yet. For more detail about each champion and there abilities please see www.battlerite.com


    Customization and Rewards

You can unlock each item using in-game tokens you acquire by leveling champions and earning ranking. You could also have a chance at randomly unlocking them through 2 different kinds of chest.  1. being a silver chest you receive by completing daily battle quest and 2. being a gold chest you can buy with 500 battle coins you earn by leveling and ranking up. The gold chest contains 3 random items with 1 of those items being a guaranteed epic item, and Silver chest contain just 3 random items.  Not only can you receive items and mounts, but you also have a chance of getting cool ingame social portraits.

    Even if its from the taw.net domain, if you are not expecting a file to be attached to an email.. just delete / remove it.
