Battlerite Royale Patch 0.3.0 is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, November 7th, at 08:00 UTC. There will be minimal downtime.
Battlerite One Year Anniversary
It’ll be a year since Battlerite was released as Free-to-Play on November 8th!
Between November 7th to November 14th we’re celebrating with the Anniversary Chest – a chest that contains all droppable Creepy, Frozen, Lunar, and Prehistoric items. It guarantees a non-duplicate Epic or Legendary drop from any of these events. All event items that can be dropped can be viewed in your collection, but cannot be purchased for Tokens or Diamonds.
In Battlerite Royale, you can obtain these chests by:
- Purchasing them directly for 200 Diamonds per Chest
- Purchase 5 Chests for 1,000 Diamonds and receive 1 bonus Chest for free
- Purchase 20 Chesets for 4,000 Diamonds and receive 7 bonus Chests for free
- Completing this Event Quest:
- Grab 6 Player with the Rocket Booster
If you’re looking for a way to earn more Chests, you can also log in to Battlerite between November 8th 8:00 AM UTC to November 9th 8:00 UTC to get a free Anniversary Chest and avatar. There are also two Event Quests that can be found there. Read up on them over in the Battlerite Arena Patch Notes.

Rook
Rook gained a large buff with the leaping change to Crushing Blow a few patches ago. While this put him in a better spot for Royale, it also encouraged Rooks to play in a rather cowardly playstyle – Rooks could play a midrange neutral game through boulders and punish his enemy with either Crushing Blow or Berserk on reaction. While having a safe option is strong in Royale, it would be more fitting for Rook to want to rush into the thick of things and pummel people into the ground. These changes are aimed at giving Rooks a reason to get in there and brawl. Damage has been moved from both Crushing Blow and Rush into the guaranteed Berserk on successful Rushes. His Berserk also causes reduced damage taken to improve trades, while its movement speed component has been scaled back to make it worse for running away. Pummel’s movement speed while attacking has been increased during berserk to offset the nerf to Berserk’s movement speed bonus, causing a net increase in Rook’s movement speed when attacking during Berserk.
