How Much Glory Do You Get Per Win in Brawlhalla?
The core question for many aspiring Brawlhalla warriors is: how much Glory do I actually earn per win? The answer, while straightforward initially, has a few nuances that are critical to understand if you’re aiming to maximize your cosmetic collection. In the early stages of your Ranked career, every victory grants you a solid 20 Glory. This remains consistent until you reach a milestone of 150 wins, at which point you’ll have accumulated a substantial 3000 Glory. However, the journey doesn’t stop there. After your first 150 victories, the Glory awarded per win starts to decrease. This scaling reduction is designed to reward early dedication and encourage players to consistently engage with the Ranked queues. While the specific formula for this post-150 win reduction isn’t explicitly given in the Brawlhalla documentation, the key takeaway is that you earn slightly less glory with each win beyond 150.
Glory Earning Mechanics in Brawlhalla
Glory is one of the key currencies in Brawlhalla, used to purchase exclusive cosmetic items from the Ranked section of the Mallhalla, including highly sought-after Skyforged and Goldforged colors and weapon skins. It’s a testament to your skill and dedication within the Ranked ecosystem. Understanding how to obtain Glory efficiently is essential for any serious player.
Glory Through Wins
As mentioned, you begin your Glory journey earning 20 per victory. This is a significant way to accumulate a large portion of your Glory. The goal then is to secure as many of these initial victories to claim those sweet cosmetics early. Beyond the initial 150 wins, the Glory per win starts to diminish. This change motivates players to strive for overall higher rankings and dedication to the Ranked mode.
Glory Through Ranked Seasons
Another significant source of Glory is the end of each Ranked Season. Players who complete at least 10 Ranked matches are awarded Glory at the end of the season. The exact amount you receive at the end of the season is calculated based on two key elements: your Highest Peak Rating and your total Wins. This system is designed to reward both skill and dedication, ensuring that those who climb to the higher ranks and commit to playing regularly receive a higher payout of Glory at the season’s conclusion. Reaching higher Elo ratings and accumulating wins during a Ranked Season becomes a crucial goal if you want to receive more rewards.
Importance of Ranked Play
It is critical to note that Glory can only be obtained by participating in ranked 1v1 or 2v2 matches. No other game mode will contribute to your Glory count. Furthermore, your overall Highest Peak Rating during a season determines the type of Ranked borders and avatars you receive, in addition to your Glory rewards. This adds another layer of incentive to maximize your performance and push your Elo rating as high as possible. This combined approach to Glory is how Brawlhalla rewards both consistency and high-level play.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Glory in Brawlhalla
Here are 15 frequently asked questions to give you a better understanding of Glory in Brawlhalla:
1. What is Elo in Brawlhalla and how does it relate to Glory?
Elo is the rating system used in Brawlhalla’s Ranked modes. It measures your skill level and is used to match you with other players of similar ability. While Elo doesn’t directly translate to Glory, your Highest Peak Rating (your highest achieved Elo) during a Ranked season significantly contributes to how much Glory you earn at the end of the season. Higher peaks lead to higher Glory rewards.
2. Is it possible to buy Glory in Brawlhalla?
No, you cannot buy Glory with real money. Glory can only be earned through participating in Ranked 1v1 and 2v2 matches, either through wins or at the end of the season.
3. Does my Legend’s Elo affect my Glory earnings?
No. While each Legend has their own Elo rating, only your Player Elo matters for Glory rewards. What Legend you use is not considered in the calculation.
4. What does “Highest Peak Rating” mean?
Your Highest Peak Rating refers to the highest Elo you’ve achieved in any of the Ranked queues (1v1, 2v2, or Team) during a Ranked season. This peak rating is a factor in how much Glory you’ll receive at the end of the season. The system rewards you for achieving your highest skill level.
5. What is a good Elo rating in Brawlhalla?
A starting Elo rating for a new player is 1200, placing them in Silver 2. A player with 1200 Elo is considered an average player. Progressing to 1500 Elo and beyond indicates a very strong player. Grandmaster level begins around 2500 Elo, and the top players in the world often reach 2900-3000 Elo.
6. Do I need to complete all placement matches to earn Glory?
While you don’t have to complete all your placement matches to earn Glory, you must play at least 10 ranked matches in any ranked mode during the season to qualify for season-end Glory.
7. Does the opponent’s Elo affect the amount of Glory I receive for a win?
No, the opponent’s Elo does not affect the amount of Glory you receive for an individual win. The Glory gained per win is fixed at 20 (before decreasing after 150 wins) and is not influenced by how high or low your opponent’s rating is. However, winning against a higher-ranked opponent will gain more Elo points towards your overall ranking which does affect season end Glory.
8. Is there a limit to how much Glory I can earn?
There isn’t an explicit limit to the amount of Glory you can earn, but there is a practical limit. The decrease in Glory earned per win after 150 wins makes it progressively more challenging to accumulate it through wins alone. Most of the Glory in your season-end reward comes from your highest peak rating and wins.
9. Does 2v2 Ranked offer the same Glory rewards as 1v1 Ranked?
Yes, both 1v1 and 2v2 ranked matches contribute to your Glory earned. You can play exclusively 2v2 if that suits you and still maximize your Glory, and your peak rating will be determined from your highest 1v1 or 2v2 rating.
10. What can I buy with Glory?
Glory is used to purchase exclusive cosmetic items from the Ranked section of the Mallhalla, such as Skyforged and Goldforged colors, weapon skins, and avatars. These items are only purchasable with Glory.
11. What happens to my Glory between seasons?
Your Glory does not carry over to the next season. The Glory that is rewarded at the end of each Ranked season will be awarded based on your peak rating and win milestones for the just-ended season. You will start a new season with zero Glory accumulated directly.
12. Does playing against higher-ranked players give me more Glory?
No, the rank of your opponent does not change the amount of glory you get for an individual win. You always get 20 Glory until you reach the 150-win mark. However, you gain Elo faster playing against a player with higher rating.
13. What does it mean when I get Skyforged items?
Skyforged items are special cosmetic items available in the Ranked section of the Mallhalla, purchasable with Glory. These are often considered prestigious because of the time and effort that goes into obtaining Glory.
14. Why does Glory per win decrease after 150 wins?
The decrease in Glory per win after 150 wins is designed to encourage players to strive for higher rankings and overall dedication to the Ranked mode. It shifts the focus from solely accumulating wins towards achieving higher ratings and consistently engaging with the ranked queue throughout the season.
15. Can I earn Glory in custom games or other modes?
No, Glory is exclusively earned in Ranked 1v1 and 2v2 modes. No other game modes, including custom games, will contribute to your Glory earnings.
