How does your experience in a fighting game start? Sure, a beginner should understand some simple mechanics with a basic tutorial. And then, everyone faces an exciting moment of choosing a character. In Brawlhalla it’s not the easiest decision.

The game has 56+ Legends in its roster. With such a choice, it’s easy to get confused. Still, this step is immensely important. With the right character, you enjoy the fighting matches more and get overall better results. The difficulty here is not only the number of Legends but also the lack of a universally “right character” — you need to find your personal best partner in crime.

There are no issues when you start with a free version of Brawlhalla. The game offers a few free characters, so players don’t have any difficult choices. Pick up any available Legend and dive into the fight. On the other hand, this rotation prevents you from practicing one fighter on a regular basis and developing your skills with them. Sooner or later, one character should be chosen. Who?

Here are some tips on how to find your Legend in Brawlhalla and get the max from this awesome game.


Relax and enjoy

This tip might seem vague and too general, but hear me out — start with a lighthearted approach to reach much better results.

It’s a good idea for any fighting game to try to feel the ground and find your way to the competitive glory (or just fun matches). If you set high goals from the very beginning, they become your burden. You are focused on the result, not on the process. And you miss an essential point — having fun playing is the best recipe for growing pro-like skills.

Brawlhalla is full of joy. In addition to getting used to its universal mechanics, you have a chance to try out Legends. Just messing with them is enough to understand what weapon is better for your personal fighting style.


Let yourself experiment

When you want to find your perfect Legend in Brawlhalla, you should be ready to try each character in the roster.

There are two general methods for expanding your basic knowledge of the Brawlhalla roster:

• Play Legends from the free rotation, earn Gold through your login bonus, purchase characters for internal currency to keep your focus on them — until you have enough Gold for the next Legend;
• Buy Brawlhalla All Legends Pack, play random characters you like for any reason, develop them to a specific level (at least 5th), and then repeat the process with other characters.

For the purpose of finding your Legend, the first, free method seems to be quite effective. It gives a very clear system of progression. It motivates you to login and practice daily. It makes each new unlocked character an achievement you want to experiment with.

If you have all the Brawlhalla Legends purchased, you need a bit more self-organization skills not to get stuck with one character and ignore all the others. Your abilities as a Brawlhalla player might shine much brighter with someone you never take to the fights.


Distinguish your favorites

It’s natural to feel who you like more among the roster. And it’s natural to want to play those Legends often. Do not deny yourself this pleasure as thus you take a step in the right direction.

Return to specific characters periodically but keep your personal rotation moving. The roster is big, and the Legends feel really different from each other. Even if they have identical weapons, they use them very differently in signature moves.


Take a step back

Playing many Legends one after another might create kind of a mess in your head. You need to take a deep breath and analyze your experience.

Who do you like playing more? Who brings you better results?

This is a moment when no one really can give you any advice. The decisions should be yours.

A perfect variant is someone you like visually (as a personality), someone you enjoy controlling during the matches, and someone who brings you sweet victories.


Time to get focused

Most pro players have one main character in Brawlhalla and 1-2-3 additional picks to deal with difficult matchups. Copy this pattern for yourself.

To really get food with a Legend, practice with them a lot. Visit the training ground regularly to grow your muscle memory for combos and look for fresh fighting ideas. Play casuals to have some space for brave experiments with no additional pressure. Prove yourself in ranking matches to test your character choice in real action.

Keep this process going for quite a while.


Reconsider

No, it’s not weird to think about changing your character after so much effort. The game should be fun, remember? If you suddenly feel like playing someone else — do this. Even after a period of playing one character, you might still be in the search for your perfect Legend.

Also, your skill should significantly grow at this moment. A character you couldn’t be effective with earlier might give your new, trickier tools to destroy your opponent.

Even if you eventually decide to keep your current Legend as main, this reconsideration is crucial — to keep yourself interested in the game and not get stuck in your progress.


And to end the article, let’s ruin everything it says. Sometimes, you need to do nothing to find your Legend. Sometimes you love a character at first sight, and you remain with them forever and ever. In Brawlhalla, it might totally happen with crossover skins — you just want to play Finn from Adventure Time or Po from Kung-Fu Panda, so other choices become impossible.

Go for it! And still, don’t ignore our advice entirely. Liking someone in a cartoon is one thing but being comfortable with their fighting movesets is absolutely different. Take this journey, and you might find yourself with that very crossover Legend you adore so much. And if not — you will definitely find someone even better for your ideal Brawlhalla experience.​
