1. What is the Brawlhalla Elo System?

The Brawlhalla ranking system uses an Elo-based algorithm to determine player skill levels. Your Elo rating changes based on match outcomes against opponents of different skill levels.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Elo formula:

Where:

• \( elo_{old} \) — Your current Elo rating
• \( k \) — Maximum possible adjustment per match (typically 32 in Brawlhalla)
• \( actual \) — Match result (1 for win, 0 for loss)
• \( expected \) — Your predicted win probability (0 to 1)
• \( elo_{new} \) — Your new Elo rating after the match

Explanation: The system adjusts your rating more when you beat stronger opponents or lose to weaker ones.

3. Importance of Elo Calculation

Details: Your Elo determines your rank and matchmaking in Brawlhalla's competitive modes. Understanding how it changes helps track your progress.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current Elo, the K factor (default is 32), match result, and your expected win probability (0.5 is even matchup).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical K factor in Brawlhalla?
A: Brawlhalla typically uses K=32 for ranked matches, meaning the maximum Elo change per match is 32 points.

Q2: How is expected win probability calculated?
A: The game calculates this based on Elo difference. For equal Elo, expected is 0.5 (50% chance to win).

Q3: Why does my Elo change more against certain opponents?
A: Beating higher Elo players gives more points, while losing to lower Elo players loses more points.

Q4: What Elo is needed for each rank?
A: Thresholds vary by season, but generally: Tin (0-899), Bronze (900-1199), Silver (1200-1399), Gold (1400-1699), etc.

Q5: Does this work for teams?
A: The same principle applies, but team Elo calculations may average ratings or use other adjustments.
