Ubisoft has been adding new Legends to its free-to-play, brawler ever since the game was released back in 2017. Continuing the trend, a brand new Legend Onyx has been released for the game and is now part of Brawlhalla’s ever-growing roster. Onyx is the 49th Legend to arrive in Brawlhalla and she comes prepared with gauntlets and Cannon.
According to the official press release, Ubisoft details the story of Onyx as:
Onyx escaped from the Infernal Realm, finding herself in a mysterious castle when she finally emerged from the pit. Desperate to hide herself from would-be captors, she soon discovered the secret to her salvation: binding herself to the stone of the castle. Onyx then pledged service to the great fortress. For hundreds of years, Onyx acted as the Guardian and Protector of Castle Batavia until one fateful day when the castle finally fell. In the midst of the legendary Siege of Lions, the commander of the assailants showed her the depravity of the mad king she defended. Onyx knew she had to let the castle fall even if it meant her own return to the Abyss. One of the many Valkyries above the battlefield, seeing her sacrifice, swooped in just ahead of the demons and offered her a place in Valhalla.

Onyx comes with six signature attacks. You can check out their details below:
- Cannon Signatures
- Side Signature – After a big forward swing of her tail, Onyx shoots a blast of energy forward.
- Neutral Signature – Onyx grabs the cannon with her tail and shoots a huge blast of energy diagonally upwards.
- Down Signature – Onyx quickly turns to stone, then explodes out of the stone armor with her wings, tail, and cannon.
- Gauntlets Signatures
- Side Signature – Onyx uses her wings to float about the ground, then swipe her claws into the ground to launch her opponents.
- Neutral Signature – Onyx uses her wings to fly up diagonally and swipe with her big claw.
- Down Signature – She slams the ground, making huge shards of rocks come up, then follows up with a big tail swipe.
Along with the new Legend, Ubisoft has also released the Cannon update which brings major changes to three attacks in the game:
- Side Light – This big swing had its movement and arc of the weapon swing both changed.
- Neutral Light – Instead of thrusting the cannon forward, this attack now has a forward blast that is followed up with a spin and second blast on hit.
- Down Air – This attack now shoots a blast instead of swinging the weapon. It shoots diagonally downward and splashes off of the ground.
Previous Legends to arrive in Brawlhalla include Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, Volkov the Vampire King and Hellboy franchise characters.
