v1.5 Patch Notes Summary
Here is the full breakdown of what changed in Chaos Battlegrounds v1.5, organized by patch category.
| Change Type | Details | Affected Systems |
|---|---|---|
| New content | New Ultimate-tier character added to store and unlock pool | Store, currency exchange, events |
| Balance | Damage values rebalanced across several top-pick characters | Melee combos, skill bursts |
| Combat feel | Hitbox improvements for melee combo finishers | M1 strings, finishers |
| Mobility | Cooldowns increased on high-usage mobility skills | Dash, gap closers |
| Ultimates | Ultimate meter gain reduced in extended fights | Charge rate in long trades |
| Consistency | M1 combo speed adjustments for several characters | Combo timing |
If your muscle-memory combos feel off after v1.5, it is not your connection — M1 speed adjustments and finisher hitbox changes mean old combo routes may need dash-cancel timing retuned. Practice in a private server first.
How v1.5 Shifts the Tier List
Balance patches always reshuffle the rankings. Based on the v1.5 changes — reduced Ultimate meter gain, longer mobility cooldowns, and finisher hitbox fixes — here is how the tiers look after the patch.
| Tier | Characters | v1.5 Impact |
|---|---|---|
| S | Gojo (Inspired), Early Access Character | Area control still dominates; slower meter gain slightly delays Hollow Purple windows |
| A | Goku (Inspired), Ichigo (Inspired) | Finisher hitbox fixes are a net buff — their M1 strings connect more reliably |
| B | Naruto (Inspired) | Burst remains strong; mobility cooldowns hurt clone setups slightly |
| C | Luffy (Inspired) | Improved finisher hitboxes help, but reach-heavy combos remain dodgeable |
| D | Base Starter Moveset | Still outclassed by every named character |

Adapting to v1.5: Step-by-Step
Follow these steps to re-optimize your play after the v1.5 patch drops.
Relearn Your Combo Timing
M1 speed adjustments change string pacing. Load a private server and run your main's core combo ten times to recalibrate dash-cancel windows.
Retune Ultimate Usage
With meter gain reduced in extended fights, stop charging through long trades. Deal burst damage, disengage, and bank your Ultimate for group fights or guaranteed knockouts.
Respect Mobility Cooldowns
Dash cooldowns are longer in v1.5. Never burn your gap closer to open a fight — save it to escape enemy combo strings or punish a whiffed heavy attack.
Evaluate the New Ultimate Character
Test the new Ultimate-tier addition in practice before committing gold or Robux. Check the store page and our unlock guide for the cheapest route that fits your playtime.
Update Your Block-and-Dodge Reads
Hitbox fixes mean finishers connect more honestly now. Block light attacks, dodge when the enemy activates a skill, and watch for grab breaks on turtling opponents.
Creating a private server from the game's Servers tab is free or low-cost and is the fastest way to lab v1.5 combo changes without interruption.

- Re-time one full combo including dash cancels
- Verify the new Ultimate character's kit in the store
- Redeem all active codes for gold toward unlocks
- Review the post-patch tier list before spending currency
