Rumble on!

New Legend Rumbler: Sly Fox

Sly Fox becomes invisible to opponents while holding the ball. The effect breaks when he kicks the ball or takes damage.

Available from Zen Palace Division I and onward.

New Trophy System

Rumblers' Trophies will be either green or golden. The green colour will be for Rumblers that have a low amount of Trophies compared to others. Golden Trophies are for all other Rumblers.

Opponent's Line-up Trophies will no longer affect the final score of a match

Final scores will be affected by the difference in Total Trophies, and green Trophy bonus. This bonus is applied also to decrease the impact of losses.

Special Events

A weekly game mode, with a custom line-up, and a special Event Chest for the winners!

The first even will start on Friday February 29th at 12pm EET, and will last until the same time on Monday March 4th.

  • Fetch button is removed
  • Goalie can no longer be pushed inside the goal
  • Respawn time reduced from 12 seconds to 10
  • Goalie stamina can now regenerate to full and regeneration speed is decreased by 58%
  • Team's comment: we want players to be more involved in guarding their goal and sometimes the Goalie was too strong compared to some Rumblers
• Stomparoo
  • Her jump's max distance was reduced by 10%
  • Team's comment: this will reduce across field jumps happening with moving ball.

  • Its explosion damage has been increased by 10%
  • Its explosion damage of Small Bomba has been increased by 11%
  • Its movement speed of Small Bomba has been increased by 19%
  • Team's comment: this was a much needed balance change overall.
• Bomber Hen
  • Her mass has been increased by 13%
  • Her sling damage has been increased by 25%
  • Team's comment: we made her a bit more powerful when compared to Cannonman.
• Turtle Spinner
  • Her homing ability has been decreased by 20%
  • Team's comment: this sometimes created weird situations that we wanted to appear less often.
• Leeches
  • They now target the nearest Rumbler
  • Team's comment: they won't now change targets after latching on, as it makes more tactical sense
• Mine
  • It doesn't stun your own Rumblers anymore
  • Its stun duration is now dependent on level (3s stun at equal levels)
  • Team's comment: Mine can now be used better than before in defensive situations.
• Bouncer Bear
  • He has been moved to be available from Greenfield - Division I. Cannonman will replace Bouncer Bear in the starter lineup. Don’t worry if you already got it, you get to keep it!
  • Team's comment: Cannon took his place in the first lineup because he's easier to learn (visually and functionally) when seen first time.
• Molotov
  • Its burning effect now lasts for a while, even after Rumblers leave the lava-field
  • Blaze duration lowered from 20 seconds to 18
  • Team's comment: we just wanted to make it more useful as a Rumbler.
• Sniper Wolf
  • Its energy cost has been increased to 5
• Striker Tiger
  • Her energy cost has been decreased to 4
  • Team's comment (for the 2 changes above): Wolf is really strong on its own compared to Tiger and Tanuki, so her cost has been balanced to reflect that
• Lover
  • Its effect range has been decreased by 14%
  • Team's comment: it was a bit too strong, so the distance was reduced to balance it out.
• Fan
  • Its push force has been lowered by 6%
  • Team's comment: The power was really strong on high levels so had to be balanced a bit.
