Undying Hero, the axe and firearm fighter
Undying Hero, which the community nicknamed Zombie Man, is a close range character built around axe strikes and firearms. It shipped as an Early Access character, meaning it is available before its full release while the developer keeps tuning it, so treat its kit as still being worked on rather than final.
Character Creator V1
The update rebuilt the Character Creator from the ground up, letting players mix base moves and ultimate moves taken from different existing characters into a custom fighter. GAMES.GG describes the creative ceiling here as high, since the combination pool spans the whole roster's base and ultimate movesets, not just a small preset list.
3v3 Elo ranked and new emotes
The Cosmic Update also added a 3v3 Elo system with global matchmaking, giving team based ranked play a proper rating system for the first time, alongside more than 37 new emotes and quality of life additions like emote skipping and previewing an emote before you buy it.
Why this matters for a game this size
The Strongest Battlegrounds has passed 19 billion visits as of September 2026, according to live Roblox stats, making it one of the platform's biggest fighting games. An update this size, a new character, a rebuilt creator system and a real ranked mode, lands in front of an audience that large, so expect the Meta and S tier picks on our tier list to shift again as more players learn Undying Hero and the new creator system settles.
