Things aren't looking great, soldier. You’re stranded on Braxis and the UED is overrun. The Omegaswarm has surrounded you on all sides, and your only shot at survival is to press through the onslaught, make it to the extraction point, and get off this forsaken rock. Will you fall victim to the Swarm, or can you work together and Escape from Braxis?

Escape From Braxis is a Brawl in Heroes of the Storm. It's a modified version of Braxis Holdout. It was the first PvE Brawl in the game, the second being Deadman's Stand, and required that requires certain number of games to be won, instead of just playing, in order to earn the reward.

• • Warrior: Artanis, Arthas, Blaze, Johanna, Muradin, Sonya, Tyrael, Varian, Yrel, Zarya

• Player Death:
  • When a Hero dies, they can be resurrected by Allies after a short channel time.
  • If all players die, the mission is failed.
• Players start at Level 10 and have access to their full talents with a few exceptions (i.e. Bribe)
• Enemy zerg Heroes will spawn periodically throughout the brawl and will drop new active items exclusive to Escape from Braxis.
• Push through the onslaught and survive to Escape from Braxis and win the Brawl!
