  • Marvel Rivals Guide How to Earn Units
    gamingbolt.com
    There are three currencies in Marvel Rivals: purple Chrono Tokens, blue Units, and gold Lattice. Units are the currency used to purchase microtransactions, whether skins, cosmetics, or bundles, in the game. Acquiring these Units for free is a matter of grinding for other currencies.This guide outlines every possible way to get a hold of Units in Marvel Rivals.Achievements ProgressionThe Marvel Rivals Achievements tab is buried in the Career section or player profile page. These Achievements are not to be confused with Steam or Xbox Achievements. These can be accomplished over the course of many days and matches. Completion of these Achievements confers 100 Units at regular intervals.A total of 800 Units stand to be earned from the current Heroic Journey milestones, though it remains to be seen if this refreshes over seasons.Season EventsSeason Events can be found on a separate page under the Missions tab in the Season section. Rotating over the course of seasons, these tasks reward 60 Units for completion.Battle Pass ProgressionAs you progress through the Battle Pass using Chrono Tokens either earned from completing dailies and challenges or converted from Lattice, there will be some pages that reward you with Units at the cost of 200 Chrono Tokens per individual unlock. In the ongoing season, there are 300 Units to be earned, though this should be raised to 600 in future seasons.Currency ConversionAs a premium, paid-for currency, Lattice itself can also be converted to Units at a 1:1 conversion rate. This is far more economical than the conversion sequence of 200 Lattice to 200 Chrono Tokens to unlock just 100 Units in the Battle Pass. So any Lattice unlocked from the Battle Pass is best converted directly into Units for maximum value, except for one very specific case scenario.If there is a bonus conversion rate scheme like 1:2.5 on offer for Lattice to Chrono Tokens, you will get much more bang for your buck. Those bonus Chrono Tokens can then be put toward unlocking further free Units from the Battle Pass, but only if any actually remain to be gained. This is possible through purchase of the accelerated Luxury Battle Pass.That is every possible way to grind for Units in Marvel Rivals.

  • Marvel Rivals Guide How to Get XP Quickly
    gamingbolt.com
    Marvel Rivals has a leveling system in place which also serves to impede player access to Competitive Play and its ongoing season. New players will have to grind their way to rank 10 before they can even access ranked play and its ladder. And that is just player account XP the Battle Pass has its own distinct progression system.This guide is everything there is to know about earning both account and Battle Pass progression in order to rank up quickly and efficiently in Marvel Rivals.Quick Play For Rank XPThe simplest of modes to hop right into, Quick Play will match you up with players of all skill levels. Aside from a team victory, your personal performance will earn you XP towards your account rank. Everything from kills to assists to being MVP can increase your XP per match.Kills are clearly the largest contributor towards account rank XP gains.Chrono Tokens And The Battle PassMarvel Rivals Battle Pass progression is unusual in that it does not level up through merely playing and winning matches, but specifically through the completion of daily missions, as well as challenges and events that are released at regular intervals.These tasks tend to be of the hero-specific variety, that incentivize the use of certain skills and abilities. Some of these can be tedious as they require pre-conditions to exist in the arena, such as the use of a Team-Up ability where another random player would have to be a specific hero in order to perform. Successful completion of the dailies, challenges, and events rewards you with purple Chrono Tokens.Dailies confer 30 of these tokens each, with four becoming available everyday for 48 hours, for a total of 120 Chrono Tokens each day.Challenges drop less regularly, are more involved, and only reward you with 80 Chrono Tokens each.Season Events can earn you 100 Chrono Tokens each, while rotating over the course of entire seasons.Both Dailies and Challenges offer up to three refreshes each, if the options on offer are unsatisfactory, and each of those refresh attempts are reset 24 hours after initial use.Fortunately, many of these tasks can be completed in practice matches versus AI. All three of these mission types can be tracked from the Missions tab in the Season section, but only outside of matches.The Achievements tab (not to be confused with Steam or Xbox Achievements) is buried deep elsewhere, in the Career section or player profile page. Here you will find multiple tracks, two of which (Galactas Guide and Rivalry Rising) have non-rotating tasks that can unlock 200 Chrono Tokens each, and can only be completed in true PvP modes for the most part, unless specified.These Chrono Tokens can then be spent on unlocking pages in the Battle Pass.Additionally, any gold Lattice either purchased or unlocked through the Battle Pass can be converted into Chrono Tokens at a 1:1 conversion rate. With 300 in the ongoing season, and 600 in future passes, Lattice currency conversions can go a long way towards gaining the Chrono Tokens needed for Battle Pass completion. Since Lattice does not expire, the most optimal practice is to make use of promotional schemes that convert Lattice to Chrono Tokens at a more advantageous ratio, as high as 1:2.5, with a percentage-based acquisition bonus on top. This is possible through purchase of the accelerated Luxury Battle Pass.That is everything there is to know about grinding XP to level both account rank and the Battle Pass in Marvel Rivals.
