Champions

Champion mastery and skill trees

Implemented progression

Champion levels unlock health, armor, Strike improvements and two mutually exclusive power paths.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Earn mastery for the champion through eligible play.
  2. Inspect each milestone before applying a choice.
  3. Choose one of the mutually exclusive power paths when a path decision opens.
  4. Use the resulting health, armor, Strike and identity-power values only in formats that allow progression.

Rules this mechanic controls

  • Mastery belongs to the champion and rises through earned play.
  • Milestones improve maximum health, starting armor or Champion Strike.
  • A skill path changes the champion's existing power rather than replacing the core rules.
  • Online fairness rules can normalize progression where a format requires equal combat strength.

Worked example

At a path milestone, a player chooses the branch that modifies the champion's existing power. That choice does not rewrite general combat rules. A normalized competitive format may temporarily use equalized values while preserving the account's earned mastery outside that queue.
