New changes to League requirements!

The League requirements for PVP Season 9 are now more clear and easier to attain. Instead of the percentage-based system of previous tournaments, the target rating to qualify for each league is now fixed at the start of the tournament. Higher Leagues also require fewer attacks, so people with busier schedules can also have a shot at taking the top spots.

The new League requirements are as follows:

• Silver League
  • Requires 1 fight
  • No minimum rating
• Gold League
  • Requires 10 attacks
  • Rating of 900 or better
• Diamond League
  • Requires 20 attacks
  • Rating of 1050 or better
• Vibranium League
  • Requires 35 attacks
  • Rating of 1250 or better
• Adamantium League
  • Requires 50 attacks
  • Rating of 1550 or better

'New PVP Bonus Objective: Build the Shepherd’s Staff'

• After your first tournament fight you should get a new task chain to make the Shepherd's Staff
• The first task requires the agent to collect:
  • 125 Gold Nuggets
  • 5 Caducites
  • 5 Seraphim Feathers
• The agent is awarded 1 Gold Nugget per win for the first five wins each day
  • These take the place of the Lockboxes won during Season 8
• You can get 1 Gold nugget, 1 Caducite, or 1 Seraphim Feather from the daily spin
• These items are also power-ups that can be used in battle, in case you have extras
  • Gold Nuggets restore Health and Stamina to all allies
  • Caducites give Rising Up (random chance at Strengthened, Agile, Focused, Fortified) and an extra turn
  • Seraphim Feathers give Favor of the Seraphim to the entire team, restoring health over time and reducing damage taken from damage over time effects
• These can be purchased in the store
• After collecting the required materials, a second quest is unlocked for the agent to research the Shepherd’s Staff
• One Shepherd’s Staff is awarded to the agent once this research is completed
