Happy Holidays, Rivals!

In celebration of our triumphant achievement of surpassing 20 million players, we wanted to clarify a few points for all of our who may have questions about our Battle Pass. At this monumental milestone and with Season 1 around the corner, let us expound upon the enduring validity of each Battle Pass and Chrono Token settlement rules.

Luxury Battle Pass

The Luxury Battle Pass, once obtained, shall endure through the ages. Now, let's go over the key tenets of what this means:

. Once you purchase a Luxury Battle Pass, you can continue to redeem its rewards in subsequent seasons. At the upper right corner of any Battle Pass interface, the "NEXUS" button stands as a portal to the Reality Link Point, where Galacta stands sentinel over every Luxury Battle Pass you have acquired, beckoning you to access its bounties at your leisure.
Should you desire to continue unlocking rewards of an earlier Battle pass in any subsequent season, Chrono Tokens must be acquired anew to meet the unlocking conditions of the pages of the previous Battle Pass in the new season. The reason for this is twofold: Firstly, we still recommend and encourage completing the Battle Pass within its designated season; secondly, we hope you will immerse yourselves in the new season's Battle Pass, as each Battle Pass is crafted based on the season's theme. Commencing a new season and embracing its Battle Pass will enrich your understanding of each seasonal saga.
Please note that it is not possible to purchase Luxury Battle Pass from the previous seasons. Once a season draws to a close, the acquisition of its Luxury Battle Pass becomes an unattainable relic, even inaccessible via the Reality Link Point.

Refreshing and Retaining Chrono Tokens at Season's End:

Some players may have noted that the Battle Pass rules mention that at the end of each season, all accumulated Chrono Tokens and their total count will be reset. However, we have seen the discussions within the community that have illuminated a quandary: what happens to the players that already spent Lattice to procure additional Chrono Tokens that have a surplus by season's close? Fear not, for we have devised a plan to from one season to the next. Here's the plan moving forward:

Automatic Item Redemption (Luxury Battle Pass Only): As a season ends, should surplus Chrono Tokens linger and the Battle Pass remain incompletely redeemed, the system shall automatically claim remaining items in the default sequence until there are not enough Chrono Tokens to redeem any further, or all items have been redeemed. At the start of a new season, any automatically redeemed rewards will be issued via the settlement interface of the previous BattlePass. It's still best to manually redeem your items before the season ends, but if you miss any, the system will help minimize any Chrono Token losses.
Chrono Tokens Refresh: After the automatic redemption, any remaining Chrono Tokens will be cleared and your total will be reset to zero.

However, as mentioned above, we're also adding a rule to do our utmost to

- If you've spent Lattice on Chrono Tokens in the current season, and there are still some left after the automatic redemption (no need for automatic redemption if you've already redeemed them all), a portion of them may be kept for the next season.

The specific amount retained will be the lesser of the remaining Chrono Tokens and the total Chrono Tokens you bought with Lattice in the current season.
At the start of the new season, any retained Chrono Tokens will be issued via the settlement interface of the previous BattlePass.
These retained Chrono Tokens in the new season will be treated as being "purchased with Lattice." If they're still around at the end of the following season, they'll continue into subsequent seasons, augmenting the cumulative Chrono Tokens tally and hastening your access to the various pages of the Battle Pass.
Please note that Chrono Tokens obtained by purchasing the upgraded Luxury Battle Pass, or any additional discounted Chrono Tokens obtained via the upgraded Luxury Battle Pass (such as the 1,400 Chrono Tokens in Season 0) shall not be treated as being "purchased with Lattice."

Here are some examples to illustrate the aforementioned retention rules:

Let' s say you spend a total of 1,000 Lattice to secure 1,000 Chrono Tokens in the current season. Then, the season ends, and the automatic item redemption is completed. Here’s what happens after:

· If 500 Chrono Tokens remain, then these 500 Chrono Tokens will be retained for the next season.

· If 1,500 Chrono Tokens remain, then the 1,000 purchased Chrono Tokens will be retained for the next season.

From Season 1, the total Chrono Tokens obtained with Lattice in the current season shall be displayed in the upper right corner.

We hope this clears things up a bit. It's a bit complicated, but we wanted to give you all as much info as possible to address your concerns. Happy Holidays and Ignite the Battle!
