Conquest Medal Shop

• The December 2023 Conquest reward is the Thor Hellfire Gala variant, obtained by purchasing 9 items from the Medal Shop.
• Make sure to spend them all on the Medal Shop before the season ends! If you have leftover Medals at the end of the season, each Medal will be worth 0.15 Boosters for a random card. Example: 100 Medals will convert to 15 Boosters.

Ranked Seasonal Rewards

• Players can climb the Marvel Snap ladder by winning Cubes from games. Every 7 Cubes increase the rank, and every 10 ranks is a new tier of rewards. Players cannot go below rank 100 once they reach the Infinite rank.
• For each new season, the following reset is performed for players who were under Rank 100:
  • Deduct 30 ranks from player’s last rank in the previous season
  • Round down to the closest integer divisible by 5
  • Add 3 bonus ranks
• To obtain the seasonal rewards retroactively, players must play 10 games. For example, if you started the season in Diamond (rank 60), you will earn all rewards from Recruit to Diamond (rank 1 to 60) after playing 10 games in the current season.

Season Pass Rewards

Players need 1000 Season Pass XP per level of the Season Pass. Most of the XP is obtained through Season Pass Missions and the following formula for a bit of extra. This allows players to progress past the main rewards at Level 50 towards the Season Cache:

• 1 XP for each turn played in a match
• 10 XP for each location won in a match
• 50 XP for each Hard Daily Mission

Season Pass Missions

Season Pass Missions are divided into Chapters, one per week. Each Chapter has 7 Missions, and a Challenge that grants additional XP when all Missions are completed. Each Chapter rewards a variable amount of Season XP, between 8000 and 9000.

When the season starts, Chapter 1 of the Season Pass Missions opens with 4 available missions. Then every 24 hours, a new mission unlocks. Every week, a new chapter unlocks with 4 missions until the end of the season.
