Frequently Asked Questions

What are the exact rewards that I’ll receive for reaching specific Proficiency Levels?

These certainly won’t make your character hit harder, dealing damage of unseen proportions, but are a nice way to personalize your favorite heroes. Here are all the rewards you’ll receive on specific levels:

  • Level 1 – Beginner: unlock a basic spray and a simple KO prompt;
  • Level 2 – Intermediate: get a second spray and a more dynamic KO prompt;
  • Level 3 – Advanced: earn a third spray, an additional KO prompt, and a basic hero-specific avatar;
  • Level 4 – Expert: unlock another spray, an advanced KO prompt, and an upgraded hero-specific avatar;
  • Level 5 – Master (Lord): achieve the highest proficiency level to receive a unique “Lord Icon” for that hero, an ultimate spray, and the final, most dynamic KO prompt.

Mantis, Moon Knight, Jeff the Land Shark, Loki, Luna Snow, Magik – your favorite heroes will look even more intimidating (maybe not Jeff, though) with these amazing new avatars and cosmetic items!

Will other players see my Lord Icon?

Yes! Once you’ve unlocked the Lord Icon for a hero in Rivals, other players will be able to see it on the scoreboard. It’s a great way to showcase your dedication and skills with your favorite hero. Think of it like a badge of honor.

How do I acquire Proficiency Points?

Oh there’s a whole mumbo-jumbo of different ways and factors in the works, here’s the breakdown:

  • Activities:
    • Playing Matches: simply spending time in gameplay with your hero will gradually increase your PPs. The more you play, the more points you earn;
    • Dealing Damage: the amount of damage you inflict on opponents contributes significantly to your point total. Consistently dealing high damage can speed up your proficiency progress;
    • Securing Knockouts: eliminating enemies plays a crucial role in earning points. Each knockout grants a substantial number of points;
    • Using Abilities: effectively using your hero’s abilities, especially in ways that benefit your team or secure kills, will also add to your PPs;
  • Challenges:
    • Objective-Centric Challenges: complete specific in-game objectives tied to your hero. This could involve capturing points, defending objectives, or assisting teammates;
    • Hero-Specific Tasks: each hero may have unique tasks related to their abilities or playstyle. For example, a hero with a healing ability might have a challenge to heal a certain amount of damage;
    • Timed Goals: spending a set amount of time in matches with a particular hero, or even using specific abilities in a certain number of matches;
  • Performance-Based Rewards:
    • Match Performance: your overall performance in matches—considering factors like your kill/death ratio, assists, and objective contributions—affects the number of points you earn;
    • Winning Matches: Securing victories can earn you bonus points, rewarding you for your overall teamwork and effectiveness.
