Grade Qualities and Levels

Gradesare determined by the number of points in progression (Pips) the player obtains in a Ranking Season. Depending on the player’s performance during Ranked Trials, Pips can be lost, gained, or kept at their current number.

On the 13th of every month, players have a grade reset, which comes with a reward. Becausegradesnever go down, getting a good reward from a grade reset is about consistency. If you keep playing, you’ll get to a grade that gives more Bloodpoints, even if you’re usually bad.
