Gameplay Systems

Developer Comments: There are significant changes to the Champion Mastery Progression system this patch. Players will now unlock their Talents (previously Legendary Cards) through playing their Champions and leveling them up. This design is focused on giving a rewarding progression system to players as they unlock new ways to play their Champions, laying out a clear path to teach them the fundamental systems inside Paladins. We also made major adjustments to Champion Mastery Level experience rates with this is mind. Players will be unlocking more, faster. Much Faster. We don’t want new players to feel like it is a grind to unlock all their talents, but a natural process that comes from playing a Champion. If you’re a current player, don’t worry about not having access to a talent, you will receive all talents regardless of Champion Mastery Levels with the release of OB67!

Legendary Cards and Champion Mastery

• – Legendary Cards have been renamed to “Talents” and will now be unlocked through Champion Mastery System at levels 2, 8, and 12.
  • All Champions will have one default Talent.
  • Players with existing accounts will automatically have all Talents available to them
• – Removed Level 25 Mastery Cap
  • Players have no limit on Champion Mastery Levels
