    • 10 Grace Points are awarded each time you are promoted within tiers where Grace Points apply.

    • Earn 1 Grace Point for each Ranked Match completed normally.

  • New

    • 12 Grace Points are awarded only upon promotion to Meteorite.

    • Grace Points will be retained after promotion to a higher tier.
