As revealed in the last Twitch livestream we will shortly be adding a new feature to the leveling system: Honour Ranks.
For those of you who didn’t catch the live stream, here’s a quick summary:
The current maximum rank is 71, but this will now be increased to 80. Each level gained from 71 to 80 will give out a plasma or coins reward (full details on amounts later). Upon reaching level 80 you will receive the title of Chapter Master, and beyond that, the new Honour Ranks will come into play. Your old numbered rank icon will be replaced with a new Honour Rank icon, and by achieving a set amount of experience you will continue to earn alternating drops of coins and plasma. This is an unlimited feature, so as you continue to earn experience, you will continue to earn currency.
So why did we want to do this?
First of all, we were keen to give something back to some of our longest serving and most committed players. It’s been a long time since we’ve touched the level cap, and a lot of players now have a large amount of banked experience. We wanted to do something with that whilst also providing a goal for the players not yet there.
Second, with there previously being no clear use for experience for max level players, it’s a good way to make objectives meaningful again and inject some challenge and variety back into the game. Making objectives more rewarding should allow top players to stretch themselves a bit more in trying out new builds and strategies.
Thirdly, it’s about giving players more freedom with upgrading cards. By providing players with more coins, and making the experience gained from upgrading cards useful to players, we want to establish a more positive upgrade cycle. Players will now be able to upgrade their cards more freely and be rewarded for doing so.
Overall, I think it’s an important piece of the puzzle that has been missing from the end game and should be a rewarding and engaging feature without drastically changing the core game itself.
So what’s it going to look like?
Let’s start with the new ranks from 71-80. There’s nothing too drastic here, other than currency being given out when reaching one of these ranks.
The full table for these ranks is as follows:
| Level | XP Required | Reward | Type |
| 72 | 425 | 250 | Coins |
| 73 | 515 | 100 | Plasma |
| 74 | 605 | 360 | Coins |
| 75 | 695 | 140 | Plasma |
| 76 | 785 | 470 | Coins |
| 77 | 875 | 175 | Plasma |
| 78 | 965 | 580 | Coins |
| 79 | 1055 | 210 | Plasma |
| 80 | 1145 | 690 | Coins |
Once reaching rank 80, you can then start attaining Honour ranks. Here’s a sneak peek of how this will look:
Each Honour Rank will require 1250xp and awards either 750 coins or 250 plasma, with the first reward being plasma.
From a more interactive point of view, your level icon and player profile will both adjust to match this:
For bragging rights, the number of times you’ve achieved an Honour Rank is recorded on your player profile, and will be visible when anyone inspects you through a clan.
It was really important to us that all the banked experience held by players was put to good use, so when this feature is released (next Wednesday all going well), all experience will be carried over into the new ranks. So those of you who are sitting on a pile of experience at rank 71 can expect a big one-time give out of currency, with some players hitting more than 1 Honour Rank when the feature goes live.
This is the first of a few quality of life features we are really excited to be adding to the game. Whilst this first feature is catered to players in the end-game, the introduction of Trait Rank 4 (and moving traits earlier as a result) and the new improved Card Shop will mean that players at all stages of the game will see an increase in features to improve their experience and enjoyment!

Wow, very impressed. First time I have seen a Online CCG has make a balanced, fair and just decision like this. You have nothing but praise from me. Well done.
Honour Ranks sound great and a welcome reward for experienced players as it was a bit frustrating having reached the level cap!
Great idea
Awesome
Just new to the game. Which is a fun game. But takes so long to catch up with everyone else.
Hell yeah, exatly what we need ❤️
Thank you guys for going beyond 71. I’ve been there for a while now.
Excellent!!!!
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
I LOVE your game, as you can see if you have the means to see all my activity, and spending of real money, lol.
I am so looking forward to this new addition to the game!
Wow, I really like this. I love the objectives and have been playing them even after hitting 71. It is nice that it will be useful going forward. Very glad you found a useful solution. Any more deck points between 71 and 80? It would be nice to be able to use more bigger cards together.
Now if you would just add more filters to our card collection and deck building it would really help. Especially since you guys are good about doing balances passes a way to find something like the highest melee Aledari cards, or the Ultramarines with this most HP would be SUPER useful.
Thanks for he great work!
will there be different honor names for other factions
Nice idea lads! And, it’s my birthday today, so can I please have a Gregor? Thanks in advance!
So for any player not at rank 71, they will now have to face completely unbeatable decks? A small number of elite players being rewarded over the greater player pool.
Looks good…let’s see how goes
go for it
Lord of change needs to go back to
The way it originally was before the nerf. It’s a chaos lord and it’s weak as hell even with upgrades. Please fix
Sounds good. Is there going to be an Alliance based competition or activity that gives members more reason to stay in one Alliance giving better unity. Rather that people swapping around to change their dedication cards, or nm ot caring because they are happy with any cards. Something like Alliance based rewards on how well they did in the events.
Another great update as the game was beginning to stagnate. Keep up the sterling work!
This is obviously great for top level players but middle to low ranks have suffered heavily. Decks in opposition are now so powerful that there’s only a small chance of the AI being beatable. There are already too many overpowered cards in the game.
When does this update come?
I had over 3000 xp banked after reaching level 71. I just logged back into the game following this announcement, eager to see what level I was now at and to see what plasma and coin rewards I had received. However, I am still level 71 and only show as having 425 xp. How is this ‘giving something back to some of our longest serving and most committed players’ ? You’ve just taken away all the extra xp I’ve earned and given nothing in return. This sucks.
So what happened to all my XP? I have been at 71 for quite a while and I had 7460 XP saved up. Now I’m at 0/1250 or so. I just don’t see the changes about honor ranks. Or do I start over and everything is just a loss? Because I don’t see my XP helping me move forward. It’s just gone.
