Battlegrounds Season 29 - UPDATED with Season 30 + 31 METAs
Overview
We had a lot of new things to share last season, including the addition of the Radiance store/rewards and a significant update to the Gladiator Circuit tier structure. We hope you're enjoying it.To see how Summoners engage with it and how our data shakes out, we've decided to keep Season 29 light and simple.
We're entering the Fantastic Force Saga, and with it, a new set of buffs for the Victory Track and Gladiator Circuit will be swapped.
A new emote will enter the contest… It will be a toss-up whether you can catch or toss it! 😉
As a reminder from our last Battlegrounds Season 29 post, we're removing the Battlegrounds Solo Event moving forward due to the new reward structure.
And wait… why are Season 30 and 31 buff metas being leaked? It could be because special rewards may be coming for the top summoners in these seasons, so we wanted to give you a look ahead to start your roster strategizing now.

Re: NEW Battegrounds format for the 90000th time
I'm at Gamma III, my best rank so far. I usually just play 3 matches on GC and stop.Ngl, the screenshots make it easy to see why you're struggling in BGs.No photo no talkShow us your battlegrounds deck so we know what's your true intentionsI'm a Valiant player, my deck is what you expect it to be. Some disgusting champs and some likeable ones.
Just do it!! Thank you everybody!
Liiiisten. After 10 years. 3 accounts. 1 hacked by ex (iykyk) (Darth Poolious). 1 hacked while traveling, (I.M. Weasel). And now my final account, Cuddles. After 150k+ dollars spent on this game (I know but tbqh I never had any other addictions and never missed rent or went hungry so no shame). Ups and downs. FTP fun accnts. TONS of awesome streamers who MADE this game successful, (Seatin being my first but Rich/Vega/Proff/KT1/Noob/Lags all right behind) Ive finally decided that the game is just too much for an old man (35m) and this new war and the sheer mass of expectations and time invested (time being the key factor here) are too high for something i can literaly be banned for selling even though ive invested well over a home worth of money into it. (You pay to borrow their digital property i suppose) Anyway. After all this. Its over. And I dont want to be an im quitting because person. Because thats not what this is. This is a thank you. Thank you to DNA3000 for always chiming in constructively. Thank ypu to the new players keeping it alive. Spenders keeping it profitable. FTP for showing it can be fun and free (vwry doable now unlike in years past) and a MASSIVE thank you to the friends ive made. They guys n gals who helped me survive 10 years of an admittedly wretched over worked and lonely 10 years. And ya. Thanks kabam for making one of the end all best mobile gatcha games ever created. Enhancing my love for something that molded me as a child and young adult. For the community. The competition (NYCC crystal prizes were amazing to get). And the amazing depth and challenge in your characters (seriously the only thing to keep me as competitive as mtg) Anyway. Thank you. And yes. Thank you trolls. Enjoy one last post to dislike. And thanks for being inclusive kabam. Its good to see ally companies still standing for peoples right to simply be. Now for the just do it! Thor and Cap need some lovin right? Take a month and toss us those sweet sweet End game versions. The players have waited long enough. The Thor Abides and Cap needs to rain thunder down on some baddies once again in MCOC. Signing off. Much love! -Cuddles

Re: how to get t4 alpha x 3 and become valiant faster.
The fastest way to become valiant is do a single path of epoch. It is very difficult and will be very costly if you're not too skilled at the game, but it is the fastest way.

Small correction:
- Getting to Uru V gets 31,250 Radiance
- 5 T4A costs 32,501 Radiance (I forgot to factor in the increase in cost per purchase)
Unrelated question:
My current GC rating/score is 73, which puts me in Uru V. If I lose matches, would I fall back to Uru VI?

Small correction:Yes, most likely. You can check the cut off score by going to uru 5 and seeing what last place is.
