The game is now back online for all platforms. Thank you for your patience during this outage.
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.

Due to the unique nature of the Meta, the Team has decided to tone down the RPG asks and make it more approachable for a larger group of players.
Doubling up on the punishment for blocking attacks isn't necessary here, so to streamline the Meta, we'll be removing the Kinetic Transference node in the second half of the Gladiator Circuit.
