Progress Linearly
In order to level up any trooper, you will need to play that unit and earn Skill Points through a combination of successful gameplay and time played. Then use those Skill Points to unlock that units Star Cards of your choosing. There is no longer a lottery where you have to acquire Crates.
Star Cards
When you level up a unit you'll earn Skill Points. Skill Points are unit-specific and can be used to unlock a Star Card at common level, or to upgrade an existing Star Card.
BATTLE POINTS REMAIN THE SAME
Earn Battle Points for everything you do in combat. Spend them between respawns to call in reinforcements, like vehicles and powerful special characters. Use them to become a hero in ground combat or pilot a Hero Ship in Starfighter Assault. Here are a few examples of how you can earn Battle Points.
DESTROY ENEMIES
Gain the advantage when you take down foes.
PROTECT YOUR TEAM
In some situations, you'll earn Battle Points for protecting and supporting your squad.
SUPPORT ALLIES
Buffing fellow teammates is also a great way to earn Battle Points.
COMPLETE OBJECTIVES
As always, playing to objective is the best way to earn Battle Points. And it helps your team to win the match!
