WHAT IS HUT SYNERGY?
HUT Synergy is a team-building system that challenges you to combine player strengths across your whole lineup. Players are linked by playing style and can be placed anywhere in your lineup, regardless of position. There are two types of Synergies: Player Synergies and Team Synergies. Player Synergies, such as Wingman, will grant a bonus only to players who share this synergy when activated. Team Synergies, such as Wrecking Crew, will grant a bonus to ALL players on the team when activated.
WHAT ARE SETS IN HUT?
Our HUT Sets mechanic returns and takes collecting to a new level by giving value to every item in your collection. Collect and complete Sets by exchanging your items to unlock rewards and special edition player items that you can use to constantly build and improve your team. Players will earn collectibles, coins, packs and elite items depending on which Set you complete. Every item has value, so any item in your collection will benefit the long-term growth of your team.
HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY HUT TEAM?
You can improve your HUT team by opening packs, engaging in Sets or using the Auction House to buy, sell or trade to acquire new players to build your Ultimate Team™. There are a wide range of packs available in Hockey Ultimate Team™. They can be purchased using in-game coins or NHL® 20 Points, or acquired through playing Squad Battles, completing Sets, ranking in Competitive Seasons, completing HUT Challenges or winning Online Season Division Titles.
