Campaign progression was introduced with version 21.0 of The Contest and has expanded to cover different milestones of progress (with more to come!). These tiers, also known as milestones, are earned by completing the associated story quest points associated with each. Each tier includes cool new perks like summoner titles, special crystals, more valuable crystals, unique quests, special offers, and login calendar rewards.

Purposeful Progression
The campaign-progression system is our strategic way of acknowledging Summoners' achievements and gives us a framework to provide events, rewards, and offers aimed at their gameplay goals. All Summoners are not the same, but we have observed that players of similar story-quest progress tend to need/want the same things out of The Contest.
The campaign-progression system allows us to make event-quest difficulties that would be far too challenging for a newer player, but are perfectly suited for other players. This system also allows us to aim rewards and offers at not just what players want, but what they need to continue their journey in the game. For beginner campaign players, this can mean getting items to help you directly (like resources for ranking up your 3- and 4-star Champions), which will help you progress to the next campaign milestone. For our higher campaign players, this means not having to repeatedly earn increasingly less useful items (like lower-tier catalysts when you are working towards ranking up your 5-star Champions), but rather earning more valuable items designed to aid you in tackling our end-game content.
Campaign Perks
By progressing to the level of Contender, various perks, crystals, quests, and offers are unlocked. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Improved monthly login calendar: progression rewards players with more and more premium rewards each month.
- Improved weekly login calendar: the crystal shards reward from this calendar change from Premium Hero Crystal Shards to Grandmaster Crystal Shards once players reach Uncollected.
- Daily, Free (4-hour), Arena, and Gold Crystal upgrades: as players achieve further milestones in the story campaign, these crystals include greater rewards in larger quantities.
- Reduced Premium Hero Crystal cost: progression reduces the Unit cost for these Champion crystals.
- Access to special crystals and unique offers: these crystals and offers yield higher-value rewards and resources that will help players progress even further!
- Summoner’s Sigil improvements: as players progress, so do the perks associated with the subscription-based Summoner’s Sigil.
- New event quest difficulties: once players become Uncollected and then Cavalier, access is granted to additional difficulties in the monthly event quest, including some extremely difficult challenges and bountiful rewards!
