Read on to discover everything that is new in Update 4.3:
League Update
Leagues 1 to 9 are each going to have three Sub-Leagues (1 to 3 Stars), while the Legend League will remain unchanged. This means the total number of Leagues (including the Sub-Leagues) will change from 10 to 28.
We have removed the Weekly Rewards, as you will receive Promotion Rewards automatically when you reach a new League level. You will only receive these rewards when you reach a new League level for the first time. Once they have been opened, you will not be able to open them again if you reach the same level a second time. The weekly rewards UI has been changed and now displays how many Trophies you need to earn in order to be promoted to the next League. When you’re in the Legend League, your Leaderboard rank is displayed instead.
Promotion Rewards must be claimed manually, but if any rewards remain unclaimed at the end of the season, they will automatically be sent to the you. Tap on the League icon to display the new Promotion Rewards page.
Please note that League 1.1 does not have any Promotion Rewards, as it is the default League you start in. Season rewards stay the same but have an updated pop-up UI page, and you can switch to check other Leagues’ season rewards. The three Sub-Leagues of each League offer the same season rewards, meaning that if you are in 3.1 or 3.3 at the end of the season, you will be awarded the League 3 season rewards.
We have also added a new “Trophy Progress” page at the end of battle for game modes that support the League.
Guaranteed Crate
This Crate is guaranteed to drop its main reward after being opened a certain number of times. Once you have received the item, it will turn into a normal Crate.
