Marvel Rivals Guide: How to Use Units, Lattice, and Microtransactions

Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play title that immerses players in the Marvel Universe with an extensive roster of heroes. While the game doesn’t require purchases to enjoy, microtransactions can significantly impact how quickly you progress and the rewards you can unlock.

Here’s an in-depth look at the game’s currencies and how to maximize their use.

Key Currencies in Marvel Rivals

The game uses three types of currencies, each with unique functions:

1. Units

• Purpose: Units are the primary in-game currency used to purchase items, skins, and other customizations.
• How to Obtain: You can earn Units through gameplay by completing missions, achievements, and occasionally from drops or as part of the battle pass. Units can also be converted from premium currency (Lattice).

2. Lattice

• Purpose: Lattice is Marvel Rivals’ premium currency, essential for unlocking exclusive items, skins, and the Luxury Battle Pass.
• How to Obtain: Lattice can be purchased through the in-game shop or occasionally earned via the battle pass.
• Usage Note: To purchase most items, you must convert Lattice into other currencies at checkout.

3. Chrono Tokens

• Purpose: Chrono Tokens are primarily used to redeem rewards in the battle pass system.
• How to Obtain: Earn these through completing missions, achievements, game promotions, or by converting Lattice.

Lattice: Unlocking Premium Content

Lattice is the cornerstone of Marvel Rivals’ economy, offering access to high-tier rewards. While Units and Chrono Tokens are earnable through gameplay, Lattice is generally acquired via purchase.

Lattice Pricing

Here are the current costs of Lattice bundles:

Using Lattice Effectively

• Battle Pass Access: The Luxury Battle Pass is available for 490 Lattice (base version) or 1,050 Lattice with bonus levels. This pass includes exclusive items and additional rewards.
• Item Purchases: Skins and premium content require converting Lattice into other currencies. This step is prompted during the purchase process.
• Bulk Buying: Purchasing larger Lattice bundles provides better value, especially for long-term players.

Maximizing Rewards Without Spending

While microtransactions enhance your Marvel Rivals experience, strategic gameplay can help you enjoy the game without paying. Here are some tips:

• Complete Achievements and Missions: These are the primary ways to earn Units and Chrono Tokens for free.
• Monitor Promotions: Keep an eye on special events or game promotions that may reward you with extra currencies or discounts.
• Focus on Conversion: Use Lattice strategically to unlock Chrono Tokens or additional Units when needed.
