Buy Lattice for Marvel Rivals: packs, the Battle Pass and Units for skins
Marvel Rivals is NetEase Games' 6v6 hero shooter built in partnership with Marvel Games, launched on 6 December 2024 across PC (Steam, Epic, NetEase Loading Bay), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no mobile build, and PS4, Xbox One and Switch are unsupported — it is a deliberately current-gen and PC project with destructible environments and Team-Up Abilities. As of 1 May 2026 the live content is Season 7.5 "Tablet of Life and Time", with Season 8 due to launch on 15 May with The Hood as the antagonist. Lattice is the only premium currency you can buy for real money, and through Units it converts into skins, emotes and the Battle Pass.
- Six denominations in the catalogue: 100, 500, 1,000, 2,180, 5,680 and 11,680 Lattice
- 1:1 conversion of Lattice into Units for skins in the in-game store
- Luxury Battle Pass for 990 Lattice, Upgraded Luxury for 2,100 Lattice
- Skin tiers Rare / Epic / Legendary / Mythic at fixed Unit prices, no rolls
- Delivery to the numeric UID on the NA, EU, AS or SA server
Lattice and Units: a one-way conversion that matters
Marvel Rivals runs two linked currencies, and they are easy to confuse. Lattice is what you buy for real money — it is the only thing that activates the Battle Pass and pays for premium bundles. Units is the internal store currency in which every cosmetic is priced. The conversion is strictly one-way at 1:1: Lattice turn into Units, never the other direction. Buy 1,000 Lattice, spend 600 on a Rare recolour and push the leftover 400 into Units for an emote, and those 400 cannot move back to Lattice for the Battle Pass. Experienced players close out Luxury BP first with raw Lattice, then convert the remainder into Units for skins.
The pack ladder and the built-in value bonus
NetEase's official ladder is 100, 500, 1,000, 2,180, 5,680 and 11,680 Lattice. The top three SKUs ship with a preset bonus baked into the pack itself: 2,180 = 2,000 + 180, 5,680 = 5,000 + 680 and 11,680 = 10,000 + 1,680. This value bonus is permanent and applies to every purchase of that SKU, including the tenth one. There is no first-purchase doubler in Marvel Rivals — no one-time x2, no Capturing Radiance. Those are HoYoverse mechanics, not NetEase ones. It pays to grab the denomination that exactly fits the goal — Luxury BP plus a couple of Epic skins, or a single Mythic.
A Battle Pass with no expiry: the unique selling point
Season 7 and 7.5 run on the Tablet of Life and Time Battle Pass: 12 pages and 10 costumes including Rebel Hela, Badlands Lullaby Peni Parker and Dancer Luna Snow. Two paid tiers are available: Luxury at 990 Lattice and Upgraded Luxury at 2,100 Lattice, the latter shipping with 2,800 Chrono Tokens up front and a 20% Chrono Token boost for the rest of the season. The point NetEase highlights in every Dev Talk: the Marvel Rivals Battle Pass does not expire. Buy Luxury once and you can keep grinding it through Season 8 and Season 9 — costumes from past seasons remain claimable. That is a sharp departure from Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends, where the pass burns at season end. The pass returns 600 Lattice over its track, so a player who completes it pays a net cost of around 390 Lattice. Seasons since Season 7 last 8–9 weeks, down from the previous 12.
Skin tiers in Units: from Rare at 600 to Mythic at 3,000+
Skins carry fixed Unit prices and never drop from loot boxes — this is not a gacha game. As of 1 May 2026 the store holds around 423 costumes: ~98 Legendary, ~210 Epic, ~115 Rare and 69 Chroma variants. The rarity tier defines both the price and what you get:
- Rare — 600 Units, a simple recolour of the base look with no new animations.
- Epic — 1,400 Units solo or 1,600 in a bundle. A fully new design (Seasonal Story, Comic Classics) but no new animations.
- Legendary — 2,000 Units. New animations, audio, sometimes VFX, often tied to the MCU and comics — Iron Man Mk85, Spider-Man Symbiote.
- Mythic — 3,000+ Units. The top tier, released sparingly: skin + emote + spray + nameplate + MVP animation in one bundle.
A useful rule of thumb: an average Epic skin costs slightly more than one Luxury BP, and a 2,180 Lattice pack lands either a Legendary costume or Luxury BP plus a Rare recolour on the side.
Costume Coins and Chrono Tokens: event currencies that are not sold for real money
Beyond Lattice and Units, Marvel Rivals carries two special-purpose currencies that often get confused with the premium one. Chrono Tokens are seasonal Battle Pass points: spent inside the Tablet of Life and Time to unlock its rewards, earned through missions and play time. Costume Coins are an event currency that drops from paid event tracks like Pick-Up Bundle, Combat Chest and Venom's Bubble Pop. One Coin lets you pick any costume from the Exchange Store, including past seasonal skins — effectively your shot at a rare old Legendary that is otherwise no longer for sale. The direct 1 Coin = 100 Units swap is intentionally lopsided; players hold their coins for the Exchange Store. Neither Chrono Tokens nor Costume Coins are listed in the Brawl Games catalogue — there is no legitimate way to buy them, only to earn them in-game.
Servers, UID and cross-progression with split ranks
Marvel Rivals runs on four servers: NA, EU, AS and SA. The region is set automatically by IP and the linked platform (Steam, Epic, PSN, Xbox or NetEase ID). The UID is a 10-digit numeric identifier shown in the top-right of the profile and bottom-left of the main menu. Cross-progression works across Steam, Epic, PSN, Xbox and NetEase ID: linking platforms forces you to pick one Primary Character, with the others frozen. PSN linking is one-shot — once an account ties to a PSN ID you cannot relink to a different PSN under Sony's policy, although you can return to the original PSN. The unlink cooldown for any platform is 180 days. Competitive rank stays strictly per platform: Diamond on PC does not become Diamond on Xbox — that is a deliberate balance call for mouse-and-keyboard versus controller, and you grind rank from scratch on each device.
The 14 November 2024 Russian region block and UID delivery as the workaround
Since 14 November 2024 the Marvel Rivals Steam page has been unavailable in the Russian region — NetEase locked it for purchase and installation through Steam. The game itself runs from any IP; the block applies only to the storefront and to top-ups. Visa and Mastercard cards issued in Russia do not clear on pay.neteasegames.com or the GamesClub portal, and direct Lattice purchases through the Xbox or PlayStation Store hit the same regional walls. Players in regions where the official store has limited card support typically install via the NetEase Loading Bay launcher (no regional block on it for now) or through a Steam region change with a VPN. For top-ups the only practical route is third-party services using the numeric UID: hand over the UID, pick a server from NA/EU/AS/SA, and Lattice land on the account without sharing a NetEase ID, Steam, PSN or Xbox login.
Roles, Team-Up Abilities and why Marvel Rivals does not play like Overwatch
The roster sits at 49 heroes as of 1 May 2026, split across three roles: Vanguard (front-line tanks), Duelist (DPS) and Strategist (support healers). The major departure from Overwatch 2 is no role lock: matchmaking does not enforce a 2-2-2 structure, and a team can stack six Duelists or six Strategists. The other signature is Team-Up Abilities — paired heroes unlock shared buffs or combo skills. Hulk + Iron Man, Rocket + Groot, Magneto + Scarlet Witch: each pairing opens a unique mechanic, and in 6v6 that becomes a key part of team-comp meta. At the very top ranks (Eternity and One Above All) rank decay also kicks in — skip competitive for a few weeks and the account drops back to Celestial I.
How to place a Lattice top-up
- Open Marvel Rivals and copy your UID from the profile (top-right) or the main menu (bottom-left).
- Pick a denomination from the catalogue, from 100 up to 11,680 Lattice.
- Enter the UID and select the server (NA / EU / AS / SA).
- Review the data and complete payment.
- Wait for delivery — Lattice appear on the account on the next sign-in.
Other shooter-side titles in the Brawl Games catalogue: VALORANT — Riot Games' tactical 5v5 with VP as the premium currency and EUR gift cards, same "no gacha, no subscription" logic but with no Units layer; Mecha BREAK — Amazing Seasun's mech hero shooter with the same UID-based top-up flow and a NetEase-adjacent market; PUBG Mobile — a shooter audience already used to UID-based UC delivery and to working around regional restrictions.
The Brawl Games catalogue lists all six Lattice denominations — 100, 500, 1,000, 2,180, 5,680 and 11,680 — across the NA, EU, AS and SA servers. Delivery uses the numeric UID, with no Steam, NetEase ID, PSN or Xbox login required; payment is accepted from Russia and the CIS. The on-site chat is available before checkout for questions about a specific denomination or order status.
