Trophy Progression
New Brawler Ranks added

New one time Star Points rewards added
Rank 25 (750 Trophies) - 400 Star Points

Rank 35 (1250 Trophies) - 600 Star Points
The usual 10 tokens rewarded upon reaching each new rank
Players who have already passed these new Rank thresholds are automatically compensated with the Rank, Star Point and Token rewards upon launching the game after updating
Rank shown and rewards given out after the update are based on the Brawler's highest ever reached trophy score (so for example if a Brawler has once reached 750 Trophies before the update but is currently at 500 Trophies the rewards are given based on 750 Trophies)
Shop
End of Season offers
1 Big Box - 500 Star Points
1 Mega Box - 1500 Star Points
Season End Star Point Rewards Rework
Star Point rewards at a season's end are now based on reaching certain Trophy milestones with a Brawler*
Trophies are now reset to a fixed value based on where the Brawler was at the end of the season
The goal with this change is to make Star Points more accessible to more players and to further promote playing multiple different Brawlers during the season
New milestones are visualized in a new UI screen which can be found by tapping the Brawler Rank icon in the Brawler screen when the Brawler has once reached over 500 Trophies
