Meta Progression with Skill Tree, Leveling & Card Upgrades

Q: What does the skill tree do?

With each level-up, you earn a skill point that can be freely invested in the skill tree. There you unlock passive bonuses – such as more starting resources, additional cards in hand, or higher credit production. This gradually customizes your playstyle.

Q: What are Booster Packs for?

Booster packs are a core element of meta progression in Frontline Protocol. They may contain new cards and Card EXP that strengthen your deck over time and contribute to your meta progression. As you progress, you gain access to higher-quality booster packs to unlock increasingly rare and powerful cards. Each booster opens up new options for your builds and strengthens your position in the deckbuilding system in the long run.

Level System & Skill Tree

Meta Progression for Your Playstyle

With every match you win, you earn experience points and move closer to your next level-up. Leveling up not only brings booster credits or rare cards, but also unlocks new difficulty levels, the mission system, and more deck strength. The latter allows you to include stronger cards in your decks and strategically refine your playstyle.

In addition, with every level-up, you receive a skill point to invest in the skill tree – a central element of your meta progression. Whether it's more starting resources, extra cards in hand, or passive bonuses for your economy – you decide where to place your focus. Some skills are available right away, others require reaching specific level intervals (every 5 or 10 levels). This creates a flexible yet deep system for customizing your playstyle.

Card Upgrading

Long-Term Progress Through Card EXP

In addition to player EXP, you also collect extra Card EXP for 1–3 cards after each match. Booster packs also occasionally contain freely distributable Card EXP. You can invest these experience points in specific cards to upgrade them, permanently reducing their credit cost when played.

In the long run, you can further individualize your deck: The perk system currently in development will allow you to unlock unique bonuses for each card – scaled by rarity (from Common to Epic). With over 60 perks, this creates a deep meta system that rewards strategic thinking and is perfect for players who want to perfect their deck over time.
