The excitement surrounding Marvel Rivals is palpable, especially with the introduction of new skins, maps, and characters from various roles. As players gear up for release, understanding the game’s currency system is crucial, especially since it’s a free-to-play title with monetization elements.
Recently, on December 4, developers provided a comprehensive overview of the in-game currencies and the Battle Pass through a blog post. This guide will break down each currency and elaborate on the monetization strategies, ensuring players are well-informed.

One of the highlights of Marvel Rivals is the introduction of various currencies integral to gameplay and customization. Players will encounter three primary types of currency: Units, Lattice, and Chrono Tokens. Below, we explore each currency and its applications.
Units
Players familiar with the beta versions will recognize Units, the blue currency earned by completing missions. This currency can be spent on skins and bundles available in the in-game shop. Players can earn a limited quantity of Units for free through the Battle Pass, achievements, and events.
Lattice
Representing the premium currency in the game, Lattice is primarily acquired through real-money purchases. However, the developers have indicated that a portion of this currency will also be available through the Battle Pass. Notably, Lattice can be converted to Units at a 1:1 ratio, with pricing set at USD $0.99 for 100 Lattice and USD $99.99 for 11,680 Lattice.
Chrono Tokens
In contrast to others, Chrono Tokens are linked to the Battle Pass, serving as a currency to unlock both free rewards and those from the Luxury tier. Players can earn these tokens through a variety of tasks and events throughout the game.
Pricing for Skins

As Marvel Rivals continues to expand its roster, skin pricing is also set to be a focal point. Most skins will be offered as bundles containing additional cosmetic items, although individual purchases will be an option. Buying a complete bundle usually provides a discounted cost.
Here are some examples of bundle pricing:
- Standard Epic-Quality Bundle: 1,600 UNITS (originally 2,200 UNITS, -28% discount)
- Standard Epic-Quality MCU Bundle: 1,800 UNITS (originally 2,400 UNITS, -25% discount)
- Standard Legendary-Quality Bundle: 2,400 UNITS (originally 3,300 UNITS, -28% discount)
Considering that USD $0.99 translates to 100 Units, the Standard Epic-Quality Bundle roughly costs $16. Each bundle typically includes:
- A costume or skin
- MVP animation
- An emote
- A spray
- A nameplate
Battle Pass Insights (Season 0)
The Battle Pass structure provides both free and premium rewards. Priced at 490 Lattice or approximately USD $5, the Luxury Battle Pass touts a value of 8,000 Units. In contrast, the free tier offers players one epic-quality skin along with various bonus items.
Season 0 of the Battle Pass will last only a short time compared to regular seasons, and its pricing reflects this. Nevertheless, rewards not claimed during Season 0 can be redeemed in future seasons.
To further prepare for the game’s release, players should familiarize themselves with the full roster, game modes, and minimum requirements.
