Referral Program Update

The Referral Program Update aims to revive the energy players once had to invite their friends to their beloved game. Players earn some rewards for different milestones that their friends achieve whom they referred through their special referral link. The referral link can be generated by going to the Referral tab. 

Here are some of the changes coming to the Referral program with Patch 5.80:

• Players who have already invited 3 people through their referral link will now get 3 extra slots for referrals.
• The level milestone has been removed from Level 50 and a new milestone is set at Level 51 for some extra rewards.
• Instead of 200 energy, players will now get Epic champion fragments when the referrals reach Level 10. 
• A new legendary champion’s fragments can be obtained when the referrals from the 3 extra slots reach Level 30. 
• Players can also earn special skins for the new Epic and Legendary champion from the referral program according to the total level and activity levels reached by all the referrals combined.
