Marathon Ranked Tier Climbing Guide
Looking at the Ranked structure, I am trying to map out a realistic climb from lower tiers upward. There are six tiers from Bronze to Pinnacle, each with three subdivisions, and possibly a Master tier later. Entry requires meeting a gear ante and purchasing a Holotag, which already costs resources. If extraction value exceeds the target, you rank up, but failure means losing points equal to that target. That risk makes ranked feel different from casual PvPvE runs. I am especially curious how High Stakes Zones unlocked at Platinum affect progression speed. Since ranked details may adjust when Season 1 officially launches, planning feels tricky. What would be a steady way to approach tier climbing without burning through gear and credits?
