Leagues

Instituted in Season 4, Leagues (formerly Leaderboard) is a tiered ranking system of wins of various players throughout a 7-day period. Each win awards League Points which rank players at the end of the week offering various rewards such as scans, Crystals, and Studs. There are 5 different leagues that players can be promoted to or demoted from based on League Point ranking that week. Leagues are unlocked once a player reaches the planet Endor.

League Leaderboards each week start and end on Sunday 0:00:00 UTC (midnight). To enter a leaderboard, win a battle in ladder play (non-event) at any point during the week. Each leaderboard consists of 30 players in each league through requirements for promotion/demotion vary based on league. (See more information below.) You join other players in that league's leaderboard once you win a Ladder (non-event) game until that board is full and a new board is created. (Some coordination happens on the LSWB discord so that the biggest grinders aren't competing on the same leaderboard.)

If you do not qualify for a league (win a battle) during the span of the week, you will automatically be demoted one league.

## LSWB Leagues

Commanders can join a league regardless of the number of planets unlocked. However, planets award different League Points making winning a League or being promoted much easier with more unlocked planets. Players in various leagues also get bonus studs for each win as seen below

* Cadet League (no bonus)
* Captain League (+10% studs)
* Commander League (+20% studs)
* Major League (+35% studs)
* Admiral League (+50% studs)

### League Points

Based on the number of planets a commander has unlocked, a varying number of League Points (LP) is awarded based on wins. (No LP is awarded for ties or losses.) Battling on different planets does not change the number of LP awarded for a win, it is based solely on which highest planet is unlocked.

* Jakku: 0 LP
* Endor: 10 League Points (Leagues Unlocked)
* Geonosis: 20 League Points
* Hoth: 30 League Points
* Takodana: 50 League Points
* Kashyyyk: 70 League Points
* Naboo: 100 League Points
* Kamino: 200 League Points
* Scarif: 340 League Points
* Exegol: 480 League Points
* Kessel: 600 League Points

### General League Tips

Leaderboard awards those who play the game a lot. Play more games -> win more games -> more LP for Leaderboard -> better rewards. Newer/lower level players will struggle at higher tier leagues if all planets are not unlocked. There is a significant LP boost for each planet unlocked, therefore players with more or all planets unlocked have a steep advantage to those who don't. Players will want to have the highest planet unlocked to maximize LP per win. There are a number of serious players in the game that can rack up close to 500,000 LP in one week. Newer/lower level players should aim to keep their trophy counts slightly lower so that there is a greater chance of more wins to progress at minimum to Major League to get the bonus 35% studs. Bouncing between leagues is perfectly fine as you level your cards and become more comfortable in getting wins. However, once you reach Admiral league, you will want to work hard to stay in this league for the best rewards and more studs earned per win.

One additional strategy tip, players who grind the most will join the week's leaderboard soon after the reset. If you delay joining a leaderboard by a few hours, the next day, or even later in the week, your leaderboard will have more casual players and staying in a league will be easier. (Keep in mind daily tasks if you want to receive all of the season rewards.)
