Now, let’s dive deeper and answer some common questions to turn you into a true Mastery Token hunter.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Mastery Tokens
Here are some FAQs that will help you on your quest:
1. How do I get Mastery 7 Tokens in League of Legends?
To acquire Mastery 7 Tokens, you need to achieve an S or S+ grade in Summoner’s Rift normal or ranked games on a champion you’ve already attained Mastery Level 6 with. Once you’ve collected three Mastery 7 Tokens for that champion, you can’t earn any more. Combining those three tokens with Blue Essence (BE) or the Champion’s permanent unlocks Mastery Level 7.
2. How do I get another Mastery 6 Token?
If you’re at Mastery Level 5 with a champion, you will receive a Mastery 6 Token whenever you earn an S-, S, or S+ grade in a Summoner’s Rift normal or ranked game. You need two of these tokens, along with Blue Essence or the Champion’s Hextech shard, to unlock Mastery Level 6.
3. Can you get Mastery Tokens in bot games (Co-op vs. AI)?
Unfortunately, no. All Co-op vs. AI modes and custom games do not allow players to earn Mastery Points or Mastery Tokens. This is because the AI doesn’t provide a competitive environment that accurately reflects player skill. To get them, you need to head to Summoner’s Rift normal and ranked games.
4. How many Mastery Tokens are needed for Mastery 6?
You require two Mastery 6 Tokens to upgrade a champion from Mastery Level 5 to Mastery Level 6. These tokens must be combined with either the champion’s Hextech shard, a champion permanent, or 2450 Blue Essence.
5. What do Mastery 6 Tokens do?
Mastery 6 Tokens serve as a necessary component to unlock Mastery Level 6 for a specific champion. When you earn an S-, S, or S+ grade on a champion at Mastery Level 5, you receive these tokens. Collecting two of them allows you to upgrade that champion’s Mastery Level.
6. What does “mastery locked” mean?
The term “mastery locked” typically refers to a champion’s mastery level being at 0, 1, 2, or 3. At these levels, the champion’s mastery emote is unavailable for use in-game. This indicates that you have not yet reached a level of proficiency with the champion to showcase it.
7. Why am I not getting Mastery 6 Tokens?
There are several reasons why you might not be receiving Mastery 6 Tokens. Here’s a checklist:
- Mastery Level: You must already be at Mastery Level 5 with the champion.
- Game Mode: You must be playing on Summoner’s Rift in a Normal or Ranked game.
- Personal Performance: The S-, S, or S+ grade must be earned by you and not a teammate.
- Recent Game: You must get the S- as the bare minimum and this will only grant the Mastery 6 Token.
8. What is the highest Mastery Level in League of Legends?
The highest obtainable Mastery Level in League of Legends is Mastery Level 7. Achieving this level unlocks unique in-game rewards such as a special loading screen border (visible to allies only), an in-game announcement banner, and the ability to use the champion’s Mastery badge emote.
9. How do I get an S grade in League of Legends?
Earning an S grade requires strong performance across various aspects of the game. Here are some tips:
- Farm Effectively: High creep score (CS) is crucial.
- KDA: Maintain a good Kill/Death/Assist ratio. Avoid unnecessary deaths.
- Vision Score: Place and destroy wards to control the map’s vision.
- Objective Control: Participate in taking down towers, dragons, and Rift Herald.
- Damage Output: Deal significant damage to enemy champions and objectives.
- Control the Game: Always be aware of your surroundings and stay one step ahead of your enemy.
10. Can you get Mastery Tokens in ARAM?
No, you cannot get Mastery Tokens in ARAM. Mastery Tokens can only be earned on Summoner’s Rift in Normal and Ranked games.
11. How long does it take to get to Mastery 5?
The time it takes to reach Mastery Level 5 varies depending on your performance. However, you can get to Mastery Level 5 by grinding and playing games frequently and consistently.
12. What is a good KDA to get an S?
There’s no definitive KDA that guarantees an S grade. However, aiming for a KDA of 3:1 or higher significantly increases your chances. Remember that other factors, like CS, vision score, and objective participation, also play a crucial role.
13. What do mastery points do?
Mastery points are earned by playing games with a champion and contribute to your overall Champion Mastery Level. As you accumulate more points, you’ll level up your Mastery, unlocking rewards and demonstrating your experience with that champion.
14. Do assists count towards mastery?
Yes, assists definitely count toward your mastery score. A good KDA including assists is essential for receiving the S grade, this resulting in Mastery Tokens.
15. How do you display your mastery level?
You can display your mastery level in-game using the Mastery badge emote (Ctrl + number 1-7). For Mastery Levels 4 and above, you’ll also have a special loading screen border visible to your allies and an in-game announcement banner when the game starts.
Leveling Up Your Game and Sharing the Knowledge
Ultimately, earning Mastery Tokens and advancing through the Mastery Levels is about consistent performance, strategic gameplay, and a deep understanding of your champion. So get out there, hone your skills, and show off your mastery on the Rift!
