Typically, every month there is a new Battle Pass. This is a set of events that will lead to specific rewards. Every day, you’ll be required to do some events to get tokens to progress on the battle pass.

Battle Pass
Each day there is an event that will reward a certain number of points that count towards your progress. There are many different events, so typically there is:
- Power gain: Here you have to gain power through buildings, research, ship xp or officer xp spends. This tends to be the hardest one, and many people save a defense platform to use to upgrade it and complete this event (one platform usually is enough power).
- Exchange Hostiles: this event involves destroying exchange armadas or doing damage to exchange transports. It tends to be very easy if you have a Stella, but challenging without.
- Hostile Hunt: Just kill hostiles or armadas. This is a simple grind event, everyone can complete it without a problem.
- Unity: Either contribute or send help to your alliance. If you are in a decent sized alliance, you should have zero problem sending help during the 24 hours.
- Master Surveyer: Mine anything or tier up your miners. Tends to be relatively easy to complete.
- Away Teams: Complete away teams missions. Many people struggle with this so make certain to always have all your away teams going on.
If you click on an event, you can see how many points you need to get there.
Once you complete an event, you can collect the rewards up to that point. Each reward has a certain number of points that you need to get to it. To just complete the battle pass, you don’t need to do all the events, but you should because there is another event that gives nice rewards if you finish every single one, the Heroic BP Overflow Event.
This event gives you a lot of recruit tokens, and usually gives you some shards whatever officers are being introduced this month. In addition, you get broken desealing rods which will help you to open your latinum vault after 12 pulls (or 6 pulls of this and 6 of monthly chests).
Battle Pass Events
During the battle pass, you will often have events to help you recruit the new officers being introduced that month. These tend to be challenging and require you to have certain resources and tokens saved in order to do them. So what are the typical events?
Grade 3 Uncommon Spend
This event requires you to spend a certain amount of grade 3 uncommon or better resources. It often has a rather high goal, so you need to be sure you’ll have enough saved each time. So you should never use these resources outside of these events if you can avoid it. This event is both an SMS and SLB, with the SLB usually giving you a full unlock if you win, and some amount of the officer shards if you don’t.
Ultra Recruit Token Spend
Exactly like the uncommon spend, except you have to spend Ultra Tokens. There is an SMS and SLB and this usually goes towards a full unlock as well.
Rare/Epic Armada Directives
This event also often happens during a battle pass. You’d have to spend directives to succeed at it, usually two rare and an epic, or three rare plus a few joined. To make sure you have enough Rare and Epic directives, make sure you are doing this event properly: Crucible of War
Story Arc
A story arc is a group of battle passes that tell a longer story. This can last anywhere from two to four battle passes.
Event Store
At the end of a story arc, you will get an event store. In the event store, you will be able to buy tons of different things, including some things that are almost impossible to get elsewhere. So what to buy? The following are quite good if available
- A second set of Stella blueprints (if you already have one, otherwise wait till you get the cheap one then you can get this).
- D’Vor Feesha Blueprints
- Amalgam Blueprints
- Sarcophagus Blueprints
- Discovery Blueprints (if you don’t have one yet)
- Vi’dar Blueprints (if you don’t have one yet)
- Meridian Blueprints (especially if you don’t have one yet)
As tempting as it is to buy other ships, it’s usually not worth it. The blueprints for the ships available in the faction stores will come with time, and these can only be gotten here in many cases, or in rare events. So it is better not to spend on them.
You can also buy officer shards, but again they are often overpriced. From officer shards, there is often a pack of officers from the current arc. The price there tends to be quite good, so that is very much worth buying. In addition, some of the rarer officers are also quite good to get if you have some credits to spare and they happen to be there (depends from arc to arc).
- Picard
- Jayla
- Harrison
Otherwise it’s at your discretion, but often it’s only worth it if you need a couple shards to get the next tier.
