With Split 2 coming to a close soon, many players are looking to maximize their Hextech Chest rewards before the system resets. There has been some confusion about the new Mastery Chest system introduced in Split 2, so this guide aims to help players earn those final chests before starting over in the next split.
Step 1: Locate the Seasonal Mastery System
To begin, open your Collection and go to the Champions tab. Filter your champions by selecting "All Champions" and then "Seasonal Mastery". This will sort your champions based on their Seasonal Mastery level.
Each champion card will display a number (0 to IV) in the bottom left corner, indicating their Seasonal Champion Mastery level. For more detailed progress information, click on a champion and navigate to their "Mastery" tab.
Step 2: Identify Champions at Mastery 1 and 3
The new system allows you to earn:
- 6 chests at Seasonal Mastery Level 1 (I)
- 25 chests at Seasonal Mastery Level 3 (III)
If you haven't reached Seasonal Mastery Level 1 with 6 champions yet, you can choose any champion to play. Typically, you'll achieve Seasonal Mastery Level 1 after playing a champion 5 times, as you only need 4 C grades and 1 B grade to level up your Seasonal Mastery.
If you've already earned the 6 chests for Seasonal Mastery Level 1, focus on champions close to reaching Seasonal Mastery Level 3. You can earn up to 25 chests by reaching this level on different champions, though it's more challenging to hit this cap. It usually takes around 15 games to reach this goal on each champion, or 10 games for those who have already reached Seasonal Mastery Level 1.
Step 3: Complete the Mastery 3 Milestone
Look for champions that are close to reaching Seasonal Mastery Level 3. For example, if you have several champions at Seasonal Mastery Level 2, these are your best opportunities for quick rewards.
By focusing on champions that are close to leveling up, you can earn multiple chests with minimal effort. For instance, playing one game each on three champions near Mastery 3 could net you 3 chests in just 3 games.
Remember, the Split end will reset the system, so you'll need to start the grind to Seasonal Mastery Level 3 from zero again. You have about a week to finish things up, so it's advisable to check your progress before it's too late!
