# Progression system

Progression in QUBIT is designed to reward both players and their characters through active, skill-based gameplay. It’s a dual-layered system that tracks experience and achievements at the account level and per Character NFT, making your journey meaningful no matter how you play.

* Progression is tied to skill, consistency, and strategic play, not wallet size.
* Characters become more valuable as they’re played and developed.
* The system supports daily engagement, long-term goals, and community-wide events through account and character progression.

## Player progression

As a player, your account gains experience (EXP) through every match, quest, and completed task.

\
Key tracked metrics include:

* **Account EXP & Level** – Gain EXP to level up your account and unlock system-wide features (e.g. rewards, titles, future perks).
* **Flares** (player-bound) – Earned through quests and gameplay. Used to access account-level rewards (TBD).
* **Activity Stats** – Your total matches, kills, wins, and last activity date are all tracked in your profile.

Your account progression (Player progression) represents your personal journey in QUBIT, independent of which character you’re playing with

## Character NFT Progression

Every Character NFT also progresses independently. The more you play with a specific character, the more powerful and unique it becomes.

\
Each Character tracks:

* Character EXP & Level – Determines the rate at which progression rewards unlock, including spell upgrades and cosmetics.
* Flare Balance (NFT-bound) – Flares tied to a character can only be used by that character to unlock upgrades or enhancements.
* Kills & Wins – Match stats that reflect a character’s personal battle history.

Every character is a living record of gameplay and a unique asset that evolves over time.
