Marvel Snap is an exciting new mobile card game developed by Second Dinner and published by Nuverse. In Marvel Snap, players build 12-card decks using different Marvel characters, locations, and events. The goal is to win two out of the three locations in each match by playing cards that have higher power than your opponent’s cards in those locations.
One of the most interesting aspects of Marvel Snap is its innovative ranking system. Instead of using the traditional numeric ranks like Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc., Marvel Snap uses an open-ended “Cosmic Cubes” system. Your rank increases by gaining Cosmic Cubes and decreases by losing them. There is no cap on how many Cosmic Cubes you can earn.
How ranks and rating work in Marvel Snap
Each player has a hidden Matchmaking Rating (MMR) that rates their skill level. When you win a match, your MMR goes up, and when you lose, it goes down. The game uses your MMR to match you with opponents of similar skill.
Your Cosmic Cube rank is tied to your MMR. The more Cosmic Cubes you earn, the higher your MMR and rank will be. Here’s a quick breakdown of the Cosmic Cube ranks:
| Cosmic Cube Rank | MMR Range |
|---|---|
| Green | 0 – 1499 MMR |
| Blue | 1500 – 2999 MMR |
| Ultraviolet | 3000 – 4499 MMR |
| Spectrum | 4500 – 5999 MMR |
| Galactic | 6000+ MMR |
As you can see, the higher your MMR, the more Cosmic Cubes and higher rank you achieve. Once you get to Galactic rank, you continue earning Cosmic Cubes and increasing your MMR indefinitely. There is no cap.
What happens when you reach infinite rank?
So what actually happens when you reach incredibly high ranks and earn thousands, even millions of Cosmic Cubes? Here are some of the effects of reaching near infinite rank in Marvel Snap:
1. Your MMR keeps increasing
The most direct effect is that your hidden MMR rating will continue to rise as you win more matches and earn more Cubes at high ranks. While ordinary players may have MMRs in the 1000s or 10000s, yours could be in the millions or more if you achieve a high enough rank.
A player with millions of MMR will be matched exclusively against other top ranked players. The matchmaking system won’t be able to find regular Galactic or Spectrum players with high enough MMRs to match with you.
2. Your rank displays as “∞”
Once you go above 1,000,000 Cosmic Cubes, your rank no longer displays the exact number of Cubes. Instead, it just shows the infinity symbol (∞). This signifies that you’ve achieved an extremely high rank.
Seeing the ∞ symbol next to a player’s name indicates they are in the top echelon of Marvel Snap players in terms of skill and dedication.
3. You earn special rewards
By hitting milestones like 1 million and 10 million Cosmic Cubes, you’ll earn special cosmetic rewards commemorating your achievement. These may include card variants, emotes, titles, and other cosmetics reserved for the top players.
These infinite rank cosmetics serve as a status symbol and allow you to show off your accomplishment in-game.
4. You appear on the special ∞ leaderboard
Marvel Snap has a separate leaderboard just for players who have gone above 1,000,000 Cosmic Cubes. This leaderboard displays the top 500 players ranked by MMR above 1 million.
Competing on this leaderboard against other top players becomes an end-game of its own. You’ll be vying for the top spots against other elite Snap players.
5. You get matched against other infinite players
Like we mentioned earlier, the matchmaking system will start matching you exclusively against others with extremely high MMRs. The games become intense battles of skill between seasoned experts.
Playing at this level requires perfect knowledge of all the cards, mechanics, and strategies. Just a few small mistakes will cost you matches. The gameplay experience becomes very competitive and demanding.
6. Your win rate normalizes
When your MMR reaches astronomical levels, your win rate will normalize to around 50%. This is due to the matchmaking system creating even matches between you and other experts.
While you may have dominated lower ranked players, now you are facing worthy adversaries. Playing field has been leveled so that wins and losses even out.
7. You become a top player
Reaching infinite rank means you have achieved true mastery of Marvel Snap. Your knowledge and skill is incredible compared to ordinary players. Other Snap players will look up to and respect your hard-earned accomplishment.
You may be featured by the developers in promotions, get invited to events, or be known by the community. Enjoy the prestige and reputation as one of the best in the world at Marvel Snap!
Conclusion
Marvel Snap offers truly endless progression through its cosmic cube ranking system. While reaching infinite rank requires an immense time commitment and high skill level, doing so earns you exclusive rewards, prestigious leaderboard status, competitive matches against other experts, and recognition as one of the best Marvel Snap players around.
Striving for infinite rank gives Marvel Snap incredible replay value for the most dedicated players. There’s always a higher level you can reach if you have the skill and determination to get there.
