Champion Points
Slottable stars used across the tank builds. Each constellation lets you slot four stars at once.
Update 52 (PTS) version
This page is the Update 52 version of the Champion Points reference. Update 52 is on the PTS until January 19, 2027, so numbers can still move. Skill and set tooltips still show the live Update 51 text; hover one that changes to see what's new. For what works in game today, switch to Update 51 in the version picker (top right, or in the menu on phones). The full list is in the Update 52 patch notes.
- Cutting Defense (Warfare) now also adds half of
Deadly Bash's new damage-to-monsters bonus while your Armor and Health outweigh your damage stats. The stars on this page don't change.
