• Players earn the Stars needed to climb the ranking ladder by winning battles.
  
• At the majority of ranks, a defeat means a lost Star. The player with the most base XP in a team doesn't lose a star upon a defeat.
  
• Those who are new to Ranked Battles will start the Season from Rank 18.
  
• Those who participated in the previous Season will receive bonus Stars after the first battle of the current Season: one for each rank attained in the previous Season.
