The latest patch for MARVEL SNAP brought to the game a new way to play: Conquest Mode! For players wondering what it is and how to play, we've got answers to those questions and more.
Overview of Conquest
Quote From MARVEL SNAP Conquest is an adrenaline-pumping journey where players enter a series of competitive runs, each with increasing difficulty. Your objective? Rack up consecutive wins against other players and advance through the tiers: Proving Grounds, Silver, Gold, and the ultimate challenge, Infinity. With each victory, you’ll earn medals and secure your spot in the next Conquest. And as you progress, the rewards only get better!
Playing Conquest
Conquest can be found under the Game Modes tab on the bottom right of the screen, then tapping on the Conquest banner. Slide the screen to choose the league you want and select Enter. The game will let you pick your deck, then you hit play and get into the game.
Quote From MARVEL SNAP Conquest uses Battle Mode as its format. Battle Mode is different from regular MARVEL SNAP. Battle Mode pits two opponents against each other through multiple rounds. Each player starts with 10 health. Instead of Cubes, what’s at stake is the amount of damage the winner will deal to the loser. If you can deplete your opponent’s health to zero, you win! In Battle Mode, the stakes become front and center. Every SNAP and Retreat takes extra meaning, as every point of health is critical to remaining alive.
Starting with Round 5, each game is "Double Stakes," meaning that it starts with 2 Cubes at risk and Snapping doubles the total, up to the maximum amount of Health the losing player has left.
Quote From MARVEL SNAP Further, each player’s deck is locked for the duration of the Battle. This means you’ll quickly learn what cards are in their deck, and your opponent might be aware of what sneaky tricks you’re hiding. Keeping track of what cards in your deck haven’t been seen by your opponent can make all the difference in whether you can squeeze out an extra SNAP.
It should also be noted that Conquest is not affected by ongoing Featured Locations.
Conquest Tiers
Quote From MARVEL SNAP Each Conquest tier presents a unique challenge that will put your skills to the test. As you climb the ranks, the difficulty increases, but so do the rewards! Here’s a full breakdown of each tier:
The rewards at each Tier stack - that means you get 20 Medals just for starting a Silver Conquest, and earn an additional 40 Medals by winning your first match, then 60 more Medals (and a Golden Ticket) if you win your second match for a total of 120 Medals.
Quote From MARVEL SNAP Unlike the other tiers (which are always available), you can only play the Infinity Conquest during the final week of the season. Save up those Infinity Tickets, and get ready for a wild week of competition. Win, and you’ll be awarded an Infinity-Framed copy of your current Avatar – the ultimate symbol of your triumph. This exclusive reward can only be obtained by conquering the Infinity Conquest.
You can buy entry into a Tier with Gold, or with a Ticket earned by completing a Conquest at the previous Tier. If you have no Ticket, a Silver entry costs 80 Gold, a Gold entry costs 200 Gold, and an Infinite entry costs 500 Gold.
If you're feeling a little intimidated by the concept of competing in Conquest, the developers have made things a little easier: each player's first-ever match in Proving Grounds, Silver, and Gold Tiers is guaranteed to be against a bot opponent. After that, players will always match against a human opponent.
There are also some matchmaking restrictions in the lower tiers, with "banding" around certain Collection Levels so a player in Proving Grounds won't face against someone with an unfair advantage in cards. Silver and Gold have looser restrictions, while Infinite has no matchmaking restrictions.
The Medal Shop
Quote From MARVEL SNAP The Medal Shop is your one-stop destination for turning hard-earned medals into fantastic rewards. Offering new items each week, the shop provides a selection of rewards for you to enjoy. Most items can only be purchased once. Rack up enough purchases, and you’ll unlock a bonus reward for the season. And with each new season comes a fresh, new Medal Shop.
The Medal Shop resets at the end of each Season and unspent Medals are converted into Boosters. "Purchases Needed to Unlock" also reset to zero at the end of each Season.
Spider-Versus Medal Shop
By making nine purchases during Spider-Versus Season, you can unlock the exclusive "Carnagized" Green Goblin Variant.

Carnagized Green Goblin making us question if we are color-blind :p
I saw sb played this carnagized goblin already. How is it possible? You can buy only 6 items for now.
curious to know who spends medals for titles / avatar (and why)
I actually bought the Title, because it's litterely awesome. Well, mostly because it goes well with pretty much any deck or Avatar combination. Also because I like the Green Goblin skin and don't find many of the offers compelling enough.
I can also see how some people are going to buy the Avatar to show off that they were there and somewhat succesfull during this Season. It's also worth noting that this is one of the few ways for f2p players (outside of saving Gold) to get Avatars of card variants.
