How to convert Chrono Tokens into Units in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals, a superhero showdown from NetEase Games has swept the gaming world since its December 2024 release, combining intense PVP action with a complex cosmetic economy. A trio of currencies—Lattice, Units, and Chrono Tokens—are central to its appeal, with each fuelling different aspects of the player experience.

Lattice, the premium currency, is acquired with real money and starts from $0.99 for 100 Lattice. It serves as the entrance to unique skins and bundles. Units, the blue-coin staple, may be earned during gameplay or converted from Lattice at a 1:1 ratio to fuel in-game purchases such as character skins and emotes. Chrono Tokens, the purple lightning currency, are closely linked to the Battle Pass, awarding players with free and premium cosmetics as they complete daily missions and challenges.

This multi-currency system strikes a compromise between accessibility for free-to-play users and appealing options for spenders, keeping the community active. As Season 1, Eternal Night Falls, nears its finale, NetEase has released a game-changing update in February 2025 where players can now convert surplus Chrono Tokens into Units after completing the Battle Pass. Here’s how it works.

In Marvel Rivals, you can turn Chrono Tokens into Units if you have the Luxury Battle Pass and complete all of its rewards. This feature, which was introduced with the Season 1.5 update, allows players to trade in their extra Chrono Tokens, which they earn from daily missions and challenges, for Units, which can be used to purchase cosmetics in the store.

From the main screen, navigate to the Battle Pass menu, where a last screen with the option to convert appears when you’ve unlocked all rewards. Assuming you have sufficient Chrono Tokens, you can convert them at any moment for 100 Units at a rate of 1,000 to 1.

Unused Chrono Tokens do not carry over to the next season so instead, you can redeem them here before the season ends on April 2025, after completing daily missions (for 30 tokens each) and some tougher challenges (worth 80 tokens). Take 5,000 Chrono Tokens as an example. You’ll get 500 Units, which is plenty for low prices cosmetics. However, you’ll need 1,600 Units for premium skins. This is not accessible to free-tier players, rather it is reserved for those who have purchased the Luxury Battle Pass (990 Lattice, around $9.99). Now that you know, maximize your Units for Season 1’s store offers by planning your grinding early on.

Marvel Rivals continues to fascinate its player base with an array of renowned Marvel characters and a regular stream of eye-catching skins. Since its inception, the game has used a free-to-play strategy to keep players involved with cosmetic incentives, combining comic-book flare with competitive action. Skins, which allow players to personalize their heroes, have become a popular aspect of the game, from Spider-Man's sleek costumes to Scarlet Witch's mystical ensembles. What distinguishes Marvel Rivals is its generosity as it occasionally offers free skins through events, milestones, and ranked play, ensuring that everyone has access to distinctive looks without spending a dime.

The Midnight Features event has previously given away festive items such as Jeff the Land Shark's Cuddly Fuzzlefin winter skin and Thor's Reborn from Ragnarok attire. Players can also complete Heroic Journey challenges for permanent unlock, such as Storm's Ivory Breeze, or obtain platform-specific items, such as Peni Parker's VEN#M for PlayStation players.

UPDATE: February 19, 2025
NetEase responded to our inquiry with the following statement:

We recently made the difficult decision to adjust Marvel Rivals’ development team structure for organizational reasons and to optimize development efficiency for the game. This resulted in a reduction of a design team based in Seattle that is part of a larger global design function in support of Marvel Rivals. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of those affected and will be treating them confidentially and respectfully with recognition for their individual contributions.
