Virtual Battleground talents
The mode's seasonal talent tree: attack, damage to big targets, a higher starting wave and point bonuses. It works on the regular battleground and on Apex alike.
How talents work
Talents are bought with talent points and reset at the end of every season; spent points are not refunded. Purchased points you never spent stay, temporary ones burn.
The tree has 22 layers and 98 branches — 421 levels for 540 talent points if you buy everything.
