Spellbreak

To unlock this achievement, you'll need to get one gauntlet to level 14.

As of Chapter 1 patch 2.1 (February 2021) there has been a significant reduction in the level of experience required to level up gauntlets, making the level-linked achievements much easier to get in Spellbreak.

Level 7 was 10,150 - it is now 3,700
Level 8 was 14,250 - it is now 3,710
Level 11 was 33,150 - it is now 3,840
Level 14 was 61,950 - it is now 4,330

At the same time it is actually easier to earn 1000+ xp per game. A number of new accolades have been added, which up your per game xp. Even getting into a safe zone gives +275xp.

Low server populations (e.g. the Asian servers) also make it easier to use the Battle Royale mode in Squad to level up. Games will start with only 1 player and fill the other 44 positions with bots. It's not EZ mode - it's very possible to lose to bots if they gang up, or surprise you - but with a bit of practise you will soon be banishing multiple bots and finishing in the top 3 on a regular basis. That's likely to be over 1500 xp earned (winning a game is likely to be closer to 2000 xp), making it only a few games per gauntlet level. (Character level and season level remain at the original xp levels.)

Having one or two humans on your squad will boost your ability to win if you stick together. Also, banishing defeated enemies is a great way to recover potions and improve your equipment - bots seem to be very quick in hoovering up rare and epic items.

EDIT: Within the Season 1 Season Pass are levels where the reward is 15,000 XP. Getting these rewards will cut down on the amount of time you will need to get one gauntlet to level 14 (although I recommend using a variety of gauntlets across your games just so you don't end up with an underleveled gauntlet you don't like if you are trying to take them all to level 14).

EDIT: According to a comment below there may have been a patch that upped the experience amount required per level. This will mean this guide is out of date in the specifics of the amount needed to level up (however, it seems to still be much lower than it was originally).

UPDATE : Use the other solution (Un Subject) below cause, this one is outdated and also upvote the other solution. I will leave this as a placeholder to anyone who wants to know how much xp it was required originally to get this achievement. They reduced the xp required by a lot so yeah , happy hunting and you got this

This was previously unobtainable but it got fixed in Spellbreak v1.1. This is a semi-guide (mostly informational) on how much xp you need to unlock an afterglow in the game for each class. I personally wrote down this xp list down below as I leveled up.

rank 2 - 600
rank 3 - 1500
rank 4 - 2800
rank 5 - 4600
rank 6 -7000
rank 7 - 10150
rank 8 -14250
rank 9 - 19450
rank 10 -25750
rank 11- 33150
rank 12-41650
rank 13-51250
rank 14-61950
total for 1 afterglow = 274100
For 6 afterglows = 274100 x 6 = 1644600

So when I got all the afterglows this was my match count


If you wanna know how long it takes for you to get afterglow take the total xp 274100 divide by the xp game you get on average. So lets say you get 1000 xp per game. You are looking about 275 games per afterglow. The best/fastest way to get xp is definitely surviving for 10 mins and exile/damage as much as you can.

Accolades does help but not as effective as surviving/fighting, don't go out of your way to get it. Just enjoy and try your best each match. As of now daily quests (3 objectives when you check your map) gives xp for your mage rank, it does not affect your class rank. Below are pictures of how xp can vary.

Surviving with little damage and no kills


High damage and kill games


Most efficient/fast xp


Recommendation:
I can't really give a best setup class/rune/combo to run because the meta for battle royales will always change. They will nerf/buff/introduce new combat aspects of the game. So my recommendation is that, as you play each class, learn what playstyles suits you the most. As a tempest I basically went into every fight as I can but as a frostborn I made sure I was passive and select my fights carefully.

Tips: If you are struggling on the BR aspect of the game. The devs have stated they will introduce new modes 9v9s etc. I am not entirely sure how xp will work then but hopefully it will make this game less grindy and a lot easier to obtain this achievement.

So thats about it. I hope this guide helps you plan on how you will be grinding this two very time consuming 140 TA ratio (as of september 2020) achievements and feel free to message/comment me. Happy hunting

*Currently glitched*

You'll need to reach level 14 with a single element. This will take some time seen as at level 9 it takes 20+ high kill victory matches to level up!

*seen as the achievement is currently glitched, its possible the shop afterglows may work*

Buying the afterglow in the shop doesn't count towards the achievement.

For anyone wondering how to get this to pop after the update just play a match or two, if you have any characters over rank 14 you will pop it if you play them and it adds a little xp to your rank thats the time it will pop on the match experience screen once this appears it should pop
