How Does the Ranked Climb Work in Marvel Snap?
Marvel Snap's ranked ladder runs from rank 1 up to rank 100, which is called Infinite. You climb by winning cubes in Ranked mode, and your rank resets downward at the start of each new season. This guide covers how the rank reset works, what happens after you hit Infinite, and how many people actually reach the top each season (using data from tracked SnapComplete players).
How Many Players Hit Infinite Each Season?
This season, 19% of tracked SnapComplete players hit Infinite rank (N = 3,962).
That percentage is scoped to SnapComplete users who synced their collection during the current snap season (which starts on the first Tuesday of each month at 19:00 UTC). Tracked SnapComplete players tend to skew more competitive and collection-focused than the broader Marvel Snap audience, so this number is almost certainly higher than the global Infinite rate across all Marvel Snap players. Second Dinner does not publish an official Infinite percentage, but SnapComplete is the only public tool that aggregates rank data from a large sample of synced accounts, which makes this the closest thing to a ground-truth number for tracked players.
The exact figure shifts throughout the season. Early-season numbers are low because nobody has had time to climb yet. By the last week before reset, the percentage is at its ceiling. Check the global leaderboard to see the Infinite Race category, which ranks how fast each player reached Infinite this season.
What Is the Ranked Ladder Structure?
Marvel Snap splits the 1-100 ladder into 12 named tiers. Each tier is roughly 10 ranks wide, and each tier crossed for the first time in a season grants a cosmetic reward. From lowest to highest:
Recruit (1-4), Agent (5-9), Iron (10-19), Bronze (20-29), Silver (30-39), Gold (40-49), Platinum (50-59), Diamond (60-69), Vibranium (70-79), Omega (80-89), Galactic (90-99), and Infinite (100).
You need 7 net cubes to advance one rank. Winning a match earns you cubes proportional to how high the cube counter climbed during the game, and losing or retreating costs you that same amount. A typical match wagers 1-8 cubes depending on snap and retreat decisions, so your climb speed depends on how aggressively you bet cubes in winning spots and retreat losing ones.
Can You Derank in Marvel Snap?
Yes. Marvel Snap has only two rank floors: rank 10 (bottom of Iron) and rank 100 (Infinite). You cannot drop below rank 10 no matter how many matches you lose, and once you hit Infinite you stay there for the rest of the season. Every rank in between is fair game to drop through. A bad losing streak in Vibranium can put you back in Diamond or Platinum before the next reset, and the in-between tiers like Gold, Silver, and Bronze have no floor protection either.
Infinite is the only tier that locks you in for the rest of the season. Once you hit rank 100, your position above 100 is tracked on a separate in-game leaderboard (lower leaderboard number is better). You keep earning or losing cubes against other Infinite players, and that score determines where you sit on the in-game Infinite leaderboard, but your rank label stays "Infinite" until the season ends.
How Does Season Reset Work?
At the end of each snap season (the first Tuesday of every month at 19:00 UTC), Marvel Snap applies a tiered rank reset. The current formula, in place since the April 2025 patch, pushes higher-ranked players down less aggressively than the old "minus 30 cubes" system and leaves players below rank 53 untouched:
| Finished season at | Resets to |
|---|---|
| Infinite (rank 100) | 75 (Vibranium) |
| 90-99 (Galactic) | 73 |
| 80-89 (Omega) | 65 |
| 70-79 (Vibranium) | 63 |
| 60-69 (Diamond) | 55 |
| 53-59 | 53 |
| 1-52 | No decay |
Tier rewards (cardbacks, credits, boosters, avatars) that you unlocked by reaching each tier for the first time are permanent and stay in your inventory after the reset. New-season tier rewards start dropping into your rank track once you play 10 games in the new season, so plan to get those games in early if you want the current season's cardback or avatar.
Can You Reach Infinite with a Budget Deck?
Yes, but with caveats. Most tracked players who hit Infinite each season use decks built around archetypes that reward strong snap-and-retreat play: Discard, Destroy, Move, and on-curve Ongoing lists are the long-running budget-friendly ladders. SnapComplete's community deck stats page shows which decks had the highest win rate and cube rate in Ranked Infinite during the current week, including filters for the Ranked Infinite mode specifically so you can see what top-tier players actually piloted to Infinite and above.
If you are planning a climb, filter the deck stats page by Ranked Infinite mode and sort by cube rate. Decks with a positive cube rate gain rank faster than you might expect from raw win rate alone, because the cube bet size compounds when you snap correctly.
Does Matchmaking Use Your Rank?
Marvel Snap's matchmaking pairs you with opponents who are close to your current rank and Collection Level. The goal is a roughly 50/50 winrate across the population, so if you are climbing, matchmaking will assign you progressively tougher opponents until your cube-per-match rate settles. Bot opponents are mixed in especially at lower ranks and at higher Collection Levels early in the season. SnapComplete automatically detects and tags bot matches, so you can filter your match history to see your record against real human opponents only.
How Does SnapComplete Rank Your Climb?
Every synced SnapComplete account contributes to the Infinite Race leaderboard, which ranks players by how fast they reached rank 100 each season. The global leaderboard has a dedicated Infinite Race category with an all-time row showing each player's fastest climb across every season they have tracked, plus individual rows per past season.
All ranked analytics, percentile cutoffs, and Infinite Race rankings are free. Premium adds tier-1, tier-2, and tier-3 defenses on the Pursue and Defend tabs, wider historical periods, and name visibility on the top of each leaderboard.
