Also with each season there will be a new Battle Pass that grants you access to special cosmetic items. In addition, the Battle Pass also includes Bonuses for each season, such as more experience points for killing enemies or an increased duration of elixirs. However, the gameplay bonuses are accessible to all players as they are included in the free Battle Pass and are not deprived of the Premium Battle Pass.
Similar to the season, the Battle Pass will be available for three months and comes in three different variants:
Free Battle Pass – free for all season players, contains a total of 27 stages with rewardsPremium Battle Pass – costs around 10 euros and includes 90 stages with various mostly cosmetic rewardsPremium Battle Pass mit Level-Skip – costs around 25 euros and lets you skip the first 20 levels of the Battle Pass and includes an additional emote
You can use it, but it won’t be enough to pay for the next season by itself. But if you save it up over multiple seasons then sure, you can use it to buy a battle pass.
