GbG Championship 9: Battle for the Somerset Hospital!

Dear Battleground Champions,
The latest Championship is over now and the next one will start on July 31st, 2025! However we don't want to miss this opportunity to tell you about the next Championship reward: The Somerset Hospital!

Somerset Hospital

Just like the other Championship buildings, this building is a Championship reward, specific to the Diamond Leagues.

Again, you have to win at least three Diamond League Battlegrounds in a Championship to get enough Fragments to unlock level one and win FIVE Battlegrounds in a Championship to unlock level 2! However, keep in mind that the Somerset Hospital - Lv. 1 produces Fragments for the Upgrade Kit as well. This means you will be able to level up the building to Lv. 2 with Fragments alone.

Adjusted Season Rewards

With the new Championship starting, we have also adjusted the season rewards for the first 3 places in Diamond League, as the Fort Imperial Selection Kit Fragments will be replaced by the Somerset Hospital Selection Kit Fragments.

Adjusted Conquest Rewards

With the new Championship starting, we have also adjusted the conquest rewards for the Diamond League, as the Imperial Foundry Fragments will be replaced by the Somerset Infirmary Selection Kit Fragments.

Note: Due to the new scaling adjustments being active on Beta, but not on Live markets, Conquest Rewards may differ for this Championship between Beta and Live.
