Boosts

Boosts can be activated in the lobby before Arena or Warzone matches,, increasing the amount of XP or REQ Points (RP) earned per match. But each boost has certain requirements that must be met before you can claim your reward. Some boosts require only that you complete a match, while others may require you to kill a Boss in Warzone or secure a top 50 percent ranking. The XP or REQ Point reward varies based on the rarity of the card—generally, rarer cards provide greater boosts.
