In Rivals, the fastest legit way to get a lot of XP is usually to keep playing the modes that actually reward match completion and focus on winning as much as possible. Community guides for similar “Rivals” games also point out that AI/custom/practice modes typically do not give XP, while standard PvP matches do.

Best ways to gain XP

  • Play standard PvP matches instead of AI, custom, or practice modes.
  • Finish objectives or quests tied to XP, since those often give more than raw match grinding.
  • If the game has a faster mode like Conquest, that can be a stronger XP-per-minute option because matches end quicker.
  • Stack wins where possible, since many reward systems scale better when you perform well and win often.

What players usually do

  • Grind the quickest normal mode available.
  • Knock out XP objectives first.
  • Avoid wasting time in modes that do not progress XP.
  • Push toward end-of-season rewards, when games often add extra XP sources.

Simple route

  1. Queue the fastest PvP mode you can reliably finish.
  2. Prioritize win rate over risky plays.
  3. Complete any XP objectives alongside your matches.
  4. Skip modes that don’t award XP.
  5. Check for seasonal XP bonuses or event tasks.

If by “Rivals” you meant a specific game, the best XP method can change a lot, but the usual pattern is: play the fastest real match mode, win often, and clear objectives.
