Archetype upgrades in FC 27 The Grounds require AXP (Archetype XP). To quickly earn AXP, you first need to lock in a main Archetype, then use it to play various matches and complete Objectives. While playing matches, you can also use AXP boost items to increase your earning efficiency.
Fastest leveling method breakdown
Lock in one main Archetype and don't switch constantly
AXP is used to develop your current Archetype. Try to prioritize leveling one main position. Early resource gains are very limited, so don't waste them on other positions.
Prioritize completing Objectives
The Grounds Objectives have rich rewards, including a lot of AXP and AXP Consumables. These can speed up your Archetype leveling.
Use AXP Multipliers together
When you're about to use your main Archetype in several competitive matches in a row, use an AXP Boost before the first match to get the most value out of your limited boosted matches.
If you get a Direct AXP Consumable, just use it right away. Don't save it. Different consumables have different level use caps, so use them before you hit the cap.
Fast leveling loop explained
If your goal is to quickly raise your main Archetype's level, you can follow this order:
- Check Objectives and prioritize activities that complete multiple objectives at once
- Activate AXP Boost and play through the number of matches the Boost covers
- Use any Direct AXP Consumables you get right away
- After reaching a level, keep using higher-level-cap AXP Consumables
Which modes give AXP?
Street Football and quick matches on the pitch give a small amount of AXP, while limited-time events, Club Tournaments, Playoffs, and other competitive matches give more rewards.
Based on AXP earning efficiency, here's the recommended mode priority:
Club Playoffs - highest priority
Playoffs and Club Tournaments give higher rewards. If there are playoffs or limited-time events available, prioritize them.
Club Tournaments - secondary priority
Also high-priority content. Especially when there are event objectives, you can earn AXP + Objectives rewards at the same time, so the efficiency is also very high.
Rush - regular priority
Earning efficiency isn't as good as the two above, but it's stable, can be played anytime, and the match pressure is much lower.
Street Football / Kickabouts - special fallback
Recommended when you don't want to play Clubs matches, are waiting for teammates, or want to quickly complete specific Objectives. The amount earned is smaller, but the time spent is also very low.
Regular 11v11 League - not recommended
AXP earning efficiency is very low, and other rewards aren't rich enough either. But match pressure is the lowest, making it great for new players to quickly get used to Clubs gameplay and controls.
You can choose from the above 5 priority tiers based on your preference. If you play solo, Rush is recommended. If you have a regular club squad, Playoffs / Club Tournaments are recommended.
Which Objectives are most worth doing?
If your goal is to grind AXP to quickly level up your Archetype, prioritize objectives that directly reward AXP and those with AXP Consumable rewards.
Beyond that, choose objectives you can complete naturally in your favorite modes, so grinding levels doesn't feel boring.
