Competitive Seasons of the Dragon

January 31, 2023

Captains, this time of the year offers plenty options for you to ignite those competitive spirits of yours! We're bringing as many as FIVE seasons of Ranked battles and Brawls in this update, with most of those extended in time, meaning that you'll have the option to fight in a Ranked battles or Brawl season on almost any given day of the update! Let's take a look at the details, starting with Ranked battles.

A quick reminder about how Ranked battles work—your goal is to win battles, earn Stars, and rise through the ranks. A draw counts as a loss for both players. Getting to Rank 1 makes you ineligible to play in the remainder of the season—it means that you’re one of the best already, so let people play and stop sinking everyone!

Now for the best thing—the prizes! Here are some of the rewards you can look forward to: Commander Progression Items, various crates, camos, and Steel (up to 1,200 for seasons 36–37 and up to 1,100 for season 38)! You can see the distribution in the infographics, broken down in corresponding season sections—the better you do, the more prizes you’ll get. Please note: Except for the 200 (300 for season 38) Steel given for reaching Rank 3 that is distributed out after the season ends, the prizes are distributed upon hitting the corresponding ranks.

Brawls return, too! With two seasons available this update, there's still plenty of time to compete, win prizes, and have fun with your battleships or destroyers!

Just a quick reminder of how the Brawl works: This game mode allows for a ton of various tweaks and shenanigans to make the gameplay as varied and unusual as it gets. Don't hesitate to send us feedback and even the craziest ideas regarding possible Brawl scenarios—just reach out to us via our Discord or any other available means. The Brawl comes in time-limited seasons, just like Arena and Ranked battles. One thing to keep in mind—it’s 3 vs. 3 with full Divisions allowed, but matchmaking only pairs Divisions against other Divisions. It’s time to show off your teamplay skills!

Let's proceed to the exact season details.
