Arena returns with three seasons and the debut of Tier VIII—it's time to fight! What's more, the "warriors' planet" will help you with this task: use the code E1JP881KTC at https://wowslegends.com/code-redeemer/ to get the Mars patch. Let's check out the exact framework of the three seasons for this update!

This time around, Arms Race bonuses are active again with a small but significant exception: HP Regeneration is not in the pool of available upgrades. Otherwise, the system remains the same: Three waves of buffs spawn on the map at certain moments throughout each battle, always at similar distances to each team's spawn points. The buff effects benefit the whole team and can be stacked, so don't treat them carelessly!

The list of the bonuses now looks like this:

1. Main battery gun reload speed — +10% single stack; +33% at six
2. Consumable cooldown speed — +10% single stack; +40% at six
3. Rudder-shift speed — +20% single stack; +60% at six

One more important thing to mention—in case the battle timer runs its course, the side with the most enemy ships sunk is declared the winner. This rule can create situations where a team can win even having lost all of its ships!

As usual, TheSailingRobin will provide you with two best ship options in his opinion for each of the seasons, one Premium and one Tech Tree. Let's proceed to the exact rules and timeframes!
