May Update: Sea Giants

Captains, summer is just ahead! Let's prepare for it with the new update, shall we? But before we get stuck in, be sure to gear up with 6x Regia Marina camos: redeem the code B8P947NL2X at https://wowslegends.com/code-redeemer/. Not feeling ready to read all this text? Here's your TLDR:

Italian Destroyers in Early Access

It’s time to deliver a fresh line of ships for you to research so you can give our balance department some more numbers to crunch once you're done unleashing the beasts. These destroyers have a special Engine Boost consumable that’s more powerful than it is for other nations but also doesn't work as long. Additionally, the Exhaust Smoke Generator you know (and maybe love) from Italian cruisers is making its way into destroyers' arsenals. Finally, they are equipped with SAP shells in addition to HE ammunition, giving you an option to inflict reliable direct damage when required. We expect these new ships to be very competitive in 1v1 destroyer situations, but their visibility will hinder their performance if there are too many watchful eyes. Isolate your targets wherever possible and get out of dodge using your consumables if things get too hot. 

The new ships are available through crates that are sprinkled throughout the campaign and the new calendar (more on that later)! This time, however, you can also try your luck with random bundles: We'll tell you how this new way of acquiring items works in a dedicated article next week. 

Jötunn of the Seas Campaign

Ägir, the Norse giant who rules the seas, finds his name stamped on the steel armor of an impressive German cruiser project. The would-be O-class cruiser is armed with nine 12-inch (305 mm) guns housed in three turrets and a serving of 2x4 533 mm torpedo launchers, made to finish off those unfamiliar with the etiquette of keeping distance on the cold waves. Let's take a look at what goods you can acquire as campaign rewards, both with and without the Admiralty Backing. 

Rewards you can get without the Admiralty Backing: 

• 50x Common Boosters

Squadrone Sfuggente 5-Week Calendar

The final reward is the new Italian destroyer Commander, Carlo Bergamini, available during this update only through the calendar and arriving in your roster already promoted to Rank 7! We'll cover Squadrone Sfuggente in detail very soon in a special article.

Please note: the Daily Boost missions will not be available during this update for console players.

This feature isn’t yet available on mobile.

• Soviet destroyer Neustrashimy
• Italian cruiser Brindisi
• Italian battleship Lepanto
• Pan-European destroyer Småland

*As you can see, one more battleship still slipped through our nets. Oops!

New Ships of the Update

American Tier VII Premium battleship Constellation

Besides her beautiful name, this magnificent ship features torpedoes and the Radar consumable. Not bad for a battleship! She’ll be available in the Store starting May 22 on her own and as part of XL and XXL bundles. 

Italian Tier VI Premium Destroyer FR25

Exhaust Smoke Generator, SAP shells, and Engine Boost to top it off: A swift damage machine is at your service! This ship will be available in the Store starting June 5.

Pan-American battleship Commander Henrique Fernandes

He will be available through a special mission, that you'll get while purchasing Atlântico in the Store. Captains who already have Atlântico will receive the assignment automatically in the first days of the update. Keep an eye on our blog for the details!

Balance Changes

This batch of balance changes includes changes to various ships, including French battleships, as well as changes to Epic Modernizations and a major reshuffle of ship traits. Details are available in our latest Ministry of Balance article, but you probably spotted them already! 

We’ve also introduced new versions of higher tier maps that have been reworked for mid-tier battles. You should find five new scenarios to battle on from Tiers III to VI.

Bug Fixes

• Some Stellar Clash mode medals displayed incorrect titles in the Service Record.
• Izumo’s detectability after firing main guns was incorrectly shown as less than her detectability range by sea.

• Added missing “card flip” sound to various collection browsing actions.
• (mobile) When zooming in and out of epicenter circles on the Tactical Map, the circles did not scale up and down correctly.
• (mobile) Incorrectly colored textures sometimes popping up on damage-saturated ship parts.
• (mobile) Improved compatibility with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Android devices.
• (mobile) Repeated use of Smoke Generator sometimes didn’t produce an effect icon.

We're also delivering some new features for the mobile version of Legends. Those are:

• You can now log in to the game with Google services on iOS
• Service Record first iteration
