Captains, Ranked Battles are returning for three seasons in this summer update—let's take a look at the details!

A quick reminder about how Ranked Battles work—your goal is to win battles, earn Stars, and rise up through the ranks. You keep your Star if you finish as the best player on your team in terms of gained XP in a lost battle. A draw counts as a loss for both teams. 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: crates, Commander Progression Items, days of Premium Account, and Steel (up to 1,200; up to 1,100 for season 42)! You can see the distribution in the infographics, broken down into corresponding season sections—the better you do, the more prizes you’ll receive! Please note: Except for the 200 Steel for reaching Rank 3 that is distributed after the season ends, the prizes are distributed upon hitting the corresponding ranks.
