This update is special: everything is about the festive spirit, but your fellow Captains are still waiting for your presence atop the cold waves, and Ranked and Brawl seasons are the perfect place to have some fun and win prizes! Let's take a look at all of the seasons, with a full breakdown of the rules and prizes! Before getting into the details, let's remind ourselves how these modes work.

In Ranked, 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. Reaching Rank 1 makes you ineligible to play for the remainder of the season—it means that you're one of the best already, so let the other Captains play and stop sinking everyone!

Brawls allow 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 even the craziest ideas regarding possible Brawl scenarios—just reach out to us via our Discord or any other available means. 

Speaking of prizes, there's a solid variety of those: Steel, crates, Commander Progression Items, and more, depending on the mode you play and how well you perform. Now, let's take a look at full rules.
