Ranked Battles: Winter Buzz

The winter holidays are just around the corner, and so are the new seasons of Ranked Battles: prepare for 5v5 combat with Tier VI–VIII ships and various rewards to honor your victories! 

Not sure how Ranked Battles work? Your goal is to win battles, earn Stars, and rise through the ranks. If you lose a battle, you also lose your Star, except when you’re the top XP earner on your team—in this case, you keep the Star. A draw means a loss for both teams. Once you reach Rank 1, you won't be able to play for the rest of the season. Just wait until the next season kicks off to demonstrate your skills anew! 

Below, you’ll find the rules and rewards for each new season. Most rewards are distributed immediately upon reaching certain ranks, with the exception of the 200 Steel rewarded for reaching Rank 3, which you’ll only receive after the season ends.
