Golden Tides Arrive: New Ships and Commander Guises
Captains, a new special event is coming to Legends, inspired by the cultural legacy of the Middle East and North Africa! This is your chance to explore unique new ships and recruit daring characters as Commander guises. The Golden Tides event runs from September 8 to October 6. Get ready!
Ships
Check out five new ships with stunning, unique looks! Four of them—Sharki, Mahtaga, Mirage, and Kheper—are available in the Store and via Sunduq crates, while the fifth, Desert Falcon, can be obtained exclusively through the "On Golden Tides" DLC. We'll dive into the details of both the Sunduq crates and the DLC later in this article. For now, here's a closer look at each new ship:
Sharki
A stunning exterior hides the danger within this mysterious vessel. Sharki is a German Legendary Tier destroyer based on Z-52, with the same parameters. She features a solid HP pool, some of the highest AP shell damage among destroyers of her tier, respectable torpedoes, and improved Sonar.
Mahtaga
Adorned in searing gold, this giant moves with the strength of a storm. Mahtaga is a Soviet Tier VIII Premium battleship based on Navarin. She boasts excellent concealment and impressive secondary battery range, making her highly effective in close-range encounters.
Note that Navarin received a few changes in this update, which also apply to Mahtaga:
- Total HP has increased from 69,400 to 72,500
-
The Repair Party consumable has been updated:
- Citadel damage repairs have improved from 10 to 30%
- Restored HP has increased from 0.5% to 1.12% per second
- Consumable duration has decreased from 28 to 20 s
Mirage
Gliding like a golden mirage, this serene beauty turns into a storm when enemies draw near. Mirage is an Italian Tier VII Premium cruiser based on Amalfi. She is primarily focused on torpedo damage, enhanced by the Torpedo Reload Booster. She's also equipped with the Exhaust Smoke Generator, allowing for creative tactics.
Here's how Mirage differs from Amalfi:
- Torpedo Reload Booster has been added to the consumable slot with Repair Party
- Torpedo movement speed has increased from 51 to 62 knots
- Detectability range by sea has improved from 11.37 to 11.17 km
- Main battery firing range has reduced from 15.4 to 14.6 km
- The Sure Shot ship trait was replaced with Repeater
Kheper
This ship's design is inspired by the "kheper," or scarab, an ancient symbol of rebirth and transformation. Kheper is a U.S. Tier VI Premium battleship based on North Carolina, sharing the same parameters. She's equipped with nine 16-inch (406 mm) guns and boasts some of the highest AP shell damage at her tier.
Desert Falcon
Like a falcon soaring across the endless skies, this ship moves through the sea with strength and grace. Desert Falcon is a Japanese Tier IV Premium cruiser based on Furutaka, with identical characteristics. She boasts some of the highest HE damage among Tier IV cruisers and is armed with powerful 8-inch (203 mm) guns.
Commander Guises
Just like the new ships, the new Commander guises can be found in Sunduq crates and in the Store. Time to meet them!
