"Element of Choice" Campaign Breakdown

Intro

Attention on deck! The Element of Choice campaign is on the horizon, and it will bring you a choice between two Tier VII ships as its milestone-100 reward: Pan-Asian Tier VII Premium destroyer Loyang or European Tier VII Premium destroyer Friesland! As a first for World of Warships: Legends, you will be able to choose between these two options and select the ship you would like to earn as your campaign completion reward. You will also have the option to subsequently purchase the other ship for 17,500 doubloons!
