Update 0.8.11.1
Ranked Sprint: Tier VIII Duels
Brace yourselves for heated naval action in a new Ranked Sprint that will be fought with Tier VIII ships in a one-on-one format.
If you haven’t yet participated in a Ranked Sprint and want to know more about them, our article will answer your questions.
Commanders, please, note, that now it will be possible to complete economic missions of the Directives 1-6 in Ranked Sprint.
Key Rules
For the first time in our game, you can demonstrate your skills in a real duel. You’re in for a short and dynamic Season of Ranked Battles in a 1 vs. 1 format with Tier VIII ships.
But what makes a Ranked Sprint different from a regular Ranked Battles season? The answer is simple: a easier competition format with a reduced duration. The new Sprint will run for only 1 week, with all Ranks and Stars being irrevocable. For participating in the Sprint, you can obtain a huge number of signals and 500,000 credits. The reward for achieving Rank 1 is 10,000 Coal for use in the Armory.
Season starts: Fri. Dec. 27 6:00 AM PT / your local time: Fri. Dec. 27 8:00 AM
Season ends: Fri. Jan. 03 5:30 AM PT / your local time: Fri. Jan. 03 7:30 AM
- Only Tier VIII ships are allowed in these battles.
- Battles are held in a 1 vs. 1 format.
