A Skilled commander.
Icon_reward_Crew.png

Special commanders perform the same functions as standard commanders, but have additional bonuses or traits that make them different from their freely-recruited counterparts. Thus a Special commander has a fixed portrait and name. They may be earned via in-game participation, for instance as a reward for a set of event missions or at the end of a lengthy campaign. Many are now available in the Armory.

A Talented commander.

An WoWs_icon_modernization_special.png Enhanced Skill is a common skill that any commander may have, but with an enhanced effect. The commander must acquire the skill for the effect to be enhanced. All commanders available through the Armory come with at least 10 skill points.

A Talent is an ability similar to a very powerful skill that activates in unusual circumstances. Talents will not activate during a Clan Battle or in a Training Room. Some talents are activated by earning an achievement that can only be earned in Random or Ranked battles.

A Skilled commander is a special commander with Enhanced Skills.

A Talented commander is a special commander with Talents. All Talented commanders are also Skilled commanders. Talented commanders are commonly called Legendary commanders. They may also be known as Heroic or Historic.

Talented or Legendary commanders do not allow themselves to be dismissed.

Players can have only one copy of each Skilled or Talented commander.

A Historic commander is the World of Warships commemoration of a commander who existed in world history. He may have enhanced skills, or talents, or neither.

Skilled and Talented commanders have a star before their names. Talented commanders are displayed with a gold starIcon_commander_name_unique.png, a gold name, and in the commanders screens, a gold portrait background. Skilled commanders are displayed with a white starIcon_commander_name_enhanced.png and a sky blue background. Other special commanders have a haze gray background with no star.

World of Warships has adopted a set of terms for special commanders that is not descriptive. These are the terms that appear in the game client:
  • Unique Commander — same as a Talented commander.
  • Seasoned Commander — same as a Skilled commander.
  • Special Commander — a special but unskilled commander (one that has no talents or enhanced skills.
