== 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.

{{block|!| content=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.
