Key features of the new system
Ranked Battles seasons are now going to be held on a regular basis with short breaks between each one. This will mean that you will always be able to choose between Random, Co-op, and Ranked Battles in the Port screen, as the latter battle type will be more regularly available.
The higher the league, the better the rewards. You can progress through the Bronze League at a smooth and leisurely pace. The Silver League will require more effort, but offers bigger rewards. Seasoned sea wolves will be able to collect the most impressive haul of rewards in the Gold League.
Demonstrate your skills in the qualification, during which you'll fight against players from the next league to determine whether you'll progress to the next league or stay in your current one. Please note: if you qualify for the next league, you won't be able return to the previous one until the end of the season.
Rewards are granted for achieving victories, reaching Rank 1 in a league, and qualifying for a new league.
Ranked Battles aren't available at night. This is necessary to ensure high-quality matchmaking.
Season Structure
Each season is divided into several sprints. The duration of a single sprint is approximately 1–3 weeks, and this may differ from season to season.
There are three leagues in the first Season: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
In order to enter the next league, you need to reach Rank 1 in your current league and then qualify.
During a single sprint, players can only progress through their current league and qualify for the next one.
If you don't manage to qualify for the next league, you'll start the new sprint in your current league at the lowest rank of this league. All the rewards will be available to collect again.
If you qualify for the next league, you'll start the new sprint in that next league with the lowest rank of that league.
After achieving Rank 1 in the Gold League, you can continue fighting only in the next sprint in the Gold League. You will start with the lowest rank and be able to collect all the rewards again.
Qualification is a special rank. To qualify and move up to the next league, you need to collect a certain number of Stars. You cannot drop to the preceding ranks during qualification.
Battles in a particular league are fought between only the players in that league. However, during the qualification, battles are fought according to the rules of the next league, and involve those who are trying to qualify for the higher league and the Captains of that higher league.
Rewards
The rewards are refreshed and updated for each new sprint and can be collected again—fight in your preferred league over and over again, and you'll collect rewards every time.
Steel hasn't gone anywhere: achieve victories, reach Rank 1, and accrue it to spend on items you desire in the Armory.
Doubloons are granted as a reward in each league: the higher the league, the more doubloons you can get.
The Bronze, Silver and Gold expendable camouflages are granted as rewards in the corresponding leagues.
The “Jolly Roger—Bronze League,” “Jolly Roger—Silver League,” and “Jolly Roger—Gold League” achievements are granted once per season for achieving Rank 1 in the corresponding leagues.
