What Are Ranked Battles?

Ranked Battles are an opportunity to demonstrate your tactics against opponents and be rewarded for your success. During a Season, tankers hone their skills by trying to place in the highest League before the Season ends for bragging rights and rewards!

Player performance and the outcome of battles in Ranked Battles will earn or lose points counted towards ranking. You can move up in Leagues, but you will not be demoted to lower Leagues.

Combat takes place in solo 7v7 battles on selected maps using only the Standard Battle game mode.

In Ranked Battles, you won't be charged for tank repairs, so you will see increased Silver earnings compared to battles in Multiplayer. Plus, during this season, in every battle that you either deal 500+ damage, assist in 500+ damage by detecting enemies, or detect 2+ vehicles, you'll receive double the Silver !

At the end of the Season, you will earn a medal and rewards based on the League you managed to reach.



League-Based Matchmaking
