Ladder battle "Crimson Griffin" season
Hello Elders, I'm Anabel Cardo. Just yesterday, WG announced that the new ladder battle season "Crimson Griffin" will last from April 19th to May 28th, and I looked at it, this season WG has changed a lot of things, and it is actually a "test season" similar to the previous "Qualifying Season X", so there is no previous purple turbo reward. I know that there are many old men who are actually not interested in this mode, and are too lazy to read those tirade official website announcements, then in this issue I will quickly talk to you about how to play this mode, what is the use, what are the rewards, after all, no one can not go with the rewards, right?
Small talk about "ladder battle"
What is the model?
7V7, 7 cars per team
The ladder battle mainly has the following characteristics:
- 10v7 battles between level 7 tanks (7 people on one side)
- Collectible and Silver Tanks only (not with Gold Cars and Special Vehicles)
- No tank type restrictions (artillery can also be on)
- Matchmaking mechanism based on the player rank system in the mode (similar to ranking)
- It is possible to change tanks before the start of the battle
- Solo players, 2-player squads, and 7-player super squads can be played
- Modes of maps: Simersdorf, Ansk, Coast Fight, Westfield, Desert Town, Eri-Harrov, Phantom Town, Prague. Added Glacierland and El Alamein Airport
- Unique character abilities assigned based on combat roles
- Focus location and tactical capabilities based on the map
- Enable the fog of war mechanism (the opposite configuration is not visible before engagement)
- Earn prestige points by completing specific actions in battle
- Mode progress based on rating points
The map in Ladder Battle has undergone some special changes
For example, Eriharov can come down here
In general, ladder battles are another form of qualifying, and the two are highly similar but different. For example, you can even form a 7-person "Iron City" team and have a big battle with the 7 people on the opposite side, obviously the ranking can't let you play like this... Moreover, the mode exclusive map of Sky Ladder Battle has also undergone some detailed changes, which are different from the standard map.
This season has an arcade-like "modifier"
In order to make the combat intensity and player participation higher, WG also added an arcade-like "modifier" in this test season, that is, some attributes of the tank will change after entering the mode:
- The health of all tanks in Ladder Battle will be increased by 25%
- The cooling time for supplies will be reduced from 90 seconds to 45 seconds
WG hopes that "Battle modifiers will make ladder battles more exciting gameplay, and they will also make players more courageous to try more different tactics and operations." ”
Depending on the role positioning, the character skills are different
The ladder battle is the perfect embodiment of "WG teaches you to play the game" - WG added the previous set of "role division" to this mode, and the weight is quite high. All participating tanks are divided into different roles, such as assault type, etc., and WG adds different skills to them. For example, the five sticks are divided into breakthrough heavy tanks, WG gives it similar "battle inspiration" and other skills, while the IS-4 "assault type" gives skills such as adding blood. During this test season, WG adjusted some of the effects of character skills, which are detailed on the official website.
Special abilities or something
WG wants players to stick to their roles in battle and achieve the effect of performing their respective duties, so players must best behave in line with their character positioning during battle, so that they can increase reputation points and upgrade/charge skills. Skills are also divided into several levels, the higher the level, the stronger the effect - for example, the "add blood" skill of the assault type heavy tan, level 1 is 200 per second, and level 3 is 400 per second. Skills can only be used after charging, and the points come from your combat behavior, which is somewhat similar to the COD series' kill streak rewards, the harder you hit, the more rewards you have, from assault rifles to drones to shoot missiles/gunboats.
This skill requires a point to use
In addition to the skills such as motivation and blood addition, there are also skills such as shelling and full map illumination, which require the player to run to the gun position/radar station on the map to use. For example, when 2-3 people make a move in the later stage, a radar in your hand is released at a critical moment, and you can directly see where the enemy is, which suddenly takes the lead. And the biggest effect of shelling is to make the player squat, you shrink in one place and can't sell out? Well, direct artillery cover, blow you up too. In general, Ladder Battle is an alienated ranked match, and its game mode and combat performance are similar to ranked matches, so it can be played with the idea of ranked matches to a certain extent.
Rewards for ladder battles
Variable 2D style""
Because it is a test season, there is no purple turbo this season... Only that variable 2D style "wings and claws", it can change the appearance as the level increases, in addition to it also has badge decals and signatures, these should not care very much, after all, this is 2023 who still lacks this... There are also "pretending badges" and name tags hanging in front of the ID, as well as some miscellaneous items such as bonds.
Daily mission rewards
The purpose of WG Lane this test season is:
- “
- ··· We will introduce some of the ladder battle optimizations that players are looking forward to... I also want to test several new mechanics to make the gameplay of Ladder Battle more varied and interesting... We'll continue to collect data and develop the next season with qualifying, which kicks off this fall..."
That is, in essence, it is still to collect data and prepare for the official ladder battle in the fall. I am Anabel, Cardo, always thinking about the vital interests of our players. If you like my car review, please also retweet and share the publicity to let more commanders go home.
