WoT: Onslaught Continues With the Season of the Crimson Griffin!

The Season of the Crimson Griffin: General Overview

After the debut Season of our new competitive mode, we took a short break to analyze your feedback and think about how to make Onslaught even more exciting. While we continue to develop this mode, we are ready to launch the Season of Crimson Griffin, running from April 19 through May 28.

In this Season, we want to introduce some improvements you’ve asked us to add to Onslaught. Also, we want to test several new mechanics aimed at making the Onslaught gameplay more diverse and enjoyable. And, of course, we want to provide you with your favorite competitive mode and let you enjoy glorious victories! You’ll also have a chance to get your hands on exclusive customizations that we’ve added to the reward pool.

In the meantime, we will continue to collect statistics and are working on the next Season with qualification battles, which will kick off in the fall of 2023. We’re preparing some cool stuff for you, so stay tuned!

More Diverse Tactics and Dynamic Battles!

Our aim is to introduce more variety and excitement to the Onslaught gameplay. To achieve this, we’ve reworked vehicle Role Skills. We’ll also be testing two special combat modifiers during the Common Test. But first things first.

Vehicle Role Skills Reworking

We’ve reworked several vehicle Role Skills in Onslaught. All vehicle role skills are now easier to charge. Additionally:

Skill cooldown time from the start of each battle
Some skills are now available from the start of each battle
Some skills have changed the principle of work, for example, Inspire affects all allied vehicles on the battlefield

Check out the changes.

Role Skills Rebalancing

VEHICLE CLASS	ROLE SKILL	CHANGES
Assault Medium Tanks	Fury	In addition to existing bonuses, Fury now provides your vehicle with a gun stabilization bonus.
Versatile Medium Tanks	Inspire	Inspire now applies to you and all allied vehicles on the map.
Breakthrough Heavy Tanks	One for All	When activated, One for All now increases the major qualification level of the player’s crew, depending on the number of allied vehicles of other roles in battle. The major qualification level increases for each unique role of the allied vehicles in battle. (For example, if there are two assault heavy tanks in battle, you receive only one bonus.)
Support Heavy Tanks	Focus on the Target	At the start of the battle, Focus on the Target will now be at charge level one.
Sniper Tank Destroyers	Bullseye	If your vehicle is not spotted during the duration of Bullseye and at the moment of firing, the base value of the average damage now increases by N%.
Support Tank Destroyers	Second Wind	At the start of the battle, Second Wind will now be at charge level one.
Versatile Light Tanks	Recon Flight	At the start of the battle, Recon Flight will now be at charge level one.

Considering the increased effectiveness of vehicle Role Skills in battle, in order to maintain the pace of combat, we want to test special combat modifiers that will be added to Onslaught during the Common Test period.

Combat Modifiers

Reworked vehicle Role Skills, as well as combat modifiers tested during the Common Test, will add more variety and excitement to the Onslaught gameplay. They will also allow you to try out more different tactics and maneuvers.

There will be two combat modifiers, as follows:

The HP pools of all vehicles eligible for Onslaught will be increased by 25%
Consumables cooldown time will be reduced from 90 seconds to 45 seconds

During the Common Test, Onslaught will feature two combat modifiers. They increase vehicles’ HP pools and reduce the cooldown time of consumables. We will collect data and consider your feedback before deciding whether to make these mechanics permanent. If they are well received, they will be included in the upcoming Onslaught Season. However, if you don’t find these modifiers useful, we will not introduce them.

This test is important, and your help is crucial, so please join this experiment and share your opinions!

Weekly Combat Missions

The Season of the Crimson Griffin brings two lines of rewards. The progression system of the first reward line remains unchanged and includes brand-new customization items that we’ve prepared especially for the Season of the Crimson Griffin. To grab these distinctive status symbols, you need to advance through the Ranked System.

But in the second reward line, instead of progression for a certain number of victories, you will now have a system with a set of consecutive weekly combat missions.

With the start of the Season, five simple missions become available to you. All missions are completed consecutively, one after another, and for each completed mission, you will receive useful in-game rewards. At the end of the weekly period, your progress is reset, and a new set of the same missions with the same rewards will become available. The list of missions is updated on Monday.
