User:Flawless noob/sandbox/Special Commanders

Special commanders perform the same functions as standard commanders, but have additional bonuses or traits that make them different from their freely-recruited counterparts. All special commanders have a fixed portrait and name.

A Skilled commander.

World of Warships has adopted a set of terms for special commanders that is not descriptive. These are the terms that appear in the game client:

Special commander

Special commanders can differ from common captains in that they sometimes have an unusual appearance and/or a distinctive voice. They have no special abilities.

Seasoned commander

An seasoned commander is a commander with enhanced skills. Therefore, players also refer to them as skilled commanders.

Unique commander

A Talented commander.

A unique commander is a commander with improved skills, talents, and personalizations. A talent is an ability that resembles a very powerful skill that is activated under certain circumstances. Talents will not activate during a clan battle or in a training room. Personalizations which can be enabled on the commanders skill screen are:

1. A broad pennant.
2. Colored shell tracers trails – Main gun tracers change to an alternative color. (Even the seasoned commander Alexander Ovechkin has this personalization option.)
3. Signal flare or Fireworks (Yamamoto and Halsey) when activating a talent.

Unique commanders cannot be dismissed. From the players they are also called legendary, talented or heroic commanders.

Seasoned and unique commanders have a star before their names. Talented commanders are displayed with a gold star, a gold name, and a gold portrait background. Skilled commanders are displayed with a white star and a sky blue background. Players can have only one copy of each seasoned and unique commander. They may be earned via in-game participation, for instance as a reward for a set of event missions or at the end of a lengthy campaign. Many are now available in the armory and have at least 10 skill points there.

Detailed breakdown of the Unique Commander Talents

Talents are abilities that resemble powerful skills, and they activate in battle under certain circumstances.

Several groups of battle types modify each talent. The group determines the activation conditions and effects, meaning they can vary for different battle types.

• Battle group 1 includes Random, Co-op, and Ranked Battles, as well as Brawls. Asymmetric Battles are also part of this group.
• Battle group 2 includes Operations.
• Battle group 3 includes battle types in which unique Commander talents are disabled: Clan and Training Battles.
