World of Tanks has opened the Year of the Phoenix Onslaught cycle, a three-season event featuring the Season of the Azure Phoenix. Players earn progress toward the Fireborn, an exclusive Tier X reward vehicle with a progressive 3D style that evolves as it levels up. The Fireborn comes with a unique crew that starts with the Brothers in Arms perk and enough XP to train two additional perks.
Rewards span medals, bonds, improved equipment, and customization options. Medals like Iron Phoenix, Bronze Phoenix, and higher tiers are awarded based on Onslaught Colors collected, while bonds can be spent on equipment, directives, and rare vehicles. Improved equipment includes items like the Stealth Exhaust Unit and Innovative Targeting, and players can unlock 2D styles such as "Undying Flame (Azure)" and "Undying Flame."
Gameplay changes accompany the event, including disabled Super Platoons, adjusted draw resolution rules, and new roles for light tanks. Night battles return on maps like Glacier and Sand River, introducing Points of Interest such as Observation Posts that launch Illumination Flares to reveal enemies. Weekly missions and leaderboard bonuses offer additional ways to earn rewards, with the season’s rental lineup featuring vehicles like the Centurion Action X and E 100.
