Master invisibility, illusions, time jumps, and lightning strikes to enemy tanks. These mystical abilities that break the laws of the universe are available now in the new Uprising battle type.

Harness them and make your combat capabilities almost unlimited!



There are 16 abilities featured in Uprising. They can be divided into two types:

• Active abilities that you can enable yourself when you see fit by tapping the Abilities button in battle
  
• Passive abilities that work permanently from the moment you join the battle.

In Uprising, every tank possesses one active ability depending on the vehicle class. Generally speaking, light and medium tanks feature Shadow or Time Jump, heavies use Play Dead or Dust Devil, while tank destroyers have Hunter's Mark or Blood Trail.

Elixir earned in battle can get you ten more passive abilities. You can select them from three random options as you wait to return to battle:



The acquired passive abilities work permanently during battle even after the vehicle has been destroyed and returned to battle.

Some passive abilities are available in two variants: standard (Grade I) and a more expensive and enhanced one (Grade II).

The more Elixir you accumulate, the more abilities you can get.



The stock of Elixir is being constantly accumulated during battle. To earn more Elixir, you need to perform useful actions in battle. For example, deal damage, destroy enemy vehicles, or perform the scout role.

Effects from different abilities can add up and complement one another. For example, adding the Doubleshot ability to Chain Lightning will enable you to attack three opponents at once and with double the speed. Create your own strikingly powerful combination of abilities and unleash them upon your enemies!

As the Hunter's moon rises in the sky, the wind sings its mournful song. In times like this, the line between life and death becomes thinner and the laws of the universe begin to crack. But the battle must go on!

Test your skill in the new Uprising battle type. Unleash your tanks' mystical abilities upon the enemy and continue the fight even after being destroyed!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKLyLSerztY
In Uprising, the destruction of a tank does not mean the end of the battle. On the contrary, combat is in full swing! During each battle, your tank can respawn twice, becoming even stronger and more dangerous than before. But don't get too comfortable. If your tank is destroyed a third time, you're out.

After each respawn, your tank becomes invisible and receives a major speed boost for ten seconds. Go full speed towards the spot of your destruction and wreak vengeance on the opponent who tried to send you to the Garage!

Please note that respawns and abilities available in the new battle type will enable you to cause more damage, which will pay off in increased credit earnings. However, the cost of repairs will also increase because in each battle, your tank can be destroyed several times.

In Uprising, special mystical abilities that change the laws of the universe will be at your disposal. Harness them to make your combat potential almost unlimited!

Caught in a trap and received damage? Just rewind time.

Spotted an enemy tank? Turn invisible and strike from behind.

Found yourself surrounded? Rush off at inconceivable speed!



In Uprising battles, each tank features one permanent ability depending on your vehicle's type. Ten more abilities can be purchased in battle using the accumulated Elixir.

More details about all abilities used in the Uprising battle type can be found here.

Elixir is gradually accumulated throughout the whole battle. Your effective actions in battle, such as causing damage or spotting enemy vehicles, will earn you even more Elixir, which will allow you to purchase more abilities.

• CIS: from October 18, 08:00 (MSK) through November 2, 08:00 (MSK)

What have I done?! No, no... How could that happen?!

Just yesterday, these piles of debris around me were tanks. Safe, sound, and brimming with energy. But now, even their creators wouldn't recognize them. They're turned inside out, bleeding fuel and oil, their tracks in tatters, pieces of wires sticking out from blown off turrets. I did it. For I am the vehicle Lycan And you better run away from me as fast as you can!

Complete missions, use special boosters, and earn Glyphs. They will help you decipher the Folio's pages and upgrade its level. Reach level 45 and you will become the master of the Lycan. I will fiercely fight under your command and earn you countless victories!

https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791456015721/announcements/detail/1580126850048411458


At level 60, the Folio will grant you an ancient armor created specifically for the Lycan. From the moment I don this red leather plate armor with metal containing enchanted inscriptions, I receive Lycan Knight as my battle name. At the mere sight of me, enemies will die in horror a thousand times over even before I start firing and ripping them to shreds!

I see that you firmly believe you can subdue me. But first, you have to fully understand the kind of power you are dealing with... Just look at my characteristics.

I've been blessed with steel fangs and solid armor that easily bounces off shells, and my sides are covered with paw-screens. My turret is a wolf's face with a thick screen on its very front. My tenacious clawed tracks tear into the ground and armor of the poor devils on my way with the same ease. My engine of a heart fills me with inexhaustible energy. My gun sows doom and destruction.

I'm also very tenacious. My internal modules and the gun are almost completely invulnerable to being knocked out or even damaged in the slightest. I can be destroyed, but I won't let the enemy out of my death grip until my last dying breath!



I wasn't always like that. In a past life, I was a “John Doe tank”. I was one of those whose name and appearance you would forget within five minutes of encountering. Then everything changed when night fell on Alpenstadt.

At the very start of the battle, I was slow and fell behind my team. Only a moment ago, the dark streets were overflowing with tanks, but now I'm alone. And I was scared. Something was hammering the cobblestones. I thought it could be the horrible Tankenstein creeping up to get me. Or it could have been the Gravedigger who saw me as its next client. A quick shadow darted past the alley. Was it the Dracula circling me?



In a panic, I took off running without looking back, stopping only once I found myself in a dense forest. There was a book shrouded in an unearthly light, waiting for me among the trees. And a whisper, speaking inside my turret almost inaudibly: "You'll never be just another tank. You'll never feel scared again. They will all fear you, and everyone will beg for mercy. Take my gift!"

And I agreed.

It felt like a thousand shells struck my armor in a flash, the edges of my optics colored by a reddish haze. I did obtain incredible power, but... control belonged to someone else! An invisible commander took the maximum from my engine and sent me back into battle. I could only watch my performance in disbelief. I was achieving numbers I had only ever dreamed about!



Infused with magic, the engine accelerated me to 20 km/h within a mere 2-3 seconds, and within 5-6 seconds to 30 km/h, and in 8-10 seconds, I was already pushing my limit at 35 km/h. I rammed into a light tank at full speed. The poor fellow almost flipped head over tracks while I didn't lose a single hit point. It tried to run circles around me, but my turret quickly turned and caught the enemy in its sights. What a shot! The enemy’s turret flew high into the air!

While I was busy with the little guy, more serious opponent showed up. The IS and Tiger's shells hit my front, but the sloped 100 mm of "pike nose" armor withstood everything they could throw at me! I was ordered to move closer. My new gun was clearly intended for close-range combat. The retaliatory 400 HP shot forced the enemies back into cover.



Heeding my new master's will, I rolled behind the hillside. It proved a smart decision. The vulnerable lower armor plate was now well-protected. It was unbelievable! And with my 10-degree gun depression angle, I could use the turret to block damage. It's small, easily deflects shells, and has very few weak spots. Almost the whole of the turret front is shielded with an 80 mm screen . Good luck to those who try to pierce it!

At the same time, I have no problem penetrating armor. 175 mm is not the highest value, but it's just enough to easily bite through the skin of any enemy on my tier! Look who's emerged from cover. Nice of you to join the party, heavies. Fire! One down! And while 15 seconds of reloading tick by, my tracks bite into the cobblestone ground, shortening the distance between me and my second opponent. One more final point-blank shot and the second heavy became scrap metal. No one survived the city. Except for me, the Lycan...



The initial shock of what happened faded away, and with time, I recalled more details of these events. I had been turned into a ferocious machine of destruction by the Folio, compelling me to mercilessly destroy everyone in my way. I didn't mind. I liked my new appearance. Only a fool would refuse such power.

Once again, the sun's going down, and my senses become more acute. I hear other tanks' engines roaring from many kilometers away. To me their tracks are like an open book. I'll do everything in my power to save them from myself. I’ll lock myself in the Garage and throw away the key. I'll dump my fuel, remove the tracks, and unload the ammunition. But the Lycan will go hunting anyway. The poor buggers will have to run for the hills wishing for the night to end before I overtake them!

The hunter's moon Folio is a forbidden book with its own will. Complete missions and earn ancient Glyphs to decipher the Folio’s pages and unlock its new levels.

The Nightmare used to be a simple StuG III that ferociously fought against the sinister Folio's creations until it was overwhelmed by its dark influence. The hunter's moon power changed the tank destroyer: it received a gun of insuperable power and strong side screens. As for its appearance... The presence of the Nightmare on the battlefield puts terror into the hearts of enemies and makes them run away in fear!



Just like the Nightmare, the Lycan used to be a regular battle vehicle before it was affected by the ancient Folio and transformed into a fierce predator. Its appearance took on wolf-like features, its armor became stronger, the gun gained more power, and its internal modules are now close to invulnerable. Each Hunter's moon, the Lycan goes after its victims, ready to relentlessly destroy anyone in its way!

The E 75 TS boasts a thick sloped front, side screens, and an extremely strong turret. Its fast-firing gun inflicts high damage per minute, aims quickly, and strikes its target accurately. This even-keeled German juggernaut rips the enemy defense open like a tin can! Get the superheavy E 75 TS, demolish your foes, and earn lots of credits!

Through October 25, you'll find two bundles in the Store: one with the E 75 TS and a Garage slot and one with a complete set featuring a fully-equipped E 75 TS with the Eagle Legendary camouflage and Underwater Menace Legendary avatar.

This warpaint represents the predatory nature of the E 75 TS at its finest. The tank keeps a watchful eye on the battlefield, patiently stalking before single-mindedly chasing its prey. It strikes with pinpoint accuracy and in cold blood, digging its deadly claws into the victim's armor.



The Eagle Legendary camouflage costs 1,450 gold, is effective on all map types, does not require replenishment, and changes the tank's name in battle to the E 75 TS Eagle. Attack the enemy like a merciless predator!

Is it that irrepressible? Strong armor? How much? And what about the fast-firing gun? For answers to these and other questions, check the precise numbers of the E 75 TS stats.

The E 75 TS is first and foremost durable armor. Its upper armor plate and turret front are almost invulnerable for standard shells of medium tanks and most Tier VIII heavies. The enemy will need at least 245 mm of penetration to damage the turret front, while the upper armor plate will be a tough nut to crack for even most Tier X guns!

The weak spot is the tank's lower armor plate. It can be easily penetrated, so whenever possible, hide behind cover or destroyed tanks. The terrain can also help. The 10-degree gun depression angle allows the E 75 TS to play in the American style. If there is no such opportunity, then approach your opponent head-on! When going toe-to-toe, the guns of most enemies simply cannot reach the lower armor plate, while the E 75 TS penetrates the defenseless top of the enemy's turret.



Another way for the E 75 TS to block damage is to sidescrape behind cover. In this position, the lower armor plate is hidden and the 120 mm side with its 15 mm shield is perfectly sloped for ricocheting. It's the perfect situation. You deal damage while taking none! The only drawback to this tank is that the front of its suspension can sometimes be penetrated, so it's better for you not to stay in the same place for a long time. Also, remember to always keep a Repair Kit on you.

The gun of the E 75 TS deals 2,086 damage per minute, among the best rates for Tier VIII heavy tanks. Combined with provisions and equipment, the E 75 TS can deal damage up to 2,400 HP! When you take aim at your opponent, its HP will melt as quickly as ice cream on a hot day!

The E 75 TS penetrates the hulls of most Tier VIII heavies with ease in spite of its modest 215 mm of penetration. However, it may experience some difficulties when dealing with the Tiger II or Tier IX vehicles. In this case, use APCR shells.

The gun of the E 75 TS features high accuracy, quick aiming, and small reticle dispersion when moving and turning the hull or the turret. Combined with strong armor, this means you'll be able to unleash the full potential of the E 75 TS' impressive firepower: play aggressively, hit frequently, and achieve penetration even when moving at full speed!

The engine of the E 75 TS has a difficult task to perform. It needs to move a huge 85-ton machine! It huffs and puffs, using all 780 horsepower to work, but it copes with its task with dignity, accelerating the tank to 20 km/h in 4-5 seconds and to 30 km/h in 10 seconds.

A price must be paid for the armor of the E 75 TS, which is its low power-to-weight ratio and slow chassis. A close encounter with a quick maneuverable tank may prove to be fatal. Use Improved Control or Engine Accelerator and take Standard or Improved Fuel when going into battle, and then enable Engine Power Boost when carouselling. Everything that can increase engine power or hull traverse speed also increases your chances of survival.



Such a heavy mass has its pros for the E 75 TS. If you happen to meet an unfortunate, lightly armored fellow on your way, just ram it without remorse! Successful ramming will deprive the opponent of 100-350 HP. You won't be able to resist laughing maniacally when a careless light tank explodes after bumping into you!

The E 75 TS was made for fighting face-to-face on the frontline with the most dangerous opponents. It's an armored wedge that you can force through the enemy's defense shell by shell, breaking through and paving the way to victory for your allies and yourself.

Welcome the new hero of the Valkyria Chronicles! The state-of-the-art imperial tank Vulcan] has arrived in World of Tanks Blitz straight from the epicenter of European War II. This well armed and perfectly armored combat vehicle will intimidate your enemies and tear them to pieces!

Until October 18, bundles featuring the brand-new Vulcan, as well as the iconic Edelweiss, Lupus, Nameless, and Hafen, are available in the Premium Store.

The Vulcan bears a very strong resemblance to German tank destroyers, despite the fact that it has a solid turret instead of casemate.



The first thing you notice about the Vulcan (characteristics) is its reliable armor. The front of the turret is 155 mm thick, while the hull is 160 mm. The sides are less armored, but still pretty impressive due to the protective shielding. Despite being quite well-armored, the Vulcan requires wise combat tactics. Its front is thick, but not invulnerable. To make sure you’ll live to the end of the battle, avoid open areas and use cover.

Although the Vulcan is a heavy tank, it is quite speedy for its class. The 900 hp engine and high specific power guarantee good dynamics. This vehicle can accelerate to 36 km/h and maintain its speed well. Additionally, the tank boasts great maneuverability as the Vulcan acts quickly and accurately, making it perfectly suited for dynamic second-line combat.



The new imperial “heavy” is armed with a 110 mm gun. Its penetration indicators are equal to the Nameless. However, the Vulcan’s AP and APCR shells deal more damage per shot at 350 HP and 290 HP respectively. That's enough to make enemies think twice before approaching.

This combination of solid armor, a powerful gun, and good maneuverability will let you support the offensive, break through enemy lines, and reduce anyone who gets in your way to ashes.

In Valkyria Chronicles, the Vulcan is in the service of the 502nd Imperial Heavy Tank Battalion, better known by its unit name Ausbruch. Its commanding officer was Lieutenant Colonel Klaus Walz. The tank was named after the Roman equivalent of the Greek god, the smith Hephaestus, who was associated with fire in all its aspects, including forges, metalworking, and volcanoes.

Common Warpaints


Heatwave


Tree Bark

Despite their placid names, these two summer camos will throw off the enemy team. Wear them for a realistic battle and the enemy will have a hard time trying to pinpoint you in the thickets or on a grassy terrain.
Resupply cost: 50–3,000 credits depending on the vehicle tier.


Winter Steppe


Ice Mosaic

These two cold, harsh, and stately winter warpaints for the European Nation tanks will send shivers down your enemies' spine. An excellent choice for snowy maps such as Faust and Dead Rail.
Resupply cost: 50–3,000 credits depending on the vehicle tier.


Sun-scorched


Bronze Green

These are two camouflages designed for desert locations. Install them on your tank to make every sand dune or a rocky hill on the map your faithful ally!
Resupply cost: 50–3,000 credits depending on the vehicle tier.

Legendary Warpaints


The Furious Legendary camouflage for the P.44 Pantera European Nation tank.
This stylish warpaint gives the P.44 Pantera the look of a race car. All the more reason to rush to victory at maximum speed!
Cost: 1,450 gold


The Gladiator Legendary camouflage for the Progetto M40 mod. 65 European Nation tank.
One look at the Gladiator warpaint colors is enough to show that this fighter has countless victories and mountains of fallen enemies under its tracks. Install the camouflage on the Progetto M40 mod. 65 and let your glory shine!
Cost: 2,550 gold

New Warpaints


The Area 52 Rare camouflage is a predatory and somewhat “unearthly” warpaint. Install it on your tank and, in the eyes of opponents, you'll transform into an alien beast on the hunt!
Cost: 65–750 gold depending on the vehicle tier.


On the Golden Carp Rare camouflage, the silhouettes of fish against the black background look stylish and picturesque, like an artist’s canvas and not tank armor. In other words, it's not a warpaint but a work of art!
A fancy tank deserves a stylish camo!
Cost: 65–750 gold depending on the vehicle tier.
