Meet the Fireborn

The Year of the Phoenix introduces a new set of annual rewards for the most dedicated Commanders. Progress through all three seasons to earn valuable prizes, culminating in the Fireborn—an exclusive Tier X reward vehicle, a copy of the BZ-75.

It comes with a unique crew with Brothers in Arms as a zero perk and enough XP to train two more perks. The Fireborn also features a stunning progressive 3D style.


Seasonal Rewards

Every battle brings you closer to valuable rewards. Climb through the Onslaught ranks to earn bonds, customization items, and the progressive "Undying Flame (Azure)" 2D style, along with plenty of other prizes.
