How Rank Works

Auto-updated. Your rank refreshes automatically whenever your trophy total changes - no action needed.

One-way progression. Trophies only go up. Every rank you reach is permanent - poor games never hurt your standing.

10 paths to rank up. Improve score, XP, equipment, achievements, arena points - any combination feeds your trophy total. See the Trophies guide.

Path to General

General requires 1,200 trophies. Here is the fastest route through the four phases:

Phase 1 - Enlisted
0 → 300 trophies
Play ranked games daily. Complete every daily quest. Focus on Classic 4×4.
Phase 2 - NCO
300 → 600 trophies
Add score trophies and achievements. Push your best game above 10,000 pts.
Phase 3 - Officer
600 → 900 trophies
Level up equipment. Compete in Arena. Target Expert 6×6 high scores.
Phase 4 - Command
900 → 1200 trophies
Optimise every category. Push XP, win streaks, and endurance records.

Rank Progression Summary

  • Rank is your total trophy count - it can never decrease because trophies never drop.
  • Staff Sergeant (400+) unlocks Elite daily quests - harder objectives with 2× the coin and XP rewards.
  • Higher ranks also raise the ceiling on Arena tickets you can enter, multiplying your XP and coin payouts.
  • Captain and above is where Championship leaderboard competition intensifies - serious players cluster here.
  • Reaching General (1,200 trophies) grants access to every content tier simultaneously - all arena levels, all quest tiers.
  • Check the Trophy guide to find which category has the biggest gap to your next tier - focus there first.
