Commander Skill Builds

Commanders can be fine-tuned to match the playstyle that you desire and bring additional power to the battlefield. They are also completely optional (you don’t need a Commander to fight) and can be used on any tank in the game!

This article focuses on some recommended Skill builds for your Commanders. Once fully trained, both 2D and 3D Commanders can have up to nine powerful Skills equipped. Putting the right Skill on your Commander for the right tank will be a huge key to victory.

Commander-Skills-1200x675

How you get to these Skills is up to you: either learn them in order, or learn the ones you want and re-spec your Commander later if you want to exchange Skills for different ones.

Read on to learn more, or jump to one of the following sections:

For Beginning Commanders

Every Commander starts with one open Skill slot that you use for any Skill you want. In addition, it’s free for you to assign a new Commander to any tank you own.

Skills-Unlock

Skills are now much, much more powerful, especially when combined with complementary Skills, Consumables, and Equipment that suit both your tank’s class and your playstyle.

We recommend one of two Skills for a starting Commander:

  • For newer players, we recommend you learn “Sixth Sense.” This Skill is vital in showing you when you are detected by the foes (meaning they know where you are and are probably aiming at you!).
  • Once you get used to the game, the first Skill to consider should be “Quick Learner,” which will increase your Commander’s XP earn rate by 10%. This can get you to the second Skill much faster (especially if combined with Premium time or tanks!). This also gets your Commander to Elite status faster, allowing you to convert XP off of it to use on other Commanders or Tanks!

As your Commanders grow, we recommend that you choose Skills to suit your playstyle. Here are some ideas for you to think about and try.

Scouting and Light Tank Commanders

Scouts live and die (and earn!) based on their vision, mobility, and concealment.

Light Tank Commander Build 1

Here’s one for an all-around Light Tank Commander.

Skill # Skill Icon Effect

Notified when detected by enemies.

Your armor is usually thin and you rely on speed. Knowing you have been spotted is vital.

Consumables allow you to go faster, fix debuffs, etc., depending on what you equipped. You will need your Consumables to be ready quick and often as you spot for your allies.

Light Tank Commander Build 2

Another Light Tank build (this time focusing as much as possible on speed) looks like this. This build has Skills that are focused on improving handling and aiming on the move, with a few damage mitigation Skills thrown in to guard against the occasional tumble or collision you’re liable to experience along the way.

Same concept as the previous Skill. Allows you to move more and suffer less accuracy penalties.

4

Consumables allow you to go faster, fix debuffs, etc. depending on what you equipped.

Medium and Heavy Tank Commander Hybrid Build – Firepower and Survival

Sniper Commanders Suited to TDs

Skill # Skill Icon Effect

6% increase to max view range.

Scouts are your friend, for sure. But sometimes you’ll need to rely on your own vision to find targets.

9
Sixth Sense
Sixth-Sense

Notified when detected by enemies.

Your stealthy, high-damage-output tank will still likely be found. Knowing as soon as possible when you’ve been located will help you know when to sit tight or when to bug out.

Sniper Commander Build 2

One of our hard-core tankers in the engineering department also chimed in with another build option:

“I see where you are going with this… but stealthy TDs absolutely live and die by knowing when they are and aren’t detected, so I prioritize Sixth Sense in my builds. After that I prioritize Skills that buff my tank’s overall performance followed by Skills that help me win the vision game. So, my stealthy TD build would look something like this.”

This build also has suggestions for certain Skill numbers that allow you to choose based on your favorite tanks or playstyles.

Artillery Commanders (Great for Indirect Fire Professionals)

While similar to using TD Commanders, using an indirect fire vehicle leans on a slightly different set of Skills. Explore these builds using the Artillery vehicles available in World War II mode!

Artillery Commander Build 1

Here’s an Artillery build designed to get more accurate shells going downrange more often.

Skill # Skill Icon Effect
1
Steady Aim

Arty shots have large dispersion. The smaller the dispersion, the more likely you will injure your foes.

Most of your aiming will be via gun movement. Getting on target quick is important!

Artillery shots take quite some time to reload. This will allow you to lob more damage at the enemy.

5
Muffled Shot

If your Arty is spotted, you are in real, real trouble. Mitigate that by quieting down your massive weapon.

6
Camouflage Expertise

This one’s used for similar reasons as the previous Skill. Stay out of sight to survive and rain death down on the foes.

7
Silent Driving
Silent-Driving

55% decrease to the effect of driving on your tank’s camo factor.

If you DO need to move your hull to acquire a new target, this will allow you to do so silently. Remember, this decreases both your movement’s and rotation’s chances of revealing your location.

8
Comms Technician
Comms-Technitian

30% increase to radio range. 20% increase to radio range for nearby allies.

Stay in touch with your allies. You’ll be moving less than most of your allies and need to know what they are finding for you to destroy.

Make your tank more effective across the board by improving your driver, gunner, etc. and their effectiveness. Shoot more, drive more quickly, etc.

Artillery Commander Build 2

This build also has suggestions for certain Skill slots that leave room for you to choose a Skill based on your favorite tanks or playstyles.

Skill # Skill Icon Effect
1
Sixth Sense

6% increase to max view range.

OR

7.5% increase to vehicle rotation speed.

Deadeye is useful for Artillery that regular use AP rounds. It should be paired with an Advanced Reloader as Equipment if you go this route.

If you prefer detection, use Situational Awareness. On the right tank (eg: leFH18B2), nothing beats being able to rain death before they see you.

If all else fails, Clutch Breaking on an Artillery is a Skill of last resort. Surprise those Light Tanks by being able to rotate fast enough to have them squarely in the crosshairs. Boom!

Heavy Tank Commanders

Heavy Tanks are front line beasts that usually try to absorb enemy attacks so that the other tank classes can destroy the opposition.

Heavy Tank Commander Build 1

This build is all-in on defensive Skills.

Skill # Skill Icon Effect
1
Armor Angling
Armor-Angling

5% decrease to damage received.

As a Heavy, you’ll be slow, which makes you a big, obvious target. But that’s OK, that’s your job! Let’s start by reducing the inevitable damage you will receive so you stay in the game longer.

2
Clutch Braking
Clutch-Braking

7.5% increase to vehicle rotation speed.

Your armor will be thick. Really thick. But proper angling of your armor will make it even MORE effective. Clutch Breaking allows you to rotate to the correct position faster.

3
General Mechanic

4
Track Mechanic
Track-Mechanic (1)

25% increase to track repair speed.

You may be slow, but that’s better than being immobile. Foes will often try to track your vehicle and flank or get behind you. Combining Track Mechanic with General Mechanic will help you fix this situation quickly if you find yourself stuck without Consumables recharged and ready to go.

5
Fire Prevention

Fire-Prevention

33% decrease to chance of engine fire.

This is related to module damage. If your Heavy catches fire, you’ll be ruined very, very quickly. Dropping the chance of this happening will keep you in the game (and extinguished).

6
Firefighting
Firefighting

10% decrease to fire duration.

Even with Fire Prevention, bad things can happen. Firefighting will put out the burn more quickly if the enemy manages to light you up.

7
Safe Stowage
Safe-Stowage

25% increase to ammo rack durability.

Your ammo rack is behind thick armor, sure, but it’s also a juicy target. Even a lucky shot to your ammo rack can end your battle in one shot. Safe Stowage makes being racked much less likely.

8
Pain Tolerance
Pain-Tolerance

20% decreased chance of crew injury.

You will be taking shots and relying on your crew and Commander to stay in the game. Keep them safe with Pain Tolerance so they don’t get injured as you absorb shells.

9
Last Stand
Last-Stand

25% increase to crew performance when under 10% HP.

Being a primary, obvious target, you’ll inevitably be whittled down. Last Stand will make your crew much more effective when you’re low on health and will keep you in the game longer.

Heavy Tank Commander Build 2

This build is a blend of defensive, concealment, and aggressive Skills to help you survive out in the open.

Heavy Tanks may not have the giant cannons that TDs have in most cases, but being able to shoot more quickly will help you survive longer.

Getting into position without being spotted can help guarantee you’re in a spot to defend your allies.

You’ll be angling your hull and turret quite a bit to keep your armor at optimum angles. Don’t sacrifice accuracy while doing so!

Rotating your hull to block shots will ruin your aim. Mitigate that with Run-n-Gun.

9
Off-Road Driving
