A new event is coming to World of Warships on January 25 to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Participating in this event will give players the chance to unlock a new Pan-Asian Commander, Sa Zhenbing.
Sa Zhenbing is a decorated admiral that players can unlock by completing “The Age of Sa Zhenbing” collection. The collection has five separate sections, each consisting of four different elements. Completing the entire collection not only gives players the new Pan-Asian commander, but also 10 skill points and a special achievement.
Now, what makes Sa Zhenbing special? He improves the engine boost action time for aircraft carrier squadrons by 7.5%. Furthermore, he possesses the Emergency Repair Specialist skill, which reduces the cooldown time of Damage Control Party and Repair Party consumables by 4%.
