Sky Warriors/Gameplay

Sky Warriors is a mobile air combat game set in the main menu screen, and one of two game modes: Payload and Skirmish. Both of these are covered in the Walkthrough section.

The game features two forms of currency:
 * Coins are the standard currency, and used to purchase upgrades as well as the next available aircraft.
 * Diamonds are a rare premium currency, and used to purchase any aircraft unlocked at your rank. Diamonds are used to purchase premium weapons that perform better than the standard weapons you use. They can also be used to accelerate the opening of chests and upgrades.

Sources of coins include completing daily missions, completing matches (victories earn more coins than defeats), lootboxes, and the in-game shop.

Sources of diamonds include ranking up, lootboxes, completing daily missions, and the in-game shop.

Ranking
Players gain experience points by completing battles. With higher rank comes opponents flying more advanced aircraft, and rewards in both premium and standard currency.

The ranks are, from lowest to highest:
 * Airman Basic
 * Airman
 * Airman First Class
 * Senior Airman
 * Staff Sergeant
 * Master Sergeant
 * Lieutenant-2
 * Lieutenant-1
 * Captain
 * Major
 * Lieutenant Colonel
 * Colonel
 * Brigadier General
 * Major General
 * Lieutenant General
 * General
 * General of the Air Force
 * Commander in Chief
 * Deputy-General of Joint Forces
 * High Commander of the Joint Forces

Each rank up completely refills your fuel gauge and offers diamonds.

Daily Missions
Daily missions reset every 24 hours, and offer rewards. Four such missions will be randomly determined every day. Completing these missions will reward coins, diamonds, and points to earning a new lootbox.

Lootboxes
Lootboxes come in five types: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond each offering higher rewards. They can be acquired by winning matches, and by completing daily missions (see above).

Players can only hold four loot crates at a time.

Contained in lootboxes include coins, diamonds, and various powerups and weapons that can be used in game, including anti-missile flares and missile variants. Lootboxes require either the spending of diamonds to open them instantaneously, or to wait out a timer. The timer varies from crate to crate, with more valuable crates taking longer to open:

Leaderboards
In addition to a global leaderboard of all current players, players are also divided into three leagues: bronze, silver, and gold. Each league offers a bonus upon winning a game: the default bronze league offers a 500 coin bonus, while silver offers 2,300. Gold offers 3,800 coins on a win.

There are also scoreboards for each nation as well as a leaderboards for squadrons, which are player-made clans which compete against each other for the top score.
