The following adjustments have been made because the large number of Valor points earned from Squad missions was causing immediate Valor Level increases, leading to one-sided Battles.
Adjustments have been made to the squad missions, as there was a large difference in the difficulty level between the different squad roles.
Assault Squad
If a Battle is settled before the requirements of a Squad Mission are met, Valor Points will be awarded as soon as the Battle ends.

[h2]BUG FIXES[/h2]
[h2]New Map | Dawn Bridge B[/h2]
The new map "Dawn Bridge B" will be released with this update!
This is an alternative version of the existing Dawn Bridge map.
The map has been covered in a thick fog, significantly changing its atmosphere.
The number and location of all Towers and Siege Weapons have been changed, allowing battles to proceed differently from the original Dawn Bridge.
[h2]Season 1 / Console Release[/h2]
We have made the difficult decision to postpone the console release of Warlander, initially planned for April. In accordance with the change in the release date, we will also be extending Season 0. As unhappy as we are to have to keep our players waiting, this will allow for a more polished release, and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
The new Console release date will be shared soon.
[h2]New Map | Moonlit Church[/h2]
The new map “Moonlit Church” will also be released prior to the Season 1 / Console Release which will bring the total 2 Army map rotation to 4 maps total before the season change.
Thank you for your continued love and support!

A content update for Warlander will go live on April 19th around 12 CEST. This update will feature a new Map, new Mercenary Customization, plus a ton of Feature Improvements, and bug fixes.
[h2]NEW FEATURES[/h2]
[h3]A new map "Dawn Bridge B" has been added![/h3]
- This Map is a twist on the existing "Dawn Bridge”.
- The entire Map is now shrouded in fog, and the overall atmosphere has changed dramatically.
- The location and number of towers, walls, and siege and anti-siege weapons have been altered, changing the flow of the battle.
- After this update goes live, the map rotation for 2-army battles will occur every hour and a half. The rotation will be “Ritual Valley” → “Dawn Bridge A” → “Dawn Bridge B.”
- The above rotation will start with the new Dawn Bridge B for 30 minutes from 12:00 to 12:30 (CEST)!
- Update times are subject to change without notice; if the update occurs after 12:30 (CEST), the first "Dawn Bridge B" will be available for play from 15:30 CEST.
- The map rotation schedule is subject to change without notice.
- Please note that matchmaking may take time due to an insufficient number of players if started immediately before the map rotates.
[h3]Mercenary Customization[/h3]
- Skills for some Mercenaries are now possible to edit.
[h3]Daily Bonus[/h3]
- A daily bonus feature has been implemented that allows players to earn one more Battle Results reward for the first Battle of the day.
[h2]FEATURE IMPROVEMENTS[/h2]
[h3]Performance Optimization[/h3]
- Processing load has been reduced so that the game can be played more comfortably even on low-spec PCs.
[h3]Matchmaking[/h3]
- You can now see the game mode, map, and time elapsed since matchmaking began in the matchmaking lobby.
- Improved matchmaking algorithm to ensure more equal team making.
[h3]Robot[/h3]
- Previously, it was too easy to defeat Robot pilots. As such, pilots will now receive 10 points of armor per second while riding the Robot (max 200).
- Made it possible for the Robot driver to open the gate.
[h3]Beginner Quests[/h3]
- Removed beginner quests "Perform a Finisher" and "Play one 5-Army Battle."
[h3]Tutorial[/h3]
- An explanation of Mercenaries is now displayed during the new player tutorial.
[h3]Valor[/h3]
- You can now earn Valor points when destroying weapons with fire damage.
[h3]Map Environment Changes[/h3]
- Certain objects have had their placement adjusted on the map Dawn Bridge.
- Adjusted defensive perimeters around C Tower, E Tower, and the area next to the castle (around the ladders)
[h3]Bot Behavior[/h3]
- Bot behavior has been adjusted so that Bots will behave more in line with the battle situation.
[h3]Combat Fixes[/h3]
- Style (Weapon Swap) Change is no longer canceled when you are struck by a melee attack.
- If an airborne player is struck by a Guard Break they will be blown back as if they were hit by a melee attack.
[h3]Characters[/h3]
- When deleting a character, you must now reconfirm even after confirming once.
[h2]GAMEPLAY ADJUSTMENTS[/h2]
[h3]Warrior and Cleric Melee Fixes and Adjustments[/h3]
- Changed the speed of some melee attacks used by the Warrior and Cleric for the following reasons:
- Fixed a problem where enemies would appear to not be hit or stunned when attacked by melee attacks.
- Fixed an issue where some attack combos could attack the enemy with no room for counterattack.
- Fixed an issue in which melee attacks could sometimes interrupt opposing melee attacks, thus reducing the importance of the Attack/Guard/Guard Break triangle.
[h3]Cleric Melee Damage Vs. Objects Adjustments[/h3]
- The current damage of the Cleric’s melee damage vs objects is high, so in addition to the above adjustment to the animation speed of melee attacks, the following adjustments have been made:
- Normal 1…45→22
- Normal 2…45→22
- Normal 3…120→60
- Critical Strike…50→37
- Guard Break 1…15→7
- Guard Break 2…22→11
- Guard Break 3…30→15
- Jump Attack…67→33
- Jump Attack（From High）…120→60
- Dash Attack…67→33
- Back Attack…90→45
[h3]Power Bomb[/h3]
- For the Warrior skill "Power Bomb", the timing between the activation of the skill and the beginning of the Super Armor has been delayed slightly in order to add more counterplay to interactions involving this Skill.
[h3]Siege and Anti-Siege[/h3]
- To adjust the impact of catapults in Battle, damage taken by wooden objects set ablaze by the catapult has been reduced from 600 to 300.
- Siege weapons now take 10 damage per second when on fire, down from 30 per second.
- Anti-siege weapon base durability has been increased from 120 to 400 as Mages were destroying them too easily.
- Changed the HP of cannons before/after reinforcement from 400/800 to 300/600, the same value as a ballista. Reload time adjusted from 3s to 2s
[h3]Centurion Balance[/h3]
- The movement speed of the Legendary Warrior Title "Centurion" in Colossus Form has been reduced to 136% speed, down from 200%. This is due to the Skill potentially affecting gameplay in a network game.
[h3]Cataclysm[/h3]
- The position of Cataclysm Idols for each map has been adjusted so that it appears more in line with the battle situation.
[h3]Valor Points Earning Adjustments[/h3]
Valor Point acquisition has been adjusted in the following ways, in order to better maintain fairness in battle:
Kills
- The difference in Title Ranks is now factored into the number of Valor Points earned when a kill is made.
The following adjustments have been made because the large number of Valor points earned from Squad missions was causing immediate Valor Level increases, leading to one-sided Battles.
- Valor Points earned for each squad mission 400/800/1200 -> 200/400/800
Adjustments have been made to the squad missions, as there was a large difference in the difficulty level between the different squad roles.
Assault Squad
- Destroy 50% or more of an enemy Core → Destroy 10% or more of an enemy Core
- 0 Damage to your Core for 3 mins/6 mins/10 mins → 0 Damage to your Core for 5 mins/8 mins/12 mins
- Dawn Bridge A: Capture 4 or more towers at the same time → Capture 5 or more towers at the same time
- The Pentagon: Capture 5 or more towers at the same time → Capture 6 or more towers at the same time
If a Battle is settled before the requirements of a Squad Mission are met, Valor Points will be awarded as soon as the Battle ends.
Valor Rank
- Along with the adjustment of Valor Points earned for kills, the Valor points required to advance to each Valor rank have also been adjusted.
- Valor Points required to advance to each Valor Level
- 500/1200/2100/3200/4500 → 500/1300/2400/3800/5500
[h2]BUG FIXES[/h2]
- Fixed a bug that caused team-making to fail in rare cases, resulting in a network error.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes allowed two players to acquire a Cataclysm at the same time.
- Fixed an issue where the Robot self-destructs attack damage would not destroy Siege Weapons.
- Fixed an issue where the "Firewall" skill would not hit an enemy who was guarding.
- Fixed an issue where colliding with a shield while using the skill Rushdown would not detonate a Wind mine.
- When attempting to set a squad marker while riding a siege weapon, the marker will now be placed correctly at the crosshair.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Crystal Defender from responding to users on Ballistae.
- Fixed a problem where Lightning Shock would not hit enemies on ballistae.
- Camera option settings are now applied when operating the Robot's gunner seat.
- Fixed issue where resuscitate wouldn’t work sometimes on inclines.
- Fixed a bug where quests for earning Valor Points, which are exclusive to each class, could be earned by other classes.
- Fixed a bug where a dash slash or guard break would rarely display the prompt for a Critical Strike.
- Fixed an issue where Mercenaries were not customized appropriately compared to their CP count.
- Fixed a bug where guard behavior may be incorrect for the following Skills and Familiars:
- Crystal Defender
- Wind Trap
- Magic Napalm

- Other minor bug fixes
