New Player Experience Improvements – So Veterans Will Never Stand Alone
Dear Warlords,
Many of you have told us that what makes the world of Conqueror’s Blade truly shine is not just the battles themselves, but the camaraderie forged in the heat of war. Whether it's the unflinching shield units in matched or ranked battles, the daring wall-scaling and supply-point captures in territory wars, the cunning placement of artillery, or the sea of house banners waving proudly across the world—these legendary feats, spoken over voice comms and written into the annals of countless campaigns, prove one thing above all: There’s no thrill like clashing blades with worthy foes—and no glory like winning battles.
However, after five years of evolution, many warlords have grown into seasoned veterans. A steady stream of new units, maps, mechanics, and features continues to enrich the Conqueror’s Blade ecosystem, offering fresh experiences and new challenges for those still fighting on the frontlines.
But at the same time, these additions can create obstacles for our new warlords—and for those seeking to return to the Conqueror’s Blade once more. Whether voiced passionately during community meetups or echoed across player discussions, we’ve heard your call: newcomers and returning warlords need a smoother path into the game.
“I invited a friend to play, and the moment they stepped into the capital, they were completely lost...”
“New players can’t even form a decent Unit lineup before giving up...”
“There are so many systems—I don’t even know which ones matter…”
Based on your feedback and suggestion, we've identified several key challenges faced by new and returning warlords:
So we decided: no more half-measures. Led by our producers, we interviewed hundreds of Conqueror’s Blade content creators, drawing on their frontline experience helping new players. We partnered with multiple gaming platforms to conduct user research with thousands of people who had never played Conqueror’s Blade before. We ran hundreds of meetings, burned the midnight oil for weeks, and drafted plan after plan—all with one goal: to break down the barriers keeping new and returning warlords from joining the fight.
Of course, these long-standing issues won’t disappear overnight. But with the launch of our revamped onboarding experience and the brand-new May Wargames Fest, we’re taking the first step. Warlords, this is only the beginning. We’re fully committed to improving the path forward—for every new and returning warlord!
So—what exactly are we doing to support new warlords?
And that’s not all. The Wargames Fest is here! [30 Top-Tier Units], instantly playable—for free during the event!
You’re not behind. With a new character, you can unlock fully equipped units in under 20 minutes and enjoy fierce battles!
No more grind. Just pure war.
Finally, we call upon all our seasoned warlords to join us in welcoming new and returning warlords! Your insights, your guides, and your passion are priceless treasures in Conqueror’s Blade world. Together, we can make Conqueror’s Blade better than ever!

Based on your feedback and suggestion, we've identified several key challenges faced by new and returning warlords:
Unlocking and upgrading units is too slow, making it hard to get battle-ready.
The capital is vast, but lacks clear direction—easy to get lost.
Weapon choices at the start are limited, restricting variety and exploration.
Unit tutorials aren’t intuitive, leaving new Warlords confused about each unit’s role.
The UI has grown complex—vital information is hard to find.
