[h3]2. Ranked Battle Adjustments[/h3]
[Ranked Battles], as the core gameplay of Conqueror's Blade, has always been the arena where many warlords truly shine. Through the qualifiers of the CBL event this time, we've noticed that the sheer joy of combat might be overshadowed by the current rank settlement mechanism. Therefore, taking into account your feedback and drawing inspiration from numerous other ranking systems in our game, we are fine-tuning the means of settlement for [Ranked Battles] this season.
Before: Rewards for the [Ranked Battle] Season were based on the rank at the time of settlement. After: Rewards for the season will now be based on the highest rank achieved during the current Ranked Battle Season.
This adjustment aims to offer all warlords a more down-to-earth set of combat rules. Under this framework, both rank rewards and the battle experience will receive a certain level of assurance.

• 
  [Archer Infantry] and [Crossbow Infantry] will be unable to use the [Double Strings] and [Double Shot] skills in melee mode.
  
  
• 
  Fixed the issue where bringing [Claymores] may cause server lagging.
  
  
• 
  Fixed the issue where the actual effect of bleed duration increase of [Namkhan Archers] was not matched with its description.
