Conqueror's Blade News

Dear Warlords,

In Season XXII, we will be making adjustments to the territory war rules to create a fairer and more dynamic world ecosystem.
 
[h3]Rules of War Declaration: Giving the Right to the Houses Who Need It[/h3]
We have received feedback about "slotblocking": "Some houses declare war on fiefs but never actually fight. They don’t participate in territory war yet block our fronts."
Our observations show that some of the most impactful "slotblocking" behaviors come from houses and alliances that have little prestige but have accumulated large amounts of reputation. In the mid-to-late stages of the season, they utilize the reputation system at a low cost, significantly disrupting normal territory war participation. To address this, we are adjusting the war declaration requirements to filter out passive competitors who misuse the reputation system while ensuring other houses/alliances can still engage in diplomacy and strategic planning.
 
Starting from Season XXII, the new war declaration requirements will be:
  Declaring war on a city requires house prestige ≥ 150
  Declaring war on a fort requires house prestige ≥ 200
(Declaring war on villages is not subject to these restrictions.)
Expected Implementation: March 27 (After maintenance）
 
In the near future, prestige will become more deeply integrated with reputation, war declarations, and other mechanics. Warlords, expand your territories and prepare for the battles ahead!
 
[h3]Level 1 Villages: A Growth Buffer[/h3]
Newly established houses have raised concerns about attacking level 1 villages: Fighting territory war for a level 1 village is just a slow battle of attrition—there’s no room for surprise tactics! This makes it frustrating!
After careful consideration, we believe that new houses need a phase for training and adaptation—using level 1 villages to establish a foundation and gain combat experience. To support this, we will slightly reduce the initial difficulty to better align with the needs of houses at different stages.
 
For level 1 villages, the number of default defence garrisons will be reduced. Expected Implementation: March 20 (After maintenance）
 
In the future, optimizing the fief defence system will be a key focus. Garrisons will become smarter and more flexible, while higher-tier fiefs will introduce more diverse defence mechanics.
 
[h3]Elite Showdown: A Testing Ground for Tactical Diversity[/h3]
We've received positive feedback from small and mid-sized houses regarding Warrior Showdown: "The rules of Warrior Showdown give smaller houses a real sense of presence." We will continue refining Warrior Showdown mechanics to provide small and mid-sized houses with more opportunities to showcase their elite combat capabilities.
This Season, the Warrior Showdown system will remain in place for battles at Forts.
We aim to gather more data and feedback over a full cycle to determine whether this system should be expanded to other types of fief battles in the future.
Our vision is to make the activation of Warrior Showdown a strategic alliance right, allowing one of the warring sides to decide whether to enable the system.
 
[h3]Encyclopedia: Your Trusted Guide[/h3]
New warlords often ask fundamental questions such as:"Why is my Food gone?", "Why can’t I move?" and "How do I resupply Food?"; Some warlords also struggle with territory war mechanics, causing them to withdraw from battles, while misunderstandings of attack and defense rules sometimes lead to disputes over fief ownership. To address these issues, we are introducing the Encyclopedia, a system designed to help all warlords better understand the world and territory war mechanics.
 
The Encyclopedia will cover basic rules and advanced strategies for territory war. Expected Implementation: Mid-to-late Season XXII
 
This system aims to help new warlords get up to speed quickly, learn world mechanics, and engage more effectively in territory war. In the future, the Encyclopedia will expand to include topics such as weapon combos and advanced units tactics.
[h3]Marching Optimization: Less Frustration, More Strategy[/h3]
Many warlords have voiced concerns about navigation: "Crossing the sea feels like navigating a maze—I don’t know where to go!"
 
We found that some warlords struggle with territory war because of difficulties understanding navigation, while naval routes add extra complexity for newcomers. Our goal is to improve auto-pathing so that warlords can focus on strategic battles instead of getting lost.
 
We are currently optimizing the auto-pathing system for seamless navigation between city interiors and exteriors.
Expected Implementation: Mid Season XXII
[h3]Final Thoughts[/h3]
We remain committed to improving territory war declaration rules and refining the world experience to make game mechanics clearer and combat smoother. Our goal is to ensure that veterans have room for mastery while newcomers can quickly adapt—so that all warlords can enjoy an exciting and rewarding territory war experience!
We look forward to meeting you on the battlefield!

We hope that all warlords can enjoy the pure joy of combat and have the best gaming experience without being disturbed by any violations.
 
Therefore, we'd like to take this chance to remind all warlords that we have recently noticed a significant increase in accounts being flagged for using hacks, as well as websites selling accounts and phishing software.

Any usage of cheating software will result in your account being banned.
 
The following is the latest list of violators and their punishments:
 
 

We will continue to monitor the gaming status of the above players, and if the same violations occur again, they will be subject to more severe penalties.

[h2]3-Star Unit: Silla Guards[/h2]



[h3]Background:[/h3]

• 
  Forged from Silla's spear-bearing phalanx tactics, the Silla Guards became a formidable force across the land. Wielding rectangular shields and long spears, this unit dominated battlefields with their signature shield throw tactic. This battle-hardened unit gained distinction through over a decade of fierce engagements.
  

[h3]Combat Style:[/h3]

• 
  The Silla Guards are an elite national defense force armed with square shields and long spears. They can use their shields for effective ranged defense when setting up brace formations and throw them to stun enemies in close combat. Coordinating with allies, they enhance melee engagement efficiency—holding firm to secure their lines or advancing to break enemy formations. They also leverage the reach of their spears, delivering powerful strikes to repel melee infantry units, making them invaluable for choke-point defense and team advancement.
  

[h3]Unit Characteristics：[/h3]

• 
  A polearm infantry unit clad in heavy black armor, offering balanced attack and defense.
  
• 
  Utilizes shields for defensive duties, providing better coordination for both defense and offensive pushes.
  
• 
  Well-timed shield throws and spear strikes maximize their reach advantage.
  

[h3]Skill Design：[/h3]
Skill 1 Shield Throw: Throws shields at enemies, slightly extending attack range beyond the spear, dealing blunt damage. The shield is destroyed upon impact.
Skill 2 Spear Slam: Strikes targets with a spear to prevent enemy units from closing in. If the shield is destroyed, an additional attack is performed.
 
[h2]4-Star Unit: Tiger Fists[/h2]



[h3]Background:[/h3]

• 
  Silla had a martial art passed down among the people, granting those who mastered it the ability to subdue tigers even barehanded. Masters of this art often lived in seclusion within the mountains, only emerging to serve their country in times of war. Yet, after victory, they sought no reward, returning to the mountains. The world revered them as the Tiger Fists.
  

[h3]Combat Style:[/h3]

• 
  The Tiger Fists do not rely on weapons in battle. Through years of rigorous training, their bare fists alone are enough to subdue even the fiercest tiger. Their punches were capable of splitting stones. Their momentum is unstoppable. They excel at breaking enemy formations with powerful charges and strikes, yet their resilience allows them to remain steadfast despite enemy assaults.
  

[h3]Unit Characteristics：[/h3]

• 
  Masters of close-quarters combat, entering the battlefield at the right moment to destroy enemies.
  
• 
  Their skills can deal massive damage and exert control over enemies in crowded fights.
  
• 
  Their formidable physique and unyielding will reduce incoming damage and grant resistance to certain control effects.
  

[h3]Skill Design：[/h3]

• 
  Skill 1 Courage Charge: Charges forward in a short burst, ignoring control effects. The charge also ignores block and knocks down enemies.
  
• 
  Skill 2 Tiger’s Fury: Swiftly closes in on a target and unleashes a two-round punch combo.
  
• 
  Skill 3 Mighty Slap: The next attack is a powerful, fully-charged palm strike with high block-breaking capability, knocking back enemies upon impact.
  

 
[h2]5-Star Unit: Hwarang[/h2]



[h3]Background:[/h3]

• 
  The King of Silla selected noble youths of distinguished lineage, instructing them in the classics, training them in archery, and adorning them in elegant attire. Ever at the King’s side, they were known as the Hwarang—elite warriors who followed their ruler into battle, their arrows never missing their target, earning them the title of the nation’s finest.
  

[h3]Combat Style:[/h3]

• 
  These noble youths from Silla are anything but sheltered aristocrats. Armed with bows, they are masters of archery, using their agility and keen adaptability to navigate ever-changing battlefields. They can convert damage dealt into health, enhancing their survivability in battles. Additionally, they can continuously adjust their position while shooting—retreating swiftly when at a disadvantage and relentlessly pursuing enemies when victorious. Graceful and swift, courageous and determined, they fight for their homeland without fear or hesitation.
  

[h3]Unit Characteristics：[/h3]

• 
  Agile and versatile archers, utilizing advanced archery techniques to adapt to complex battle conditions.
  
• 
  Rapid learners in combat, growing stronger the longer they fight on the battlefield.
  
• 
  A ranged unit that combines strong survival capabilities with a high skill ceiling.
  

[h3]Skill Design：[/h3]

• 
  Skill 1：Flying Petals (During the skill’s duration, each successful hit on an enemy can restores health.)
  
  • 
    Flying Petals - Enhanced (During the skill’s duration, any excess healing beyond the maximum limit gained from damaging enemies is converted into a shield)
    
• 
  Skill 2：Windstep (After selecting a direction, the Hwarang rolls forward and shoots in that direction, up to two rolls.)
  
  • 
    Windstep - Enhanced (Increases the number of rolls performed by +1.)
    

 

[h3]Battle Pass Level 0 Unlock: Snowbloom Heir[/h3]
 
 

[h3]Battle Pass Level 100 Unlock: Sage Monarch[/h3]
 
 

[h3]The Sage Monarch Helmet can be further upgraded.[/h3]
Warlords who obtain the [Sage Monarch] can unlock higher-tier versions of the Sage Monarch Helmet through the customization system.

• 
  Upgrade Process:
  
  • 
    Open the 【P - Character】, click 【Personalise】, select 【Sage Monarch Helmet】 under the 【Helm]】category, and click the 【Variations】 button to upgrade the helmet.
    
• 
  Helmet Tiers:
  
  • 
    The Sage Monarch Helmet has three tiers, with the Battle Pass Level 100 reward being the first-tier helmet.
    
  • 
    When you permanently unlock all Silla season units, you can upgrade the first-tier Sage Monarch Helmet to the second tier: Sage Monarch Helmet - Celestial.

A new field battle map will be added mid-season – stay tuned!
 

Recently, we have received a lot of feedback from warlords regarding Spartan Chosen. We have been closely monitoring the performance of this unit on the battlefield. Additionally, we have also received balance-related feedback regarding Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry and Sunward Phalanx.
 
We highly value the opinions of our warlords and have conducted multiple rounds of internal product discussions. Conqueror's Blade now features 120+ units from diverse cultures and backgrounds, along with various maps and artilleries. Maintaining a dynamic balance in the battlefield ecosystem is a challenging task, but we firmly believe that balance is the foundation and lifeline of Conqueror's Blade.
 

Our unit balance design revolves around balance, strategic depth, and player experience, ensuring a healthy battlefield ecosystem through continuous optimization.

[h2]1. Balance Adjustments: Strengths and Weaknesses Complement Each Other[/h2]
By fine-tuning unit stats, skill mechanics, and roles, we attempt to ensure that units of different levels and types have their own advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield. For example:

• 
  Buffing 3-star units that underperform compared to design expectations.
  
• 
  Adjusting units that do not meet intended design goals.
  
• 
  Optimizing low-pick-rate units to improve their battlefield presence.
  

[h2]2. Targeted Optimizations: Aligning with Design and Player Feedback[/h2]
Adjustments are made based on a unit’s intended role and real battlefield performance:

• 
  Enhancing functionality where necessary.
  
• 
  Optimizing control and survivability.
  
• 
  Improving unit synergy and skill interactions.
  

 

We actively monitor game data, battlefield recordings, and player feedback to quickly address balance issues:

• 
  Regular adjustments to underused units.
  
• 
  Ensuring changes do not disrupt fairness.
  

Most importantly, we highly value warlords' feedback on unit balance adjustments. We recognize that players often develop a deeper understanding of certain aspects of the game than we do, and we aim to refine the game together with you to build an even better Conqueror’s Blade.


Before launching new units or balance changes, we conduct multiple rounds of numerical validation and iterative testing. For adjustments to popular units or major version updates, we also open a PTR test for warlords to test with us. Your feedback is crucial to our balance adjustments. We do not want overpowered "dominant" units, nor do we want previously nerfed units to become unusable. We take every adjustment seriously and sincerely ask for your honest and direct feedback. The more feedback we receive, the better we can refine unit balance—your voice shapes the battlefield!
 

We will implement unit balance adjustments after maintenance on March 20.
For this update, Spartan Chosen, Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, and Sunward Phalanx have received some downward adjustments. We would like to share our thought process with our warlords.
[h2]Spartan Chosen[/h2]
The primary role of Spartan Chosen on the battlefield is that of a Tower Shield unit, with warrior capabilities as a secondary function. We aim for them to embody the defensive resilience of the Spartan warriors in history—holding their shields firm against enemy advances and creating opportunities for their allies to counterattack. However, due to their unit trait, their damage absorption has exceeded expectations. As a result, we have adjusted the trait values and reduced burst damage during counterattacks, emphasizing their shield role.
[h2]Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry[/h2]
The single-use target count for [Disciplined Assault] was too high, and the charge acceleration effect further boosted its total damage output, allowing it to clear battlefields too efficiently.
Additionally, [Disciplined Assault] and [Thunder Charge] could refresh each other, creating high uptime and reducing their damage downtime compared to other charge-type cavalry units with even higher leadership cost. Given these factors, we decided to make some adjustments for this unit.
[h2]Sunward Phalanx[/h2]
The intended battlefield role of [Sunward Phalanx] is anti-cavalry, but [Ares’ Flurry] had an overwhelmingly high uptime, allowing it to suppress both cavalry and melee infantry beyond our original design. Additionally, since the unit carries a small buckler, it also has some defensive capabilities against ranged units, making it highly versatile and effective in nearly any combat scenario. This exceeded our intended design scope, so we have made small adjustments to [Ares’ Flurry] by increasing its cooldown and slightly reducing its damage. These changes will not impact its anti-cavalry effectiveness, but they will slightly reduce its pressure on melee infantry.
