Game Migrated to Another Steam Page News

Heretic is a member of Friendly, the alliance that emerged victorious from Season II and is already working to do the same again. We caught up with its spokesperson before the new season kicked off. 

How did you first find out about Conqueror’s Blade?

As with most of us in Heretic, from word of mouth. We talked about the game among friends and we were attracted to it because of its potential as a competitive PvP game. 

Why did you decide to set up a house?

The origin of Heretic comes from the fact our old house, ODT, wasn't organized enough in terms or war management and we wanted to reach a higher level. When the ultimate aim of Season II was to take the Conqueror’s City shown up, we decided to go our own way. This lead us to conquer forts around the famous city - two of them, at least. 

What do you think makes your house different?

We are serious in our aim to win the Conqueror’s City and just try to stay on top to remain an attractive choice for those who want to win the season. 

What does the house hope to achieve - what will be its legacy in years to come?

Our alliance already won Season II. We just hope to successfully do it again in the new season, and those afterwards. 

What’s your favourite class to play?

The answer depends on the Conqueror’s Blade patch. Classes that are the most well-suited to Territory War are a favourite to increase our chances to win. It’s the same for the majority of Heretic members. 

What activities does the house regularly engage in and enjoy?

All of our time is devoted to training and working to stay on top in each season. 



Who are your most trusted warlords and what roles do they command within the organization?

We can't name one without naming all of our confirmed members. We only retain players good enough to help secure the Conqueror’s City, which means all of our warlords are trusted once training is over. 

If someone wanted to join your house or establish a pact, what should they do?

They can contact us via Discord. 

Are there other houses that you admire?

For us, all houses who step into the Borderlands deserve our respect. Others who stay in starter regions after the Borderlands open present little interest for us. 

Conversely, are there any houses that you'd consider mortal enemies?

We don't have any specific enemies: Even if we fight every house that challenges us, it helps us to train and be prepared for the season. 

Many thanks to the members of Heretic for answering our questions. If you know of a house that is deserving of similar recognition that we should profile in the future article, please make your nomination via our Discord channel.

If you’re not a regular viewer to DaddyDeath369’s Twitch channel, you may have inadvertently appeared in one of his events, which in the past have drawn hundreds of players (and bemused onlookers) to congregate and do battle at the heart of some of Conqueror’s Blade’s most iconic settlements. These duelling tournaments are the epitome of organised chaos, where players might appear as a rabble spoiling for a fight, but are actually being carefully orchestrated behind the scenes to ensure proceedings are fast and fair. 

Duelling tournaments have been a mainstay of DaddyDeath’s output for almost as long as he’s been streaming Conqueror’s Blade, an effort which started a little over a year ago (when he was simply known as Death3691) and when the dad jokes weren’t quite as prevalent (or as well practised): “I found out about Conqueror's Blade when I was searching for a new free game to play” he says, “and being able to charge in smashing everything is what’s kept me going.” He then decided to join the Content Creator Program to give players a voice and show off his martial prowess, most recently in the guise of a Maul: “I can run in like a maniac, bashing everything out of the way. And I can yell ‘stop, hammer time!’.”

DaddyDeath typifies his streams as “a lot of chaos and destruction” with a few terrible jokes and odd discussions on the side. It was one of those early exchanges that lead to him hosting his first duelling tournament, a format which many others have copied since with varying degrees of success. “Everyone told me it was impossible and a horrible idea” he recalls, which was the only impetus needed to see if it could work. Numerous events and hundreds of duels later, it’s no surprise to learn that DaddyDeath’s tournament streams are among his proudest moments.

Away from duelling, DaddyDeath is happy to continue doing what he does best; charging recklessly into battle while hopefully raising a few smiles from among his online audience. “My goal will always be to try and make one person in every stream laugh or shake their head saying ‘What's wrong with this guy?’” Clearly being an example of what not to do is a winning formula. 

[h2]“The most rewarding aspect of being a content creator is being able to introduce new players to the game and help them learn.” [/h2]

When not live himself, DaddyDeath says he hangs out in as many streams as he can, and sees efforts to entertain players equal to that of making the game itself: “Anyone can make a difference; whether it is stepping up to hold server-wide events or just by helping a new player learn. The future of the game is in the hands of the community as much as the creators, so kick back relax and have some fun.”

Due to start at 6pm PDT (03:00 CEST) on May 27th is one of the most ambitious duelling events yet to be organised by the player community. Organised and hosted by NA streamer Cobra Commander, the Duel Tournament will be the first player-run event to be set against the backdrop of the Conqueror’s City, with an impressive $1000 prize pool to help focus the minds of the competitors. 

What’s unique about the tournament - aside from the unprecedented interest from in-game sponsors - is that combatants will be representing houses as well as themselves, which should lend the event a considerable level of support from all corners of the NA server and beyond. Some houses have been hosting their own tournaments to decide who will be representing them, making Cobra Commander’s Duelling Tournament a grand final, of sorts.

So far represented are Blackshirts, HighTower, LatinWarriors, Goryo, NoctemInvicta, Aegir's Tide, Heretics, Frontier, TheForsakenFew, InfamousMisfits and PastryEmpires. Those interested in representing others can sign up via this page, while those only looking to spectate on the action will be able to via Cobra Commander’s twitch channel. You can also keep up with results when thing kick-off next week.

Good luck to the organisers, the sponsors and all those about to do battle - we salute you all!

With Season III’s campaign kicking off earlier in the week, we thought it a good time to freshen up other parts of the weekly event schedule. So, from today, May 13, Wednesday’s Free Battle map will be changing from Grassland Assault to Augolia Outskirts.Then, from Friday, May 15, Emerald River will be making way for perennial favourite Wuqing Plains.

Free Battles constitute one of three types of weekly event (the others being Deathmatch and Territory Wars). You can find out more about Free Battles and other events via the updated schedule.
