As Year Three rolls around, we want to explore the vast and rich history of Conqueror’s Blade, from the golden rivers of Longting to the desert barrens of the Borderlands. Inspiration was found in real-world history, from the Viking era to Ancient China, and beyond, with some artistic licence taken along the way. Booming Tech and MY.GAMES have crafted a unique, immersive world to battle in and explore.


 
Through four incredible seasons, we've seen huge changes to Conqueror's Blade, and our Community Team is no exception. Below are a few highlights from a fantastic year of streams hosted by our Community Managers.
 


If you’re new to the game or just need a refresher, here’s a recap of the last eleven seasons of Conqueror’s Blade to celebrate Year Three and prepare you for future adventures!

Kicking off proceedings with a chivalric theme, Season I invited players to forge their legend in a land where soldiers could rise from nothing to be crowned kings, only to lose everything in an instant to a new power. The symphony of war called out and invited new challengers to fight for control of this land and eternal glory, a simple premise that set the stage for a bright future.

Conquerors soon found themselves at odds with the Sons of the Steppes in Season II. Natives to this land who long endured in the face of insurmountable conditions, these warriors from the great rolling steppes of the north live off the land and keep to themselves. However, they have been known to lend their combat skills to allies, and in doing so, decided the fates of empires throughout their storied history. Players who withstood the wrath of the nomads could earn cosmetics based on their sacred wolves, and even recruit six Sons of the Steppes units to their campaign.

The rise of the nomads saw occupied lands reclaimed, ill-gotten treasures seized, and once-proud noblemen driven into exile. Escaping with what little gold they could carry, the disgraced lords travelled south to Sicania, where they recruited an infamous band of sellswords to exact revenge. With gold-lined pockets and notorious reputations preceding them, these soldiers of fortune wrought havoc with deadly crossbowmen, fearless swordsmen, cutting-edge artillery, and cavalry killers fighting in the name of a legendary mercenary. They even brought the Maul, a new Weapon Class whose hammer of reckoning fell upon the land as if it were an anvil.

As noblemen, nomads and sellswords fought tooth and nail for dominion, a new shadow was cast. The ascendant Anadolou Empire (inspired by the mighty Ottoman Empire) marched north under the banner of Sultan Fatih Suleyman IV, a keen tactician who named himself heir to the Conqueror's City and all the lands surrounding it. The Anadolou Empire valued patience, discipline, and more strategic measures to attain victory. Four new units from the Turkey-inspired land of Anadolou joined the battle throughout this epic Seasonal Campaign.

Season V provided warlords with a link to the past, with the story starting over 100 years ago with a king’s reckless rise to power over the Kingdom of Empyros. The young king mustered an army of knights from across the land called the Symmachean Brotherhood, assembled the kingdom's greatest minds to create weapons of fire and destruction (wielded by two new seasonal units), and travelled to the Anadolou region in search of treasure. A power struggle between the knights reduced the once luscious land to ash, and a fire was stoked in the hearts of the citizens of Anadolou. This fateful attack would eventually lead to the Sultan’s successful conquest.

Winter held the North in an icy grip, and a horde of villains known as the Desecrators conquered Ostaria. Acting on the orders of the Scourge of Winter, a mysterious and terrifying figure said to plague the land in legends of old, they sowed terror across the North, driving survivors of their brutal assault south to Ungverija. Here, thanes, freemen, knights and kings alike joined forces in a desperate alliance to deliver Ostaria from evil, defeat the Scourge of Winter, and drive back the Desecrators by winter's end. Season VI was notable for a mid-season boss battle, where players could lock blades with the Scourge of Winter and his dark lieutenants!

The war for the North was won and winter’s grip was beginning to thaw. However, amidst the din of blades in bloody battles, something sinister took residence in the forest east of Vajk’s Lake in Ungverija. Strange lights danced in the pines, lupine howls scarred the midnight air, and a rising tally of souls was lost to the shadows of the glade. It was here that the Sons of Fenrir, demented worshippers of an ancient wolf-god, were unleashed. They amassed an army and ravaged the land in the wake of the war against the Scourge of Winter, seeking to enthrone their leader as king by any means necessary. As fear began to take hold, a band of warrior Northmen arrived in Ungverija. Armed with axe, shield, and the thunderous fury of the Allfather, they set out to save the land from destruction…

A new golden age was upon the people of Longting, and the Qian Empire brought prosperity and peace. Crucial moments paved the way for its rise, including the opening of the Golden Road, where anyone could discover this once-secretive region for themselves and share in its opportunities. Warlords sought out the peaceful yet highly-trained order of warrior monks, recruited a garrison of old soldiers who fought to defend Linwu Fortress from invaders for 40 years and met warriors wielding the great bladed 'modao', reputedly able to cut a cavalryman and his horse in two with a single strike.

In the shadows of victory… darkness festers. A powerful, terrible man was rumoured to be amassing power in the leaderless vacuum left by the war for the North. The Borderlands fell, and the populace was slaughtered, enslaved, or conscripted into this tyrant's dreadful regime. The monster would not stop until every village and even the legendary Conqueror's City was under his control. But sometimes, evil cannot be cut down by the sword and shield of a lone hero. The people of the Borderlands rallied under one banner and rebelled against tyranny!

Aelba, a lush green country commonly known as the Highlands, had long been subjected to a brutal military occupation by its southern neighbour, the Kingdom of Loegria. Aelba's own clans had also been fighting a civil war. Their chieftains' endorsement of cattle raids, arson, and blood feuds had thwarted attempts to form a single, unified kingdom. However, as times grew more desperate and the days ever darker, the Highlanders realised that they must put aside their bitter rivalries and fight back against this injustice. The clans were united to push back against the Loegrian armies, and the fight for the freedom of the Highlands began!

South of the Great Isles lay the kingdom of Pays-de-la-Gloire. This rich and fertile land was home to decadent mining, winemaking, tapestry-weaving, and shipbuilding industries. Fresh from a defeat at the hands of Aelba, however, a desperate Loegria had set its sights on this wealth… But this injustice would not stand. Brave knights and skilled healers rallied to a fearless warrior-seer, Gabrielle-Mäelys, who was determined to make her divine visions of victory a reality. These paragons of virtue stood before their enemy with banners firmly planted, hearts beating defiantly, and horses rared. Pays-de-la-Gloire would not fall.

It's been three years since Conqueror's Blade launched, and together we have shared in many glorious victories and shed a few tears of defeat. We wish to further improve Conqueror's Blade, so before Helheim begins on June 9, we think now is the perfect time to contemplate the good and the bad. 
Each Season's Battle Pass is a cornerstone with which we convey the season's theme and the uniqueness of civilisations and other sources of inspiration. We want all of you to have lasting memories of Seasons, not only in the form of Units but also through themed Attires and Titles.

Having received plenty of feedback on the Battle Pass, we have considered its reward distribution and the design of weekly challenges. All in all, neither fully meets our expectations.

We believe there's no better time than now to rework and improve these. We want each Battle Pass to be a treasury of rewards rather than a burden to bear. We hope you look forward to climbing a refined Battle Pass on June 9!
Ranked Battles are one of Conqueror's Blade's most unique game modes—a competitive platform with its own scoring system. It is the big stage where heroes must hone their skills to perfect and grow stronger if they wish to reign supreme.

However, as it stands now in Ranked Battles, unreasonable mechanics have led to high pressure, negatively affecting the experience.

To remedy this, we're introducing a new star-tier mechanic with the Helheim update. Hopefully, this will improve the situation and truly make Ranked Battle into the positive experience it should be.

Each tier has a specific number of battle stars required to rank up. Earn enough stars, and you will promote to the next rank. Stars are earned for winning ranked battles and are deducted, scaling with your ranked tier on a battle loss.

If you lose a battle with 0 stars for your current tier, you will not de-rank to the previous tier unless you are currently on the Imperial Hero or Grand Champion ranks. After achieving the rank of Grand Champion, you will start receiving Ranked Battle Score. Your rank is then based on your score.

For example, a player with the rank of New Blood, Rookie, or Contestant would need 2 Stars to be promoted, would receive 1 Star for a win, and no loss penalties or de-ranks.
We want the Hero's Journey to serve as a guide for new players as they learn the ropes and a means with which to close the gap between them and veterans. It's an important system that enables players to quickly gain more freedom in the game. However, the current quest and reward design don't attain this effect. Instead, it makes it more difficult for newer players to learn the game and prevents them from gaining power as quickly as otherwise possible.

As such, we've reworked these to better suit our new players. These changes won't affect your current quest progress, but if you want to clear the quests available in Hero's Journey right now, we advise you do so before the Helheim update hits on June 9.
Along with the new Units of Huskarls and Varangian Guards, other Norse units will awaken to join the fight, too: Sons of Fenrir, Berserkers, and Shieldmaidens! These three units will all receive balance changes.

All three units have deep Norse characteristics and bring their unique charm to Conqueror's Blade and its world. However, these characteristics make it difficult for them to perform well in the current meta.

We'll be focusing further on their unique features and combat styles. These once glorious Norse warriors return with pomp and flair one week after the release of Helheim, on June 16. 

We'll also continue to improve the other systems currently in the game and keep an eye on how weapons perform, such as the Nodachi, Pike, and Poleaxe. 

We must work together to make Conqueror's Blade even greater! Please continue to make your voice heard and share your feedback with us as we continue to flesh out the game, brick by brick. Check back soon for more information on all of these improvements.

When Conqueror’s Blade: Helheim launches on June 9, so too will the Seasonal Seal System. This system is designed to improve your gameplay experience and journey throughout Seasons by slowly increasing your power and the intensity of the combat you face along the way.

The Seasonal Seal System will limit which Units can be included in Warband Builds brought into battle, the power of Crafted Equipment, and Auxilliary Unit Points available. When higher tier Units are sealed, Heroes will be far more powerful in battle.

At the beginning of the Season, players will start with 700 Leadership. Bonus Leadership will also be available in addition to any other forms of Leadership, giving players a chance to try out different tactical options.

The Seasonal Seal System will be in effect in the following modes:

• Siege Battles
• Field Battles
• Territory Wars
• Rebel Camps
• Bandit Raids
• Training Battles (AI）
• Select event modes (PVP/PVPVE)

The Seasonal Seal System will NOT be in effect in the following modes:

• Expeditions
• Deathmatches
• Ranked
• Free Battles
• Select event modes (PVE/PVPVE)
• Tutorial
• Custom Battles

Below, you can check which Seals will be available at specific times throughout the Helheim Seasonal Campaign, and study the dates and regions you’ll be fighting for:
*Equipment Set Bonus refers to the bonuses that take effect when you have two or four pieces of a specific set.

**Crafted Equipment Affixes are the additional “+ amount” bonuses that you obtain for a specific stat.

IMPORTANT: The Seasonal Seal System will not remove content from player accounts. All restrictions are temporary.

We will continue to deepen the design of this system so players can have a better experience in each stage of Seasonal Campaigns. As always, we will listen to feedback and suggestions from players, and continue to adjust and optimise to ensure a richer gameplay experience.

Please be aware that from 8:00 CEST on June 2 (23:00 PDT 6/1), the Conqueror’s Blade servers will be inaccessible. The downtime is expected to last for 4 hours.

Good luck!

Two new Seasonal Units are coming to Conqueror’s Blade: Helheim starting June 9. You’ve already met the Huskarls, and the second and final of these ferocious fighters is a band of lethal mercenaries: Varangian Guards (5-Star).

The Viking Age was home to many legendary warriors, but none were as elite in status as the Varangian Guard. The Scandinavian company possessed great military skill, and due to this, amassed immense wealth. Recruited by the Byzantine Empire on the strength of their reputations, these particular Vikings lived to serve, and the riches didn’t hurt. One of these illustrious figures was Harald Hardrada, who became King of Norway after serving as a Varangian to fund his bid for the crown. 

Varangian Guards in Conqueror’s Blade are the defenders of the royal family of the Kingdom of Empyros, and wield swords, shields, and axes to great effect. Handsomely compensated for their efforts, they deterred any threat as they fought their way through the North.

Varangian Guards are equipped with a fierce rage mechanic. They build up their fury, then unleash a terrifying attack upon any foe who dares to cross their path.

Unlock Varangian Guards via new Unit Challenges when they launch on July 11!
