Update 02/11/20: Correction made to "what's accessible" during stage 5 of the Campaign.

With the region of Anadolou up for grabs for the first time, the Season V: Legacy of Fire Campaign is bringing some exciting changes to the battlefield!.

• Fiefs across Ungverija and Liangyun are available to conquer throughout the season, while the Borderlands are accessible from October 14.
• Later in the campaign, rather than laying siege to the Conqueror’s City, Houses and Alliances will be fighting to capture the regional capitals Turul Varos (Unverija) and Daicheng (Liangyun), before moving on to take the ultimate prize, Reginopolis!  

We’ll have more details to bring you on Season V: Legacy of Fire in the days and weeks ahead. Stay tuned!

There is no renown to be won when it comes to battling spirits, ghosts and other denizens of the ethereal, making Glory a resource in short supply during this time of year. To help you get through the next few spine-chilling days, we’re boosting the amount you can earn by 15%. 

For every matchmaking battle you complete between now and 21:00 (server time) on November 2, you will be rewarded with 15% extra Glory to help improve your Season V Nobility Ranking. Don’t forget you can also invest in a Battle Pass to maximise those rewards as you ascend to greatness! 

Like Halloween, Glory boosts don’t come around too often, so make the most of it!

A changing of the season often invites us to fling open our wardrobes and consider rearranging what’s inside. Thankfully, with a massive 30% discount available on an extensive range of cosmetic and consumable items, that prospect is made much easier. 

From iconic Unit and Hero Attires to intricate weapon skins and banners (with a wide selection of consumable items added for good measure), you have until 23:00 on November 3 to enjoy one of the largest and most extensive price reductions all year!. 

The full list of the reduced items is below. Check them out right now in-game or at the MY.GAMES Market!
 

Please be aware that from 7:00 CET on October 29 (11:00pm PDT 10/28), the Conqueror’s Blade servers will be inaccessible. The downtime is expected to last for 4 hours.

Please refer to the Patch Notes for documented changes. Meanwhile, stay tuned to our Discord channel in case of any immediate server updates.

Season V: Legacy of Fire introduces a new way to breathe life and vigour into your older units: Unit Promotions! By completing new Unit Promotions throughout Season V, you can promote two of your existing units to the esteemed ranks of the Symmachean Brotherhood, the military order that fights beneath the banner of the Kingdom of Empyros.



Unit Promotions will transform your existing unit into a new variant, wielding the same weapon and remaining at the same level, but armed with new skills and a different veterancy. There are currently two units which can be promoted: Spear Sergeants can be promoted to Symmachean Stalwarts, and Men-at-Arms can be promoted to Symmachean Paladins.

• 4-Star Symmachean Stalwarts (Unit Challenges Available Now): The Brotherhood’s spear infantry, drawn from the veteran ranks of Spear Sergeants. Stalwarts pride themselves on rising to any hardship, and are even more dangerous on the offence than as shield wall or blocking troops.
• 5-Star Symmachean Paladins (Unit Challenges Available Now):Knights from the myriad western orders of chivalry who answered the call of Empyros, promoted from the ranks of Men-at-Arms. A prideful and experienced force, Paladins represent the very flower of piety and chivalry, healing their brothers and allies on the field of battle.

To access the Symmachean Unit Challenges, you must have reached Stage 3 of the Zykalian Militia Unit Challenges. If you don’t already count the Spear Sergeants and Men-at-Arms among your ranks, Stage 1 of each set of Symmachean Unit Challenges will reward you with permanent versions of these units.

When you have unlocked Stage 3 of the Symmachean Unit Challenges, head over to the Barracks, select the relevant unit (Spear Sergeants or Men-at-Arms), then select ‘Promote Unit’. A pop-up will appear and ask you to ‘AGREE’. If you create a new set of Spear Sergeants or Men-at-Arms with Unit Kits and have already unlocked their promotions, you can promote them right away through the Barracks.

When you promote your units, they will each have a different Veterancy Tree, and different formations and unit orders. Career details, Doctrines, levels, experience, and Veterancy Points will also carry over. However, you cannot revert them back to Spear Sergeants or Men-at-Arms, and you are unable to bring Symmachean units into the same Warband as their older counterparts.

Symmachean Paladins and Symmachean Stalwarts are now available to unlock via Unit Challenges throughout Season V: Legacy of Fire!

Deathmatch fans can look forward to a change of maps starting from October 26, with the Monday event taking place on Drill Ground and Thursdays being fought over Cliff Duel (8v8)!
This is in the wake of the recent changeover from summer to winter standard times across Europe, so be sure to check out the updated Event Schedule when planning your attacks in the weeks ahead!

Xar is one of the most relaxed of all Conqueror’s Blade Content Creators. His easy-going manner doesn’t so much contrast with the bloody on-screen action of his regular gameplay streams, but complements it. The ‘chill beats’ that provide a soundtrack help, of course, but it’s that Xar can appreciate all the colours of the Conqueror’s Blade palette, not just the red mist of battle, that perhaps explains his calm demeanour. 

Having been actively streaming for two years, it was a year ago that Xar revealed to the community his creative side by streaming his skills with a brush as well as his sword. His enjoyment of the game had already stirred his artistic talents in capturing the game from a unique perspective, making a natural next step to then share his creations with the community. 

“Art is a way to express myself and I’ve always loved the beauty of simplicity, as well as Asian and medieval era- themed artwork,” says Xar. “So when I began to dive into Conqueror’s Blade it all came naturally. People began to commission me to draw their characters as well as their wallpapers. I grew to love the theme even more and began to create more artwork.” 



When starting a new piece of art, Xar waits for inspiration first. It could come from a weapon, a theme or just a feeling. “I draw the outlines, the characters, the proportions. When it comes to the finishes it's more about the general feel of it and I let my intuition reign. Drop by my stream or Instagram and I'll happily show you some time-lapses!” 

Xar is a close friend of Crescentine, who not only introduced him to the game and suggested he join the Content Creator Program, but encouraged him to indulge his talents in front of a live audience. “What attracted me most to the game was the mix of third-person action, teamplay and especially the strategic nature of unit control,” says Xar. He quickly became proficient with the Short Sword, which has long been his primary weapon. “I love the tankiness and I enjoy the frontline aspect: pushing my team forward with shields and pikes into the breach. It's overall versatility and it's close combat abilities make it my favourite.” 


When he isn’t charging around with his sword drawn or brush at the ready, Xar enjoys the quieter side of life in-game. As a leader of BloodOath (EU1), his role is to devise plans and put them in motion: “My typical day revolves around finding solutions to potential obstacles and finding best ways of collaborating with other houses. I take care of concerns of the community, broker deals, create tactics, war plans, targets and coordinate with my war commanders and other leaders in the house. Territory War is a time of heavy coordination so we train to stay sharp on the battlefield.” 

Inevitably, of course, Xar will find some time to stream and invite the wider community into his world, whether it be to play a few matchmaking battles with friends or to indulge his artistic side once again. His broad interest in art and games has understandably attracted a diverse audience. “My channel's goal was always to create a friendly, fun and chill environment where people can come and hang out,” he says. “I am blessed with a very wholesome community. The words of encouragement of viewers, community managers, and other fellow content creators - in what has been a relatively hard year on me (healthwise), has been a true blessing.”
