These benevolent martial artists are poised to fight for you as the first Seasonal Unit available in Season VIII: Dynasty. Available to unlock now via Unit Challenges, the Cudgel Monks are a highly effective defensive unit, delivering swift attacks with their staves, and powerful flying kicks to break ranks. What they lack in armour, they make up for in tight formations, movement-reducing attacks, and spiritual resolve.



 The Cudgel Monks are unlocked via Seasonal Unit Challenges, and they enjoy a Seasonal Bonus in the form of Leadership requirements decreased by 10 and resupply costs reduced by 50% for the duration of Season VIII.

Unit Challenges have been improved and will have their stage completion requirements unified. You now only need to complete some of the challenges of each stage (e.g., 6 out of 8, or 8 out of 10 depending on how many Stars a unit has), removing the requirement of completing all challenges. Read more about all the Unit Challenge improvements here.

Unlocking the Cudgel Monks will also unlock the Restless Mind quest (which you can accept by talking to the Watchman). Completion of this quest will reward you with an exclusive doctrine.
The Cudgel Monks are a monastic order of spiritual warriors who detest war yet fight when they must, and while their greatest quality is their defence, their attack can be punishing when ordered. 

When preparing to launch into a fully-flung attack, Cudgel Monks can be ordered to form a narrow Column, charge towards their enemies, and use the Six-Way Staff Order to increase their speed and unleash a stave attack.



Formations

• Dispersed - The unit spreads out a little to lessen the damage from ranged attacks.
• Column - A narrow formation effective for charging.
• Schiltron - The unit forms a circle for all-around defence. Vulnerable to artillery.

Unit Traits

• Swamp - Increases damage against cavalry by 16%, and reduces an attacked cavalry unit's movement speed by 60% for 2 seconds.
• Six-Way Staff - Upon activation, the unit performs a powerful attack. If it hits the enemy, the unit recovers 500 health.
• Suppression of Evil - Each attack increases the unit's own movement speed by 6%, reduces enemy movement speed by 6% and their defence by 10%. This effect can be stacked up to 5 times.
• Qian Dynasty - Leadership cost reduced by 15 during Season VIII.

Unit Orders

• Six-Way Staff - Increases monks' pace as they charge towards enemies at high speed, blocking enemy arrows during the charge. The Cudgel Monks then unleash a stave attack with an extra block-breaking effect. Hitting an enemy also recovers some health.
• Windmill Strike - Monks quickly swing their staves for 10 seconds, dealing continuous damage to the enemy, and restoring 500 health.

The Cudgel Monks are available to unlock via Unit Challenges now!

NOTE: The above information is correct as of the time of publication. Please check in-game for the most up-to-date Unit information.

A golden age has begun in Conqueror’s Blade, and epic adventures await in Season VIII: Dynasty. Gather your troops, forge alliances, and seek glory on the battlefield as you embark on its new Seasonal Campaign!

To participate in the Campaign, you must belong to an NPC or player-controlled House/Cohort or Alliance and fight alongside your fellow warlords via the ‘Battle’ interface or in the open world to gain control of settlements. Season VIII’s Territory Wars begin on July 10 and will occur every Tuesday and Saturday throughout the season. For more information about Territory Wars, check out our top tips here.

The Season VIII Campaign is divided into five stages. Maoyong is the core region, with the main objective being its Capital: Anliang (in Stage 5). As stages progress, access is granted to neighbouring regions, which then become conquerable. Maoyang fiefs will grant Influence to their captors’ Alliance, and whoever controls Anliang will be the victor. The winning House’s liege will receive the Hegemon title, and all members will receive additional rewards. 
Rewards from taking part in Territory Wars and completing quests during the Season VIII Campaign include Chests of Bronze and Treatise in various quantities (check in-game for more details).

Note: Territory Wars will be in Drill Mode on July 10 to ease players into the new season, meaning the event will retain functionality but with none of the consequences. You can still attack and defend settlements, but any change in ownership will revert back to how it was before the event started. You can learn more about Drill Mode here.


The Season VIII Campaign ends September 19, when the Alliance with ownership of Anliang will be crowned champions. Good luck, warlords!

Blades were bled, shields were shattered, and the first official Global Conqueror’s Blade League tournament of 2021—the Wolves of Ragnarok Tournament—was a rousing success! Across 36 epic matches played, 1,705 warlords were slain, over 63,000 units were sent packing to Helheim, and 1,159 artilleries were laid waste to. 

Whether you were in one of the 16 teams fighting for legendary prizes and a place in an upcoming Tournament against Booming Tech’s own champions, a talented shoutcaster providing expert commentary on proceedings, or one of the thousands of supporters cheering on these mighty conquerors from the sidelines on Twitch: thank you. Many participants had to take time off, make special arrangements, or generally re-arrange their lives in order to join the fight, and their efforts resulted in a spectacular week of visceral, exciting combat that was a joy to behold.

And at the end of it all, one band of heroes stood above their fallen foes to claim the riches of Valhalla…

ODIN’S CHAMPIONS (WINNERS)

Congratulations to ENDGEGNER, a valiant team of warriors led by their captain Susnow who rose to the occasion to seize first place in the Wolves of Ragnarok Tournament! After fighting tooth-and-nail through four rounds against some of the best warlords in Conqueror’s Blade, this team can finally enjoy their hard-earned prizes, including the exclusive Odin’s Champion Hero Attire, a Champion’s Player Title, Sovereigns, Sunken Treasure Troves, Blades, a new weapon skin. 

They’ve also won their place in an upcoming Global Tournament against the champions of the Tournament hosted simultaneously by Booming Tech. Stay tuned for more on that front!



HEROES OF ASGARD (SECOND PLACE)

KeyboardWarriors stood toe-to-toe with ENDGEGNER in a nail-biting final. Team captain Varak described the fighting in the tournament as “the most fun we’ve ever had in this game in two years,” and though they just missed out on the glory of Valhalla, tales of their brilliance in battle will surely echo through the annals of Conqueror’s Blade history for years to come. Their special Runner-up Player Title and bundle of in-game goodies will also serve as a reminder of their accomplishment!



MIDGARD’S MIGHTIEST (THIRD PLACE)

Plebs narrowly missed their place in the final but well and truly made their mark on competitive play in Conqueror’s Blade. “Overall the tournament was a great experience for the Plebs,” said team captain Templeshot. “It was nice to see tactics from other regions and compete on a high level with some very good teams. Seeing the 15 vs 15 team play with limited siege added a new aspect to the game that we don't see in normal Territory Wars.” Plebs walked away with an exclusive Third Place Player Title and a bundle of in-game goodies.



EINHERJAR (RUNNERS-UP)

Origin, LostLegion, Inglorious, Akatsuki, Agnar, Forsaken, Eden, BloodLust, Brotherhood, Unbroken, Wildblood, Wrath Of Heaven, and Pond Guard (click their names for detailed stats on their performance) formed a vanguard of teams who may not have reached the final three, but put up one Hel of a fight and provided hours of thrilling entertainment in the process. Each received a bounty of in-game rewards for their efforts and the satisfaction of being pioneers of the future of competitive play in Conqueror’s Blade.

Inglourious relished the opportunity to be a part of the Wolves of Ragnarok Tournament. “For a player that fought their whole life in competitive online gaming, this is a dream come true in Conqueror’s Blade,” said team captain sOuL. “Can't wait for the next one!”

“It was a lot of fun,” said Wildblood captain UhtridRagnarson, who vowed to return in the next tournament. “We know what we need to improve and we will try to do that too."

"Pond Guard thoroughly enjoyed both the organizational and competitive quality of this tournament, as did the rest of the NAE community that supported us despite in-game rivalries,” said captain MJV11. “We look forward to the new heights that future tournaments will reach and hope to grow with them."

FUTURE TOURNAMENTS

The Wolves of Ragnarok Tournament was a shining example of how healthy and thriving a competitive community you have helped foster in the last two years of Conqueror's Blade. More than 70 teams signed up to participate, but only 16 made the cut. We fully intend to host more tournaments in the future, and when we do, we want to go even bigger so more of you have the opportunity to be a part of this. If you have any feedback about this tournament, please share it with our team via the Conqueror's Blade Discord so we can use it to inform and shape the future of esports in Conqueror’s Blade.

Follow Conqueror’s Blade on Twitch for more thrilling live broadcasts from the MY.GAMES team every week, and stay tuned for the ultimate showdown between our victors, ENDGENER, and the champions from Booming Tech’s own Tournament!
