With the June 1 update and the release of the new Season, Conqueror’s Blade: Sengoku, we're working on new additions and improvements, including what Honour can be used for, tutorial changes, and new options for character customisation. Read on to find out more about all these changes, as well as upcoming improvements to the game's performance.
Honour Shop
We're adding a new Honour Shop which unlocks at Level 100, giving you more opportunities to buy useful items with the Honour you earn. 

Inside the Honour Shop, you'll be able to spend honour on Unit Mastery items (subject to a weekly purchase limit), a Mace Sergeants Token, and Doctrines exclusive to the Unit (subject to a total purchase limit).


We'll continue to update the stock available at the Honour Shop, so stay tuned!
Performance Improvements
Our effort to improve game performance doesn’t just end with the start of a new Season. We made adjustments throughout the Eternal Season over the past few months, and the standard test computers we used (configuration below) saw an average increase of 10 FPS as a result.

Benchmark Configuration:
  • Monitor: 1080P
  • CPU: Intel i7 7700K
  • GPU: GTX 1060 (6G)
  • RAM: 16G
  • DirectX 11
New: Fullscreen Exclusive Mode
By playing on Fullscreen Exclusive Mode (Settings - Graphics - Display Mode - Fullscreen Exclusive), you'll have an overall smoother experience.

Improved: Unit Overhead Info Loading & Display Logic
By splitting up the information load of Heroes and Units (HP bar, name, defence values, etc.), we have reduced the amount of information that loads at any one time. What's more, by improving the information of visible objects rendered in real-time, we have also reduced the resources the game takes up.

New: Option to Hide Dead Units
We've added an option to ‘Hide Dead Units’ under Settings. The models of dead Units will now be removed after a while to further reduce resource usage.

Improving performance is a long-term effort, and we'll continue to share information with you all as we make further improvements.
New: Team Colours
Following feedback we've received regarding teams' Unit colours, we've added the following colour options to (Settings - Unit Colour):
  • My Units - Red
  • Allied Units - Burgundy
  • Enemy Units - Slate Grey
Tutorial
Conqueror's Blade is a game that can be challenging to master and caters to a specific audience. It's been quite difficult for us to find a way in which to quickly help new players get accustomed. With the new Season, players entering Conqueror's Blade for the first time will experience an all-new tutorial that'll hopefully allow them to learn the ropes quicker than ever.

We've made the following changes to the tutorial:
  • All PvE stages are more focused on teaching the player about Units, touching upon brace, damage types, and battle strategies.
  • We've also added a tutorial for each related action, making them an integral part of the stage itself.
  • We've also used tooltip boxes to touch upon other features, enabling newer players to come to terms with these faster.
  • We've also made a new Unit for the tutorial, the Mace Sergeants, and they have exclusive Doctrines and Mastery available to them too. By guiding new players to focus on training this one Unit, they'll better understand what makes up the core of Conqueror's Blade.

Players who created a character before the start of the Sengoku Season can purchase the Mace Sergeants Contract and their Doctrines from the Honour Shop.
Character Customisation
Our old character customisation options have gone mostly unchanged since the games launch, and we felt it was time to add some new options with the upcoming Season. We've improved the detail for character faces and hair, and added new face presets.

Characters created before the new Season can speak to the Warden to receive 1x Disguise Kit. None of our old customisation options are going away, so you're free to use them if you prefer those.




(The customisations in the above images are subject to change)

See you on the battlefield when the new Season, Conqueror’s Blade: Sengoku, launches on June 1!
Conqueror's Blade - Kaeden
Feeling poetic? From now until June 1, you can celebrate the announcement of the Japanese-inspired Conqueror’s Blade: Sengoku Season with our Haiku contest.

The rules are simple—-write a Haiku (three lines in a 5-7-5 syllable format with 17 syllables total) about your adventures, life, or battles in Conqueror’s Blade.

The reward for the top three poems is the Sengoku Battle Pass, which will help you embrace the path of the Samurai.

Get inspired by a classic Haiku from 17th-century Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō:

An old silent pond . . .

A frog jumps into the pond,

splash! Silence again

Make sure to enter your heroic Haiku via the contest Discord channel before June 1!

Three Seasonal Units are coming to Conqueror’s Blade: Sengoku when the Japanese-inspired update arrives on June 1. In addition to the Seasonal soldiers, there are also other new Units to unlock and have fight by your side.

With blade in hand and bushido spirit in heart, learn more about your new warriors.



Seasonal Units
Ronin (3-Star)

These masterless martial arts masters excel at launching sudden and highly lethal attacks. They call themselves the Ronin and wander the land, protecting the people from tyranny and evil. While their garb may indicate simplicity, their skills are unmatched. 

The Ronin’s Parry Trait gives them a slightly increased attack each time an enemy attack is successfully blocked. Order this Unit to Charge at foes, and inflict extra damage with a Iaido Strike.

Onna-musha (4-Star)

Trained arduously from a young age, the Onna-musha wield their blades with deadly precision. While it is not unusual for young women of the nobility to learn the use of weapons, the ongoing baronial war means they are often called on to put this knowledge to practical use.

The Onna-musha possess the Anti-Cavalry Trait, meaning their attacks have cavalry-blocking effects, and deal 26% more damage, as well as slowing them by 60% for a short period of time.

Order these fearsome females to Charge, and release multiple attacks with their Onslaught.

Orochi Samurai (5-Star)

Exceptionally deadly and lethal, the Orochi Samurai wade into battle with their trusty weapons. Their blood-red armour is sturdy but equally efficient at instilling fear in the enemy. They stand their ground with a smile against even the fiercest of charges with their fearsome yari spears.

This Unit can use Disrupt to delay enemies from attacking in melee or using Skill Orders, then follow up with Disrupting Sweep to hit multiple enemies. Double Strike doles out two quick attacks in the designated direction. 

Non-Seasonal Units
Naginata Monks (3-Star)

While the teachings of the Naginata Monks shun all weapons, the naginata is a weapon that can be learned quickly and also functions as a staff. As desperate times call for desperate measures, the temple monks took to arms to defend their homes. These organised fighters can mount counterattacks without fear or hesitation.

This Unit can brace its weapons and charge forward, bringing the fight directly to its foes.

Mace Sergeants (3-Star) 

The Mace Sergeants were originally established to stand against any would-be invader. They specialise in battering their way through doors, castle gates, and enemies. Yet, with time, their prowess continued to grow, as did their influence. Now, they take on any mission that puts their skills to the test.

Use Cover Commander to gain protection from this Unit in sticky situations, and unlock Meteor Strike via Veterancy Points to unleash multiple attacks, especially effective at smashing through shielded Units. 

Matchlock Ashigaru (4-Star)

While they fight with firearms rather than follow the way of the sword, the Matchlock Ashigaru are an elite force to be reckoned with. Their great achievements cemented their name in the history books.

Order this Unit to Attack Area and make a strategic attack in a designated location to hone in on your foes. Through Veterancy Points, the Matchlock Ashigaru can fire more than one bullet per shot.
Unit Mastery
Mastery for the first batch of Units will become available at the start of the Season. Simply complete the related quests from the Warden to unlock this new feature.

First Units to Receive Mastery:

Palace Guards, Halberdier Sergeants, Prefecture Guards, Mace Sergeants, Pike Militia.
