In order to celebrate the addition of new generals, we have specially prepared the following welfare activities:
New generals can get benefits for a limited time: From now until January 31, you can get the new general Zhao Yun through a single daily recharge reward!
Cumulative recharge gifts: From now until January 24, during the Laba activity, players with a cumulative recharge of a certain amount will receive a reward from Mo Zhaoyun!
After maintenance on January 18, the "Great Cold New Year" activity began. The content of the activity is as follows:
Activity time: 10:00 p.m. on January 18, 2024 - 23:59 p.m. on January 31, 2024.
Activity 1: Golden Egg Gift
Golden and silver eggs appear from time to time during the activity. After defeating golden or silver eggs, you can get a lot of rewards.
Activity 2: Lucky Turntable
You can get 3 turntable lottery tickets when you log in every day during the event. You can turn to oranges and even divine fragments in the lucky turntable. The fragments of the divine generals that can be transferred to this lucky turntable are: Shenbu practitioner fragments, Shenxiahou Dun fragments, and Shenhuangzhong fragments.
★★★★★★★ New out-of-print magic general - Mo Zhao Yun
Magic Zhaoyun positioning: output, control. Arms: Infantry
The first skill: rushing to help the crisis: active: the probability of casting is 50%, causing a lot of attack damage to the enemy 3 people, and there is a probability that the target will fall into dizziness. At the same time, you will get anger (2 consecutive attacks) and blood sucking effect for 1 round.
The second skill: Dragon Bian Shenwei: Command: Trigger in the first round, plunge the enemy 3 people into panic (loss of troops per round), block the target at the same time, and give the three friends an inspiring effect (full damage increase), lasting 3 rounds; self-get the immune seal effect for 30 rounds.
Disassemblyable skills: Miaoshou Rejuvenation: Active: The probability of casting is 40%. Immediately restore the strength of all our generals (the recovery force is affected by the general's strength), and get the blood sucking effect (general attack and blood sucking), and the hit is improved for 2 rounds.
Evaluation:
Comprehensive evaluation: Mo Zhaoyun appeared as a rare high-speed powerful output control general in the State of Shu. A skill "rushing to help danger" has high output damage, and can also stun the target and make it unable to move. At the same time, give yourself a battal and blood sucking, so that it can supplement his state. The more braver he is in the Vietnam War, not to mention seven in and seven out. The second skill "Dragon Bian Power" can cause panic to all enemies and block targets. At the same time, it improves the damage of all friendly generals, and you can get an immune seal effect for 30 rounds. So that you can continue to output skills throughout your own battle to ensure the stability of the output. The disassembly skill "Wonderful Hand Rejuvenation" is a more active skill. It can restore a large number of our troops. At the same time, it gives the target a vampire, hit to improve the effect, so that teammates can recover and endurance. This disassembly skill is a divine endurance combat skill. Mo Zhaoyun can be called the output control of Shu's lineup, which can take into account both the output and control positions in the lineup. The third skill is assigned according to the enemy lineup, which is even more like adding wings. Demon Zhao Yun really achieved a blood-stained robe, rushed to kill the enemy's array seven in seven out, spitting blood and recommending the protagonist to make one. Recommended lineup: Mo Zhaoyun + Mo Guanyu + Moma Yunlu (official magic general army, not to mention the strength), Mo Zhaoyun + Moma Chao + Mohuang Yueying, Mo Zhaoyun + Shenguan Suo + Shen Xu Shu (the combination of demon gods is also good, please study and match more combinations by yourself).
Activity 3: Add a new holiday tavern card bag
The powerful demon general "Moxiahou Yuan" settled in this holiday pub card bag. Three generals, Shenbu Trainer, Shenxiahou Dun and Shen Huangzhong, appeared in the pub card bag again after a long time. Don't miss the protagonist you want. You can draw it to your heart's content.
Activity 4: Redeem Rewards
During the activity, every battle in the wild has a chance of falling words: big, cold, welcome, New Year. Collecting these words can be exchanged for ingots, famous general treasure chests, lottery tickets, Putian Tongqing treasure chests, Tutongqing treasure chests, magic general fragment boxes, dragon and phoenix crystal source treasure chests, rare treasure chests, ordinary reinforcement bags.
Activity 5: Recharge Rewards
If the cumulative recharge during the event reaches a certain amount, you will receive a lot of rewards. This reward is mainly based on out-of-print divine generals. Lords who have not drawn Shenwen Recruitment in previous activities, or if there is not enough fragments of Shenwen Recruitment, can get it in the recharge reward.
In addition, a number of enhanced must-have elixirs have been added to the 5000, 10,000 and 20,000 levels of this cumulative recharge activity.
The reward of 20,000 is replaced with the "Supreme Magic General Optional Box". After use, you can choose one of the 24 magic generals. Don't miss it.

Activity 6: Login Bonus
During the activity, you can log in every day to get 50 ingots, 50 aristocratic points, 5 postings, 2 intermediate technology accelerations, 2 intermediate building accelerations, and 3 lottery tickets.
Activity 7: Double Recharge

Activity 8: Single recharge activity reset. The current magic general prop in the 4998 level of the daily single recharge in this issue is the new magic general magic Zhaoyun fragment *200. At the same time, the 4,998 reward has been upgraded. It turned out that the god of the State of Wei and the god of Wu replaced the box with the optional god general box *2, and the Bicheng elixir was replaced with the divine elixir treasure chest (bicheng elixir*2 and Feisheng elixir *400), and the magic treasure chest was added (one of the 7 star-watching stones, broken mirror stones, 8 kinds of military books, each of which is huge).
Activity 9: Continuous Top-Up Activity Reset
Activity 10: A new phase of cumulative consumption activities begins

Activity 15: Adjust the content of the gift package purchased with recharge.
The fragments of generals in the resource gift pack from Monday to Saturday turned into fragments of divine step trainers.
The new version is under production, please stay tuned.

Last week, I started implementing Steam Achievements to the game. In the next update, 29 achievements will be added!

To test if the achievement system is working as intended, I'll have to set the list of achievements to public - even though players will NOT be able to receive any achievements at this time. (It's not a bug!) Once the system has been tested, the game will be updated and players will be able to start earning Steam Achievements :)


Some of my favourite achievement icons

Notes:

• Some Achievements are retroactively given if players have met the criteria for it. Others can only be earned if triggered after the update.
  
• You don't need to start a new save to earn these achievements.
  
• All 29 achievements can be earned regardless of the settings you play on (i.e. longer day length or more base energy does not affect your ability to get the achievements).
  
• However, once the game reaches 1.0 (full release), we might add some "challenge" achievements that can only be earned with default settings. These achievements would require a new save file to be completed.
  
• As we continue updating the game, more achievements will be added! If you have ideas, we'd be happy to hear them :)

Let me know if you have any questions!

Stay hydrated,
Miki 💚

Dear CEOs,

This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.

First, we deeply apologize for the confusion from the last announcement regarding the Future Plans for Gauntlet Balance Adjustments.

In the announcement, we have introduced the changes in [Strombringer Jake Walker], [Awakwned Counter employees], and [Enhanced Ban Penalties]. However, because of these sudden changes, we confirmed many concerned voices from our CEOs.

To correct the sudden changes, we plan to adjust the changes as follows.


- [Strombringer Jake Walker]’s skill changes will not be included in the January 17 update.
- Additional stats to [Awakened Counter Employees], [Anti-C.O. DMG], and [Anti-C.O. DMG RES] will not be included in the January 17 update.
- Ban penalty enhancement will be carried on as informed in the January 17 update.


Before
After


Moreover, to compensate for the confusion caused, we have prepared the following.


- 30 Relic Binary
- 50 Set Binary


- January 17, 2024, during maintenance.

※ Compensation can be claimed within 7 days.
※ The mail will expire after 7 days.


We will proceed with the adjustments to the Gauntlet balance sequentially, taking into consideration the opinions of our CEOs. Throughout this process, we will ensure that abrupt patches do not confuse our CEOs.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by the previous announcements and assure you that we will be more attentive to the feedback of our CEOs during this upcoming adjustment process.

Thank you
