Hello there, Warlords!

Today we’re here to share with you what changes are coming to the Campaign with the Helheim season.

Fresh Experience > Limitations

A hot topic among the team has always been how to continue to provide a fresh experience. In previous seasons, we've tried to gradually unseal units of the Heroic and Golden Eras, so that different units will be available during the various phases. We also design goals and quests for each phase of each season's Campaign to put some spice into Territory War.

These phases will bring change throughout a season, though, we feel as if we haven't quite hit the mark in terms of keeping gameplay fresh and goal-oriented. We've also received plenty of well-thought-out feedback from the community. That's why we're bringing new changes to the Campaign: it will contain more features and gameplay so that each phase will feel unique.

But with every change means taking a risk. We sincerely hope that you will continue to provide us with feedback and ideas. It is incredibly important to us in improving the game. Let's make Conqueror's Blade better together!

The new Campaign's main focus isn't on limitations but rather to provide a fresh experience:

Unit restrictions will be in place during the beginning of the season, meaning that heroes will have a greater impact. We hope that Warlords will choose their weapons carefully during this phase, and do their utmost in battle.
As the unit restrictions are removed, you will also be granted extra leadership. This is to encourage everyone to try out new units and create their own unique lineup.
As the season progresses, you will get access to even more leadership, meaning that you have even more freedom when setting up your strategy.
As you gain these leadership bonuses, you will also get access to more and more auxiliary unit points to further expand what options are available to you. This is especially true for those of you who are still working on unlocking your units.

As the season progresses, you will get access to better units, extra leadership and auxiliary points.

What's more, areas on the map will gradually become available as the Campaign progresses, unlocking more fiefs to contend for in Territory War.

* Ranked Battle is the most competitive game mode of Conqueror's Blade. Therefore, it will not be affected by the Campaign changes.

We want to add more features to the Campaign so that each phase is an enjoyable experience with greater variety.
