BALANCE CHANGES

Several Unit types, including sword-and-shield Units, archer Units, crossbowmen Units, firearm Units, and melee cavalry Units, are not performing as well as we would like them to. This is mainly because they have remained unchanged for a long time, and their basic attributes on the battlefield are not up to par with the current competitive landscape. Additionally, their roles and counter relationships are not as distinct as we would like them to be. While we have attempted to address these issues through Unit Mastery, it has inadvertently made the weaker Units even weaker.

We intend to make a series of adjustments, along with future Unit Mastery updates, to ensure that each Unit finds its unique role and enriches battlefield strategies. The following changes are in development:

• Sword & Shield Units: These Units should excel in both offence and defence, especially in dealing with ranged attacks.
• Lancer Cavalry Units: Special rushing abilities should complement, not replace, the traditional long-distance charge.
• Archer Units: Units with extremely long-range attacks should have an advantage against long-range and unshielded Units.
• Crossbowmen Units: Units with piercing multi-target attacks should be effective against offensive Units but struggle against shielded Units.
• Firearms Units: These Units should deal high single-target damage with lower accuracy and fire rate. Increasing a Unit's soldier count is necessary to ensure attack efficiency.
• Melee Cavalry Units: While a small soldier count is a contributing factor to their underperformance, this is not the main issue. The Unit's mechanics will be continuously improved in the future.
• Leadership: To introduce more diverse strategies, Leadership for lower-star Units will be adjusted.

Changes deployed in the September 21 update include:

Sword & Shield Units

• Improved their ability to block against ranged attacks, plus the ability to block arrows while moving and fighting.

Lancer Cavalry Units

• The Unit Traits of [Long Charge] have been adjusted. After ordering a charge, the Unit's charging damage and speed will increase by 20% for every 1.5 seconds it is charging, up to a maximum of three times.
• [Rally to Me] also receives a bonus effect from [Long Charge]. 

Winged Hussars

• [Hussar Charge] cooldown reduced from 60 seconds to 48 seconds.
• [Charge]'s piercing damage increased from 200% to 260%, and the minimum damage caused by [Charge] has been increased from 5% to 25%.
• Wedge formation has been added, and Serpent Formation has been removed.
• Unit Traits adjusted from [Swift] to [Long Charge].

Yanyuedao Cavalry

The [Dread] Unleashed ability is excessively strong in terms of crowd control and burst attacks, even when Mounted Dread isn’t fully charged.

• [Mounting Dread] should be charged for at least 2.5 seconds before using [Dread Unleashed] for it to have a knockback effect on enemy Units.
• Slashing Damage adjusted from 967 to 928.

Imperial Javelineers

• Piercing Armour Penetration of Javelin Multiplier adjusted from 250% to 220%. Penetration decreased by 12%, Piercing Damage Multiplier adjusted from 280% to 250%, damage decreased by 10%.
• Piercing Damage Multiplier of Flying Shield adjusted from 135% to 120% (damage decreased by 11%).
• The accuracy of javelins has increased by approximately 8%. The lower the target's movement speed, the higher the accuracy.

Javelin Sergeants

• Piercing Armour Penetration of Javelin Multiplier adjusted from 250% to 220%. Penetration decreased by 12%, Piercing Damage Multiplier adjusted from 350% to 320%, damage decreased by 8.6%.
• The accuracy of javelins has increased by approximately 13%. The lower the target's movement speed, the higher the accuracy.

Imperial Spear Guards

When [Cover Commander] is active, the Unit can become excessively powerful due to the stacking of defence effects with other damage reduction effects. To address this, the ability has been adjusted. Burst resistance capability without [Cover Commander] being active has also been increased.

• The duration of crowd control immunity for every three attacks taken by the Unit has been decreased from 2 seconds to 1 second. Additionally, the reduction in damage taken has decreased from 15% to 10%, and the defence increase bonus has been lowered from 30% to 15%.
• Health adjusted from 8,543 to 8,847.
• Slashing defence adjusted from 584 to 632, and blunt defence adjusted from 324 to 401.

Future Balance Adjustment Compensation

We will be distributing [Lotus Water] to remove [Doctrines], and [Mastery Reset Cards] to return [Scrolls of Mastery] for Units heavily influenced by balance adjustments. The items and quantity will be determined according to the scale of the changes.
