Choosing your weapon in Conqueror’s Blade

The perfect weapon is key to any Warlord’s victory in Conqueror’s Blade, and with twelve to choose from, you can try out all the options until you find a weapon that suits your playstyle.

Poleaxe	Pick up a Poleaxe if you fancy crowd-control effects and being on the frontline of combat. The weapon inflicts slow but heavy strikes, so don’t expect to slash and dash.
Pike	The Pike is great for harassing due to its extremely mobile nature and versatile skills. Couple that with a short skill cooldown, and you’ll be poking foes all day.
Spear	Great for those who want to stay atop their mount in battles and poke their enemies with a long sharp stick.
Maul	With huge damage potential against both Units and Warlords, the Maul is unwieldy yet devastating.
Longbow	For those who like to find a comfortable place to snipe from, this long-range bow is definitely in your wheelhouse.
Shortbow	A shorter-ranged bow, the Shortbow inflicts single target damage.
Longsword	The Longsword is heavily oriented around defensive play and supporting allies with their abilities. A steadfast presence on the battlefield!
Shortsword	The classic “Sword and Board” is built around pressing the attack with heavy armour and skills oriented around leading from the front.
Nodachi	This weapon focuses on healing the player through attacks and would benefit from well-planned use of its cooldowns.
Glaive	The Glaive is a versatile weapon with a lot of different possible builds. It particularly excels when used for powerful mounted attacks.
Dual Blades	Become a deadly assassin when you wield the Dual Blades, inflicting heavy damage to single targets, and capable of infiltrating ranks.
Musket	Dealing heavy damage as a close-range class, the Musket is perfect for those missing the more modern side of weaponry.

How to use the Unit Tree in Conqueror’s Blade

During your battles, you will gather Honour, and this can be used to progress in the Unit Tree by unlocking new units and making them stronger. As you progress through different eras, units will become more powerful. Make sure to use Doctrines to add special effects and buffs to your soldiers!

In-game currency in Conqueror’s Blade (and how to use it)

There are seven types of in-game currency in Conqueror’s Blade, and knowing how to earn and use each is invaluable to your experience.

Fame: Fame is a seasonal currency that is rewarded for participating in Bandit Raids and donating to your Quartermaster. The Fame Store allows you to purchase exclusive items!
Honour: Honour is a crucial currency for expanding your Unit Tree to unlock and enhance your units. Unlocking eras will grant you access to more powerful units.
Sovereigns: Sovereigns are your premium currency! These can be used to purchase cosmetic items and consumables, customise your hero, change up your unit's wardrobe and pick up the season Battle Pass. You can also spend Sovereigns to pay off challenges that are proving troublesome.
Silver: Earn Silver by completing quests, and use it to buy and sell goods at the in-game market, buy artillery from the merchants, or upgrade equipment for your troops.
Blades: Blades are a seasonal currency that you can spend in the Seasonal Store and can be earned by levelling up your Battle Pass. Pick up antique and rare variants of attires for your hero, unit and weapon, and more.
Bronze: Bronze is the main currency in Conqueror’s Blade, and can be earned by completing quests, participating in battles, and selling items. It can be used to purchase items and heal your wounded Units.
Leadership: Leadership is your Hero's capacity to command units. Each unit costs a fixed amount of Leadership to command, and the higher their power, the higher the cost. Players can craft armour that grants bonus leadership while equipped to allow more powerful units to join your Warband.

How the Open World works in Conqueror’s Blade

While you’ll spend most of your time in the cities (or in battles!) you can always take a trip to the Open World to gather valuable resources and find treasures, but also encounter bandits and other players to combat, giving you much-needed experience.

How to play solo in Conqueror’s Blade

While many players join a House (a guild in Conqueror’s Blade) or play in a group, for those wishing to go down the solo route, all is not lost. You can still become a fearsome Warlord all on your own with these tips.

Train: Training modes help to familiarise you with the core gameplay mechanics of Conqueror’s Blade.
Bandit Raids: Take on Bandit Raids to gain Fame, level up Units, and practice with your chosen weapon.
Expeditions: Expeditions offer challenging scenarios where you can join your allies in PvE combat.
