Introducing the units of Season VI
14.12.2020
Time to consider a promotion
Season VI: Scourge of Winter is coming to Conqueror’s Blade, with three new units soon to be marching through the swirling snows. They are all Promoted Units: upgrades to soldiers that are deemed worthy of joining the elite!
As well as completing Unit Challenges to fully unlock them, you must also have a base unit to create a Promoted Unit. This can either come from your Barracks or, if you’ve yet to unlock it during regular gameplay, from completing the first stage of Unit Challenges.
For example, the new Landsknechts is a 3-star pike unit. To fully unlock it you need to work through two Unit Challenge stages and have a unit of Halberdiers ready to promote. Fortunately, one is assigned to you after completing the first stage.
All three units share the Winter Warriors trait, which makes them particularly suited to the cold climate. For the duration of Season VI they will be more effective in battle, so you should try to unlock them before the snows melt!

Being a professional Ostarian unit, Landsknechts are better trained and equipped compared to Halberdiers. Their distinctive billhook pikes are a danger to any unit, but especially in a charge or against cavalry. |

Armigers are warriors of common birth that have distinguished themselves enough to earn the right to bear heraldry. Many will have saved the life of a noble on the battlefield, and it’s in this role that they continue to excel, protecting Heroes and coming to their aid no matter the conditions. |

Major Liao's company of fire lancers were part of a reconnaissance column exploring the north of the Borderlands, searching for the mountain pass through which bandits passed into Ostaria. Harsh weather saw them trapped, having to subsist in a foreign land and by the kindness of strangers. It made them swift and redoubtable, adding icy steel to their eternal fire. |
