Stand Against Chaos in Season IX: Tyranny, Available Now!

Raise a rebellion in the ravaged Borderlands to fight back against a tyrannical new threat. Stand against chaos in Season IX: Tyranny, now available as a free update in Conqueror’s Blade!

Seasonal Campaign: Tyranny 

The new Seasonal Campaign invites you to rise up against an evil Tyrant with your rebel armies, take back the devastated Borderlands, and claim epic rewards from the Battle Pass.

Where there was once peace, chaos now reigns. Choose to start your quest in the Longting region, Maoyang, or Ostaria before taking the fight to the stage for the main conflict of Season IX: the Borderlands. Taking back control of the legendary Conqueror’s City from the ruthless Tyrant is your end goal, with skirmishes waged in twice-weekly Territory Wars before the final showdown.

Raise a Rebellion with New Units

Three new Seasonal Units are available to unlock via Unit Challenges throughout Season IX: Tyranny, each with its own unique set of talents and abilities:

• Outriders (3-Star) - Available now: These cavalrymen have a score to settle with the Tyrant. Wielding throwing spears, they excel at destroying formations with the power and speed of attacks launched from horseback.
   
• Axe Raiders (4-Star) - Coming October 4: Once humble farmers and woodcutters, these civilians are rising up against the diabolical Tyrant. They utilise axes, the tools of their trade, as even deadlier weapons capable of piercing armour and boasting impeccable self-defence.
   
• Shenji Grenadiers (5-Star) - Coming October 25: Hailing from the East, this explosive unit is armed with musket-firing and bomb-throwing skills that can cause blast injuries to any foes in their fiery wake.

Battle Pass & Exclusive Rewards

The Tyrant storms regions like a plague, and has accumulated a vast collection of stolen treasures and trophies from conquered states. Over 100 levels of Premium rewards await Warlords who complete Seasonal Challenges, accumulate Glory, and level up during Season IX. Pilfer the Borderlands for the Tyrant’s hoarded spoils of war, including the Tattered Henchmen Unit Attire, Tyrant’s Banner, Tyrannical Mount Set, Sneak (Emote), and so much more.

The Undefeated Hero Attire is available as an instant reward when you purchase the Battle Pass today from MY.GAMES Market, Steam, or in-game for 1,000 Sovereigns! The Tyrant Commander’s Hero Attire is the ultimate reward, waiting to be claimed at Tier 100. As Conqueror’s Blade is a free-to-play game, there are still many treasures to be claimed on the Free Pass too.

You can also unlock Blades from the Battle Pass to exchange in the Seasonal Store for rebel-themed weapon skins and reborn cosmetics not seen since Season V: Legacy of Fire!

Fight in Territory Wars 

Season IX’s Territory Wars begin on September 28, and will occur every Tuesday and Saturday throughout Season IX! Heed the call to action by participating in server-wide PvP battles that form the lion’s share of endgame content in Conqueror’s Blade. Territory Wars will change for the better in Season IX, and you can read all about the changes to Prestige, Cohorts, and more here.

Take part in Territory Wars by joining a player-controlled Free House or Alliance, or a Cohort (NPC-controlled House) and expand your empire by fighting alongside your fellow warlords via the ‘Battle’ interface or in the Open World to gain control of fiefs. For more information about Territory Wars, check out our top tips here.

IMPORTANT: Territory Wars will be in Drill Mode on September 28 to ease players into the new season. The event will retain the usual functionality, but with none of the consequences. You can still attack and defend settlements, but any change in ownership will revert back to how it was before the event started. Learn more about Drill Mode here.

Quality of Life Changes

Season IX: Tyranny brings with it a myriad of improvements to Conqueror’s Blade. Changes to Hero Skills, Honour, Crafting, Unit Balancing and other features are coming, and you can read up about every change here before you enter the Borderlands to begin your fight against the Tyrant. 

One such change is a new consumable item: the Scroll of Renewal, replacing both the Personal History and Unit Training Plans (available for the same price) and able to reset a Unit’s training or a Hero’s attributes.

Go Wild with Runes 

The Rune system is back, allowing you to augment your loadout with sacred artefacts earned by raising your Seasonal Level!

Season IX: Tyranny’s Runes are inspired by the animal kingdom, with each one imbuing your loadout with a special attribute from a wild animal. Attach Runes to your Warlord’s weapon, helmet, armour, boots, and bracers via the Seasonal Runes tab (by pressing ‘F5’) to grant tactical improvements and special bonuses to your equipment.

The age of heroes is over - it's time for rebels!

Defy evil and liberate the Borderlands in Season IX: Tyranny, now available as a free update! If you’re a new player, we recommend starting your journey on the Anliang (EU6) server.
