Unit Guide: Banner Guards

Banner Guards are a remarkable unit whose standard-bearer will lead the charge into the unknown, flag raised high. Rouse your allies with these skilled soldiers and their boosting banner in Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons via new Unit Challenges!

Unlocking

Banner Guards can be unlocked by completing Seasonal Unit Challenges and come with a Seasonal Bonus in the form of Leadership requirements decreased by 10 points for the duration of Paragons.

Gameplay

Flexible and fierce, Banner Guards are the privileged carriers of their leader’s flag, and the standard-bearer is the most favoured of all. They can plant the flag in the ground for some much-needed boosts to their allies and to charge regardless of any cooldowns, driven by the honour to fight by your side for the glory of Pays-de-la-Gloire.

Skilled in a veritable smorgasbord of weapons, the veteran soldiers can be ordered to inspire their peers to bolster their stats or let their commander pick up the banner themselves, equipping them with a unique set of skills.
