New Season of Conquest Story “Storm of Stratagems” Pioneer Event Coming Soon

Step foot on a distant continent, where rising plumes of smoke herald a battle to come. We have worked tirelessly to expand our territory, but in doing so have planted the seeds of war deep in this land. Amidst a storm of conflict and calumny, we have learned to be flexible in our tactics, make new allies, and repel our enemies. On this new battlefield, who will emerge as the victor?

1) Team System: All registered kingdoms will be divided into S, A, B, C, or D-class based on their power. Kingdoms can form teams based on their classes. After teams have been formed, 6 teams with similar power will be matched to the same Lost Kingdom, with each team belonging to one of the 6 camps.

2) Stratagem System: In this story, you can equip a variety of “Stratagems,” which provide permanent buffs for you and your troops. You can select from a number of different “Stratagem Folios”, each of which have a different combination of Stratagem slots. Stratagems must be equipped to a slot that matches their type.

3) Counter Rallies: Whenever your coalition is targeted by an enemy rallied army, you can launch a “counter rally” against their rallied army. A counter rallied army will immediately set out once it has reached its troop capacity and all participating troops have arrived.

4) Alliance Arrow Towers: In this story, you will be able to turn your Alliance Flags into “Alliance Arrow Towers”. Arrow Towers will automatically attack non-allied cities within range, reducing their Wall Durability. They will not inflict any casualties on the troops garrisoned in the city.

Armament System Optimization

New Armament Transmutation Function:

• You can “transmute” Inscribed Legendary armaments to randomize their attributes.
• When transmuting an armament, you can choose to lock one or two of its attributes. Locked attributes will not be randomized. After transmuting, you may choose to revert back to the old attributes or keep the new attributes.
• Transmutation requires Transmutation Stones. The number of attributes you’ve locked will affect the number of Transmutation Stones needed. You can acquire Transmutation Stones through the Armament Shop and events.
• Each armament can only be transmuted up to 10 times.

How to Get New Armaments:

• Lucerne Scrolls: For kingdoms in Season 2 to the Season of Conquest, Formation Choice Chests and Random Armament Chests will be added to the rewards of the Lucerne Scrolls event (available after the update).
• Silk Road: For kingdoms in Season 2 to the Season of Conquest, Random Armament Chests will be added to the rewards of the Silk Road event (available after the update).

• Lost Kingdom Event Series: For kingdoms in Season 2 to the Season of Conquest, Formation Choice Chests will be added to the rewards of Lost Kingdom events added after the update.

New Armament Loadout Feature: You can save your armament setup for a commander as a “loadout”, allowing you to quickly load different armament setups.
