September 3 Update Log

Greetings, Warlords!

We will be conducting a maintenance update at the following times:

APAC: September 3, 14:00-17:00 (UTC+8)

EU/AMS: September 3, 07:00-10:00 (UTC+1)

The maintenance is expected to last for 3 hours. After the maintenance, we will distribute Bronze Coins x8000, Honour x300, and Unit Medal x15 as compensation. Please plan your playtime accordingly.

Here are the details for this update:

• The 7th Anniversary PVE mode, Return to Battlefield, is back for a limited time! Team up with your comrades in a 3-player squad and return to Sanada Maru, The Great Wall, and Dasuo Fort. Expect horn-blowing Heroes, special Units, and random battlefield chests. Spend your stage currency wisely to recruit Units, purchase Artillery, and configure Tactics to break through the enemy lines!

• 7th Anniversary Perks are here! From September 5 to September 13, you can enjoy zero loss of Unit Kits and double basic Unit XP in designated modes, so you can head into battle without a worry and level up your troops in no time.

• The second wave of Anniversary Attire Chest perks has arrived! During the event, spending Golden Keys will earn you a limited number of time-limited Golden Keys in return. The \[Frostbone], \[Crimson Meteor], and \[War Stampede] Attire Chests are also making a comeback, along with several Unit-exclusive Illusion Orbs available for a limited time!

• Mastery for Myrmillones is now unlocked! Eight tiers of Mastery enhancements have been added to significantly boost their survival, defense, and combat capabilities. High-tier Mastery also improves the performance of \[Myrmillo's Guard] and shield-bash attacks, firmly cementing their role as a frontline bulwark.

• Balance adjustments for the Maul and Poleaxe! We've improved the damage output, maximum targets hit, and the lower limit for multi-target damage decay on various skills and basic attacks for both weapons. We also optimized animation transitions, engagement mobility, and damage registration. The Maul now boasts stronger charged bursts and formation-breaking capabilities, with shortened cooldowns or new Knockback effects for certain skills. Meanwhile, the Poleaxe features further enhanced block-breaking, Block suppression, and continuous assault capabilities. Some Poleaxe skills now guarantee a block-breaker and Knockback effect, delivering a much punchier and fluid melee experience.

• Brand-new Epic Schematics for the Nodachi and Musket are now available! Use the \[Moonless Snow Schematic] to forge the \[Hazy Moon] Nodachi and unlock a new attack move, \[Blood Moon]. Alternatively, use the \[Undertaker Schematic] to forge the \[Requiem] Musket and gain the \[Thundering Musket] effect, which shortens your ammo reload time. Both weapons come with multiple sets of exclusive stats, opening up exciting new combat build options.

• We're constantly optimizing the system experience! We've adjusted the Faction points acquisition rules for \[Unify the Realm] and fixed various issues with abnormal map areas, event page displays, Attire visuals, equipment Reforging, and UI red dot notifications.

• Salvage system optimization! Items in the Storage and Supply Dump can now be salvaged directly!

Team up with your comrades to form a 3-player squad and return to Sanada Maru, The Great Wall, and Dasuo Fort. Defeat the enemy and capture points within the time limit to break through multiple enemy formations and intense offensives.

How to Play:

You can earn Stage Currency by capturing points, defeating enemies, and gathering supplies. You can spend it in the Stage Store to recruit Units, purchase Artillery, and select Tactics for enhancements:

• Spend Stage Currency to recruit new Units and reinforce your current lineup.

• Purchase Artillery to break through the enemy's tough defenses and handle various battlefield pressures.

• Select Tactics to enhance your own and your Units' stats, allowing you to build different combat styles.

As you progress through the stage, the Stage Store will gradually upgrade. Each level-up grants 2 chances to refresh the store, and the Units and Artillery available in the store will also be upgraded.

New Special Reward Mechanism:

1. Horn-Blowing Heroes: Enemy Horn-Blowing Heroes will seize the chance to blow their horns after engaging, commanding enemy Units within the area to launch a fiercer offensive.

2. Special Units: Defeating 200 enemy soldiers and 1 enemy Hero within a stage grants a chance for Special Units to appear in the Stage Store. Special Units boast distinct combat traits that enable unique playstyles beyond the reach of regular Units.

3. Battlefield Chests: Battlefield chests will spawn randomly within the stage. Opening them gives a chance to acquire Stage Currency, but beware—it may also unexpectedly summon elite enemies!

Stage Rewards:

Participate in PVE stages to earn Time Badges and Time Marks, which can be exchanged for rewards in the Echoes of Time event. You will also earn Anniversary Pass XP to level up your Anniversary Pass.

Event Duration:

Stage Availability: After maintenance on September 3 - before maintenance on September 17.

Reward Drops: After maintenance on September 3 - before maintenance on September 17.

Event Details:

Perk 1: Zero Kit Loss. During the event, participating in \[Siege Battle], \[Field Battle], and other modes via \[J] will incur no Kit losses. (Kit loss still applies normally to Territory War, Pursue, and Bandit Raids.)

Perk 2: Double Unit XP. Log into the game during the event to earn double basic Unit XP from battles!

Event Duration:

Zero Kit Loss: September 5, 00:00 - September 13, 23:59.

Double Unit XP: September 5, 00:00 - September 13, 23:59.

Event Details:

During the event, for every 10 Golden Keys spent in any Attire Chest available in the \[G] menu, you will receive 3 time-limited Golden Keys! These time-limited Golden Keys can be used for any Attire Chests.

Note: During the event, the rebate applies to a maximum expenditure of 200 Golden Keys, meaning you can obtain up to 60 time-limited Golden Keys. After the maintenance on September 17, any unused time-limited Golden Keys will be reclaimed, so please mind the usage window.

Event Duration:

After maintenance on September 3 - before maintenance on September 17.
