New update brings gladiators
What is the update about? The latest update of Conqueror’s Blade is called “Colosseum” and as the name suggests, it revolves around gladiator fights within a colosseum.
In previous updates, different eras and cultures were introduced in Conqueror’s Blade. In Season 7, it was all about Vikings, while Season 8 focused on the history of China.
The Colosseum update will be released on September 1, 2022, and marks the beginning of the latest season of the action MMO. This is the largest update for Conqueror’s Blade in a long time.
We’ll also include the impressive trailer for the update:
New mode brings gladiators into the colosseum
What is included in the update? Among the new content being introduced with the Colosseum update, two highlights stand out:
- 3 new units
- the new mode “Colosseum”
These are the new units: Conqueror’s Blade is getting three new units, with different ratings and weapons:
- Dimachaeri: 3-star rating, melee infantry with 2 swords (available from September 1)
- Myrmillones: 4-star rating, melee infantry with shield (available from September 12)
- Retiarii: 5-star rating, melee infantry with trident (available from October 3)
This is the new mode: In the new mode “Colosseum,” you fight with 11 other players. It’s played in a 6v6 format, with only groups of up to three players allowed to participate.
The two teams start with 500 points each and attempt to deplete the opposing team’s score, with capturing the flag reducing a team’s points. If a team runs out of points, it loses the match, which can last up to ten minutes otherwise.
If time runs out without a team losing all its points, the team with the highest score wins. Additionally, besides AI fighters called gladiators, there is also a boss enemy named “Gladiator Champion.”
The following game rules also apply in the new mode “Colosseum”:
- Cavalry units cannot be used.
- Each player can deploy one artillery unit.
- Each player has only two respawns.
- There is a single neutral supply point in the center of the map.
