Conqueror's Blade: A New Era on the Battlefield
Finally, the time has come! With the latest update for Conqueror's Blade, three new seasonal units are joining the fight - inspired by the Knights of the Teutonic Order. We are particularly excited about the Zweihänders, a 5-star unit named after the imposing greatsword that decided wars in the 16th century.
Zweihänders - More Than Just a Sword
To learn a bit more about these fascinating warriors, we sat down with Booming Tech's lead combat and balance designer. And one thing is for sure: the Zweihänders should not be underestimated.
Behind the Scenes of the Zweihänder
Question: The Zweihänder gain a lot of immunity against crowd control effects with their attacks - do you have any tips on how to counter this in combat?
Answer: Their movements are slow and cumbersome, but once they start attacking, they don't stop. Experienced commanders can anticipate their movements in advance and find gaps in their attacks with powerful shock troops.
Question: 'Zweihänder' is the historical name for a two-handed greatsword that was not actually used in combat, but rather to strike down oncoming pikes and open gaps in the enemy formation. Why did you choose this name for this particular unit?
Answer: War is a team effort, and the most important thing for a team is cooperation. Such a large sword is certainly difficult to wield, but that doesn't mean this sword is not powerful enough. I believe everyone dreams of being a knight wielding a great sword.
The Role of the Zweihänder on the Battlefield
They are the vanguard of heavy infantry with high attack, defense, and recovery capabilities - capable of sustained combat at the forefront. And they don't stand alone. There are many troops with similar abilities, such as the Iron Reapers, the Warlord's Guards, and the Silahdars. However, the abilities of the Zweihänder offer more opportunities for sustained and prolonged attacks.
