Behind The Scenes: Yanyuedao Cavalry
Three new Units are available to add to your Warband in Conqueror’s Blade: Eternal, each inspired by the legends of Ancient China
We spoke to the developers at Booming Tech about the process behind bringing these Eternal Units to life in Conqueror’s Blade.
Q: The Yanyuedao Cavalry is unique in its “charge up” method of fighting. How do you think they stack up against other cavalry Units?
A: Although regular cavalry Units can deal high damage during their charges, the damage dealt is essentially the same throughout the entire charging process. Therefore, players cannot achieve better combat performance through real-time control of the cavalry. However, the Yanyuedao Cavalry is capable of charging up momentum during the entire movement process, and players can choose to release the power equivalent to a full charge of other cavalry Units in one single moment. This requires a higher understanding of battlefield situations and is also more powerful at optimal performance.
Q: Will we see other unique mechanics for Units on horseback in the future, such as rearing attacks or kicking from the animals themselves?
A: We maintain a cautious attitude towards launching new cavalry Units, as cavalry should be a rare and special force that can achieve a decisive victory in critical moments, whether in real historical wars or on the virtual battlefield. Every cavalry Unit we introduce is designed to address scenarios where players may feel powerless, such as facing a wall of heavily-armoured infantry. As such, we may explore the addition of new cavalry Units with unique mechanics in the future.
Q: What role do you see the Yanyuedao Cavalry playing on the battlefield?
A: Mounting Dread is the special mechanic this Unit boasts, allowing them to unleash a significant amount of damage. This skill proves to be particularly effective in breaking through heavily-armoured infantry formations and also grants them an advantage in cavalry-to-cavalry combat.
Q: Do you have any tips for countering this Unit?
A: The Yanyuedao Cavalry is not particularly strong in terms of defence and is vulnerable to control effects. The Modao Battlion's damage reduction effect can be effective in countering the high damage output of the Yanyuedao Cavalry, while the Imperial Pike Guards' Advance can effectively impede their movement. For most Units, it is recommended to engage the Yanyuedao Cavalry before they can fully charge up their attack or to quickly disperse once their glaives light up to avoid being caught in a devastating charge and prolonging the engagement.

Sixteen Days As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
First Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
I have my Cavalry Units tie branches to their horses’ tails to stir up dust and make it look like there’s a lot of us but I forget it just rained so there isn’t any dust and the enemy can clearly see there’s like twenty of us all spread out in a Line Formation
Second Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
I bribe a bunch of players to start spamming a copypasta in the Global Chat I carefully crafted to spread misinformation and further my strategic ends but they change the words to be about the Maul and the enemy isn’t misdirected at all
Third Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
I lure my enemy into a narrow valley during a Field Battle and send an Archer Unit to shoot them from the high ground but there was a feral dog (must be a Houndsman nearby) napping on the trail up and they couldn’t decide whether to try and shoot it or just go around and by the time the dog woke up and left on its own the enemy had already passed safely below
Fourth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
We attempt to join a Siege Battle on the side of the player we want to ally with but he and the guy he’s fighting have really similar usernames and it’s finally dusty and I misread the standards and attack the wrong guy. So now we’re stuck with this total loser of a liege lord, because how do you explain that after a battle?
Fifth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
And some sort of apothecary wanders into my Field Camp, my loser liege lord wants to duel him for being an NPC but I convince him to let the apothecary stay, because I want to do more weather-based strategies and I’m pretty sure having a camp apothecary can help with that. After the welcome to the team meeting, the apothecary steals half of my Sovereigns, DMs my liege lord’s wife and leaves
Sixth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
My loser liege lord sends me to reinforce a fief he’s taken, but in the confusion of leaving I forgot to take the Migration Token that would have gotten us into the fief, so my Units have to wait outside the fief for like eight hours while I ride back to get it
Seventh Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
And my loser liege lord finally joins me in the Conqueror’s City, it turns out he’s actually a pretty cool guy, and he isn’t even that mad at me for letting the apothecary steal his wife. I decide to shoot my shot but I’m really nervous and keep on stalling because what if I mess up our relationship and by extension jeopardise the security of my House, and eventually he just says goodnight and goes AFK, where a Dual Blades player is in the process of setting up to duel him
Eighth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
And my loser liege lord tells me to fake-defect to his rival Warlord, the one I originally wanted to ally with, to find out if he was the one who sent the Dual Blades player and why but my whole way over to the rival Warlord I’m worried that this has something to do with the apothecary thing or how awkward I made it last night
Ninth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
I try to tactfully ask my fake liege lord if he sent the Dual Blades guy to duel my loser liege lord and it turns out the idea of using assassins never occurred to him, but now that I’ve suggested it he’s really into it. In order to save my loser liege lord I volunteer to be the one to challenge him to a duel
Tenth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
On my way back to my loser liege lord’s city I realise I won’t be able to collect my Units from my fake liege lord until I bring back a screenshot of my loser liege lord dead. This would have been a great thing to think of before I got myself in this situation. I go back to my loser liege lord and ask him to rescue my Units, and he tells me that if he could sack my fake liege lord’s Field Camp he already would have. That doesn’t change the fact that my Units are still trapped. They’re prisoners, even. I go AFK to sulk
Eleventh Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
Someone in my loser liege lord’s chat is pretending to be a caged pigeon that belonged to the Dual Blades player. Without asking permission or telling my loser liege lord goodbye, I tell the pigeon roleplayer it is now free and follow it north. Don’t ask what I was doing on my loser liege lord’s account. It’s not important
Twelfth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
I disguise myself as an apothecary NPC and enter the Field Camp of the player the pigeon guy led me to. In the middle of my little sleight of hand performance, I make eye contact with the player’s friend. IT’S THE APOTHECARY THAT STOLE MY LOSER LIEGE LORD’S WIFE. After I emote and pretend to drink some mead, I corner the fake apothecary and ask him what is going on and he says “it’s just not your day, is it?” and leaves. I don’t know what to say to that so I just let him go
Thirteenth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
I’m honestly so sick of not knowing what’s going on, so I adjust my apothecary NPC Attire to passably disguise myself as a female NPC and break into a women's-only server, where sure enough my loser liege lord’s wife is. I ask her what she’s doing here and she tells me the fake apothecary saw her post the copypasta, not knowing it contains the enemy player’s formation’s weaknesses. The fake apothecary kidnapped her and assigned an assassin to duel her husband before they figured out the copypasta’s significance. She shares the first line with me but I’m discovered and thrown out before she can share any more. She doesn’t need to. Through a bizarre coincidence of homophones, it’s the Maul version of my misinformation copypasta
Fourteenth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
I go back to my loser liege lord and tell him everything, urging him to join with my fake liege lord to attack the player according to the weaknesses in the copypasta. He tells me frankly that he doesn’t trust me anymore. I ask him to challenge me to a duel if that’s really true, because I can’t bear to live if i can’t protect him and I can’t protect my Units. He agrees to attack the player
Fifteenth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
Due to the information in the copypasta, and thanks to my loser liege lord reminding me of the weather conditions multiple times while planning our battle strategy, our House carries the day. My loser liege lord gets his wife back. My Units tell me that our fake liege lord actually treated them really well and they’d like to stay with him if I don’t mind. I do mind, now that neither the Units I love nor the player I love have any use for me, but I don’t tell them that
Sixteenth Day As A Conqueror’s Blade Warlord
I’m preparing to log off, to I don’t know where, maybe to try to become an apothecary for real, when my loser liege lord stops me and asks me where I’m going. He says he had hoped I would continue to play as his Seneschal. I was unaware I was his Seneschal in the first place. I agree, and he tells me he’s truly honoured to have me in his service at last. He has known I am a rare and talented man with a strategic intelligence far above his ever since the day he witnessed me tying branches to my Cavalry Units horses’ tails, and could not for the life of him figure out why

Behind The Scenes: Crescent Monks
Three new Units are available to add to your Warband in Conqueror’s Blade: Eternal, each inspired by the legends of Ancient China and bringing unique talents to the battlefield.
We spoke to the developers at Booming Tech about all things Eternal Units, from historical and mythological inspiration to tactical uses in battle.
Q: The Crescent Monks are based on the legendary hero Lu Zhishen from the classic Chinese novel Water Margin. What was it about this character that inspired you the most?
A: Lu Zhishen is known for his courage, righteousness, and strong sense of justice. He fought in countless battles and defeated innumerable enemies, ultimately achieving enlightenment and becoming a Buddhist monk. His story is widely known and admired by Chinese people as a beloved heroic figure. This Unit is mainly inspired by Lu Zhishen, and we aim to showcase his heroic spirit on the battlefield.
Q: The Monk’s Spade that this Unit wields is a very unique weapon and takes inspiration from old China, where Buddhist monks often carried shovels with them on the road to properly bury any corpses they found, as well as defend themselves against bandits. Why did you choose to give the Crescent Monks this weapon?
A: It's quite common for travelling Buddhist monks to carry a small shovel, which can come in handy in various situations. In times of war and turmoil, it's common to come across dead animals or even human corpses along the roadside, and compassionate monks can use their shovels to provide a proper burial for them.
Q: The Crescent Monks are great for crowd control with their sweeping motions with the Monk’s Spade. Do you see them as a viable option to choose as a pushing force in battle?
A: Crescent Monks possess an extraordinary amount of strength, making their area-of-effect attacks and crowd-control abilities extremely potent. However, due to the absence of armour protection, they are also highly susceptible to being controlled. Therefore, the optimal scenario for Crescent Monks is engaging in one-on-one combat or providing continuous output while being protected by allies on the front line. When facing multiple enemies alone or enemies with ranged abilities, they become vulnerable.
Q: Which Units would you pit the Crescent Monks against for a fearsome battle?
The Crescent Monks have some degree of advantage against all melee Units, but they have no means of counterattack against long-range Heroes, skills, or high-burst skills such as the charge of the Myrmillones or the sweeps of the Silahdars.
Q: There are only nine Monks in this Unit, what was the reason for their low numbers?
A: The Crescent Monks are designed as heroic characters with distinct personalities rather than just well-trained troops. Therefore, we opted for fewer numbers to emphasise their unique traits.
Check out the development Q&A of the Wuxing Pikemen here, and stay tuned for an upcoming Behind The Scenes look at the Yanyuedao Cavalry.

Strengths & Weaknesses
This Unit’s power of momentum is its greatest strength. The Yanyuedao Cavalry can mount a dreadful attack by charging up their violent incursions. While these fearsome riders are deadly to enemy Units, their weakness is against Heroes, where armour penetration is 50% less effective.

Dread Unleashed: The Unit crash into the enemy formation and let all that built-up momentum out in the form of violence.
Rushing Blow: The Yayuedao Cavalry move into contact with an enemy Unit and lay into them, causing devastating damage.
The Yanyuedao Cavalry is now available to unlock via Unit Challenges.
