Greetings Warlander! This weekend's 5-Army Battles will take place on the new Victory Bell map! For more on this map, check out the patchnotes and the video we released the other day!
Greetings Warlander! Here are the details of the October 7 update.
New Features
A new 5-team battle map "The Bell of Decisive Battle" will be implemented.
The number of towers in The Bell of Decisive Battle is five, significantly fewer than in The pentagon (the existing five-team map), making each tower more important, and the key to victory is how well you can keep your towers in place. Also, whereas the pentagon had different terrain and fortress for each team, the terrain and fortress in The Bell of Decisive Battle are similar for all teams.
There are three routes to attack the castle, with a battering ram and siege tower on each of the left and right lanes. The central route has no weapons, but catapults can be used to attack the central route gate. The Special Ops who cover with catapults and the Assault Squad who rush into the castle must work well together to break into the castle.
Team skills " Hymn of War" and "Battlecry" will be implemented with additional effects for squad members
Hymn of War
The amount of armor granted to all participants will change depending on the participation of squad members
1 member: 25
2 members: 85
3 members: 145
4 members: 200
Armor value upper limit 200
Squad member participation grants [Increased Natural Recovery] (buff) to members only when they are not in combat.
Without buffs: Warrior and Mage recovery limit 50%, automatic recovery rate 4%/s, time to trigger automatic recovery 10s
With buffs: Warrior and Mage recovery limit 100%, automatic recovery rate 4%/s, time to trigger automatic recovery 5s
Values are subject to adjustment.
Buffs are subject to the skill "Dispel".
Battle Cry
The duration and level of the buff for the attack power increase buff for all participants will change depending on the participation of squad members.

2 members: buff duration 70s, buff level 3
3 members: buff duration 120s, buff level 5
4 members: buff duration 160s, buff level 7
Buff duration upper limit 160s

Duration and buff level do not change depending on the number of members
Buffs are subject to the skill "Dispel".
With the addition of squad member effects, the UI display for team skills will be modified
A "Portal Gate" that only members of the same team can pass through will be added to the Cleric Ult "Turret Wall".
No bullet can pass through.
Allied bot and alliance team members cannot pass through
New products will be added to the shop.
A new function "Treasure Hunt" will be implemented in the shop.
This is a new feature that allows you to obtain random items by spending Goldin.
You can acquire a variety of skins, including skins that have been sold in the past.
We will also continue to add skins that can only be obtained through the Treasure Hunt.
A new feature "Survey" will be implemented.
A QR code linked to an external survey page will be displayed in the game.
A survey field will be added to the Questionnaire section of the top menu to take you to the survey page.
Improvements & Changes
Bot Commander's instructions have been adjusted.
Key help for switching pages has been added along with the addition of scrolling operations in the store
The icon display in the shop has been adjusted and changed to make it easier to see which categories and products are on sale.
When an ally receiving Energy Blessing attacks an enemy, an effect and SE have been added to the reticle to indicate that the ally is attacking the Energy Blessing activator.
Changed so that when there is an allied player (including oneself) inside the Cleric skill “Sphere Shield”, the Cleric will receive Valor points if the Sphere Shield is hit by an enemy's long-range attack.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue in which all icons indicating the color of the model displayed next to the item name of modern warfare equipment were displayed in gray.
Fixed an issue where guarding the alternate projectiles of the " Turret Wall" ballista could cause the ballista to not accept any action other than guarding.
Fixed an issue with the "Turret Wall" where it was possible to climb and stand on it from the side.
Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented matching from starting if you left the party at the same time you entered the matching.
Fixed a bug that could cause unintended UI and behavior when attempting to activate the "Turret Wall" in certain positions.
Fixed an issue where the "Turret Wall", when placed on a breakable scaffold, would sometimes remain floating in mid-air without breaking even if the scaffold was no longer there.

Steam version only: Fixed a bug in which switching the control type on the character slot selection screen did not switch the key helper for skills.

Fixed a bug with the “Tower Rock” Arcane Art that sometimes prevented it from correctly appearing on the Map and Mini Map.
Fixed a bug that could sometimes prevent other players from piloting a Robot if the original pilot was disconnected from the game.
In order to fix the game version and network issues being experienced by some Xbox and PS5 players since Oct 4, we will be performing our Oct 8 scheduled update and maintenance today instead.
Maintenance will start at 2:30 am UTC and is expected to last until 3:00 am UTC. You will not be able to access the game during this time. There may also be a need for follow-up updates later on.
Maintenance: Oct 7, 2:30 am UTC - Oct 7, 3:00 am UTC
Regarding the Warlander Reboot and What It Means for the Current Version of the Game
Dear Warlanders, Thank you for always playing Warlander.
The Warlander Team is currently gearing up to work on a major Warlander reboot. The purpose of this reboot is to make fundamental changes and bold improvements to the game's systems. Due to the fact that this process will require the entire team's full attention and resources, major updates will no longer be made to Warlander after Season 6.
Although there will be no major updates, we will continue to balance and fix the game and provide customer support. There will also be monthly Shop and Treasure Hunt updates and weekly campaigns and sales. Additionally, we may also hold preview events, such as the 2-Army Great War preview event.
All purchased Avatar items, Emblems, and skins will carry over to the rebooted version. However, because there is a chance that changes will be made to Equipment and the character advancement system, we will cease all sales of paid booster items from Season 7 and onward. Booster items will still be obtainable as event and in-game rewards.
We intend to release the Warlander reboot sometime next year and are fully committed to making it an incredible experience. Words cannot express how grateful we are to all of you for continuing to play our creation, and we want this reboot to be our way of thanking all of you. We intend to continue to develop and nurture Warlander, and we hope we can count on you to remain with us on this journey.
There will be an update on Oct 10, 9:00 am UTC that includes the new "The Bell of Decisive Battle" 5-Army Battle map and the new "Treasure Hunt" Shop system.
Details will be announced later! Stay tuned for more information.
In preparation for the update, maintenance will be conducted from around 8:30 am UTC on the same day. Please note that you will not be able to access the game during maintenance.
The Modern Warfare Equipment Drop Rate Up Campaign is coming to Warlander at Friday, Sep. 20, 9:00 am UTC and will run until Monday, Sep. 23, 9:00 am UTC!
During this period, the drop rate of modern warfare equipment will be increased by +25%! Don't miss it!
