Overview of Recent Updates
The development trajectory for Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms has shifted from targeted combat balancing to the introduction of new gameplay systems. The October 12 update focused on refining specific Hero Soul mechanics, while the October 21 update introduced the Joint Campaign mode and expanded reward structures for Faction Wars.
October 21 Update: Joint Campaign and Rewards
The October 21 update introduced the Joint Campaign gameplay mode, which is available across the Central Plains, Jingyang, Hebei, and Guanzhong regions. This mode includes a specific attempt system: players start with 5 attempts, recover 1 attempt daily, and can store a maximum of 10 attempts. A limited-time Battle Pass for this mode runs from 2026/10/21 to 2026/11/10.
System adjustments also include new methods for Reputation recovery. Players can now recover Reputation through daily active gameplay, with a maximum limit of 100 points. Specific activities such as defeating wandering bandits or participating in Quell Rebellions, Yellow Turban Camp, and various Drills contribute to this recovery.
Additionally, the Faction War Battle Score reward tiers for Wushu Coins have been expanded from 6 tiers to 10 tiers, providing more granular rewards for participants.

October 12 Update: Hero Soul Adjustments
The October 12 update focused on combat balance, specifically targeting basic attacks and the Volley skill. The maximum range for basic attacks was set to 30 meters, with a significant damage reduction for targets beyond 20 meters. The Volley skill received adjustments to its initial elevation angle and arrow spread, intended to prevent all projectiles from concentrating on a single target.

Furthermore, the effectiveness of the Volley skill adjustments in actual combat scenarios remains subject to player experience and future developer monitoring.
