2. Ranked Battle Adjustments
[Ranked Battles], as the core gameplay of Conqueror's Blade, has always been the arena where many warlords truly shine. Through the qualifiers of the CBL event this time, we've noticed that the sheer joy of combat might be overshadowed by the current rank settlement mechanism. Therefore, taking into account your feedback and drawing inspiration from numerous other ranking systems in our game, we are fine-tuning the means of settlement for [Ranked Battles] this season.
Before: Rewards for the [Ranked Battle] Season were based on the rank at the time of settlement.
After: Rewards for the season will now be based on the highest rank achieved during the current Ranked Battle Season.
This adjustment aims to offer all warlords a more down-to-earth set of combat rules. Under this framework, both rank rewards and the battle experience will receive a certain level of assurance.
3. NPC Entrance Adjustments
(1) Warlords can now access the [Free Training Camp] through the [Master-at-Arms].
(2) Warlords can now access the [Unit Training Camp] through the [Billeting Officer].

Optimized the process of acquiring rewards from [Surveys].
5. OB System
(1) In the OB mode, observers can now quickly switch positions by clicking on the mini-map in the bottom right corner. An overhead view from 20 meters above the ground will be presented.
(2) In the OB mode, some display issues such as overlapping icons of heroes and units are solved.

[/*] Fixed the issue where bringing [Claymores] may cause server lagging. [/*] Fixed the issue where the actual effect of bleed duration increase of [Namkhan Archers] was not matched with its description.
