Balance Adjustment：
Introduction：
Low-star units have long struggled to perform effectively on high-star battlefields, significantly limiting both strategic diversity and tactical depth. With this round of Mastery and Leadership adjustments, we aim to take the first step toward expanding viable unit choices across the battlefield.
Our plan begins with 2-star and 3-star units. For each of these lower-star units, we try to provide a scenarios where their strengths can be maximized. When Warlords deploy them strategically in the right situations, they will reap significant rewards—turning the tide and achieving victory against stronger foes.
Currently, low-star units face two major issues. First, many of them suffer from outdated mechanics and underwhelming base stats. We will address this through targeted balance and Mastery adjustments, guided by real-time battlefield performance data. This should help most low-star units meet the strength thresholds of high-star battles. Second, under the influence of Leadership-reduction Doctrines, the Leadership cost-efficiency of 3-star units is only about 50% that of some 4- or 5-star units. We are actively analyzing data to redefine the Leadership cost of low-star units, ensuring that—when used strategically—they can trade favorably against higher-cost enemy units.
Looking ahead, we will also rework particularly underperforming masteries and adjust weaker 4- and 5-star units, ensuring every point of Leadership spent delivers its intended value.
