I. Season Units

New Unit Introduction — 3-Star: Yellow Turban Chanters

Background Story:

• At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a folk religion known as the "Way of Peace" quietly grew amidst a declining empire and frequent natural disasters. Its founder, calling himself the "Great Teacher," created a doctrine based on the mystic text Taiping Jing. By performing talismanic magic and providing relief to refugees, he won the hearts of the people. Ultimately, under the slogan "The Blue Sky is dead, the Yellow Sky will rise," they launched a rebellion known to history as the "Yellow Turban Rebellion."
• Most participants in the Yellow Turban army were local refugees who lacked formal military training, but they relied on unorthodox arts to aid them in battle. By drinking specially prepared talisman water, their fanatical devotion to the Yellow Sky allowed these volunteers to forget their pain and recover rapidly. During fierce combat, believers invoked the resonance between heaven and humanity, seeking the Yellow Sky's blessing to fight with ever-increasing ferocity.

Unit Features:

• Followers of the Way of Peace who support and buff allies on the battlefield.
  • Sprinkle talisman water to heal allies, saving the dying and aiding the wounded.
  • The Will of Yellow Sky removes control effects and mitigates damage, standing fearless in the face of danger.

Skill Design:

• [Skill 1: Cleansing Waters]: Immediately restores a portion of maximum health for self and allies within range, granting immunity to abnormal states such as Bleeding and Burning.
• [Skill 2: Will of Yellow Sky]: The unit gains a rapidly decaying damage reduction effect over time. Immediately removes control effects from self and surrounding allies.

New Unit Introduction — 5-Star: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry

Background Story:

• In the early years of the Jian'an era, after a great enemy was decisively defeated at the Battle of Guandu, the founder of the Wei state firmly secured his foothold in northern China. To wipe out the remaining enemy forces and counter the threat of northern nomadic tribes, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to take shape. Led by the Cao clan, they became renowned as the "fiercest elite in the realm."
• The individual combat quality of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was exceptionally high. Most who joined this force were already junior commanders in the army. Not only were they extraordinarily brave, but they were also battle-hardened and highly disciplined, maintaining immense resilience regardless of the hardships faced. Excelling at long-distance pursuits, they embodied the principle that "speed is paramount in war." Even after riding hundreds of miles day and night, this cavalry could immediately launch a devastating charge, annihilating hastily prepared enemy forces like tigers and leopards tearing through a flock of sheep. Countless heroes fell to their blades, and during the Battle of Changban, they nearly captured the founding emperor of Shu Han alive.

Unit Features:

• An elite cavalry comprised of the realm's fiercest warriors, earning an illustrious combat record across the land.
• With highly flexible charging capabilities, they can adapt to highly complex battlefield situations.
• Their highly destructive sweeping attacks can easily shatter enemy formations.

Skill Design:

• [Skill 1: Predator Charge]: Launches a charge toward the target location.
• [Skill 2: Leopard Hunt]: Seeks out enemies for a dashing attack, during which they can use a sweeping strike to change direction toward the target.
• [Skill 3: Tiger Leap]: Leaps and sweeps out of formation, moving in a designated direction.

New Unit Introduction — 5-Star: White Plume Guards

Background Story:

• Legend has it that before declaring himself emperor and founding the state of Shu Han, the monarch had already cultivated a group of personal bodyguards. According to historical records, he was fond of crafting plume ornaments from yak hair, often gifting them to friends and loyal guards. Over time, the armor of these bodyguards became adorned with these plumes, earning them a new name: the White Plume Guards.
• The original members of the White Plume Guards hailed from Danyang commandery, a region famous for producing elite soldiers. Though serving primarily as defenders, their combat proficiency was exceptionally high, acting as an assault force when necessary. Their absolute loyalty to their lord made them the ultimate "vanguard" and "crisis responders" on the battlefield, excelling at holding strategic chokepoints and making resolute advances against overwhelming odds. At Changban, it was the White Plume Guards who stalled the offensive of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and at Mount Dingjun, they helped the veteran general earn his title among the "Five Tiger Generals." Later, the unit absorbed many fierce Qiang warriors, making their combat capabilities even more well-rounded. Yet, their loyalty to Shu Han never wavered, earning them the title of the "supreme troops of Shu."

Unit Features:

• Excels at defense and protection, utilizing guarding and blocking to outmaneuver enemies while skills are active.
• When contesting strategic locations, they gain [Resolve], which strengthens their damage mitigation capabilities.
• The unyielding will of Shu Han erupts in desperate situations, granting immunity to fatal blows.

Skill Design:

• [Skill 1: White Plume Defense]: Ignores control effects and rapidly forms a special formation. Upon completion, defense values are increased.
• [Skill 2: Shattering Bash]: The White Plume Guards raise their shields to Knockdown enemies within range, dealing massive damage while increasing defense values.
• [Skill 3: Long Live the Han]: Consumes all "Resolve" to enter a fight-to-the-death state. While in this state, the unit's health remains at a minimum threshold and they cannot be killed.

IV. Season Map

Background

Map Structure

[Camp Area]

• [Guan Yu] is a capable Hero assisting the attackers in capturing the camp. While contesting [Point A], the attacking side should take care to protect [Guan Yu].
• Leveraging the structural advantages of the camp, the defending side must guard [Point A] while dispatching forces to attack [Guan Yu]. Successfully defeating [Guan Yu] will strengthen the Base's defensive line.

[Wall Area]

• [Hua Xiong] is the defending side's commanding Hero. If [Guan Yu] survives before [Point A] is captured, [Hua Xiong] will lower the drawbridge and ride out of the pass to fight [Guan Yu].
• Attackers can assault the [Base] via the drawbridge, gaining an advantageous attack route; defenders must balance defending the [Base] and protecting [Hua Xiong].
• If [Guan Yu] dies before [Point A] is captured, drawbridge guards will defend the wall after [Point A] is lost. Attackers must slay them down to lower the drawbridge.
• In this scenario, [Hua Xiong] will assist the defenders in guarding the [Base], strengthening the defending side's defensive line.

• In short, if the attackers can ensure Guan Yu's survival before Point A is lost, it will be easier to open an attack route to the Base. If Guan Yu is defeated early, the defenders will gain a stronger defensive advantage in the subsequent phases.

[Base Area]
