Hello, friends! The game developers regularly add new unique fighters to the game that have their own unique abilities. Most of the units are designed for their own specific purposes, these can be offensive units for breakthroughs, defensive units, guarding the hero, and long-range units. In this case, units may have some advantage in relation to other enemy units.

Of course, on the battlefield, you can get confused and start up a squad on a stronger enemy. In this case, the allied unit will die, but there will be some delay in the enemy unit to further breakthroughs. Enemy heroes can increase and accelerate the losses of an allied squad, as they actively use abilities. In order for the squad to fight for a longer time, it is advisable to pick up places with a minimum number of enemy heroes or be with the majority of your allies.

The Standard Bearers unit can be obtained in several ways.  main way is to complete the test in the Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons event, you will need to complete a series of tasks.  second way is to wait for luck and get a squad in the Mercenaries tab, sometimes developers make players happy. The first method will make it possible to receive a detachment indefinitely, and the second, for one week.

Standard Bearers have several skills, two of them for support, and one for attack. At the same time, one ability makes it possible to increase the number of abilities, but at the expense of replacing the abilities of the hero. The squad can be considered support and protection of the hero, as some abilities allow you to improve the performance of other allied units. Therefore, the main location of the position is next to other allied units, defensive or attacking in close combat.

The health reserve of fighters is about 9429 units. There are 25 fighters in the squad. Fighters can inflict three types of attacks, penetrating attacks deal about 1274 damage, 1520 damage with slashing damage, 1021 damage with blunt attacks.

• Cooperation.

Grants the ability to transfer weapons to an allied hero, making it the most unique unit in the game. Transferring weapons from squad to hero is only available to Bannermen at the moment. Raise the banner and charge while surrounded by fighters, gaining an additional 5000 to your maximum health and a set of new skills.

• Mixed arsenal.

The “Banners” detachment consists of fighters with different weapons, fighters with swords and axes, and one fighter with a banner in his hands. banner trooper has 6000 additional HP and all defensive stats increased by 100. If this officer dies, the unit will not be able to use the “Place Banner” order.

• Desperate measures.

Resets the charge cooldown for all nearby allies and increases the damage they deal while charging.

In total, the standard-bearers have 3 types of formation and each formation is intended for its own moments. Formations can be used to attack or defend. At the same time, in a defensive formation, you need to understand which units you are defending from. For example, standard bearers do not have good protection against ranged units, with a long downtime, you can simply lose a unit.

• The first type of construction, “Open system”.

A special type of construction, in a scattered form, allows you to reduce damage from archer attacks. Since some of the fired arrows hit the ground. Nevertheless, the attacks from the archers are quite unpleasant, the standard-bearers will not be able to withstand for a long time, they can make out. It is desirable to be near buildings and behind shelters.

• Second formation, “Shiltron” or outpost formation.

In this formation, the “Banner-bearers” detachment stands in all-round defense, a fighter with a banner in the center. The formation is designed to protect the hero from melee fighters who are armed with swords. The unit can defend against enemy attacks and fight back by inflicting oncoming attacks.

It is advisable not to leave the unit in guard formation and move to another place when other enemy units are attacking. The standard-bearers will certainly be able to hold out for a while, but the effectiveness of them will not be great. The fact is that the “Sentry formation” is more suitable for protection against enemy squads with swords.

If, however, the unit is attacked by units with spears, pikes and other weapons with a long-range melee attack, then the unit will most likely lose. Since in the “Guard formation” the standard-bearers do not diverge to attack enemy fighters, but attack at arm’s length, keep the formation. Therefore, the effectiveness is mainly against enemy fighters armed with weapons such as a sword or an ax. Fighters with spears are also attacked, but less and when they come close.

• The third building, “Column”.

In this formation, the fighter with the banner goes to the front row, and the detachment lines up in a column. The formation is designed to attack enemies, as there is an ability to increase the performance in this formation. In addition, the formation is well suited for battles in narrow places.

1. “Establish a banner.”

One member of the Bannermen squad will plant a banner for 15 seconds. While the banner is planted, the defense of all allies within the radius will be increased by 50%. The second feature of the banner is the use as a weapon, for this the hero must take the banner in his hands. The banner in the hands of the hero replaces the weapon and changes abilities. Abilities are more for squad management.

Placing a banner on the ground does not prevent the unit from fighting and using other abilities. The only thing the unit can lose is additional bonuses from the banner effect if it moves outside the range of the deployed banner. This can happen when you need to attack a fleeing enemy or immediately attack after a successful defense.

The hero can hold the banner in his hands for about 45 seconds, it takes a few seconds to raise the banner. About 41 seconds are allocated for combat processes with a banner in hand. During this time, you can activate several available abilities, in place of your skills. If you use the banner as a melee weapon, then a successful hit deals about 1000 – 6000 damage, depending on the place of impact.

In addition, the hero receives additional health points in the amount of about 5000 units. But, he cannot sit on a horse or jump. But the banner gives priorities and a kind of combat process.

• Button “5”.

The hero brandishes the banner and thereby increases the defense of allies for 5 seconds. In fact, it is rarely used, since it does not give much priority.

• Button “9”.

After activation, the hero will begin to swing the banner around him and scatter enemy fighters in different directions, causing them decent damage. The radius of attack and dispersion of enemy fighters is decent, this allows you to well throw the enemy back and free up the territory around the hero. Effectively used when enemy fighters attack in a crowd, from one side.

• “Q” button.

Can only be activated when the unit is able to activate “Onslaught”. After activating the “Q” button, the hero directs the banner forward and performs a quick run forward, similar to “Onslaught”. At the same time, the detachment accelerates and runs after the hero. Good to use when you need to break the enemy formation or dense enemy attacks.

Depending on the formation, the unit receives additional points to the characteristics. Therefore, it is important to choose the right formation before attacks or defenses. If you do not use these bonuses, then the squad will not be able to be more effective.

• Attack.

For an attack, the construction of the “Column” is more suitable, in which case the activated bastion will increase damage by 200 units.

• Protection.

To get bonuses for defense, you need to activate a scattered formation (special formation) or guard formation (circular, to protect the hero). When building in a scatter formation, the unit will receive +100 defense and damage for 10 seconds. If the unit is in “Sentry formation”, then the defense is increased by 200 units.

3. Onslaught.

The Onslaught ability is designed to quickly attack enemy fighters and heroes. Under the effect of the onslaught, bannermen are able to break enemy formations and effectively attack.

It all depends on the preferences of the player, the upper branch allows you to improve the characteristics of abilities, the lower branch increases the security indicators of the squad. You can pump the entire lower branch and part of the upper branch. So, in our opinion, the detachment will be more tenacious and stronger.

• Units that should not be attacked.

It all depends on the chosen formation of the enemy unit and what stage it is in. If the enemy unit is in the “Onslaught” or “Forest of spears” stage, then it is better not to attack. Enemy units armed with spears and pikes in a busy Forest of Spears or defensive position are more likely to outperform bannermen.

Standard bearers will also lose to box units if they go on the offensive with Onslaught or a simple attack. For some reason, the standard-bearers do not break through the box well, even if the fighters with large shields are loose.

It is not recommended to let the standard-bearers on the Iron Guard, defeat is guaranteed. If you really had to, then in cases of delaying an enemy detachment. The damage to the Iron Guard fighters is good, but the standard bearers are not strong enough.

• Whom the bannermen will be able to defeat.

You can freely attack units of the 3rd era, which are armed with swords. In some cases, the bannermen can break through the onslaught of the enemy sword units with their onslaught. For example, units such as “Paladins”.

The squad is certainly not the best in the game Conquerors Blade, but the gameplay significantly diversifies. Since the hero can use other abilities and attack with a banner. In some cases, a banner in the hands of a hero can cause a lot of trouble for enemy fighters and heroes. In addition, the detachment has several onslaughts that have a positive effect on the combat process, you just need to understand who to apply the onslaught to.
