2. Alliance Tactics

New Alliance tactics will be available in the regular season of Legion of Frostborne. Alliance tactics provide all Alliance members with powerful battlefield support. The Alliance Leader (R6) or Officers (R5) can use tactics to provide all Alliance members with protection on the battlefield.

• Tactic Points

1. Activation – Alliance tactics must be activated before they can be used. To activate a tactic, your Alliance must first earn Tactic Points.

2. Obtaining Tactic Points – Tactic Points are obtained from Gnome cities. After your Alliance occupies a Gnome city, it will obtain a certain amount of Tactic Points at regular intervals. The higher the level of the occupied city, the more Tactic Points your Alliance will obtain.

• Tactic Types

1. Military Tactics – Military tactics provide attack boosts that give Alliance members an offensive advantage in battle. The best defense is a strong offense.

2. Expansion Tactics – Expansion tactics apply to Thermal Tower effects, and can increase the advantages provided by your Alliance’s Thermal Towers. They also include tactics that can weaken the effect of enemy Thermal Towers.

3. Defense Tactics – Defense tactics concentrate on providing defensive boosts that give Alliance members a defensive advantage in battle. Establish a sturdy defense to create opportunities to counterattack.

• Using Tactics

1. Categories – Alliance tactics are categorized into passive tactics and active tactics.

2. Taking Effect – Passive tactics take effect after being activated. Active tactics must be used by the Alliance Leader (R6) or Officers (R5) before they can take effect.

3. Range – Tactic effects apply to all Alliance members whose territory is in the Frozen Realm.

• Resetting and Switching Tactics

1. Setting Tactics – To adapt to the ever-changing battlefield, Alliance management must initially set 3 different tactic combinations, then switch between these combinations in response to the current situation.

2. Switching Tactics – Switching combinations does not consume resources, but after switching, there is a waiting period before you can switch tactics again.

3. Resetting Tactics – Activated tactic combinations can be reset, upon which all Tactic Points will be refunded, so you can use them to activate other tactics.

3. Illusion Battlefield Special Topic

An “Illusion Battlefield” special topic will be added to the Daily Talks to gather and disseminate the latest competition news. The special topic will be updated as the Illusion Battlefield competition on your server progresses, allowing Lords to learn and discuss strategies with each other.

• Special Topic Updates

1. Pre-competition period – The Illusion Battlefield special topic will appear in Daily Talks 48 hours before registration for the competition begins.

2. Competition period – During the competition, the special topic will recommend 10 exciting matches, allowing you to watch them in live broadcasts or replays. To ensure the fairness of the competition, live broadcasts will have a delay of 5 minutes. You cannot pause or change the playback speed of live broadcasts.

3. Post-competition period – The special topic will remain for 7 days after the competition ends, allowing you to watch match replays. After 7 days, the special topic will no longer be displayed.

• Match Recommendation Criteria

The system will recommend matches in the current round of the Illusion Battlefield based on Alliances’ winning odds, winning streaks, and other parameters.

• Interactive Features

You can view live broadcasts or replays. You can also like matches, post comments, or share matches to a chat channel.

4. Pre-arranged Units

You will be able to pre-arrange different troop formations that you can switch between for different combat situations.

• Unlock Conditions – Reach Lord Lv. 32.
• Creating Pre-arranged Units – Tap the button in the top right of the Units interface to access the pre-arranged unit feature. You can then edit various troop combinations and give them names.
• Limitations – You can create a maximum of 3 pre-arranged units.
• Using Pre-arranged Units – Tap the “Use” button to quickly switch to the troop formation you want to use.

5. Exclusive Immortal Artifacts

Exclusive Immortal artifacts are artifacts that have been exclusively made for a certain Immortal. They will unleash the full potential of that Immortal. You need complete exclusive Immortal artifact schematics to forge exclusive Immortal artifacts.

• If an Immortal equips their own exclusive artifact, their exclusive skill will be unlocked. The exclusive skill is a massively improved version of the Immortal’s ultimate skill.
• If an Immortal equips the exclusive artifact of a different Immortal of the same class, they will enjoy its attribute bonuses, but their exclusive skill will not be unlocked.

6. New Immortals

Hammurabi

• Element: Lightning
• Rarity: Epic Troop

OPTIMIZATIONS

In Version 1.8, we have added features to help new Lords join Alliances and learn the basics of the game. We have also made some optimizations to provide a smoother game experience.

1. Alliance

• Alliance Recommendations

Updated the Alliance recommendation system to recommend suitable Alliances based on Power and language.

• Alliance Declaration

Added translation and translation review features to help you read Alliance declarations written in other languages.

Added the “Immortal Skill Effect Details” chapter to the Development part of the guide. This chapter categorizes and gives detailed explanations of Immortal skills, their effects, and status effects.

3. Login Rewards

Log in for 300 days total or 200 days in a row to receive a corresponding commemorative Avatar Frame. Lords who have already reached the requirements will be able to claim their rewards after the update is complete.

4. Legion of Frostborne

Following the end of the trial season, our developers have listened closely to your feedback, and made comprehensive optimizations to the gameplay, balance, and visual effects of Legion of Frostborne. Legion of Frostborne now has more gentle survival requirements, tighter cooperative gameplay, and more room for strategizing. We cordially invite you to the Frozen Realm once more to experience the newly optimized content, and share your feedback with us. With your guidance, we will continue to improve Legion of Frostborne, as well as develop new exciting game modes in the future!

New Attack and Garrison Limitations

• Applies To: Cities and Checkpoints in the Frozen Realm
• Limitations

1. When Attacking: At least one grid occupied by the target city or checkpoint must be within the range of the Thermal Towers of your Alliance or friendly Alliances. Otherwise, you cannot dispatch troops to attack the city/checkpoint.

2. Contested: If no grids occupied by the target city or checkpoint are within range of the Thermal Towers of your Alliance or friendly Alliances, you cannot dispatch troops to attack the city/checkpoint. If you already have troops marching to garrison the city/checkpoint, these troops will return immediately upon arrival. However, troops already garrisoned in the Wall or districts of the city/checkpoint will not be recalled due to loss of Thermal Tower range. 3. After Occupation: Already occupied cities and checkpoints will not be lost even if they fall outside the Thermal Tower range of your Alliance or friendly Alliances.

Increased Resource Deposit Capacity

To make it easier to survive in the Frozen Realm, the capacity of Lv.8 or higher resource deposits in the Frozen Realm has been increased.

Design Optimizations

Added visual effects from when Gnome cities in the Frozen Realm have been damaged or are being repaired, so the battle situation is more clear.

UI Optimizations

• Color Tags

All servers participating in the Legion of Frostborne will be allocated a color. Your Territory Decoration, marching troops, marching lines, and territory markers on the mini-map will be the same color as your server. This makes it easier to read the battle situation.

• Enemy and Ally Tags

Friendly and enemy Alliances will be marked more clearly, so you can easily tell friends from foes.

• Chronicle Calculation Rules

Optimized rules for calculating Thermal Tower production/building objectives in the Legion Chronicle. Thermal Towers produced and built before the relevant Chronicle Chapter starts will also be calculated towards fulfilling the objective.

• Building Thermal Towers

After completing a Thermal Tower’s construction, the construction troops will automatically return.

5. Other Optimizations

• Login Screen: Changed to a brand-new Legion of Frostborne login background. Also added a Customer Service button so you can easily contact us if you encounter any problems.
• Dragon Chests: You will be able to use keys or Gems to unlock other chests while waiting for a Dragon Chest to be purified.
• Hall of Immortals: The chance of summoning each Immortal or Immortal Fragment at the Hall of Immortals will be accurately displayed.
• Daily Talks: Press Officers will be able to add an eye-catching title when publishing news.
• Wonderful Journey: Added the Skip (to skip animations) and Consecutive Roll features.
