Warriors: New Commanders Enter the Arena

Head into battle alongside 2D Commanders (including Ultimate versions!) representing our event mode NPCs. New and returning 3D Commanders have been given VO to lend support to the fight!

         

In our latest special event, WARRIORS, four of history’s greatest fighters—Georg von Frundsburg, Meng Tian, Marcus Claudius Marcellus, and Minamoto No Yoshiie—are coming to our battlefields. They’ll be fighting in event mode battle brackets each week to determine which one is the best of the best.

But no warrior, no matter how skilled, can triumph alone, a fact that you know well, Commander.

So we’re bringing you a whole roster of Commanders as part of the Warriors event. Recruit them to assist you as you join our competition!

Read on to learn more about some of the special Commanders that will be available.

New: Warriors Combatant Commanders

Each week of Warriors, when you join our special event mode battles, you and six other players will be on a team supporting one of four great warriors, each represented in battle by an NPC tank.

Week 1: Georg von Frundsburg vs. Meng Tian
Week 2: Marcus Claudius Marcellus vs. Minamoto no Yoshiie
Week 3: Winner of Week 1 vs. Winner of Week 2

To commemorate this competition, we’ve created 2D Commanders representing each combatant.

Not only that—we’ve made two versions of each warrior: a Standard Commander (starts with one open Skill slot and earns Commander XP at the regular rate) and an Ultimate version (starts with all nine Skill slots open and earns Commander XP at a +30% bonus rate).

That’s right: for the first time, you can get Ultimate 2D Commanders!

Here’s where you’ll be able to get the different versions of these specific Commanders throughout Warriors:

  • 2D Standard Commanders:
    • Warriors War Chests
    • Rewards for weekly Warriors Community Challenges
  • Ultimate 2D Commanders:
    • Exclusively inside Warriors War Chests

More information about the contents of Warriors War Chests will be available in a News article on Tuesday, May 12.

Supporting Warriors: 3D Commanders

Our main combatants aren’t the only ones who heard the call to battle!

We’ll have four 3D Hero Commanders available as part of Warriors. New to the roster is the Germanic knight who has sworn his allegiance to Georg von Frundsburg, Ulrich der Wieseljäger!

Ulrich Der Wieseljager 3D Hero Commander

As you can tell, in addition to starting with three open Skill slots and earning Commander XP at a +30% bonus rate like all Hero Commanders, Ulrich also comes with his own custom voiceover.

But he isn’t the only one. Returning to support our combatants are three player-favorite 3D Hero Commanders:

Zhu Teng Long

(Affiliated with Meng Tian)
Zhu Teng Long Icon

Leaena

(Affiliated with Marcus Claudius Marcellus)
Leaena Icon

Gunpei Takeda

(Affiliated with Minamoto no Yoshiie)
Gunpei Takeda Icon

While Leaena has always had custom VO, Zhu Teng Long and Gunpei Takeda have received new custom VO as part of this event, giving you four 3D Commanders who will rally your troops and lift your spirits with their voices during battle! (If you already own Zhu Teng Long or Gunpei Takeda, your Commander has already received the new VO.)

Here’s where you can get each of these 3D Commanders:

Ulrich der Wieseljäger

· In a standalone Store bundle during Week 1


· In a standalone bundle during Week 3 if Georg von Frundsburg is a Week 3 event battle contestant!
Zhu Teng Long

· In a standalone Store bundle during Week 1


· In a standalone bundle during Week 3 if Meng Tian is a Week 3 event battle contestant!

Gunpei Takeda

· In a standalone Store bundle during Week 2

Get your Commanders while you can during Weeks 1 and 2—we don’t know who will be returning during Week 3!

Supporting Warriors: 2D Commanders

You can never have too many allies. We’ve also created brand-new 2D versions of our 3D supporting warrior Commanders!
