Crown and Cross

The expedition commences — the clash of Crown and Cross awaits. This time, whom will you fight for?
Beneath the cracks of a new era, faith clashes with ambition.
Will you enforce bold reforms with an iron fist, or defend ancient creeds to the end?
Your choice will shape the fate of Sacrum Romanum!

Order is forged in the fires, and honor is defined by steel.
Will you stand as the steadfast lord, honing your blade in blood and mire?
Or rise as the Emperor himself, ending the age of chaos with an iron will?
The fate of the empire hangs upon the Crown and Cross.
Forge your legacy!

Seasonal Unit

3- Star: Doppelsoldner

Unit Background

The Doppelsoldner are an elite infantry unit hailing from the ranks of mercenaries in the Holy Roman Empire during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Named for the heavy two-handed swords they bore and the double wages they earned, these warriors fought on the very front lines, risking their lives for twice the pay of ordinary mercenaries. Founded by Emperor Maximilian I to counter the famed Swiss mercenaries, the unit was composed primarily of seasoned veterans. Their weapon—the flamberge two-handed greatsword—measured up to 180 centimeters in length and weighed over 3.5 kilograms, specially crafted and carried wrapped in leather for protection. It is said that these double-pay mercenaries wielded their immense swords to break through pike formations, particularly those of the Swiss. With mighty swings, they shattered spearheads or swept aside pikes, striking directly at the enemy and collapsing their ranks.

Unit Characteristics：

• Imperial mercenaries with unique effects against specific enemies and in certain scenarios.
• Masters of the two-handed greatsword, unleashing sweeping area damage with every swing.
• Their battle song carries a silencing effect, disabling enemy skills within range.

Skill Design：

• Skill 1: Windmill (Unleash a flurry of greatsword attacks)
• Skill 2: Song of Landsknecht (Battle song silences enemies)

4- Star: Zealot

Unit Background

They are the most faithful guardians of imperial creed, clad in Milanese plate with sigil shields and hammers of judgment. They hold the line like stone and purge heresy with crushing blows.

Yet years facing the dark have stained their souls with a touch of madness. When the heretics surge without cease, the guards' repressed bloodlust is loosed. They cast aside shields, tear of livery of order, and become inquisitors wielding great two‑handed mauls — each swing carrying the purging fire and sacred wrath.

Unit Characteristics：

• Carnage on the field lays bare the Zealots' nature, increasing [Mad Malice]. Killing 3‑star‑and‑below units and other Heraldic units grants more [Mad Malice]. At max, transform into "Inquisitor".
• The smooth, shell‑like plates can deflect blows, reducing damage taken by 18% and offering some fire resistance; the asymmetrical left pauldron provides superior protection for blocking when meeting the foe.
• While transformed into "Inquisitors", they will anoint their weapon with black powder. Each strike burns the target and triggers a small blast

Skill Design：

• Normal State
• Skill 1: Righteous Charge – Launches a fearless charge toward the target location.
• Skill 2: Zeal Whirlwind – Spins the sacred hammer around a pivot of faith, sweeping through foes.
• Skill 3: Judgment Day – Takes on the aspect of the judge, purging all in divine fire!
• Judge State
• Skill 1: Dies iræ – Slams the holy hammer into the earth, unbalancing nearby enemies before sending them flying.
• Skill 2: Saeclum in Favilla – Unleashes a flurry of holy hammer swings, each blow erupting in a cascade of small blasts.

5- Star: Order of the Dragon

Unit Background

Drawn from the highest nobility and armored in plate etched with the ouroboros, they fight not for coin or fame — for their very being is the Empire's highest honor.

When the horns of expedition sound, their singular "Sacred Expedition" makes their charge dragon‑swift and deadly, rending lines thought unbreakable. Beneath the imperial banner, they are both arbiters of justice and bearers of blessed light.

Unit Characteristics：

• An elite order of knights formed by monarchs and nobles from across the land. They answer only to the Emperor's command, sworn to battle the enemies of the Empire.
• When [Emperor's Expedition] is activated, you enter a special control mode where the Unit's movement and abilities are directed by mouse.
• Their masterfully crafted gilded armor not only marks their noble status but also offers formidable protection.

Skill Design：

• Skill 1: Emperor's Expedition – Enter a unique control mode: change your perspective and use the mouse to command Unit movement and unleash skills.
• Skill 2: Sacred Verdict – Deliver swift justice with your sword; unleash a flurry of attacks to deal burst damage.
• Skill 3: Blessing of Light – Remove continuous damage effects from yourself and restore health.

Battlefield Score

• Players are now awarded real-time scores for various in-match actions.

• The impact damage effect during [Squall Edict] status is not included.
•   *If the corresponding Unit Training Node is activated, the minimum collision speed is set to 6.

"Instability" System

• The Empire Chariot Instability System has been added:
  • Heavy Weapons inflict more Instability Value per hit, such as the Maul.
  • Melee Weapons inflict greater Instabilityty Value per hit than Ranged Weapons.
  • Weapons with combo damage or high-frequency attacks accumulate more Instability Value, such as Dual Blades.
  • All Ultimate Skills of Weapons inflict extremely high Instability Value, even if they do not have Knock Up effect.
  • Ambush and Accurate strike both grant additional single-hit Instability Value.
  • Melee Units generate greater Instability Value compared to Ranged Units.
  • Burning Damage causes higher Instability Value than other damage types.
  • Cavalry Units inflict higher Instability Value when dealing damage.
  • Chariot collisions result in extremely high Instability Value.
  • Ambush and Accurate strike both grant additional single-hit Instability Value.
  • If a Hero is controlling the Chariot at this moment, the Hero will be knocked off and will fall to the ground.
  • If there are allied Heroes from the same faction near the Chariot during "Overturn", they will also receive the Knock Up effect due to the overturn.
• Initial Instability Value is 0.
• When the Empire Chariot receives damage from different Weapons, Instability Value varies according to Weapon type and skills:
• When all Units deal damage to the Empire Chariot, various Unit types and damage types will inflict extra Instability Value:
• Large Siege Artillery, such as Trebuchet, now inflict higher Instability Value damage. Player-deployed small Artillery will inflict varying Instability Value damage depending on the ammo type.
• When the Empire Chariot's Instability Value reaches its maximum, it will "Overturn": the Chariot's maximum speed reduces to 0; speed is decreased by 100% and this effect lasts for 8 seconds. The effect occurs even if the Chariot is not being controlled by a Hero.
• After the "Overturn" effect ends (after 8 seconds), Instability Value resets, and all negative effects caused by the "Overturn" are removed. Instability Value accumulation starts again.
• If the maximum value is not reached, Instability Value will decrease over time.
• Instability Value Recovery reduced by 25 points every 3 seconds
• The Empire Chariot's battlefield Health bar and the Units' Health display in the lower left corner will now show information related to the Instability System.
• Updated the description text for the active skill [Thunder Mandate] and the unit's trait tag [Thunderous Gallop].
• When a target is hit again by the Empire Chariot in a short period, the damage received is reduced by 25%. If struck continuously, damage can be reduced by up to 85%. This effect lasts for 5 seconds.
• A corresponding resistance buff will now be displayed and explained in the player character's status bar.
