What is the Mastery System?
The Unit Mastery System is a powerful progression feature in Conqueror’s Blade that allows you to upgrade select units beyond their standard capabilities. First introduced in Season 16: Sengoku, this system takes your traditional units to the next level by unlocking additional attributes, enhanced skills, and improved mechanics. The mastery system transforms underperforming units into competitive options that can stand against higher-tier opponents.
Unlocking the Mastery System
The Mastery System unlocks when you reach Level 35. Not all units have mastery available—only select units receive this upgrade path, with new units being added regularly (typically 2-3 units per Season). To access mastery for a specific unit:
- The unit must be unlocked in your barracks
- The unit must be leveled to maximum level (to max out mastery)
- Mastery must be available for that particular unit
Once these conditions are met, you’ll see a Mastery button in the unit’s profile in your barracks.
The 8 Mastery Tiers
Each unit’s mastery consists of 8 sequential upgrade nodes (numbered I through VIII). You must complete each tier in order before progressing to the next.
| Tier Category | Tiers | Scroll Type | Cost per Node |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower Mastery | 1-4 & 6-7 | Uncommon Scrolls (Green) | 10-60 scrolls per tier |
| Higher Mastery | 5 & 8 | Rare Scrolls (Blue) | 8-20 scrolls per tier |
Each tier unlocks powerful bonuses such as increased damage, armor penetration, reduced cooldowns, crowd control immunity, healing effects, and completely new skill mechanics.
How to Obtain Mastery Scrolls
| Acquisition Method | Frequency | Rewards | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honour Store | Weekly Refresh | Variable Uncommon/Rare Scrolls | Requires Honour currency; unlocks at Level 100 |
| Supply Token Exchange | Weekly | Converts Supply Tokens to Scrolls | Up to 173 Supply Tokens per week |
| Scroll Exchange | Anytime | 5 Uncommon → 1 Rare | Useful for upgrading scroll tiers |
Detailed Methods
Honour Store (Weekly Purchase)
Visit the Honour Store (accessible from the Unit Tree menu with the golden button). The store refreshes weekly with a limited number of mastery scrolls available for purchase using Honour currency. You earn Honour by completing Fief Quests, daily and weekly quests, and participating in PvP battles.
Supply Token Exchange
Earn Supply Tokens by completing daily quests and PvP activities. Exchange them weekly at the Supply Token Exchange for mastery scrolls. Additionally, there’s a Mastery Scroll Exchange where you can convert 5 Uncommon Scrolls to 1 Rare Scroll.
Monthly Mastery Limitations
By completing all available methods daily, you can fully master 1-3 units per month depending on the unit’s tier and scroll requirements. This makes strategic planning crucial—you must carefully choose which units to prioritize.
Best Units to Master First
| Priority Tier | Units | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Top Priority | Men-at-Arms (MAA) | Transforms from mediocre unit to one of the best in the game |
| Spear Seargents / Stalwarts | Gains huge selfheal and tankiness | |
| Imperial Pike Guards (IPG) | Enhanced anti-cavalry damage and CC capabilities | |
| Couteliers | Simple, effective and insanely good cav | |
| Second Priority | Imperial Javelineers | Strong damage dealers with improved abilities |
| Condottieri Guards / Longbows / Paladins | S-tier mastery units with excellent performance | |
| Dagger Lancer | Excellent Cavalary for mid/endgame |
Important Note: Without mastery, units like Men-at-Arms are considered weak and rarely used. Mastery transforms them into meta-defining powerhouses.
Mastery Scroll Management Tips
| Strategy | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Focus on 1-2 units at a time | Avoid spreading scrolls thin across many units |
| Prioritize units you frequently use | Maximize performance with your playstyle |
| Complete Mastery Commander daily | Maximize scroll accumulation |
| Buy all weekly scrolls from Honour Store | Don’t miss out on limited stock |
| Save scrolls for newly released units | Strong additions often merit investment |
Mastery Reset
If you want to redistribute mastery points, you can purchase a Mastery Reset Card using Conqueror’s Blades currency, though this is generally not recommended due to the high cost relative to earning new scrolls.
Key Takeaways
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| System Purpose | Transforms units into competitive powerhouses with enhanced mechanics |
| Unlock Level | Level 35 |
| Primary Currency | Uncommon Scrolls (Green) & Rare Scrolls (Blue) |
| Time Investment | 1-3 units fully mastered per month with daily engagement |
| Strategic Focus | Prioritize meta units and your main playstyle |
| Daily Requirements | Complete Mastery Commander 4 times + Honour Store purchases |
The Mastery System is essential for competitive play in Conqueror’s Blade. Units with full mastery significantly outperform their non-mastered counterparts, gaining crowd control immunity, enhanced damage, reduced cooldowns, and defensive buffs that fundamentally change their battlefield effectiveness. Since scrolls are time-gated and limited, strategic prioritization is crucial—focus on units that define the current meta and suit your playstyle. Completing the Mastery Commander event daily and purchasing weekly scrolls from the Honour Store will steadily build your mastered unit roster over time.
