Conquest of Nine Kingdoms S2 Season Transition Guide

To successfully transition from Season 1 to Season 2 in Conquest of Nine Kingdoms, focus on locking in hero growth before the S1 reset and efficiently deploying saved assets during the initial days of S2. Carry-over mechanics allow you to maintain core hero investments while resetting territorial claims and map positioning.

End-of-Season Preparation in S1

Preparing your account before S1 closes prevents early-game bottlenecks in S2 and eliminates the need to rebuild essential squad kits from scratch.

Hero Growth and Skill Extraction

• Level Core Heroes: Raise high-rarity and top-tier squad heroes to their maximum available level threshold to preserve combat readiness for early S2 skirmishes.
• Extract Rare Skills: Finalize hero builds by extracting key active and passive skills before S1 ends. Securing meta-defining skill synergies early avoids wasting resources on re-rolling kits during the initial S2 launch.

Resource Stockpiling Priorities

Certain account-bound currencies and items persist across the season reset. Save the following supplies to accelerate early expansion:

• Hero Upgrade Materials: Hoard level-up materials to power core heroes immediately within the first 48 hours of S2.
• Currency Reserves: Retain jade and seasonal tokens to pull on initial S2 hero banners.
• Logistical Supplies: Reserve stamina-refill items and speed-ups to maintain high march rates for initial territory capture.

Early-Season S2 Execution

Once S2 opens, focus on strategic landing points, regional faction buffs, and efficient tile claiming to minimize troop loss.

Regional Faction Positioning

S2 introduces updated map structures, regional bonuses, and geopolitical shifts. Coordinate landing locations with your alliance during the first week to take control of critical strategic gates and regional capitals. Pay close attention to regional terrain buffs, which directly affect squad types like cavalry or archery units. Aligning hero squad types with local terrain buffs gives your forces an automatic power boost during early PvP encounters.

Squad Deployment and Tile Expansion

During the first days of S2, prioritize node farming routes that build Merit while keeping troop attrition low.

1. Deploy Mobile Squads: Use mobile cavalry-focused squads to rapidly claim adjacent high-value resource tiles.
2. Buffer Core Squads: Secure initial territory to build a resource buffer, allowing secondary and tertiary squads to develop safely.
3. Avoid Early Skirmishes: Delay unnecessary open-field PvP until main squads reach power thresholds required to clear higher-level nodes.
4. Conserve Forces for Objectives: Save troop reserves and high-tier units for major seasonal objectives and border gate pushes.
