The Soldier emphasizing the Concheror's healing benefits

The Concheror (/kɒŋk'ɛrɔr/ konk-err-or) is a community-created promotional secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a light brown wooden box with dark brown corners and a quad diamond shaped insignia, accompanied by a conch shell. A white, slightly tattered, vertical banner flag with the same diamond insignia secured onto a pair of bamboo sticks appears, attached to the side of the box, when the banner call is played. The weapon itself has an team-colored tint: orangeish-brown for RED, and light blue-tinted brown on BLU.

Like the Soldier's other Banner weapons, the Concheror gains "Rage" through dealing damage, and provides a specified effect for surrounding teammates once activated. Compared to the Buff Banner and Battalion's Backup, it takes 480 damage to fill up the Concheror's Rage meter, compared to 600 for the other banners. Holding down the primary fire button will delay the effect until the button is released. While this banner's buff is active, allies within 450 units are speed boosted, and are healed for 35% of the damage they deal. The speed boost given is identical to the speed bonus given from the Disciplinary Action, although, the speed bonus cannot be stacked if the effects from both the Concheror and Disciplinary Action are activated. Additionally, the Concheror also adds a passive, self-healing effect, regenerating lost health at 4 points per second; however, much like the Medic's self-healing, this varies based on how recently the player was damaged.

In Mann vs. Machine, the Concheror passive self-healing will always regenerate 4 health points per second, regardless if the player was recently injured or not.

The Concheror was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011.

Bugs

  • The health regen rate will reset to non-damaging effects such as the Rocket Jumper.
  • The strange variant of the item can rank up during battles against bots and when sv_cheats is set to 1.
  • If the rage meter is full and the user switches to another banner, and then touches a Resupply locker, the rage will be carried over.
  • If the rage meter is full and the user delays the release of the banner after the bugle call (by holding down the primary fire key) before the Humiliation happens on the losing team, the player will be still able to activate it's effect.

Trivia

  • The "horn" sound effect is unique for this banner; however, unlike those for the Buff Banner and Battalion's Backup, it is the same for both RED and BLU teams.
  • The flag and the conch shell are styled after the Nobori and the Horagai respectively. The symbol on the flag serves to distinguish which army the troop belongs to while the conch shell is generally used as a signaling trumpet.
  • The flag's symbol is that of the Takeda clan, a famous line of samurai warlords from the Sengoku, or Warring States era.
  • Sashimono (指物) were small banners fitted to the backs of Japanese soldiers from mid-15th to early 17th century, for identification in battle.
  • The name is a play on the words "conch", the weapon's substitute for a bugle, and "conqueror".
