The Concheror, pronounced Template:W, is a 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 when the banner call is played.
The Concheror functions in a similar manner to the Buff Banner and the Battalion's Backup, as they provide a specified effect for surrounding teammates. This banner charges through a combination of either dealing or receiving damage. While this banner's buff is active, allies within 450 units are healed for 35% of the damage they deal.
Players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011, were awarded with a Genuine quality version of this item.

Bugs
- In some instances upon joining a server and playing as a Soldier with this weapon equipped, the Rage Meter in the bottom right hand corner of the HUD disappears for the duration of the first spawn to first death.
- In rare cases, rage can be built by shooting allies and causing self-damage.
- The Concheror, unlike the Buff Banner and the Battalion's Backup, is currently unusable in medieval mode.
Trivia
- The "horn" sound effect is unique for this banner; however, unlike those for the Buff Banner and Batallion's Backup, it is the same for both RED and BLU teams.
- The flag and the conch shell are styled after the Template:W and the Template:W 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 Template:W, a famous line of samurai warlords from the Sengoku, or Warring States era. It may also be seen as a derivative of the Team Fortress 2 emblem, using four squares instead of four quarter-circles. The symbol is also often used in video games to symbolize territorial game modes, which Team Fortress's main game mode, Control Point, could be considered.
- Template:W (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 "Template:W", the weapon's substitute for a bugle, and "conqueror".
