Commanders (F2P)

Commanders (F2P focus)

The hardest question for new players — with a simple answer.

AoE commanders (one per troop type)

Each troop type has one commander that hits in an area (multiple targets):

Troop AoE commander
Infantry Sun Tzu
Cavalry Baibars
Archers Kusunoki Masashige

Who to pair them with

Our favorite: Æthelflæd — the legendary from the campaign.

  • Skill order 5-1-1-1: she already hits forts and other commanders well.
  • Æthelflæd + Sun Tzu has long been (and until nerfed will stay) one of the strongest pairs — even into the Conquest season.

F2P rule for one KvK

Do not spray sculptures:

  1. One legendary commander
  2. One purple (epic) commander

That is how F2P should play one KvK: focus, not chasing every meta name.

Save legendary sculptures for

Troop Legendary
Archers Li Seong-Gye
Infantry Pyrrhus
Cavalry No clear strong legendary right now. New legendary Pilaos may become top — not certain yet.

Pick one line and feed it. Heads on every new name = empty marches in KvK.
