Overview
Best Ishida Mitsunari Skills
Ishida Mitsunari comes with a number of skills, although due to his nature of being a gathering commander, it is not surprising to see him primarily for harvesting resources and not in PvP battles. However, if you are serious about building a solid Ishida Mitsunari commander, then stick around with us in the next part about talent builds. Because in this part, we will talk about his skills in details:
| Battle of Sekigahara | |

This active skill is great since it increases the attack of troops under his leadership by 30%. In addition to that, he generates 30% more range for 3 seconds which is quite a lot. When combined with rage generation talent builds, it is possible to maintain a high uptime with this active skill which will virtually provide a permanent 30% attack bonus.

Likewise, this passive skill is a godsend when you roll pure siege army under his leadership. The expanded resources load means less troops and more resources in a single trip.

| Ishida Mitsunari’s troops’ normal attacks have a 10% chance to heal a portion of slightly wounded units (Healing Factor 500), this effect can only trigger once every 3 seconds. | |
Personally, I like this enhanced skill a lot because it gives his troops a chance to heal a portion of injured units. If you specialize in talent builds that increases the healing effects, it does make a difference.

Which makes him great at crowd controlling the targets and to deal serious amount of damage. Field talent build is good for providing support to your friendly commanders as well as alliance members.

Best Primary Commander Pairs
Since Ishida Mitsunari fills in the role as gathering commander and as a secondary commander due to his passive skills. He only makes the best choice for secondary commander. In this part, we have assembled top 3 best primary commanders to pair with Ishida Mitsunari who will be able to take advantage of his active damage bonus and the 30% attack bonus.
Baibars
Baibars is a very strong offensive commander and will greatly benefit from the 15% active damage bonus. In addition to that, he wields powerful crowd control skills that will basically clamp down the fleeing enemy targets.
Not just only that he is able to execute them with swift strikes, he also can heal a portion of troops which plays an important role in keeping them alive, in the other words, not to consume too much of your resources.
If you don’t have Baibars, you can do Belisarius with Ishida Mitsunari as he gains 30% damage bonus against armies who are below 50% army strength. Pelagius is also good choice.
Kusunoki Masashige
If you are looking for a commander to increase its overall active damage, it is Kusunoki Masashige. At first impression, it doesn’t sound like a great pair. Although, if you max out his skills which deals high sustained damage factor upwards to 1,400 damage (up to 3 targets) over 3 seconds.
The bonus will be a nice stack on top of his active skill. Not to forget to mention that his troops also have a chance to deal direct damage factor which will benefit from Ishida Mitsunari’s 30% attack bonus. An exceptional combo.
Aethelflaed
There are quite a few commanders who will benefit from the 15% active damage bonus. One of them is Aethelflaed who can use that bonus to increase her active skill damage to get rid of barbarians quickly. In addition to that, she comes with improved commander experience who makes the whole leveling phase simple and easy.
Because Ishida Mitsunari is flexible, he will have no problem working with Aethelflaed who will be able to benefit the 20% damage bonus for having 3 or more army type under her leadership. Which adds nicely to the 30% attack bonus granted by the secondary commander.
However, if you don’t have Aethelflaed and needs a good barbarian hunter alternative, Lohar and Boudica are solid choices.
Sun Tzu
One of the main advantage for pairing the legendary commander with Sun Tzu is that he is already a solid commander. The 30% rage generation speed bonus will allow Sun Tzu to build it up quickly, allowing him to rain fireballs against the targets more often.
Not just only that, Sun Tzu is a great commander to protect Ishida while he is gathering resources. Many players play Sun Tzu because he is an exceptional starting commander with strong field and combat control. Good commander to pair without large start-up investment.
Yi Seong-Gye
Another exceptional commander to pair with is Yi-Seong Gye. He is just like Sun Tzu but specializes in archer and will capitalizes on the 30% rage generation speed bonus. Which means he can build his rage fast enough to cast arrows against the targets.
Likewise, if you need a solid commander who can command control of the battle while Ishida is gathering resources for you. Yi Seong-Gye is one of the most feared legendary commander to face on the map due to his powerful and damaging active skill.
