If you are looking for a solid legendary commander that is flexible and packs with strong combat capabilities. Then you have come to the right spot because we will talk about why Mehmed II is the best pick for obliterating your enemies into dust. See his skills below to learn more:

The Ottoman Cannons is a very powerful active skill. Basically, it deals upwards to 1150 damage per targets. If you are battling against enemy garrisons, then the total damage of this active skill becomes 1850 which basically makes Mehmed II a strong nuker in this case. Ideal for dishing out high damage against multiple targets and towards enemy cities.
| Lord of Land and Sea | |
|---|---|
| Increases troop attack and increases skill damage dealt. Upgrade Preview: | |
This passive skill is awesome because it gives Mehmed II the flexibility to work more than 3-types of armies. It also lets him work with a pure troop build such as infantry, cavalry or archer of your own choice. Plus, the 20% damage bonus to active skill is definitely a nice perk on the top of it.
| Faith | |
|---|---|
| When attacking cities, normal attacks have a 10% chance to deal additional damage to the garrison. Upgrade Preview: | |
Faith is a solid passive skill that gives a small chance to deal extra damage to the garrison. With this passive skill, he will be able to eliminate enemy forces with relative minimal resistance.
| Sage King | |
|---|---|
| Increases troop capacity. When this commander launches a rally, increases rallied army capacity. Upgrade Preview: | |
Expanded troop capacity goes a long way. The 10% troop capacity means Mehmed II can do more damage with more troops. Bonus point, if you are launching a rally army, Mehmed II can command 10% more troops. Meaning, your alliance members can pour more troops to do even more devastating damage.
| Orban Bombard | |
|---|---|
| Deals damage (Damage Factor 1350) to enemies in a forward-facing fan-shaped area (maximum 5 targets). This skill deals additional damage to city garrisons and watchtowers (Damage Factor 800), and has a 50% chance to deal a second burst of additional damage to city garrisons and watchtowers (Damage Factor 500). | |
Out of all commanders in Rise of Kingdoms, Mehmed II has one of the best enhanced skill that dramatically increases his overall active skill damage. The direct damage factor goes up massively and there’s a 50% chance to deal additional damage towards garrisons and watchtowers. Suddenly, Mehmed II transforms into a powerful conqueror with this enhanced skill.
Best Mehmed II Talent Trees
Now that you have seen the best Mehmed II skills and how awesome they are. We will share our best talent builds for this legendary commander. While we typically recommend three talent builds, Mehmed II is very different due to his flexibility and troops-wide bonuses (which means he isn’t restricted to just one army type and doesn’t have any skills that requires 3-types army). We have 4 recommended talent builds for you to roll with Mehmed II.
Conqueror Talent Build
By default, this is the best talent build for playing Mehmed II as the primary commander and conqueror. This talent build emphasizes on building rage fast enough so that he can dish out heavy blows against enemy garrisons and watchtower. In addition to that, a small part of the talent points is invested in growing the troops capacity size as well as damage bonus.
Pure PvP Talent Build
If you prefer to have flexibility for Mehmed II to work with any secondary commanders and roll with pure army-type, this is the talent build, Basically, you don’t invest your talent points into talents that gives this commander defense and attack bonuses when having 3 or more army-type.
The Pure PvP talent build is great when you want to retain majority of the power in addition to expanding Mehmed II’s active skill damage and rage generation speed. Good for PvP battles.
3-Types PvP Talent Build
An alternative choice to Pure PvP talent build is 3-types talent build. This talent build invests the talent points into attack and defense bonuses which is granted when having more than 3 types of troops. Unless you want to build a mixed army, this talent build also works great when pairing with a secondary commander who will benefit the most.
Field Talent Build
For those players who wants to take advantage of Mehmed II’s insane direct damage factor further, this is the perfect talent build. While it doesn’t do that much in improving the troops’ combat capabilities under his leadership, most of the points goes into improving his active skill damage.
Plus, the speed of rage generation is improved as well. Which means this talent build will help you provide crowd control thanks to Mehmed II’s already powerful AoE splash active skill and clamp down on vulnerable enemy forces.
Best Recommended Roles (Primary / Secondary)
Depending on the type of talent build that you pick for Mehmed, by default Mehemd is natural in both primary AND secondary. However, if you do pick 3-type army talent build, then mixed armies is the best pick for that build.
Mixed Armies
- Balanced DPS (Primary / Secondary)
- Tank (Primary / Secondary)
- Budget Siege (Primary / Secondary)
Pure Infantry
- Balanced DPS (Primary / Secondary)
- Tank (Primary / Secondary)
- Budget Siege (Primary / Secondary)

Best Secondary Commander Pairs
As much as I want to reiterate that Mehmed II is an amazing legendary commander that’s worth leveling up. His flexibility only means a lot of commanders pair well with him. But in this part, we only focus on the best secondary commander to pair with so to maximize advantages and reap in awesome combat capabilities. That being said, let’s reveal the best commander pairs for Mehmed II.
Yi Seong-Gye
If you are looking to build nuker pair, Mehmed II and Yi Seong-Gye goes together really nicely. Just as I mentioned previously that Mehmed II is flexible and can easily work with a pure archer build which will benefit from Yi Seong-Gye’s passive skills that contributes attack and defense bonuses to archers.
Yi Seong-Gye active skill deals AoE Splash damage and have a very high damage. Together this pair sets up for an absolutely sweeping blows that will wreck havoc on the map.
In case you don’t have Yi Seong-Gye, pair Baibars with Mehmed II.
Attila
This might come across to some players as a surprise, but Attila is good secondary commander to pair with Mehmed II. He comes with active skill which increases the damage of normal attack and counterattack by a flat 30% for 4 seconds. Furthermore, he reduces enemy troops attack by 50% which is actually very impressive.
If you are rolling pure cavalry build, Mehmed II will have no problem working with Attila. Thanks to Mehemd II’s passive skills, he is flexible and will gain benefits from Attila’s exorbitant perks toward cavalry. Which transforms this pair into a powerful horsemen force.
Alternatively, you can go with Takeda Shingen if you prefer a strong debuffer instead of gaining massive attack bonus with Attila.
Alexander The Great
Alexander the Great makes a great tanky pair with Mehmed II. If you like the idea of being able to command large infantry force with expanded troop capacity and the ability to provide support to your alliance members without having to sacrificing attack and defense bonuses. Then you will love this combo.
Basically, Alexander the Great specializes in infantry and gives bonuses when running pure infantry build. He is also capable of putting up shield which reduces damage and increases up to 3 enemy targets’ damage taken when the shield is up. This goes nicely with Mehmed II since he dishes out splash damages that adds up the numbers quickly.
An alternative option to Alexander the Great is Eujli Mundeok.
