How to Use Basic Stats to Your Advantage
Even though these basic stats are pretty much simple and easy to understand. Majority of the players do not know how to take advantage of these basic stats to maximize their combat effectiveness, which is one of game mistakes they can make!
One trick you can do to further increase the damage done using rallying armies is to fill up with special units. For instance, if the primary commander who is leading the rallying army happens to be Saladin who specializes in cavalry. Then the cavalry should be the first to fill up capacity because they get huge bonuses thanks to Saladin’s cavalry skills.
In Rise of Kingdoms there are 4 different type of roles to play using your commanders:
- Damage Dealer (DPS): High attack, low defense and health. Great for dishing out damage to cripple your enemies while tanks take hold of the frontline.
- Tank: Great for commanders that have high health and defense, but low attack. They are good at absorbing attacks and providing temporary buffs to themselves as well as nearby allies.
- Support: Commanders that don’t excel at health, defense or attack might find themselves useful in providing support to nearby friendly commanders by buffing allies or debuffing enemies.
- Healer: Commanders that excel at healing allies using magic powers to replenish injured troops and bring them back to the battle.
