Application Suggestions
Eulji Mundeok
-
Best For: Early-game city development and lower-level castle defense.
-
Overview: Boasting the highest research speed buff in the game alongside accelerated gold production and construction, Eulji Mundeok is the premier choice for players prioritizing early-game progression. Additionally, he provides balanced buffs to all four unit types within the city, which greatly aids in defending smaller castles.
Hammurabi
-
Best For: Defense-focused players and Ranged/Siege-heavy setups.
-
Overview: Hammurabi is a specialized option for in-city defense. While his buffs for mounted and ground troops are relatively modest, he delivers massive stat boosts to in-city ranged units and siege machines. Since his overall buffs are heavily concentrated on Defense and HP, he is ideally suited for defense-oriented playstyles.
Sun Wu
-
Best For: Aggressive PvP players and Alliance rally/reinforcement support.
-
Overview: Sun Wu is practically tailor-made for PvP enthusiasts. He excels in offensive operations by providing strong attack buffs and debuffing enemy units, while also expanding march size and rally capacity. Furthermore, his kit includes reliable defensive boosts and unconditional buffs, making him highly effective when reinforcing allies.
