Thanks for watching another Rise of Kingdoms video! Don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!
If you are a free-to-play player in Rise of Kingdoms in 2024 then this is the guide for you historically choosing to build more Cavalry armies has been a pretty effective strategy for a lot of players and I would argue in the late game that that’s probably your best choice as
A free-to-play player so in today’s video we’re going to go over the best civilization City skins Commander investment order and Equipment upgrade order including the new iconic tiers but first what’s going on guys cheers now the first thing I want to cover in this video is is something
That I should have made a little bit more clear in my infantry guide for free-to-play players that I just posted the other day of course if you’re interested in being an infantry main as a free to play player go ahead and check out that video on my channel and consider subscribing
To the channel and liking this video so you don’t miss the next one but I want to answer the question what does it mean to be a main of a troop type in 2024 because in the past you know
When when the game was basically brand new being a main for a troop type meant that you only sort of built just that troop type for your armies and this was before the equipment system was in
The game this was before the Armament system was in the game this was before a lot of different systems and being a main of a troop type has sort of evolved over the years eventually it meant that
You were running like a 311 setup meaning you would run three of your main troop type one of each other troop type and these days in 2024 if you’re a free-to-play player what I would be
Focused on doing is running two of your main troop type as armies in the Open Fields and one of the other troop types so in this video we’re going to be covering two main Cavalry armies that are
Supported by an infantry March and an Archer March and what the best strategy is and how you should get to that point in the end game the reason that I wouldn’t recommend building three armies of the
Same troop type is because you’re going to get a lot of different blueprints for a lot of different troop types and so it doesn’t really make sense to not craft those things and the same thing is also True For Your armaments Right these are randomized and so you can’t always guarantee
That you’re going to get only armaments with only attributes for the troop type that you really care the most about and so those things combined with the fact that the other troop types also have some insanely powerful commanders that you really need to have uh you know in your lineup the 311 lineup
Just doesn’t really make sense for free to play and also the reason that we’re only running four marshes instead of five is because the probability if you’re a brand new player that you’re going to be missing some blueprints or you’re going to be maybe missing some armaments or things like
That you really want to run the best of the best that you’re account can manage and running around with a fifth suboptimal March that has a lot of blue equipment on it it’s just not really you’re going to get really awful trades with that and it’s going to make your hospital fill
Really fast which costs a lot of resources and so really you just want to focus all your efforts on a small handful of the most effective armies that you can build in the game the next question becomes should free-to-play players choose to be a Cavalry Main in Rise of Kingdoms and I would
Say that most likely in the late game Cavalry is the best choice for free-to-play players and the reason for this is because first of all they historically have had some of the most consistent and best open field PVP Commander choices in the game right and we’re going to talk about those
Later in the video but on top of that Cavalry have the highest March speed out of any troop type in Rise of Kingdoms which just by default will give you good Mobility so you might have a higher probability of running away from another player who might be an infantry man or an Archer
P moving quickly in the open field is going to be very important especially as a free to play player so you can get out of bad positioning that way your hospital doesn’t get unnecessarily filled too quickly also the commanders that Cavalry have at their disposal like some of the best
Choices for you are commanders that are found on the Wheel of Fortune whereas other troop types might have some commanders that are in the mightiest Governor that sort of flesh out their you know five army or four Army lineup and it’s just a lot easier for free to play players to
Get their hands on a wheel of fortune Commander even if they can’t spin the wheel a ton cuz gems are light at least they’ll be able to get those commanders guaranteed as soon as soon as they come
Around if they have just a small handful of gems available also some of the best in slot pieces of equipment for Cavalry are things like the ash of the Dawn and Novar control which you can get from
The equipment chests here in the tavern and you’re going to be opening these periodically for free I mean Crystal keys are rewarded from events and a ton of other things redeem codes and things like
That so it’s not like with archers where you would either run a six-piece set or 42 split between the Archer set and the leadership set so progression for your equipment is just going to be a little
Bit easier all right with all that out of the way let’s start with your best civilization choices and just like in my infantry video the number one thing that you should focus on as a free-to-play player is Germany for a majority of your play time the only time that you would switch away
From Germany would be when you’re going into kvk in the late game when you’re really going to be focusing your entire account on PVP your civilization choice is really a micro optimization if you go through all the different civilization choices you’re going to notice that the bonuses
That you get here really are are quite small when you compare it to everything else in the game right like getting your city hall to 25 maxing out your Tech maxing out your commanders your equipment your armaments like this stuff right here is one of the last things that you should
Really be worrying about and for a majority of the time that’s why you stay as Germany because they give you the 10% action point recovery bonus and this really isn’t you can’t get this from anywhere else right like getting troop attack you know you can get troop attack from a million other places
You can’t get 10% action point recovery and as a free-to-play player somebody who’s going to be chaining barbarians a ton and who might run low on action points and you know as a player who a
Lot of their value comes from action points right that’s how you’re going to get a lot of your gems and things like that from the Barb chaining the 10% action point recovery here is going to be you know the most beneficial thing that you can basically get from any civilization as a free
To play player now the other thing too is you get a 5% troop training speed which is nice this just means that in the same amount of time you’re going to be able to train slightly more troops which is
Great and also it just so happens to be the case that Germany is a Cavalry Civilization so they are going to get 5% Cav attack which is great and you get the tonic Knight which is a really powerful special unit for Cavalry so overall Germany is a really great choice for free-to-play Cavalry
Players and if you never ever switch away from Germany that’s not even the end of the world right I mean you have the Cav special unit and bonus like you could theoretically just stay as Germany permanently and you would be fine with that now the other thing that you have to consider
Though is Ottoman Empire and we talked about this also in the Infantry video and that’s just because yes you lose the special units and you lose the 5% attack which is not that big of a loss but you’re
Gaining 5% skill damage and 5% March speed which are basically the two most important stats for open field PVP especially as a free-to-play player a lot of your damage comes from skill damage when you’re running Cavalry commanders and so that’s going to be absolutely crucial and March speed you
Know you already are fast in the open field but having that extra 5% could just push you a little bit farther and might be the difference between running away from an enemy chasing you and not and so realistically Ottoman Empire is probably in the very late game your best open field PVP
Choice and also you’re going to be running only two Cavalry marches one Archer and one infantry March and so the Ottoman Empire bonuses this works for all the troop types basically the March speed and the skill damage is good for all four of your armies whereas if you’re running Germany then the
5% C attack and special unit is only good for two of your armies right your Cavalry armies when it comes to the best City skins for Cavalry players first of all you know when you’re choosing an epic
Skin obviously you just want to go for anything that gives you a Cavalry bonus and ideally removes some form of Archer or infantry attack mighty forest is definitely one of the best choices for Cavalry in the Epic tier and the Glorious Siam I don’t know if I pronounced that correctly is
Probably the best epic skin for Cavalry in my opinion sacred Sanctuary is also a really good choice when it comes to legendary skins at your disposal like I mentioned in the Infantry video you really shouldn’t be competing in any Zenith of power events unless you know for sure you can get
It and it also coincides with maybe a Mightiest governor that you really care about but really Zenith of power is way too expensive for 99.9% of free to-play players and really the extra stats is not something that is a game changer right really you should just leave those zenith of power skins
To the rally and Garrison leaders of your kingdom or continent realistically however the best choice for City skin for Cavalry players is going to be the Twilight Falls City Skin this is because it gives you 5% skill damage at the cost of 10% infantry attack and like I said earlier losing
Infantry attack as a Cavalry player is not a big deal at all this is basically almost no penalty realistically and the 5% skill damage is going to be really great for all of your armies not just your Cavalry but especially your Cavalry because they do deal a lot of skill damage so
If you can get your hands on Twilight Falls this is probably the best choice for you for open field PVP okay now let’s move on to talking about your commander upgrade order and first we’re going to
Start with the very early game before kvk 1 and up through kvk 1 What epic commanders or epic pairings should you be focusing on and Baibars is going to be a king for you he is the best
Epic Commander for Cavalry in the game the reason for this is because he has a five Target 1,000 damage Factor AOE and the targets lose 50% Marge speed for 2 seconds it’s a very powerful slowdown especially in the early game and especially this 10,000 damage factor is just insane on top of that
He gives you 20% attack this skill does basically nothing but the fourth skill gives you 50% March speed for 10 seconds and a small healing Factor when you exit combat so this isn’t that big of a deal really all you’re doing with by Bowers is just massive AOE damage and that’s it he
Doesn’t bring anything else to the table and the best commanders to pair him with are first of all Sun Tzu Sun Tzu obviously is an infantry Commander but as a secondary he’s just going to deal more AOE skill damage he also gives a skill damage bonus to both himself and buy bars which
Is really nice and your buy bars is going to take 10% less damage when your Sun Tzu is behind him so really great pairing there if you want a pure Cavalry epic March then you could put Belisarius behind your Baibars you don’t want Belisarius primary necessarily for PVP so the mobility
Tree is not great for PVP your damage output is going to really suffer when you compare it to the skill tree that being said sometimes you would run Belisarius primary and five bars secondary
If you are going into enemy territory as a stealth March and you want to just kill Farmers so you can basically just flip the order of these commanders depending on what you’re doing most of the time for PVP you’ll run Baibars primary Belisarius is a really nice compliment to him because he gives
You 30% Cavalry defense so that’s the a little bit of tankiness that by bars doesn’t normally have he also gains even more Marge speed when he’s exiting combat so you can see the Synergy there which is nice and you have a really powerful debuff on the active skill for Belisarius basically the target
Loses 60% of stats for 2 seconds which is wild and the fourth skill here is nuts you deal 25% more damage when your enemy has less than 50% units remaining huge damage bonus so if you can chase
Those yellow and red marches Bellis Arius is great now I know this video is mainly for free to play players but if you’re watching this and you’re a small low spender or a medium spender Minamoto
Is actually an insanely good pickup in the early game like right when you start the game if you can get a 5511 Minamoto that is an insane combo and the great news is that you actually can lock his
First two skills to guarantee that upgrade so it’s not even like it’s a gamble you can guaranteed get 5511 I think it’s about $30 that’s from buying the VIP bundles if you buy the correct one on and in case you’re wondering it’s 10 sculptures to summon him and then 190 sculptures to get
That 5511 configuration so buy your VIP bundles accordingly to save the most amount of money but I can’t stress this enough if you are a lower mid spender you probably should get Minamoto in the early game he transitions really well in a season of conquest at least for your first one and
Is also one of the reasons why Cavalry is not only good for free to- play players but is even better for Mid and low Spenders because of Minamoto which is great when it comes to Cao Cao you can
Replace your Belisarius or your sun tzu with Cao Cao as the secondary to your buy bars if you can get his first skill to five and his third skill to let’s say three or five ideally it would
Be five that’s just going to give you a ton of single Target damage powerful debuff nice March speed and attack bonus but that’s just going to come down to luck of the draw and whether or not
You can get those uh skill upgrades from your gold keys that you’re opening up or again if you’re a lower mid spender I think Cao Cao is the first thing that you can get from the daily special
Offer you could buy those bundles every day so that’s something to consider Cao Cao is great in the early game Minamoto ages is much better than Cao Cao to be honest with you but you will still
Get some use out of him regardless all right with the very beginner stuff and anecdotal stuff out of the way what’s the first legendary Commander that you’re going to actually be investing in as a Cavalry player and surprise surprise nothing has changed here it’s still going to be Richard
The First with his first skill to five and the rest of his skills to one okay just unlock these last skills that’s all you need the first skill is the main thing that you want to focus on it’s
10 sculptures to summon Richard from his Wheel of Fortune and then it’s I think 50 sculptures to get this first skill to five and that’s going to be really important for the longevity of your account you’re going to use Richard the first a ton for chaining Barbarians in home Kingdom
Lost Kingdom basically everywhere Richard is an insanely good PVE Commander he’s a great tank for tons of different events and especially in Sunset Canyon and lost canyon Golden Kingdom things like that like you’re really going to get a lot of value out of this super cheap investment
You might be able to use him as PVP in kvk 1 but he’s really not a great PVP Commander especially beyond that so just keep that in mind next we have to talk about Yi Seong now again I did
Just make a video recently talking about why I don’t love Yi Seong as an early game investment for free-to-play players anymore I think he’s extremely expensive and as soon as you hit kvk 3 in season a conquest he’s instantly outclassed by multiple different commanders even amongst the
Archer tier and you’re really going to wish that you had those 690 sculptures to invest in a couple of different places as well so if you’re watching this video and you’re asking yourself should you get Yi Seong first of all I would recommend at least unlocking him when his Wheel of Fortune
Comes around that’s 10 sculptures and the reason for this is because there is a museum system in the game and it is possible that they could add a third Relic tier for Yi Seong and if they do that
Who knows what else they could do here they could bump these stats up more they could give him a third stat who knows it might be worth just having him on your account just in case they do something
Insane with that but the only people that should be expertising Yi Seong are players that are very hardcore free to play players players who have three or four Farm accounts players who are going to be participating in a really effective jumper project who are really going to focus on
Winning kvk 1 like most players are not going to go through all that effort right like you’re going to have to be playing 2 3 4 hours a day just to keep your account up to speed and to get enough
Sculptures otherwise not worth it skip e and that is that and really your 5111 Richard in the early game is the only investment that you’re going to make unless you purchase Minamoto and this is kind
Of where I just want to pause and say that being a Cavalry main for free to-play players has sort of the slowest progression in terms of early game and mid game because you’re really you don’t have
Any good choices for commanders to invest in for your first like seven months of playing the game right like all the commander choices that you have are pretty much garbage okay but once you hit the
Late game your patience is rewarded by giving you some of the very best late game commanders at your disposal so that’s why I say that if you’re a lower medium spender it’s even better for you cuz you’re going to have Minamoto and that’s going to be really great plus when you get into
Season of Conquest The Relic for Minamoto in the museum is 60% of stats which is just absolutely wild lots of legendary commanders don’t even have that many stats and that’s not even taking into account that he already has stats on his on his skills right but for free-to-play players you’re
Going to have to just be patient okay so what does that mean what do you do in the early and mid game as a free to play player if you don’t have any great commanders to invest in first of all focus
On getting your city hall to 25 if you haven’t done that already you need your City Hall at 25 to unlock tier five units eventually and you also can’t even go into the lost kingdom unless you
Have City Hall 25 so absolutely crucial and you also want to be focusing on your VIP level okay a lot of players ignore their VIP level they just want to get to tier five units as fast as possible
But I’m telling you guys you know you want to be farming a lot of gems get your VIP 10 okay that’s when you’re going to get one legendary Commander sculpture every single day and that is going to
Absolutely change the progression of your account that is so important VIP 12 gives you two and VIP 14 I believe is what gives you three exactly so Focus on those three things maxing your buildings
Maxing your Tech and getting your VIP at least to 10 if not 12 or higher now if you are extremely impatient in the mid game and you absolutely must invest in something to keep your interest in the
Game if you’re just so bored there’s nothing to do you want at least one Commander to invest in the only choice is salad and every other commander in the early game like I said is garbage Saladin
You get him in kvk 2 and he is decent 55 51 you do not need to expertise Saladin which is actually really great and this is another reason why for low to mid Spenders who maybe have more sculptures than the free to play players they might be able to make that solid investment
Without feeling horrible about it again 95% of players should be skipping Saladin entirely he does not age as well as he used to although he is still really good in season of Conquest the problem is his single Target damage factor is just so low and also the March speed debuff here
Is just greatly outclassed by March speed debuffs from other commanders like Liu Che and like huo and that’s the thing about Universal sculptures is that you can use that one sculpture on Saladin or you could use that one sculpture on huo and huo has a 2,700 damage Factor single Target which is
Basically double that Saladin and his March speed debuff is 50% for 3 seconds whereas Saladin’s is 30% for 5 seconds so a little bit longer but a little bit worse the defense and attack is
Nice here and also he takes 30% less skill damage and 20% less Counterattack damage so he is one of the more tanky Cavalry units in the game and at 5551 he’s pretty cheap plus he also has his Relic
Here which gives him even more attack and some nice March speed this could get double relied in the future so this could bump up to 15 or 20 for both of these so keep that in mind but I
Think the days of investing in Saladin as a 5551 commander are pretty much over but again if you just want something to build that you could use in season of Conquest you could go for Saladin
If you must if you did get that Minamoto then at least you have the Minamoto Saladin combo that you could pair together and that’s going to be a pretty tanky pair that can pop off a ton of single
Target damage so like I said unfortunately free to play not going to have that option okay now let’s move over to the tier maker so that way we can go over what the order should be when you finally hit
Season 3 of kvk and you start to invest in some actual good commanders what should that order look like well the first thing that you want to realize is that the first Wheel of Fortune that you will get your hands on most likely is the Cavalry Choice wheel which means you’re going
To be able to choose which Commander you want to work on and in that first wheel you’re going to be able to unlock a lot of really good commanders first of all Nevsky is a great choice but you
Can also unlock Jon of Arc you can unlock huo you can unlock William and I wouldn’t recommend some of the other choices but for that first wheel you have some of the best commanders at your disposal
To at least unlock and of these four I would say the best first thing to invest in is a nevi okay nevi is such a powerful Commander he has a really nice even spread of stats he also gives a
Bonus to skill damage and he has a decent single Target damage Factor on top of the fact that he has a really powerful defense reduction so even at something like 5551 you’re going to have a really
Powerful Commander with Nevsky as soon as you get that first Wheel of Fortune coming around and here is where you know if you invested in that Minamoto you slap Minamoto behind him and you have a super powerful single Target damage machine especially with the Relic on Minamoto that’s really really
Amazing if you don’t have the Minamoto then you have a couple different options first of all if if you went for the ysg you could try it it is very squishy just keep that in mind it this is you know
Some people have done this it’s okay I prefer the Scipio prime ysg like we did in the Infantry video I think that’s a much better pair cuz they both have AOE here they don’t so you lose a little bit
Of the skill damage value on the fourth skill of ysg but you could run this in a pinch similarly you could run the Mehmed behind him Mehmed’s Relic is also insane he also gives you some attack and
Health as universal he’s also an AOE Commander if you have him at 5511 or better then that’s a good sort of emergency shoe in if you really need need a PVP Army and of course if you got the
Saladin then you could run the Saladin with him as well however I think the best first pairing you should build is obviously Nevsky Joan I think this pairing has been around since basically the moment
Joan entered the game this has been the tried and true Cavalry pair and it shows no real signs of slowing down this is an insanely powerful Army the fourth skill on Joan makes her active skill pop
Twice every other skill cycle and it is one of the most powerful AOEs in the game it’s 2,000 damage factor three Target with some rage engine and some awesome stuff so really what I would recommend as
A minimum viable build would be a 5551 Nevsky with a 5115 Joan of Arc Prime and this is where if you picked up any skill reset items along the way in the early game you can get some of them for free
As a free-to-play player they’re very rare you only get maybe one or two a year as a free-to-play player so please keep that in mind anytime you can get your hands on them you should get your
Hands on them and if you do get them use them on Joan Prime if you can’t get the 5115 then you can settle for the 5×15 so basically the second skill whatever that lands at is good third skill doesn’t
Matter that much so you know 5515 if you have to that would be like the most that I would go for Joan unless you’re extremely unlucky or something like that you really want a fourth skill to five
Is what I’m trying to say eventually however you will expertise your nevi okay so I would say get nevi to 5511 or 5551 then do the Joan 5115 or 5515 however you can get it then go back back
And finish the Nevsky and from there you’re going to move on to your second pair and who would your second pair be and this is where we’re going to Branch out the next Army that we’re going to
Build is a Scipio Prime with Liu Che secondary the reason for this is they are both AOE commanders they both have infantry Mart speed they both have a ton of damage output on their kits and also the
30% Health reduction on Scipio is insane the Slowdown effect on the AOE from Liu Che is insane and also because he deals smite damage any commander that you’re hitting the open field that reduces the skill damage they take has no effect for Liu Che so he’s going to still be hitting them
At full power which is really nice I think this pairing is probably it might be the most powerful open field combo in the game right now I would say get a 5551 Scipio Prime and a 5515 Liu Che or however his skills land his last two they’re pretty interchangeable in terms of Effectiveness
And then eventually you will want to expertise both of these commanders I do think that is worth it I think as a single Infantry repair if you have both these expertise you’re going to be able to
Run this pairing for a very long time probably years at this point it’s just so insanely good that you’re not you’re not going to regret this I I can’t imagine you will once these two commanders
Are expertised then you’re going to go and work on you guessed it an Archer March and that’s going to be J Leong primary with Herman Prime secondary J Leong at 5511 is the minimum Herman Prime at
5551 is the minimum eventually you will expertise the Jay Leong and the Herman Prime is up to you he’s a little bit tankier at expertise he’s just a little bit better at expertise to be honest with
You but you know if you’re finding that he’s useful at 5551 you don’t need to expertise him then fine leave him there otherwise an expertise here probably you won’t hate it you probably won’t regret it but at 5551 that is good value this is definitely the best Archer March in the game right
Now and it is a contender for one of the best open field marches in the entire game period the reason that we’re going for one of each troop type in a Cavalry video is because like I said earlier in
The video you’re going to be collecting blueprints for a bunch of different troop types you’re going to be collecting armaments for all the different troop types and some of these other commanders that aren’t Cavalry are just so insanely good that you just need them also the Herman Prime spreading
His poison is going to make the skill damage from all your other commanders hit even harder so like the support here is insane the support on the health debuff here is insane so you have to
Think about how these all work as a unit you’re just going to perform much better if you have one of each troop type next you can move on to your fourth and arguably final pair it’s no brainer
That huo is going to be the primary Commander here and at the time of recording this video the best commander to pair him with is William William is a bit of an older Commander at this point and I do suspect over the next perhaps 6 months we will almost definitely get a new
Release cycle for Cavalry meaning we’re going to get a new Mightiest Governor commander and a new Wheel of Fortune Commander for Cavalry and one of those commanders if not both might be more powerful than William in this investment guide and so if you’re watching this video in June or July
Of 2024 or later then keep that in mind look at who the newest commanders are for cavalry and more than likely one of them will be paired with your huo instead of the William with that being said
Though and because that’s only speculation what we know at the time of recording this video is that Huo William pops off this is a great combination I run this okay you can run the 5551 huo or 5515
Depending on how you want to do it and then the William only needs to be 5551 as well so you could Technic Ally build a pretty value budget build here and put you know all your best Cavalry gear
On your one March and your second rate gear on the secondary March eventually you probably want the huo expertise that’s just my opinion I think huo like all of his skills are really solid he’s
Great in the open field he pumps out a ton of single Target damage I mean 2700 is just wild especially because his rage cost is lowered right so it’s it’s it’s insane and William is another one of those supportive marches where he’s going to give your other armies and allies a bonus to
Defense and some rage over time rage per second so realistically this is a great second Cavalry pairing and if you get this right now if you have this at the time of recording this and posting this video You’re basically done this if you’re a Cavalry main you’ve got all the best armies
That you could possibly get the question is if you move on to Five Armies then yes you’ll be thinking about something like Xiang Yu but again I don’t think you should be focusing on building
A fifth March I think you should use this Fifth Army slot to grab a rune to join a rally to join a Garrison there’s a ton of different things you can do and make use out of that last Army slot
You don’t necessarily need to be Fielding with five armies all the time that’s very expensive to do so especially with tier five units you’re probably not going to be able to sustain that as a free-to-play player so if anything you know as new commanders come into the game later down the
Line perhaps some of these other commanders can move into that fifth slot and then you could maybe build another Army later if you really really want to but for right now I would stick to just
This and you’re going to be golden okay with the commanders out of the way let’s talk about your equipment and the order with which you should upgrade that equipment of course what you see on the screen here is your entry level Cavalry build okay you see eventually you’ll get a full
Special talent on everything but you’re running the two-piece halberd set this gives you a ton of Cavalry stats for green pieces which is insane you have the Cavalry helmet and three Windswept pieces here you’re going to get a little bit of Cal stats and also some March speed out of that
Which is really nice moving on you’re going to upgrade those wind swept pieces to the purple pieces this is going to give you a ton of both defense attack and some health and then from there you’re actually going to replace the hir set with the purple pieces so here you have the
Gladiator legs which give you more Health as well with the special talent which is nice and the Heart of the saint which gives you a ton of Cavalry defense this is a really good weapon the
Weapons in this game are very expensive as pieces to craft so the fact that Cavalry has a really powerful weapon that you don’t necessarily need to switch over to Legendary as soon as possible is really great this is a great midgame build from there you are going to replace your your first
Two pieces to Legendary are going to be the chest piece and the boots these two pieces both give you Cavalry Health which is really really impressive and you’re going to get the two-piece set bonus
When you go ahead and do that so when it comes to bang for your buck these two pieces are the best to replace you’re going to notice here that we’re still running the blue helmet that’s how good that
Blue helmet is and eventually you will replace it okay you replace the helmet and the weapon I would say helmet first then weapon later this is going to give you some cab defense and the weapon gives you some Cavalry attack now you’ve got a piece set bonus here for Cavalry which is nice
As you’re going to see you have four pieces here that give you Cavalry Health which is insane so a ton of really tanky stats here we have like I said earlier in the video Navar’s control gloves
And the ash of the dawn for the legs these both can be obtained in the crystal keys so you don’t even need to or you really would never run a six- piece set bonus for Cavalry anyway and the reason
That you would upgrade these to last although you know if you have the blueprints and you can upgrade them then go for it but the reason you go for it last is because this only has half a
Point more of stats than the Gladiator talented legs that we replaced it from right and Navar’s control replaces you know this has attack and health this has all Health but it’s basically the same number of stats pretty much so those are the least impactful upgrades now when it
Comes to your iconic upgrades for these pieces of course putting the iconic crystal in the legs and in the boots is going to give you the base Health bonus which is going to be the most impactful from
From a basically a tier one perspective but beyond that I think you want to go for your weapon first Okay the reason for this is because it gives you upwards of 2% damage to troops on the map whereas
If you look at other pieces like the helmet or the chest those only give you 1% extra damage and really the bottleneck here is most likely going to be the blueprints so in order to get 2% damage on
The map from upgrading both these pieces you would need one two and three additional blueprints for both of these so that is six legendary blueprints whereas for this you only need 1 2 three so it’s half the amount of blue blueprints of course the upgrade materials and stuff are going to
Be a little bit higher cuz it is the weapon compared to the helmet and the chest but like I said blueprints will most likely be the bottom neck here so you get the most bang for your buck
On the upgrades to the weapon in my opinion plus also ignoring enemy defense and having more units is really impactful after the weapon I really like upgrading the boots here I know that you get Cavalry attack which is not that impactful but I think the 5% Marge speed for a free-to-play player
Is going to be really really nice beyond that the legs actually give you for Cavalry 1% damage on the m which is nice plus more Cavalry Health which is great after that I would say the chest and the
Helmet probably deserve the most attention and then at the very back of the pack is probably the gloves now one thing that I want to point out here with the Awakening and with the iconic tears is that like I said before the bottleneck is probably going to be the blueprints and so
More than likely you know if you can do a specific upgrade for your Cavalry then you probably should just do it like if you’re going into kvk if you can make that upgrade is it worth upgrading or
Holding off until you get the correct next upgrade it’s really hard to say most likely you’ll want to just do the upgrade right especially if it’s a piece that you got lucky and you got the special
Talent like that’s going to be a really big factor and with that being said that’s pretty much going to do it guys if you made it to the end of this video drop a thumbs up on it it really helps out

RISE OF CAVALRY 🎉
why are all the guides and lists for commanders for F2P? im sure most of the players are low spenders and they work for them too right?
I've noticed as a cav main the special troop you get from a cav civ makes a huge difference as compared to running for example ottoman. Only time I would run ottoman is if I was running 2 or more archer marches. Most cav players should run Germany.
Why didn’t you mention France as a civ? I’d say it is for every troop main. When you are running t5 marches, the impact of France is MASSIVE during kvk (healing speed & health buffs). You can use gear & armaments for things like skill dmg & march speed.
You can enter Lost Kingdom without CH25, the minimum level is 16
cao cao just came in wheel of fortune whole you buy that i am sitting at 1.3m power and heading into kvk 1 in a week ps. i am free to play meaning i whole only be able to unluck cao cao but not skill him up
227 days in and Cav main from the start just finished kvk2
Why u didnt talk about soc weapons? Developers are adding more ways to get coins. And yeah, they are still hard to get, but arguably, as a f2p, its faster and easier to go for at least 1 soc equipment cause gems are also hard to get so doing gem events for say chest and boots while going for soc weapon would get you to a desired set faster
Hey, it's off topic but what do you think about close up dot mode option? Like actual dot mode but when close up, in addition to simplified graphics. If you like this idea make a suggestion through video please 😉
Can you work on both cav commanders on the same SOC wheel? Or will you need to wait for another SOC cav wheel to come?
Infantry gang. Running 2 inf 1 cav. Didnt invest in Huo…Waiting for that Belisarius smite cav to pair with my Atilla. Staying away from archers
I am a cav specialist and in the last KVK, I mono-troop typed cavs as an ultra low spender. There's a number of benefits to mono-troop typing cavs as a low spender;
1. Crystal tech, going all in on Cav attack tech and skipping all others allows for 20.5% delta of Cav attack vs. other troop types, when going "all in" on cav tech and skipping the others
2. 11 points of base health/defence from Germany (similar to 11% of stats)
3. 5% cav attack from Germany
4. Using Battles Bloom, +15% cav health vs. a delta of -5% att/def on other types. So a 20% to 15% stat delta above an Epic
Overall, that's 51.5% of stats you gain by mono-troop typing. Netted vs. Ottoman + Twilight falls, you're running a net of ~40% relative stat gain, and all your marches are reasonably fast. (I'm approximating 1% of stats = 1% of skill dmg = .5% of all dmg)
What you sacrifice:
1. Access to the best meta comms of each troop type (biggest impact)
2. Access to armaments (i.e., a triple roll archer is useless to a cav specialist). This is partially mitigated by trans stones now.
3. Reliance on leadership AoE secondaries (Honda, Mehmed) OR type-swapped AoE Archers in Unbound or SoS as secondaries
Mono Troop typing cavs works better than you expect. It's not doable with INF. Doable with archers, as they have insane commander depth, but questionable to do so because of march speed as well as targeting priorities most people follow
Just switched to Calvs myself. Thanks for some advice. Favorite ROK adviser.
Keep em coming😊😊😊
Can you please do an video about the attributes like ring and horn etc I feel like there is new meta
Hi Omni i have a question.. how come you want us to work on the cav march first and then work on inf and archer and finally the second cav march rather than working on maxing one cav march first, and then maxing a second march in order to maximize use out of research/equipment.
you definitely want to make the kvk gear for cavs
Minamoto might seem expensive when looking at those vip chests, but add up the cost of expertising any other commander and you'll find he's actually the cheapest one in the game
omni, just a suggestion, u should give info about talent build too. thank u
What's your take on rok dying
Hey omni. I May spend some money on minamoto not for expertise. But having him 5511 is it enough? Will it be useful for SOC?. In other words is 5511 is it a good investment or you need expertise for sure?
thank you for your content. I recently started playing again and I will follow all your tips. But what should I do during kvk 2 without having any legendary commander? except Richard. And how should I use Aethelflaed?
I don't understand why everyone insists on running Huo/William when their march speed debuff doesn't stack..Why not run Huo/Joan and Nevsky/William? You can potentially hit more enemies with the debuff
I'd personally stay away from old cavs specially those with relics. William seems okay for now but it would be better to save GHs for newer cavs.
Great video, great analysis as always. I could not agree more with the strategy of prioritizing your VIP level. I did not do this (I made MANY mistakes), but I sure wish I did! Getting those 1, 2, or preferably, 3 golden heads every single day is an incredible advantage.
FINALLY A PERFECT VIDEO. Finally some one approve Germany civ as best for F2P and cavs are best for F2P. 👍👍👍.
5+ Years in this game as F2P. First 2 years as Infantry may be got to 1B KP. Then maxed Attila/Takeda as my first cavs. 3 years later still as F2P. 9B KP.
😝😝
Commander for barbarian chain please???
I mean…getting blueprints of other troop types, is not so easy to get……legendary ones are from egg event, you kinda have to pick those if you really want them. I'm going to go for 5 cav marches. I want to be quick on the field. Not to get picked on.
Can you give more options for someone running 3 cav March.
Hi , i came back to the game after a year and on my account i have ch 18 , should i do a new account or keep play with this one? ( I almost never used speed ups, gems and resources packs )
Yo brooo am a new fun of yours…I have just watched a video of yours…and fr am a mobile player…which is the least best specs that u recommend for a smooth PC ROK…?
Can you please make a new guide for begineers for 2024😅
what about pelagius?
So as a low-spender cav main I should go for scipio/liu on second march, instead of focusing on huo/william?
playing with 3 cav marches nevsky+ william xy cao huo mehmet or cao i have 450 gold heads for saving fornew commanders i dint invest any archer infantry yet btw im 50 mill
