Top 10 Best Archer Rise of Kingdoms Commanders
Previously we have discussed about Commanders who specialize in leading Cavalry and Infantry troops. Well, on this occasion we continue with one more type of troop, namely a good commander for Archers in RoK.
Archers are a troop of archers who are often underestimated and the least used. In fact, Archers are very good at fighting back attacks from Infantry troops. Yes, Archer is good against Infa.
Even though it is said to be able to defeat the Infantry, in fact Archer is quite weak when dealing with Cavalry troops. Especially now that many players use Cavalry, apart from high mobility, they can also “Hit and Run” aka attack and run away.
But many of the best Archer commanders in Rise of Kingdoms are highly skilled, some of them are good for 1v1 duels or can be paired up in Sunset Canyon and Lost Canyon.
1. Yi Seong-Gye
2. Artemisia I
3. Edward of Woodstock
4. Tomyris
5. El Cid
6. Ramesses II
7. Hermann
8. Kusunoki Masashige
9. Cyrus The Great (NEW)
10. Nebuchadnezzar II (NEW)
YSG / Yi Seong-Gye: Yi-Seong Gye used to hold the title for best Archer commander but not until new legendary Archer commanders like Edward of Woodstock and Tomyris were introduced in Rise of Kingdoms.
Well, now, it might be a bit difficult to think of him as the best archer commander in Rise of Kingdoms but undeniably he is one of the best Archer commanders. Why?
This was obviously due to his strong AOE nuking ability. Yes, he is able to issue high burst damage up to a maximum of 5 enemy targets. Anyone who tried to surround him and attack him would definitely take massive damage.
In fact, even if there were enemy troops standing still in the vicinity, it would be affected by his AOE skill. It’s a bad idea to stand near Yi-Seong Gye’s fortified buildings because you’re bound to take AOE damage.
Plus, he has excellent damage buff skills and troop healing which makes him stronger as a nuker. He may not be the best Archer commander overall but he is definitely the best at AOE nuking.
Edward of Woodstock: Edward is probably the strongest nuker in Rise of Kingdoms. He’s also probably, if I’m not mistaken, the only commander in the game capable of dealing more than 2000 basic Damage Factor to a single target from his active skills.
This was probably the reason why he needed an extremely high rage requirement to unleash his active skills. Apart from being an excellent nuker against single targets, he is also an excellent Archer commander in Rise of Kingdoms, due to his buffs and archer skills.
His Archer buff allows him to increase skill damage by 25%, and increase Archer Troop Health and marching speed (March Speed); thus, significantly increasing the damage only of his archer troops and the damage continuity of each.
The combination of his skills clearly makes Edward of Woodstock a very strong nuking commander against one target. This tends to make him a contender for the title of best Archer commander in the RoK.
For those of you who are interested, how to get Edward of Woodstock’s commander in Rise of Kingdoms, then you have to wait for your kingdom or Kingdom server more than 150 days since it was opened.
Meanwhile, the two new commanders, namely Nebuchadnezzar II and Cyrus the Great, are still not widely used by players, due to the first factor: both Commanders can only be used in a Kingdom that is more than 310 days old, the second reason: both were released a few days ago.
The archer commanders or Archers in Rise of Kingdoms are known for their powerful nuking abilities. Their high base attack damage and extraordinary damage skills will definitely force the enemy ranks to take considerable damage. Regardless of how you will take advantage of it, the Archer commander will definitely not let you down.
