Best Build for Every Hero in Age of Empires Mobile

Age of Empires Mobile offers a fun and new way to experience MMOs, where you can recruit your favorite personalities from across history, and have them command your army. But, with over 30 different legendary hero choices, it can be quite confusing on which ones to choose, and how to properly build them. So, to help you out, we've created this complete guide on building and using every hero in Age of Empires Mobile.

Best Build For Every Hero In Age of Empires

Every hero in Age of Empires Mobile falls into one of three specializations: Warrior, Tactician, or Marshal. Based on this specialization, you get a different talent page, and you also need to choose different hero skills. So, here's the recommended build for every specialization:

• Warriors: These heroes mostly deal Might damage, so increasing their Might damage and Skill damage should be your priority. Apart from that, focus on damage reduction to get some additional defense and Normal attack increase.
• Tacticians: Unlike warriors, heroes with Tactician specialization are either gathering heroes or primarily inflict debuffs. For your gathering heroes, like Diao Chan, prioritize Gathering speed and amount bonuses. For offensive heroes, get Strategy and Skill damage increase.
• Marshal: Finally, Marshal heroes are a mix of both the above. Depending on what role you're using them for, you should either get Might or Siege stats and if you've got leftover talent points, put them in Armour.

While the above gives you a general idea of how to build your heroes, every hero still requires a bit of tweaking to get the most value. So, I've compiled a complete build for every hero based on their type.

Best Swordsmen Lineups

Warrior Lineup

Heroes: King Arthur/Miyamoto Musashi (Leader), Tribhuwana/Hammurabi, King Derrick/Constantine the Great

King Arthur enters the 'Blessing of Glory' state after activating his signature skill; Tribhuwana greatly increases the activation chance of Arthur's signature while Derrick or Constantine provides a much-needed endurance boost to this offensive lineup.

Tactician Lineup

Heroes: Sun Tzu (Leader), Philip IV/Cleopatra VII, Theodora

Sun Tzu deals massive damage especially in the 'Ultimate Strategist' state when the damage is doubled; Philip IV enhances the troop's DPS while Theodora provides both endurance and additional DPS boost. Overall, the synergy is high.

Marshal Lineup

Heroes: Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Leader), Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu

Toyotomi Hideyoshi deals good damage while boosting the signature skill damage of other heroes; Oda Nobunaga has consistent damage output from his skills which is boosted by Toyotomi, while Tokugawa is great at reducing damage taken and providing recovery for troops.

Best Build For Cavalry Heroes In Age Of Empires Mobile

Cavalry heroes are a bit rarer than most other troop types and have a higher dependency on their commander than other troops as well. There are quite a few top tier hero picks here, so here are the skill builds and talent page focus for each of them.

Hero	Skill 1	Skill 2	Talent Focus
Ashoka	Weak Spot Attack	Act of Mercy	Recovery UP, Strategy UP
Justinian the Great	War Tactic	Peaceful Haven	Strategy UP, Armour UP
Rani Durgavati	Bloodthirst	King's Blade	Might UP, Normal Attack UP
Guan Yu	Berserker	Fatal Blow	Might UP, Skill Damage UP
Harald III	Bloodthirst	High Spirit	Might UP, Armour UP
Tariq	Spirited Pursuit	Roar of Victory	Armour UP, Damage Reduction UP
Hannibal	Double Attack	Crushing Impact	Strategy UP, Might UP
Bushra	Tenacity	Peaceful Haven	Damage Reduction UP, Armour UP

Diao Chan	Windfall	Supplies Transportation	Gathering Boost UP, Gathering Bonus UP
Darius the Great	Spirited Pursuit	Weak Spot Attack	Might UP, Damage Reduction UP
Yi Seong-Gye	Bloodthirst	Battle Roar	Armour UP, Skill Damage UP
Sejong the Great	Tenacity	Peaceful Haven	Armour UP, Damage Reduction UP

Best Cavalry Lineups

Warrior Lineup

Heroes: King Arthur/Guan Yu (Leader), Harald III/Darius the Great, Rani Durgavati/Attila the Hun

Arthur or Guan Yu can both deal significant damage as the core of this lineup with DPS and recovery support from Harald or Darius. To almost double the damage output, you can add Rani Durgavati or Atilla for their double attack buffs.

Tactician Lineup

Heroes: Hannibal (Leader), Justinian the Great/Cleopatra, Ashoka/Attila the Hun

Hannibal's signature skill reduces enemy commander's strategy and defense and his passives decrease all enemy attributes. Upon activating his commander skill, he gains some of the reduced attributes from enemies. Justinian and Ashoka are there to ensure that Hannibal survives long enough to become almost unbeatable.

Marshal Lineup

Heroes: Cid/Yi Seong-Gye (Leader), Tariq/Sejong the Great, Bushra/Tariq

Cid deals extra damage to slowed down enemies, while his signature skills inflict slow debuffs. Tariq significantly boost's the commander's DPS while Bushra provides endurance. Since it relies on debuffs, this lineup is ideal for field battles where debuffs are inflicted easily.

Best Build For Archer Heroes In Age Of Empires Mobile

Archers are ideal for attack heroes, especially with burst skill damage or normal attack boosts. Among the eight hero choices, here is how you should build each of them.

Hero	Skill 1	Skill 2	Talent Focus
Atilla the Hun	Weak Spot Attack	Act of Mercy	Normal Attack UP, Might UP
Josephine	Double Attack	Weak Spot Attack	Might UP, Skill Damage UP
Hua Mulan	Weak Spot Attack	Act of Mercy	Skill Damage UP, Normal Attack UP
King Derrick	Earth Crush	Righteous Judgement	Skill Damage UP, Armour UP
Diao Chan	Supplies Transportation	Windfall	Siege UP, Gathering Boost UP
Yi Sun-Shin	Conflagration	War Tactic	Strategy UP, Skill Damage UP
Theodora	Conflagration	Immortal Army	Armour UP, Damage Reduction UP
Rani Durgavati	Warrior's Hymn	Bloodthirst	Normal Attack UP, Might UP
Queen Seondeok	Conflagration	War Tactic	Strategy UP, Skill Damage UP

Best Archer Lineups

Warrior Lineup

Heroes: Hua Mulan/Josephine (Leader), Josephine/King Derrick, Attila the Hun/Rani Durgavati

Attila is the core because of his double attack buff on every hero; Mulan and Joesphine capitalize on that buff with their huge damage output from Normal Attacks. As such, this is one of the strongest offensive lineups in Age of Empires Mobile.

Tactician Lineup

Heroes: Yi Sun-Shin (Leader), Queen Seondeok, Theodora

Yi Sun-Shin can deal tons of damage in a single attack, as well as increase the skill damage of the next hero. Queen Seondeok inflicts silence debuff on enemies ideal for controlling heroes that rely on active skills while synergizing with Yi Sun-Shin's secondary skill. Theodora provides endurance and constant recovery to this lineup viable for long fights as well.

Marshal Lineup

There are not enough viable heroes for a Marshal Archer lineup.

Best Build For Pikemen Heroes In Age Of Empires Mobile

Pikemen heroes in Age of Empires Mobile, similar to Archer heroes, have limited choices but some of them are extremely strong. Regardless, here's how you should build them, in case you get any of them:

Hero	Skill 1	Skill 2	Talent Focus
Joan of Arc	King's Blade	Fearless Retribution	Might UP, Armour UP
Darius the Great	Spirited Pursuit	Weak Spot Attack	Normal Attack UP, Armour UP
Ashoka	Weak Spot Attack	Act of Mercy	Damage Reduction UP, Strategy UP
Frederick Barbarossa	Peaceful Haven	Tenacity	Damage Reduction UP, Armour UP
Richard I	Forceful Retaliation	Whirlwind Sweep	Might UP, Skill Damage UP
Leonidas	Fearless Retribution	Whirlwind Sweep	Might UP, Skill Damage UP
Bushra	Tenacity	Peaceful Haven	Damage Reduction UP, Skill Damage UP
Octavius	King's Blade	Whirlwind Sweep	Armour UP, Strategy UP
Julius Caesar	Savage	King's Blade	Normal Attack UP, Skill Damage UP

Best Pikemen Lineups

Warrior Lineup

Heroes: Richard I/Leonidas (Leader), Leonidas/Joan of Arc, Frederick Barbarossa/Darius the Great

Ideal for taking on multiple armies at once, with Frederick providing strong defense and huge damage reduction. Leonidas and Joan of Arc trigger Counter attack skills while Richard provides an all-rounded boost for Pikemen heroes.

Tactician Lineup

There are not enough Tactician Pikemen heroes for a lineup.

Marshal Lineup

Heroes: Julius Caesar (Leader), Octavian, Bushra

The core of this lineup is Octavian because he increases the damage every time the other heroes use their signature skills. Every nine seconds Julius and Bushra deal an additional instance of signature skill damage and recovery, further increasing the DPS increase. Ideal for long fights.
