Age of Empires Mobile offers a fun and new way to experience MMOs where you can recruit your favorite personalities from throughout history and have them command your army. But, with over 30 different legendary hero options, it can be quite confusing as to which ones to choose, and how to properly build them. So, to help you out, we’ve created this complete guide to building and using every hero in Age of Empires Mobile.
Best Build For Every Hero In Age Of Empires
Each 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 have to choose different hero skills. So, here is the recommended build for each specialization:
- Warriors: These heroes mostly deal May damage, thus increasing their Can take damage and Skill damage should be your priority. Other than that, focus on damage reduction to get some extra defense and Normal attack boost.
- Tacticians: Unlike warriors, heroes with Tactician specialization either collect heroes or mainly deal damage. For your gathering heroes, like Diao Chan, prioritize Collecting speed and quantity bonuses For offensive heroes, get Strategy and Ability damage to enlarge
- Marshal: Finally, Marshal heroes are a mix of both of the above. Depending on what role you use them, you should either get Statistics of Power or Siege and if you have talent points left, put them in Armour.
While the above gives you a general idea of how to build your heroes, each hero still requires some tweaking to get the most value. So, I compiled a complete build for each hero according to their type.
