Skill upgrade order

5-5-1-5

Xiang Yu’s third skill is only useful in rally situations. So you can avoid it and go straight for fourth skill. However, his expertise gives a nice skill damage boost so you should go all the way and max him out even for open-field situations.

Rally option 1 – Chandragupta secondary

As you might already know XY and Chandra is cavalry rally meta. This particular talent tree seems to be doing very well against most garrison. As you can see clarity special talent has been skipped that’s because Chandra doesn’t do skill damage.

Rally Options 2 – skill based cavalry secondary

It’s not really advisable to pair XY with any other commander than Chandragupta for Rally. However, if you do plan to pair him with the skill-based commander, then you can go with a clarity build.

Xiang Yu(XY) Commander Pairings

XY has lower rage requirements(900) than other commanders and also has defense reduction debuff. So it’s better to use him as the primary commander, He can significantly boost the dmg output of the secondary commander.

• William – The number one open field pairing, it has everything, double AOE skill damage, March speed, attack buffs, and debuffs. This is still the number one pairing even after Nevsky’s release.
• Alexander Nevsky – Nevsky has very high skill damage capability when you pair it with a small skill cycle of XY, It becomes an insane nuke machine. However this pairing lacks defense.
• Chandragupta Maurya– this is the current rally meta and works against every single garrison even the infantry garrison of Zenobia.
• Genghis Khan– Khan is a rage machine with good March speed. So his synergy with XY is natural. They can do tons of damage together. On the other hand if not used right they can break easily too.
• Saladin – XY has lots of attacks but no defense that’s where Saladin comes in. He can provide extra tankiness
• Baibars – He can be a good f2p/low-budget option who can provide AOE, March speed, and decent attack boost.
