Best Troops
With the way his kit, skills and pairings work, full archers is the only reasonable troop type to take with his march.
Best Commander Pairing for Ashurbanipal
Hermann (Prime) is an excellent pairing with Ashunbanipal and you can either use Hermann Prime as the primary commander if you want to be more durable and Ashunbanipal primaryto deal more damage, whatever you prefer but this is a pretty strong pairing in the open field right now (See full build here).
Zhuge Liang provides a ton of archer benefits that Ashunbanipal likes and they go well together for open field or rally, although having no march speed in your own alliance territory can be a little annoying (See full build here).
Boudica (Prime) is also a great pairing with great single target damage and a lot of archer treats that they can both use togehter (See full build here).
Nebuchadnezzar has pretty much the same kit as Ashurbanipal so they go mutually also really well together with Nebu as kind-of his mini-me (See full build here).

Best Talent Tree Builds For Ashurbanipal
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Ashurbanipal that make sense when running as the primary commander in any march in Rise of Kingdoms. Please also refer to the description below each talent tree as I explain a general route on how you should spend your talents there + some additional background for each talent build that I very likely will appreciate.

This is the open field build that makes most sense with Ashurbanipal as the primary commander, providing all the good stuff and making him the open field beast he is designed to be in Rise of Kingdoms.

This is the best build for Ashunbanipal when you intent to rally but overall also a rounded build for everything he does well.
Best Formation + Armaments
Formation and Armaments are supposed to work perfectly with your commanders kit or you will find yourself very quickly in a disadvantage on the battlefield – and with so many variations it can be tough to stay on top. Here is what the works best in today’s meta:
