Skill Order

Best Troops

Cavalry. All cavalry. His skills and some talents are built around running as much cavalry as you can. I mean he has no skill or talent requiring to run cavalry exclusively, but if you want all the buffs you need to run as much cavalry as possible with Bertrand.

Best Commander Pairing for Bertrand

Alexander Nevsky without a doubt. You will get loads of damage from Nevsky, good synergy also on the cavalry and Bertrand adds the survivability that makes the pairing less a glass cannon as you would have it with Nevsky (See full build here).

Cao Cao is also a valid pairing as he also adds a healing factor and more importantly adds some additional rage generation that is missing from Bertrand talent trees a little bit (See full build here).

Trajan For open field,running a support commander as the secondary commander adds a lot of versatility. I like running Trajan (See full build here).

Aethelflaed can be an option although not as viable as the pairings above (See full build here).

Mulan can be an option although not as viable as the pairings above (See full build here).

Best Equipment Forge Order

In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Bertrand. There are different builds for wherever you are right now, from beginner to veteran:

Best Talent Tree Builds For Bertrand

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Bertrand 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.

As I mentioned a couple of times above, Bertrand’s primary and almost exclusive use-case in Rise of Kingdoms is running as primary commander in rally situations and for me, there’s only one talent build that really makes sense (with some adaption if you want to, but more on that below).

With Emblazoned Shield and Disarm, you will get two really good talents that reduce the damage taken and also with useful talents on the way. Undying Fury is also useful for the extra rage generation that Bertrand really needs wherever possible.

Buckler Shield in the Conquering Tree is also useful to reduce the counterattack damage and the flat attack bonus buff on the way there is also welcome to boost damage up.

In the Defense Tree you can pick up more useful talents and you have a pretty stable one.

If you don’t want to use Disarm in the Cavalry Tree as you prefer to have a more flat buff instead of one that triggers with a 10% chance (still, I personally believe that Disarm is a must-have so I only give you the options) – you might want to invest those points into Medicinal Supplies in the Defense Tree that will give some healing factor. You might want to try both setups of talents to see what will suit you more.

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:
