Best Troops

Well, technically you will invest in infantry units, but no skill is entirely about infantry armies and earlier in Rise of Kingdoms you will run mixed marches a lot so I would say there’s a favor for infantry units but you can also run him with all troop types.

Best Commander Pairing for Bjorn Ironside

Sun Tzu

Boudica

Eulji Mundeok

Sun Tzu as the secondary commander with Bjorn Ironside is the epic pairing dream team. This pairing is so insane as Sun Tzu will generate a lot more extra rage for every target he hits, that favors Bjorns primary skill a lot, and this means that Bjorn will increase the active damage that Sun Tzu deals to every target. These two commanders basically charge each other up and get insane for early game. Boudica is another epic commander I’d recommend Bjorn with. She also generates a lot of extra rage for him and also provides healing, so not that powerful as Sun Tzu but also a good one. Eulji Mundeok is also possible as he adds a ton of debuffs. I favor the ones above but it’s still a pairing you can run around a lot and work your way through. – -. – -.

Best Equipment Forge Order

In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Bjorn Ironside. I have tailored this priority order that you can follow step-by-step to prevent forging and running equipment that is not useful or only provides a very small improvement. Follow the equipment path step-by-step and you will have the best and most economical gear:

Iron Helm is the first gear piece to forge and equip and has good attack stats for the invest

Cloth Gloves is like the Iron Helmet a really low-hanging fruit with solud stats for the investment

Blessed Blade is an amazing piece with massive additional health for infantry and a must-gear piece at this point

Infantry Breastplate has some decent defense for infantry and is a solid next gear item especially as you can use any defensive stats that you can get at this point and they deliver just that

Ranger Trousers are the only gear piece that you can use here that have infantry stats, although it's attack

Boots of Reverence is like the Ranger Trousers the only green option with infantry stats but the attack it offers is in general not that important but rather have it than leaving this slot without anything

Windswept Bracers are the first blue gear to equip and it changes the defense to health, which is great. As I mentioned in so many other spots, health is the strongest stat in Rise of Kingdoms so this is a switch that makes absolutely sense

Windswept War Helm is the next item to use. It will make the set bonus for the Windswept set with additional attack and has more attack than the Iron Helm you had here so it's definitely an improvement

Windswept Boots is not the most obvious next step as most players tend to rather choose The Scarlet Hounds but hear me out. Your previous gear here had attack and the Scarlet Hounds looks very juicy with the 4% health, but with infantry at this point you struggle so much with march speed that the additional march speed in the Windswept Boots is more than worth it and you NEED this gear item to get the second Windswept Set Bonus of 4 items (as there is no Windswept leg gear), and this set bonus will give you additional 4% march speed. For that reason take the hit and skip the health and take the Windswept Boots here

Windswept Breastplate has solid defense and gives you the 2nd Windswept Bonus with 4% march speed so that should be your next step here

Best Builds For Bjorn Ironside

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Bjorn Ironside 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.There are two possible builds you want to run with Bjorn. The first one is (Skill Tree Build), in my opinion, the best one as it will favor his mechanics of rage generation and applying his debuff most. The second one (Infantry Tree Build) will not ramp up as much burst and damage output, but will give Bjorn more sustain on the battlefield. It’s not worst, but I recommend run the Skill Tree Build.Here’s the best order how to build the Skill Tree setup:Attack Tree is your best friend here as you want to generate as much rage as possible to keep firing Bjorn’s active skill as much as you can to keep the uptime of his debuff up. Your first goal will be getting Rejuvenate. This will generate extra rage for every skill used, making skills come more frequently and generating even more rage. From here take the minimum invest to get Feral Nature. This already makes him a crazy rage engine.Infantry Tree now offers some nice additional talents for you once you’re finished with the Skill Tree. Undying Fury should be first and with Fleet of Foot you will gain some more march speed which is really useful in the open field. Then spend the other points as you see above.Last points now to Buckler Shield in the Conquering Tree to reduce the counterattack damage and you have a serious build that will rock.Here’s the build that will generate less rage but give a lot more sustain in the field.Attack Tree is also the first step here where you want to get Rejuvenate as quickly as possible to get the additional rage.Then go into the Infantry Tree and get Snare of Thorns, this will give you some more march speed and rage on the way and also slow down enemies so you can hunt them down even better. Then get Elite Soldiers as quickly as possible. Mind that you need to use full infantry marches to make use of it. Pick up the additional points you see there and you have a hybrid build that will not let you down on the battlefield.
