Skill Order
When you star up Chandragupta, you also unlock a new skill. This helps you fine-tune in what order you want to upgrade the skills of your commander as not all skills are equally good and worth maxing or worth maxing first (in general) – this helps to invest your sculptures more reasonably to get the biggest bang for your buck.
Chandragupta mechanics are a little different when it comes how he performs and applies damage. His active skill is a powerfull buff that makes troops deal significantly more damage to the target but there’s literally no direct skill damage involved. This comes into play by stacking up his Blessing and then using his 4th skill, which triggers right after ANY commander in your march uses an active skill. This removes the blessing and deals up to 2000 damage factor of direct damage. So, in order to build your skills with Chandragupta, I’d actually take him to 4-Star as quickly as possible and try to land as many skill points into the 3rd and 4th skill. The 2nd skill is a nice-to-have if you rally but not that relevant so only pick that up on your way to Experties – but if you#re not there yet, prioritize the 3rd and 4th skill, they have the biggest impact!
Best Troops
Chandragupta is all about cavalry and although the only skill part that requires having only cavalry is the 3rd skill – and that’s JUST a higher chance to apply the Exhaust effect, not the full skill. Overall you can run him with a mixed army, but bring as many cavarly as possible to gain the maximum effect out of his buffs.

Best Equipment
In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Chandragupta:
As Cavalry Commander, you want to equipt with the normal cavalry equipment gear pieces, starting with Windswept Set And Vanguard Set as the basic equipment to put onto him. From there you can take it to the more advanced equipment pieces
Best Builds For Chandragupta
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Chandragupta 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’s, in my opinion, not too many options you have building Chandragupta’s talent tree. He’s a lot about cavalry and as you really want to run him in a full calvary march, investing all the points into the Cavalry Tree is no mistake. I’d go first into the Skill Tree, though and pick up Rejuvenate for the extra rage so you cycle faster through his active skill that makes normal troops deal much more damage and trigger his 4th skill more frequently. Some players prefer Heraldic Shield but i prefer Latent Power as this will affect his hugeh direct damage factor from his 4th skill + making him more durable is not worth it as he is such a glass-cannon that you need to run him with a commander that helps out with durability. Then go all-inn with the Cavalry Tree and see some crazy results happening.

I hope this guide for building Chandragupta helped you investing without wasting much time and resources.
