Best Troops
Use all infantry. His 3rd skill demand you to use ONLY infantry units with him and also the only talent build that makes sense has most points in the Infantry Tree.
Best Commander Pairing for Cheok Jun-Gyeong (CJ)
Alexander the Great as the primary commander you have a great pairing, but you need Alexander to be expertise to get the massive damage increase for Cheok’s primary skill. Another bonus here is that they have identical talent trees so they share perfect synergy there as well (See full build here).
Guan Yu is a great fit with Cheok’s 4th skill increasing skill damage that Guan Yu benefits directly from with how two skills that deal direct skill damage (See full build here).
Harald Sigurdsson is a nice pairing with CJ for pretty much the same reason. They boost their damage vice versa so you can also nuke a lot with them. I’d use Harald as the primary commander in this pairing (See full build here).

Best Talent Tree Builds For Cheok Jun-Gyeong (CJ)
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Cheok Jun-Gyeong (CJ) 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.

Actually there’s only one build for Cheok that makes much sense. Here’s the best order how to build this setup…
Attack Tree: will be your first priority and you want to get Fight To The Death. It will increase the damage taken but you will get such a nice boost for the damage. Then get Effortless for another nice damage increase the longer the battle lasts. With Armored Joints you then get the damage you get from Fight To The Death neutralized.
Infantry Tree: will now be your next step and you will try to get Elite Soldiers and I’d take Snare of Thorns first. This is helpful as this build misses out some extra march speed for the good reason of other buffs. Then use the remaining points as shown above.
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:
