Best Troops
He cares a lot about infantry so take as much as you can if you use him as the garrison captain, espcially with the talent build you see below.
Best Commander Pairing for Flavius
Zenobia is an amazing primary commander to pair Flavius up with with a ton of buffs and counterattack damage if you use them in structures (not your city!) (See full build here).
Scipio Africanus (Prime) is a viable pairing for open field, dealing tons of damage but you should not use this without minding that they are a glass-cannon without defensive capabilities (See full build here).
Harald Sigurdsson is also a pairing you can take to the open field as they will deal incredible amount of counterattack damage plus generate a ton of extra rage. Not as much damage as pairing him up with Scipio, though (See full build here).
Guan Yu also pairs up well with Flavius in the open field but you want to use Guan Yu as the primary commander (See full build here).

Best Talent Tree Builds For Flavius
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Flavius 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 talent build I use him with and I think, although some talent points might be debatable without chaning much of the outcome, that’s the one you want to use defensively with Flavius when you run him as the primary commander. He does well in a number of pairings where he’s the secondary commander, though.
The main idea behind this talent setup is to make Flavius generate as much rage as possible to cycle through his active skill that deals a ton of damage. And in the Skill Tree you have exactly that with Rejuvenate and Feral Nature. They will generate more rage with skills and make Falvius use his skill more frequently and that will make the extra rage come in more frequently.
The leftover points can be put into the other tree for useful stats like health at the end, but going into Feral Nature as you can see in the image should be your priority.
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:
