Best Troops
Frederick doesn’t care about troop types at all. There’s no advantage or disadvantage of using a certain troop type, but if you use a secondary commander for rage generation (that Frederick really needs), you might meet the troop type standards of this commander as well.
Best Commander Pairing for Frederick
Yi-Seong Gye (YSG) brings the area damage and and some extra rage and in total is a commander that works well with Frederick in early kingdoms. However, both are heavy damage dealers and can turn into a glass-cannon. Richard provides a ton of durability along Frederick so you have the damage from Freddy and the tankiness from Richard that go well along each other. Sun Tzu has a great rage engine and provides Frederick with extra rage that helps him on the other side cycling through his primary skill more frequently. Boudica is a very early pairing and provides a lot of useful traits fro Fredd. Pelagius can also be a early pairing as their kits work well with each other.

Best Equipment Forge Order
In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Frederick. 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:

How to unlock
And for the artifacts there is not much available as Freddy is a starting commander and once you will get access to more powerful artifacts he is not a commander you will run as primary commander anymore:
Call of the Loyal makes most sense here for the simple reason that you will not have viable artifacts available when this commander is great and once there are better options available, you will normally use other commanders already so everything beyond this would be pure theorycrafting.
Best Builds For Frederick
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Frederick 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 primary build to use when using Frederick to rally cities, no matter if that’s simple attacking or being the rally leader with him. So let’s have a closer look at what the talent points are used for.Conquering Tree is the first one to spend your talent points on and you want to go for Entrenched as fast as possible because it will improve the damage you deal on a garrison, which is the best you can have when attacking a city. After that Tear of Blessing is, obviously, your second objective in the Conquering Tree here to reduce the amount of troops that die and rather get wounded when attacking another player’s city. If you have both of them, Entrenched and Tear of Blessing, you can get Meteor Shower and this is a really helpful talent that can give you a huge additional damage buff for the next attack when it proccs.Skill Tree is now your turn to get to Rejuvenate as quickly as possible to get that sweeet extra rage. If you remember my words in the beginning, we want to get as much rage as possible to get Frederick’s first skill rolling as fast and often as possible.Leadership Tree is where you will spend your last points, depending how much you leveld Frederick up. Hidden Wrath is really nice to get the extra rage and Healing Herbs will halp the second skill heal your troops during the rally. Then you can also get the March Speed.
If you want to do rallies against objectives you can also use this alternative build here that focus on getting rage and skill damage buffed up as much as possible – which can give you a great blast. Skill Tree is the first stop here to get Rejuvenate to get the extra rage to get your first skill rocking as often as possible. Latent Power is here also very useful because it will give you a decent buff on your first skill damage.Leadership Tree has some really nice talents in there that will buff your damage. Name of the King is the ultimate talent you want to get here.But actually I like the build that I show now a little bit more…
I personally like this build here for rallying objectives more simply because it focus on creating more rage in the Skill Tree and the primary skill already deals such tons of damage that you don’t need to buff it and rather should get the rage generation buffed so it will get used more often during that rally with Frederick.
