Best Troops

Harald Sigurdsson is an infantry commander and although he has no skill or talent that requires him to run infantry troops exclusively, you want to run as many infantry units in your march as you can for the simply reason that a good bunch of his skill and talent buffs will affect only infantry units and you want to make full use of that.

Guan Yu is one of my favorite pairings with Harald for the simple reason that their synergy will be very well and additional AoE damage and healing factor contributes very well to the mechanics of Harald. Leonidas paired with Harald is also a pairing I really like for the fact that Leonids adds resistance to the troops. Alexander the Great adds a ton of sustain to your march as secondary commander and he will absorb a lot of incoming damage and with the damage output of Harald you still have a fearsome setup going on. – -. – -.

Best Equipment Forge Order

In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Harald Sigurdsson. 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

And for the artifacts I have tested the different ones here so you can see which ones perform the best (of course I only tested/list the ones that make sense):

Horn of Fury

Ring of Doom

Vengeance

Scolas Lucky Coin

Concealed Dagger

Wind Scars

Moras Web

Greatest Glory

Call of the Loyal

Horn of Fury helps cycling through his active skill as much as possible and, yes, although there are numerous debates about rage generation cap and over-raging with all the extra rage going on with Harald, I’d not overthink it too much and use Horn of Fury.Ring of Doom is another well-working legendary accessory for scaling up damage based on percentage, and this works for all kinds of damage that you do with him.

Best Builds For Harald Sigurdsson

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Harald Sigurdsson 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.For Harald Sigurdsson you want to have a talent build that focus around generating rage as much as possible to keep stacking up his skills and cycle through his active skill.I have played with many different talent builds you can find around, especially the ones that focus around the Infantry Tree with Elite Soldiers, but I think there’s one crazy talent build that will work best for all situations as it will buff stats in a better way than getting the final talents into one tree.The main reason here is that Strong of Body will buff your health by 6% which is simply better than Elite Soldier buff that also requires a only-infantry march. Also Buckler Shield with9% reduced counterattack damage is a lot more powerful than Snare of Thorns.So what you want to do when it comes to priority if you haven#t have your Harald maxed, yet, is to get Rejuvenate first to gain that extra rage. From here go after Undying Fury, this will get your rage engine started and make you cycle through your skills a lot faster.From here Clarity is the next pick with a good bunch of extra damage and also picking up some valuable talnts on the way.Now go for Strong of Body for the nice health buff that you will really feel on the battlefield and then you can spend the talent points according to the image above.
