Skill Order
When you star up Imhotep, 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.
There are two ways how you can use Imhotep well in Rise of Kingdoms – either as a secondary commander for city defense or for open field combat. The bad news is, you really need to Expertise him as you want that rage reduction on his active skill that limits the rage that your enemies can generate. With that Expertise skill he is clearly one, of not the, strongest epic commanders in the game – without, he’s just average and you can use mnay other epic commanders instead.
Best Troops
As epic commander you should not care too much about troops types with Imhotep, espcially as you will run him most of the times as secondary commander where this is not limitation whatsoever as none of his skills reuquire you to run only archers.

Best Equipment
In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Imhotep:
As an Archery commander you should start equipping her with equipment like Revival set items, Golden Age and Flame Threads as basic setup before starting to equip stronger legendary equipment on him, but as his regular role is rally captain, you need to pick the strongest infantry-guided gear available for him
Best Builds For Imhotep
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Imhotep 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.
In case you want to use Imhotep as the primary commander (and looking at the pairing section there’s not many reason to do so – ATTENTION! I have to point that out as there are some misunderstandings here regarding Imhotep as your city defender captain: even when you use him for city defense, and he’s the best epic to do that, you still NEED to run him as secondary commander to be able to use his rage reduction from his Expertise! So, there’s NO reason to make a garrison talent build for Imhotep! Sorry for the bold font but I really saw people making that mistake and I wasn’t sure if I pointed that out clear enough above).
Conclusion
I hope this guide for building Imhotep helped you investing without wasting much time and resources.
