Best Talent Tree Builds For Ivan IV
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Ivan IV 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.
The recommended talent build focuses on an offensive playstyle by choosing the A Good Day to Die talent, which boosts damage output at the cost of higher damage taken. This high-risk strategy works best for players who actively micromanage their marches to maintain health during battles. Players who prefer a more forgiving approach can instead pick Impenetrable for defensive bonuses when march health is low, although maintaining high health remains the most effective way to optimize performance.
