Best Troops
Cavalry, Cavalry, Cavalry. Her skills, her talents and also synergies with other commanders in Rise of Kingdoms are all about cavalry so best just take a full cavalry march with her to gain the most out of it without overthinking too much how mixing troops can affect things here.
Best Commander Pairing for Joan of Arc (Prime)
Alexander Nevsky is my personal favorite commander pairing and you’d use Joan Prime as the primary commander to get all those buffs going and then gain Nevsky’s extra hard-hitting active skill + the additional benefits of more extra attack when running full cavalry. They simply punch so well together that you don’t want to ever use any other setup ever again (See full build here).
Xiang Yu is also a pairing that you might take a deeper look into. You get Yiang Yu fire off his active skill with the debuff before Joan and the damage they do is just out of this world. But, and here’s the dealbreaker for most players, there’s no defensive capabilities at all and the only way to make this march durable is using equipment with a lo of hitpoints and defense (See full build here).
Honda Tadakatsu is on the other hand a great commander to cover the damage you take and give the glass-cannon Joan a nice buffer and more durability plus his increased skill damage buff the less troops you have works really well along Joan with her high skill damage skill (See full build here).
Mehmed II also provides extra skill damage and provides more defense so Joan will not burn down so fast (See full build here).
Julius Caesar can also work but should not be your first pick here. The synergy they have is that Julius has his active skill buff and when you get the extra attack from Joan in within that 5 seconds, you will pack a huge punch (See full build here).

Best Talent Tree Builds For Joan of Arc (Prime)
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Joan of Arc (Prime) 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 only talent build for Joan and here are some annotations to it. Start off by getting Rejuvenate in the Suport Tree, but don’t invest more than 2 points here as the Rejuvenate in the Support Tree generates a lot more rage than the one in the Skill Tree and with all 3 points there you’re very likely generating over the rage cap so all extra rage is going nowhere. Emergency Protection is a talent that may be more worth your while and helps reducing Joan getting hit too hard with skill damage. The other points should then all go into the Cavarly Tre from here. We talked about this above how you should run Joan Prime only with Cavalry troops so she will gain a lot more from this side of the talent tree.
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:
