Best Troops
Leonidas is all about infantry marches, especially as his 2nd skill requires to only have infantry units in the march to give that extra defense and rage boost.
Best Commander Pairing for Leonidas
Guan Yu By far, the most effective and powerful pairing that makes it into lots of meta marches right now is using Guan Yu as the primary commander with Leonidas secondary. Guan will pack a punch and deal loads of damage and Leonidas will make that march really sustainable and also benefit that 50% extra from the silence that Guan Yu provides – a really powerful setup for the open field. (See full build here).
Harald Sigurdsson Pairing Leonidas with Harald is also a setup that will get you out of trouble easily and no attacker really want to mess with that (See full build here).
Charles Martel is also a super tanky option with Leonidas primary but only use that in younger kingdoms where better commanders aren’t available, yet (See full build here).

Best Talent Tree Builds For Leonidas
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Leonidas 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.
As Leonidas works really well as secondary commander, there’s not that many use-cases you want to run him so let’s start with the one talent build you probably run him most.
Sunset Canyon Build
So when you run Leonidas in Sunset Canyon, and that’s probably the only reason to build his talents unless you’re in a rather new kingdom, you really want to run this talent build. Making your way to Desprate Elegy first will be great and that situation comes in often and it will bump up Leonidas rage generation by a lot and give him a strong finish boost.
With the leftover points you want to make your way to Hold The Line and don’t forget to also get Strong of Body on the way and it’s a solid build that will give you a lot of fun running him in Canyon.
From here spend the last points in Loose Formation and Balance.
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:
Conclusion
