Best Troops
Doesn’t care about troops type, as garrison commander this is what he does and parts of his skilla ctually prefer different troops types. At the end it doesn’t matter, he is a garrison commander and you can’t control having mixed troops in your city
Best Commander Pairing for Matthias I
Heraclius is a great pair and debatable if the best one but with the chance of you having him built being a lot higher than the other pairs here. They just go really well together and might potentially be the new top garrison pairing here (See full build here).
Lapulapu has not seen all too much love in Rise of Kingdomssofar but that changes since he synergizes almost perfectly with Matthias for a garrison pairing that is to be challenged yet (See full build here).
