Best Skill Choices for Nino

Skill work in Age of Empires Mobile a little different compared to other city-building war games where you have a set of skills on a hero that you can level up – in Age of Empires Mobile, you have:

  • Commander Skill: this is the left skill and this skill is only actively used if your hero is the commander (the primary) hero of your legion
  • Signature Skill: this skill is unique to the hero and can only be used by this hero and is autoamtically leveld up with the hero. Unlike the commander skill, this skill is always used no matter if your hero is the primary commander or not
  • Flexible Skill: you have 6 available skills here where you can pick 2 that your hero will use. Picking the right ones will save you a ton of resources as you simply can’t level up all of them for all heroes to see which ones work best

But here is the good news – we did exactly that (level up all skills and tested them) to tell you which ones are worth leveling or not:
