Best Troops

With Pakal you should run infantry units. None of his skills is about having only infantry units in the march, but the max talent in the Infantry Tree is and most buffs also only apply to infantry units.

Best Commander Pairing for Pakal II

Harald Sigurdsson

Alexander the Great

Guan Yu

Harald Sigurdsson and Pakal offer amazing sustain, great damage. This will give you a lot options as their kits and mehanics simply run so well together. Alexander the Great is a viable pairing and you can use both commanders as the primary commander. With Alexander as the primary, you will have more damage, with Pakal primary you have more tankiness on the battlefield. The only downside of this pairing is that it misses area of effect damage, but I still like it a lot. Guan Yu paired with Pakal also makes sense. It’as not as strong as the other ones and you really need to get focused to get much out of this combination. – -. – -.

Best Equipment Forge Order

In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Pakal II. I have tailored this priority order that you can follow step-by-step to prevent forging and running equipment that is not useful or only provides a very small improvement. Follow the equipment path step-by-step and you will have the best and most economical gear:

Iron Helm is the first gear piece to forge and equip and has good attack stats for the invest

Cloth Gloves is like the Iron Helmet a really low-hanging fruit with solud stats for the investment

Blessed Blade is an amazing piece with massive additional health for infantry and a must-gear piece at this point

Infantry Breastplate has some decent defense for infantry and is a solid next gear item especially as you can use any defensive stats that you can get at this point and they deliver just that

Ranger Trousers are the only gear piece that you can use here that have infantry stats, although it's attack

Boots of Reverence is like the Ranger Trousers the only green option with infantry stats but the attack it offers is in general not that important but rather have it than leaving this slot without anything

Windswept Bracers are the first blue gear to equip and it changes the defense to health, which is great. As I mentioned in so many other spots, health is the strongest stat in Rise of Kingdoms so this is a switch that makes absolutely sense

Windswept War Helm is the next item to use. It will make the set bonus for the Windswept set with additional attack and has more attack than the Iron Helm you had here so it's definitely an improvement

Windswept Boots is not the most obvious next step as most players tend to rather choose The Scarlet Hounds but hear me out. Your previous gear here had attack and the Scarlet Hounds looks very juicy with the 4% health, but with infantry at this point you struggle so much with march speed that the additional march speed in the Windswept Boots is more than worth it and you NEED this gear item to get the second Windswept Set Bonus of 4 items (as there is no Windswept leg gear), and this set bonus will give you additional 4% march speed. For that reason take the hit and skip the health and take the Windswept Boots here

Windswept Breastplate has solid defense and gives you the 2nd Windswept Bonus with 4% march speed so that should be your next step here

How to unlock

And for the artifacts I have tested the different ones here so you can see which ones perform the best (of course I only tested/list the ones that make sense):

Horn of Fury

Vengeance

Ring of Doom

Scolas Lucky Coin

Concealed Dagger

Wind Scars

Moras Web

Greatest Glory

Call of the Loyal

Horn of Fury helps Pakal cycle through his active skill faster and is a mandatory equipment accessory in my opinion.Vengeance is the accessory of choice when you’re cheesburgering with Pakal And Harald and you skill cycle fast and deal tons of counterattack damage. If you use Pakal for rallying, use Ring of Doom instead.

Best Builds For Pakal II

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Pakal II 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.

For using Pakal for rallying I recommend you to run this talent build here. You might wonder why this rally build is not spending any points into the Conquering Tree, right? Well, the reason is this one here maximizes the mechanics of Pakal very well and this makes him so much stronger than spending the plain points into the Conquering Tree. Here’s the best order how to build this setup. Defense Tree would be your first step here and you want to go to the Desperate Elegy point as fast as possible. This is insane to have and will bump up your energy regeneration so crazy. This is for rally only as it will require you to have your army reduced to below 30% (something you don’t want to have in the open field, but in rally scenarios absolutely normal). Infantry Tree is where you should spend the points next. You will get nice stat buffs as well as more rage that comes in handy with Pakal.

If you’re using Pakal in the open field, this is the build you want to use. This build is similar to the one above, but you do not go for Desperate Elegy in the Defense Tree as you don’t want to drop below 30% to make use of it. Instead you can spend more points in the Infantry Tree as well as Buckler Shield to reduce the counterattack damage you’re getting.

Conclusion

I hope this guide for building Pakal II helped you investing without wasting much time and resources.

Thanks for reading and have a great day and see you out in the kingdoms.
