Skill Order Finetuning

Below you will find the best order to unlock and level up skills by how useful they are so you don’t have to level the skills up one by one and spend a lot of extra sculptures on it. This will let you use this commander earlier and also saves you important Universal Sculptures in the long run!

Your sweetspot of skills to make this commander useful is: 5555 and this is the recommended way to get there:

Best Troops

He loves all troops and actually benefits from using different troop types but also works with one. Incredible universal when it comes to that.

Best Commander Pairing for Philip II

Ragnar (Prime)

Ashurbanipal

Hermann (Prime)

Scipio Africanus (Prime)

Ragnar (Prime) is with his incredible strong skill and the way their kits work together, without doubt, the strongest pairing right now. Ashurbanipal if you have him expertised and you get the extra triggering of the buff with each active skill, you have a pairing that is buffed up under the teeth. Well, with the small asterix that you have to have both expertised, of course… but still an incredibly strong combination you can run. Hermann (Prime) for the sake of it, they work together well with the way their skills interact although they are not really designed to work together specifically. But, the way Hermann Prime dominates right now makes it still a dangerous and viable pairing. Scipio Africanus (Prime) as secondary commander with Philip as the primary commander is a pairing that works really well together but I wouldn’t build Scipio Prime for the sake of it. – -.

Best Equipment Forge Order

In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Philip 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:

White equip the white gear as it will be useful. This depends what commander you use as secondary commander and therefore also what troop types you will use with the commander. You can technically also use all white equipment if you have it lying around but I#d select them more how you need them

Blessed Blade is a good gear piece, unless you run this commander along cavalry marches, as you will get solid stats for infantry and archer troops

Helm of the Phoenix also offer quite broad stats that I find the most helpful of the choices you have at this point

Milanese Plate also offers broad mix of stats that work, generally, the best here

Leather Gloves are my recommended gear piece now

Ranger Trousers are, unless you run with a cavalry only march, a great gear piece to use

Edged Boots are then the last green equipment that makes sense

Blazing Axe has attack for all troops types and is the perfect gear piece at this point and the one you probably rocking the longest time altogether

Sentry Breeches also offers stats for all troop types and are, in my opinion, the most useful gear piece to swap in now

Windswept War Helm has no stats for all troop types but the march speed bonus that every single march appreciates

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):

Mora's Web

Ring of Doom

Concealed Dagger

Delanes Amulet

Ancient Stratagems

Call of the Loyal

Mora’s Web is a pretty nice fit with Lapulapu.Ring of Doom is an everygreen acceessory that buffs all damage dealt and fits him well (and bettter then the other legendary options).

Best Builds For Philip II

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Philip 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.This is the talent tree that makes, in my opinion, the most sense. Please mind that you want the Rejuvenate extra rage but not too much as this build normally already gets you towards the rage cap so more points there would be wasted.

Conclusion

I hope this guide for building Philip 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.
