Best Troops
It won’t make much sense to use Saladin with other troops than cavalry as the bonus stats on his skills are for cavalry and all talent builds also favor the Cavalry Tree as well. Before thinking too much about it, just take cavalry and call it a day.
Best Commander Pairing for Saladin
Alexander Nevsky is an incredible pair with Saladin and they go well together. They are tanky, they deal damage and everything here works really well together and they are one of the best cavalry pairs in the game. William I is paired with Saladin another amazing cavalry pair and well-balanced. I also really like the fact that you only need a 5551 William to make this pair work so the investment here is really friendly. This was also the best cavalry pairs in Rise of Kingdoms before the release of Alexander Nevsky. Takeda Shingen makes an extremely tanky pair in Rise of Kingdoms and they are very durable, however, they will not deal that much damage. Genghis Khan as the primary commander for open field and Saladin as the secondary commander is, in my opinion, the best pairing with Saladin early game. Khan provides the damage that is needed while Saladin makes the march more durable with his survivability. Yi-Seong Gye (YSG) is also a viable secondary commander to Saladin and helps dealing damage, aoe and Saladin provides the survivability.

Best Equipment Forge Order
In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Saladin. 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:

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 is a accessory that fits so well with Saladin as it has a chance to generate extra rage with every normal attack and is a little exra rage engine that helps Saladin cycle through his active skill quicker.Ring of Doom is just an incredible accessory to run as you have the chance to deal extra damage and this contributes so well with Saladin. Just a damage-scaling equipment piece that will make a great impact here.
