Skill Order
When you star up Scipio Africanus (Prime), you also unlock a new skill. This helps you fine-tune in what order you want to upgrade the skills of your commander as not all skills are equally good and worth maxing or worth maxing first (in general) – this helps to invest your sculptures more reasonably to get the biggest bang for your buck.
All of Scipio’s skills a blockbuster and very powerful. You want to invest fully into expertising him and you will not regret that. If you’re not able to go all-in with him, that’s alright, you can already run him wild in the open field without having him expertised. In this case I’d say max out the first skill and then star up all the way as much as you can and level the skills up as you can. Unlocking them is always stronger than reaching an additional skill level and, as I said, you want to expertise him all the way in the long run.
Best Troops
Scipio Prime is an Infantry commander but none of his skill per-se is limiting you to only run a full-infantry march – however, pairing him with other infantry commander plus the talent builds you see below kind-of do. So, I’d just run a full infantry march with him and have a ton of fun without overthinking.

Best Equipment
In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Scipio Africanus (Prime):
Infantry doesn’t have a favored gear set that you should go for in general, but I recommend aiming to equip this commander with Windswept items as basic equipment and then start aiming for Witch’s Lineage, Quinn’s Soul, Gatekeeper’s Shield, Seth,s Brutality, Kuruak’s Humility and Frost Treads when you gear it towards max
Best Builds For Scipio Africanus (Prime)
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Scipio Africanus (Prime) 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 porbably the talent tree that works best for the majjority of players as very balanced with some exxtra rage and treats from the Support Treee and thenn all-inn with the Infantry Tree as this is where Scipio’s power is. Please also mind that Rejuvenate in the Support Tree does a lot more extra rage compared to the Skill Tree, so two points will be enough here or you very likely go over the rage cap and that point is wasted. If you pair Scipio up with a commander that does healing, however, you might consider getting Coutnerattack and Healing Elixir in the Skill Tree and cut it a little short in the Infantry Tree.
Here’s more a support build that I think will also run pretty great with Scipio Prime, but I would not get Snare of Thorns. Not because it’s useless or it might not work, I don’t take it as I think the other ones are just more valuable but if you decidet o put your points there it probably won’t be too dramatic.
