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 Commander Pairing for Scipio Africanus (Prime)
Guan Yu has, for me, the best synergy as you gain shield through Scipio that makes Guan Yu deal more damage and overall they benefit so much from each other. Alexander the Great makes along Scipio a march that will add a ton of tankiness and durability and there’s a lot shielding going on along the high-scaling direct damage skills that will give your enemies a tough time. Trajan can also work along Scipio and you might even run a mixed troop march when doing so. It’s a way better version of the well-known Trajan & Aethelflaed march. Cheok Jun-Gyeong (CJ) works mazingly well due to one great synergy both of these commanders share… So, Scipio will shield and decrease skill damage dealt by the enemy while CJ will shield and deal AoE damage. This is a ton of shielding your enemy has to deal with, by taking extra damage and dealing less skill damage. Honda Tadakatsu . Along with other commanders as you can pair Scipio with pretty much any other commander! Mehmed, Harald and even Aethelflaed make sense. If Scipio is your first legendary commander you can also pair him up with an epic commander even a Sun Tzu or Joan of Arc (the epic version) are pairs that will work relatively well.

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 perfect accessory to use with Scipio Prime as it will help chaining his primary skill as much as possible and keeps it running.Ring of Doom is the other accessory that I recommend for Scipio Prime for more damage. You might conisder Mora’s Web, but I personally like running the ring.
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.
