Best Troops
None of his skills actually force Tariq to only use Infantry troops, but his buff of the 2nd skill increases infantry troops stats so you can run him in a mixed march, but you rather want to run him in an infantry march with as many infantry troops as possible.
Best Commander Pairing for Tariq Ibn Ziyad
Sargon makes a really infantry-heavy pariring but they can also perform together really well in the open field as their skills go well along each other. Probably the best commander pairing for Tariq right now (See full build here).
Scipio Africanus (Prime) is the other pairing that makes sense as Scipio provides durability for the match, but putting things in the right perspective here – this pairing doesn’t work because they have great mechanics with each other, it works because Scipio Prime is just so oncredible strong (See full build here).
Guan Yu is just a theoretical pairing as they both have infantry synergies, but they don’t have any durability whatsoever and get smashed so ahrd together that it actually hurts watching (See full build here).

Best Talent Tree Builds For Tariq Ibn Ziyad
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Tariq Ibn Ziyad 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 build is primarily for rallying and that’s what Tariq is originally designed for. Here’s how build that build (although you shouldn’t use Tariq to rally unless you have him maxed out)… investing into the defense tree heavily as you can see seems odd but Tariq has issues with durability and if you don#t invest into his defense tree, you will turn him into a critical glass cannon that won’t last a bit.
This is an alternative build for Tariq that aims for increasing march speed or reducing enemy march speed to be viable in the open field. Again, Tariq is not intented to be a good open field commander but the rage reduction of his third skill make him perform quite well there but he lacks that march speed and durability – both of which you find if you follow my talent build here. If you haven’t maced him to have talent points available, look into the Infantry tree first before taking up the extra points in the defense tree.
Best Formation + Armaments
Formation and Armaments are supposed to work perfectly with your commanders kit or you will find yourself very quickly in a disadvantage on the battlefield – and with so many variations it can be tough to stay on top. Here is what the works best in today’s meta:
