Best Troops
As a defender and without unit specialization, Theodora doesn’t care about troop types.
Best Commander Pairing for Theodora
Yi Sun-Sin (YSS) So, for defending your city (or also structure), the most meta pairing there is is Theodora secondary with Yi Sun-Sin primary. This is an insane mix and will be almost impossible to beat as both of them work so well hand-in-hand. Yi-Seong Gye (YSG) Alternatively you can pair her up with a YSG and get tons of damage done. Artemisia is a good pick with her disarm skill that will be super nasty to deal with. – -. – -.

Best Equipment Forge Order
In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Theodora. 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):
Ring of Doom adds percentage of all damage dealt and that also includes counterattack damage and is an excellent legendary accessory to scale her kit up.Vengeance helps a lot when your assume you’ll be getting swarmed or without I can also recommend Horn of Fury instead.
Best Builds For Theodora
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Theodora 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.
Well, as we learned above you want to use Theodora in defensive situations and there are two builds that I can recommend – one is for defending your city and one for defending structures. The reason there are different builds is that some talents in the Garrison Tree are not taking effect when defending your city. Let’s start with the build you want to use when you use Theodora as defender of your city. So you basically go in as deep into the Garrison Tree until you find the talents that will not apply when defending your city, so you still get the benefits from Know The Enemy, Nowhere To Turn and Impregnable along with the nice buffs along.The Leadership Tree is pretty much useless for Theodora as there’s so much rally talents in there, but getting Hidden Wrath is mandatory for me as it will give so much additional rage that it’s impossible to neglect it. From here spend the remaining points in the Defense Tree where you also find some nice talents to pick up. Especially Testudo Formation, Loose Formation and Balance are great picks here.
When you use Theodora as garrison commander outside your city, there’s some additional options you have that will change the build above for your city. Again, picking up Hidden Wrath from the Leadership Tree is mandatory for a good bunch of extra health that will help a lot, especially as her active skill is in a circle shape.Then you would go into the Garrison Tree as shown above but a little deeper to pick up Kings Guard which just has a nice buff that you don’t want to miss out. In the Defense Tree you want to get Medicinal Supplies as this will give you a healing factor and that’s great for keeping in longer in structures.
