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)

Yi-Seong Gye (YSG)

Artemisia

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:

White equip the white gear as it will be useful. This depends what commander you use as secondary commander and therefore also what troop types you will use with the commander. You can technically also use all white equipment if you have it lying around but I#d select them more how you need them

Blessed Blade is a good gear piece, unless you run this commander along cavalry marches, as you will get solid stats for infantry and archer troops

Helm of the Phoenix also offer quite broad stats that I find the most helpful of the choices you have at this point

Milanese Plate also offers broad mix of stats that work, generally, the best here

Leather Gloves are my recommended gear piece now

Ranger Trousers are, unless you run with a cavalry only march, a great gear piece to use

Edged Boots are then the last green equipment that makes sense

Blazing Axe has attack for all troops types and is the perfect gear piece at this point and the one you probably rocking the longest time altogether

Sentry Breeches also offers stats for all troop types and are, in my opinion, the most useful gear piece to swap in now

Windswept War Helm has no stats for all troop types but the march speed bonus that every single march appreciates

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

Vengeance

Ring of Doom

Concealed Dagger

Delanes Amulet

Ancient Stratagems

Call of the Loyal

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.

Conclusion

I hope this guide for building Theodora helped you investing without wasting much time and resources.
