Best Troops

With his 3rd skill and all other dependencies, Trajan NEEDS to be used with mixed troop types to get the most out of him (and that means you need to bring all 3 different troops types).

Harald Sigurdsson The dream team of pairing Trajan for me is running him Harald Sigurdsson for the reason that Haralds 4th skill counts as an active skill and will trigger most of Trajan’s talents (see that below) so the synergy is incredibly high. Aethelflaed Another good setup to use is running Aethelflaed primary to hide your Trajan as he will get hunt down with priority and enjoy the synergies both of the commanders share. Cyrus the Great With Cyrus you also have a nice setup and punish every player hunting Trajan where you can punish really well as Cyrus will start dealing AoE damage as soon as getting attacked. The small downside is that Cyrus cares a lot about Archers so you miss out on some of the potentials here.. Constantine is also a pair to think about as he will buff all troop types, Hannibal Barca for the AoE debuff for a crazy buffing march. Alexander the Great with the bufferful protective buff are also options to consider.

Best Equipment Forge Order

In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Trajan. 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):

Karuak's War Drums

Horn of Fury

Concealed Dagger

Delanes Amulet

Ancient Stratagems

Call of the Loyal

✖ Remove Ads

Karuak’s War Drums are doing well with Trajan as they will grant extra rage to him and allies and contribute well to his role.Horn of Fury are also a very important legendary accessory with Trajan to make sure he fires off his active skill so all other marches will gain extra damage.

Best Builds For Trajan

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Trajan 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.Looking at Trajan realiticly, you should run him as the primary commander to get all his talent buffs going – and for me, there’s only one talent build that really makes sense.Basically everything in this talent build is working hand-in-hand with Trajan’s skills. You want to get Rejuvenate in the Support Tree first, this will boost 150 extra Rage everytime Trajan uses his primary skill and applies his buff. This will make his primary skill appear faster again, generating this extra rage again and so on.Then go to Strategix Prowess in the Leadership Tree, this will improve defense every time his active skill is used – and with Rejuvenate you already made sure that this is happening faster and faster so you will have that amazing 20% defense buff active a lot.And with Loose Formation in the Support Tree then you reduce all skill damage taken so you further reduce the skill damage you take by further taking skill damage. Then Emergency Protection will reduce that even further everytime you take skill damage.That’s a perfect setup to withstand in most brawls with Trajan and make his powerful apply to as many allies as it can.Attention! Running Trajan with a healing commander? Well, then you should swap the left side talents in the Leadership Tree (Armored to the Teeth) and invest them into the healing-based talents (Counterattack) in the Support Tree.

Conclusion

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