Best Troops

YSS works best with all troop types and actually his expertise skill wants you to use at least two different troops types (which is the case when defending).

Theodora is one of the two commanders that make sense pairing along YSS. She has incredible anti-swarm abilities and deals damage to multiple targets at once so they work really well together. Wu Zetian deals well with rally armies and along YSS they will make a great defensive team.

Best Equipment Forge Order

In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Yi Sun-Sin (YSS). 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

Horn of Fury

Vengeance

concealed Dagger

Delanes Amulet

Ancient Stratagems

Call of the Loyal

Ring of Doom helps YSS deal more damage and it also applies to counterattack damage and all other damage and is a great legendary accessory to use.Horn of Fury for normal situations will work best as you will generate more rage and let him cycle through his active skill faster, when you think you get swarmed use Vengeance instead.

Best Builds For Yi Sun-Sin (YSS)

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Yi Sun-Sin (YSS) 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, in my opinion, the best talent build to use with YSS as the primary commander for defending structures. As you don’t want to use YSS as the primary commander unless you have him upgraded fairly well, there’s no real recommended order here as all talents will add damage reduction, more damage when defeding or increasing stats and counterattack damage.

Conclusion

I hope this guide for building Yi Sun-Sin (YSS) helped you investing without wasting much time and resources.
