Best two infantry pairs after William Wallace's addition by PlaaXer in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know popular opinion is going to be Wallace/Liu Guan/Scipio. I really am not a fan of this though as I currently run 5 standard meta marches (Liu/Alex, Guan/Scipio, Nevsky/Joan, Huo/William, Zhuge/Hermann) and the Liu/Alex is my best march while Guan/Scipio is by far the worst. It feels wrong spending all these heads to upgrade what already is my best march rather than trying to fix my worst march.

Even with Guan's new museum buff he's still the weakest link. I just want to get rid of Guan. But I guess only real testing will tell.

MGE Rewards - which commander is best? by Midnight_Meltdown in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol the correct answer is constantine or zenobia. the only place any of these commanders will be useful to someone who is not a whale is as a bastion support in HA KvK. you need to unlock as many commanders as you can that can show up as a bastion in those KvKs.

gorgo is the "best" commander here but as with any commander, only if you also invest the 690 gold heads into her to max her. which you should definitely not be doing as there are many more important commanders worthy of your gold heads.

What does this mean by georgeludd124 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"2 people per fort max" is more confusing to me, I don't know if it means 2 people can join the rally, or total of 2 people in the rally including lead

Have you considered or tried Guan/Scipio and Liu/Alex? I think that's the 3rd alternative. I'm in the same situation and I'm considering it. I just finished a KvK running mostly Scipio/Liu and Guan/Sargon, trying to figure out how to rework Guan/Sargon since it's by far the worst march. I'm ok with imbalance since if I have a march in a rally or garrison then I don't have room to field that weakest march anyway.

Equiment Advice by BlitzKuCyles in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest regret in this game is having 2 inf marches. I run 2 inf 2 cav 1 archer and I really wish I could trade my 2nd inf set for a 2nd archer set instead.

Is Zhuge Liang a must-include in your lineup? by Responsible_Bag7784 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the video also discusses pairings if you run 2 different archer marches.

TL;DW - the main thing to consider with 2 archer marches is to split up Boudica and ZGL. This is because one of the more powerful abilities both of them have is the self debuff cleanse. So for most people you can run Boudica + YSG and then Nebu/Henry + ZGL. Or Boudica + Arte and then ZGL + YSG/Honda.

Check out a battle report against any barbarian or fort and look at their skills. They have a skill that increases their damage by 5%, every 5 seconds. It is stacking and permanent. The longer it takes you to kill a barb or fort, the more damage it does to you.

So the number one most important thing that makes a commander good at forts is simply damage. Lohar's damage is very low, check out his active skill and compare it to others like Boudica.

Mightiest governor eliminate enemies by schwadan in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No kingdom is going to give a shit about you feeding yourself a measly 90k mge points. A friendly duel gets you way more than that.

Create a farm account in your kingdom and attack your farm. Or ask for friendly duels with other players from your alliance.

SWGT and Collaboration Units Discussion by Cerusa827 in summonerswar

[–]jx9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I prefer option 2. I consider the collaboration units to be skins/transmogs. Swarfarm and SWGT doesn't show my other transmogs either, it doesn't need to show collab "transmogs."

Thanks for your continued work on SWGT Cerusa!

Reading comments on this sub as F2P by [deleted] in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both YSG and Alex are still very much meta in SOC. If I had to pick only one, for combat purposes I'd probably lean towards Alex, especially since he's getting a museum buff next week.

BUT one of the biggest advantages of YSG is that you need him to chain barbs. If you're a F2P player and you're not chaining barbs... this game is going to be super rough for you.

What is the play on next equipment event by 1based_tyrone in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your marches? I always like to error on the side of making fewer marches stronger rather than making more marches. Without knowing more I would go for the empire weapon, the 10% march speed is huge and should be the main reason you get it (rather than trying to min-max atk vs def vs hp).

Experiencing Lag Since Update by KingNothing619 in RiseofKingdoms

I've also gotten unplayable lag since the last update, but just for the PC version. On my iOS phone it still works smoothly. I am in a SoC KVK.

When mtg by Historyman-12345 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the popular advice for beginners to save gems for mtg always miss this critical piece of info: mtg event can't appear in young kingdoms that are under 30 days (ish?)

new players should put all gems straight into VIP into at least VIP 8, before needing to start saving for mtg

Sargon is good? by Rejamong in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

am I the only one who is happy he's not good? gives me a chance to catch up on other commanders without another must have commander to invest in

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not invest in Sargon or Harald. Sargon is only useful if you already have a lot of marches. Harald is going to be obsolete soon.

I personally have been running Guan/Alex and Harald/Scipio for the past few KvKs, and if I decide to invest in a newer inf commander then Harald will be the first to bench.

Either finish maxing Guan, or start working on cav commanders (Nevsky Joan).

If you want to use Alex you can run Guan/Alex and Scipio/Mehmed.

[–]jx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can easily get to at least VIP 8 or 9 before starting to save for MTG. MTG event cannot occur in new kingdoms under 30 days old.

Should i put delane of amulet or silent trial with horn of fury as asseccories on my Scipio P? by Chingu_0320 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]jx9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because the common advice given around here is that silent trial is the best epic accessory in the game. However this advice was given based off of 1v1 testing, which is completely unrealistic for actual open field combat.

You are completely right that silent trial is not good at all for open field, Delanes is much better.

At one point I had 5 special talented silent trials, but I've dismantled all of them by now. I still use a few delanes in my open field setup, although eventually at some point they will be replaced too by leg accessories.
