Top Builds for Every Hero in Age of Empires Mobile

Age of Empires Mobile offers a fun and new way to experience MMOs, where you can recruit your favorite personalities from across history, and have them command your army. But, with over 30 different legendary hero choices, it can be quite confusing on which ones to choose, and how to properly build them. So, to help you out, we’ve created this complete guide on building and using every hero in Age of Empires Mobile.

Best Build For Every Hero In Age of Empires

Every hero in Age of Empires Mobile falls into one of three specializations: Warrior, Tactician, or Marshal. Based on this specialization, you get a different talent page, and you also need to choose different hero skills. So, here’s the recommended build for every specialization:

• Warriors: These heroes mostly deal Might damage, so increasing their Might damage and Skill damage should be your priority. Apart from that, focus on damage reduction to get some additional defense and Normal attack increase.
• Tacticians: Unlike warriors, heroes with Tactician specialization are either gathering heroes or primarily inflict debuffs. For your gathering heroes, like Diao Chan, prioritize Gathering speed and amount bonuses. For offensive heroes, get Strategy and Skill damage increase.
• Marshal: Finally, Marshal heroes are a mix of both the above. Depending on what role you’re using them for, you should either get Might or Siege stats and if you’ve got leftover talent points, put them in Armour.

While the above gives you a general idea of how to build your heroes, every hero still requires a bit of tweaking to get the most value. So, I’ve compiled a complete build for every hero based on their type.
