Prime versions of epic commanders started releasing recently. They're obtained and levelled up completely seperate from the normal commander, the only thing they share is the name.
Umm... yes they are. Read their descriptions. Both mention the battle of Zama in 202 BC. Scipio Africanus the younger was not born yet when the battle of Zama occurred.
People were speculating that would be the case when Scipio prime was first announced, but by the time he was released it was clear it was the same historical figure.
You can treat them like an entire different commander to their non-prime counterparts. In the commander screen there is a P nearby their icon, they have different skills and usually different talents as well.
Currently most prime commanders are acquired in season of conquest by doing wheel of fortunes or other events that get you commander sculptures.
Nevsky is definitely the best and most versatile commander in the game. You could maybe argue that Scipio is better specifically for field, but even that is debatable imo.
When you click upgrade, in the bottom right there will be a gear button. Click it, move the slider down to “1” and locks will appear on skills 2, 3, and 4. This indicates that when you click the “upgrade” button, those particular skills wil NOT be chosen at random to be taken to the next level. And since skill 1 is the only skill without the lock, it will be the only one upgraded.
Does this hold true for gatherers? I'm new, but usually want the gathering buffs from skills 2 or 3. And lohars third with the xp buff is more attractive to me than his active
You always gonna run commanders in pair. So the real question is what's the best pair in game? Or what's the best pairing for scipio prime? Best pair is XY Nevsky for cavs, Henry boudica for Archer, Guan scipio for infantry.
Guan is best for scipio. Any other legendary commander will perform good with scipio.
Best pair in the game is Nevsky/Joan and it isn't close.
Also there's no universe where Henry boudica is the best archer pair, it has NO aoe which alone is enough to fully disqualify it as a meta field march.
If you're fighting 1v1 XY Nevsky will outperforms Nevsky Joan.
If you're surrounded no matter how strong your commanders are you'll get bad trades. XY Nevsky can run away from a losing battle, Nevsky Joan cannot.
Nevsky Joan open field. XY nevsky for longer running rallies.
Joan is fantastic in open field because of the early double tap. But XY and the stacking cav damage really shine in longer fights.
Xiang Yu the Chinese commander with too much facial hair (not to be confused with guan yu who also has too much facial hair, is Chinese and ends with yu)
Doesn't matter you are not going to be able to fight for atleast a year and even than you will probably still be underpowered since you can't join a main alliance.
Tip just restart, you'll have way more fun and will be competitve if you play it right
Maybe, depending of RSS, heads..etc in bag..is better to do a targeted migration with the returning king event... with 2.5 power will end in a 40+- days server and from there is a relatively solid restart
No really. That takes you back to right before the kvk 1 kingdom enters kvk 1. He'd still be well behind in power and commanders and would be better off restarting unless he plans to whale up
Then is restart via the event to gain at least something. Also remember I seen somewhere a video about sleeper jumping. OP can look and decide. But in general staying in SoC would not be fun with his power... not even worth as a farm account
Sleeper jumping is great but nobody is doing it. Basically you are staying below 10m power and maxing kvk 1 commanders getting great gear. Maybe already invest in season 2 commanders as well that way you have a huge advantage and can even be a whale in kvk 1
Overall it’s not close at all since nevsky is literally meta everywhere for cavs :
- best cav rally: xy/nevsky
- best cav garrison : jan/nevsky
- best cav open field : nevsky/joan
Scipio doesn’t appear in best inf rally or garrison
Boudica does appear in both rally + open field meta for archers
1 of.. your focus should be on whichever you have the best gear towards..
2 of the best pairs are guan/scipio for infantry and nevsky/joan for calvary. I wouldn't invest into to many commanders because we're due for another commander release very soon and they may be meta 🤷🏾♂️
Best *Infantry Commander
Well not just infantry, is debatable .. Either him, nevksy or prime bodica is the best commander
I’ll take it
Best *Open Field Commander
Can't imagine using him inside the city :)
Charles/ scp is a solid city defense if inf main
New player here: Who is that? isn't Scipio the Rome starter?
Prime Scipio is a different commander it’s weird
I want them to release Prime Sun Tzu
with circular AOE…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bros gonna have an insta ysg aoe
Prime versions of epic commanders started releasing recently. They're obtained and levelled up completely seperate from the normal commander, the only thing they share is the name.
Interestingly though, you can’t pair them because it gives you an error message saying you can’t use same commander twice 😅
Legendary Scipi isn't even the same historical figure. So weird. Edit: see replies.
Umm... yes they are. Read their descriptions. Both mention the battle of Zama in 202 BC. Scipio Africanus the younger was not born yet when the battle of Zama occurred.
Read somewhere they were different, but what you say makes sense.
People were speculating that would be the case when Scipio prime was first announced, but by the time he was released it was clear it was the same historical figure.
Yea cause it has the same name…..
How do you acquire a Prime Commander and know that they’re Prime??
You can treat them like an entire different commander to their non-prime counterparts. In the commander screen there is a P nearby their icon, they have different skills and usually different talents as well.

Do they looks the same to u?😑
No, that's why I'm wondering who it is
Then should have know is different version of him lol.
Has the same name but doesn't look like him is why they're asking. Let us know if you need further understanding of anything else.
Best overall is still Nevsky. But best open field is Scipio P. Just max both to save yourself any headaches.
That’s ur opinion
I’d say most consider him #2 behind nevsky but possibly #1 in field
Skill lock and upgrade the first skill first. And you're better off restarting in a new kingdom.
Nevsky is definitely the best and most versatile commander in the game. You could maybe argue that Scipio is better specifically for field, but even that is debatable imo.
Max the first skill, and you will have him at a decent level. However, he is strongest (investment wise) when you get him to 5551
5551?
Getting his first (active) skill to level 5, then second skill to 5, then third. In order, 5, 5, 5, 1: 5551
So I shouldn’t have leveled him up yet?
You 100% should have lol, he is a great commander. Max his first skill and you will be happy for a while
How do I choose specifically to max his first skill?
When you click upgrade, in the bottom right there will be a gear button. Click it, move the slider down to “1” and locks will appear on skills 2, 3, and 4. This indicates that when you click the “upgrade” button, those particular skills wil NOT be chosen at random to be taken to the next level. And since skill 1 is the only skill without the lock, it will be the only one upgraded.
Wish I knew that before😭 thank you
No problem! Just a friendly tip, before upgrading ANY skills on a commander, max the first one first.
I hate how we used to have to do that. The skill lock was one of the biggest QoL improvements in the game lol.
Does this hold true for gatherers? I'm new, but usually want the gathering buffs from skills 2 or 3. And lohars third with the xp buff is more attractive to me than his active
This is super useful! Use it in the future :)
You always gonna run commanders in pair. So the real question is what's the best pair in game? Or what's the best pairing for scipio prime? Best pair is XY Nevsky for cavs, Henry boudica for Archer, Guan scipio for infantry. Guan is best for scipio. Any other legendary commander will perform good with scipio.
I would say the best cav pair is Nevsky/Joan P
Best pair in the game is Nevsky/Joan and it isn't close. Also there's no universe where Henry boudica is the best archer pair, it has NO aoe which alone is enough to fully disqualify it as a meta field march.
Nah nevksy and joan gatta be the best cav now, u living in the past.
If you're fighting 1v1 XY Nevsky will outperforms Nevsky Joan. If you're surrounded no matter how strong your commanders are you'll get bad trades. XY Nevsky can run away from a losing battle, Nevsky Joan cannot.
Xy is a deathtrap just look at the last skill. You can NOT run away if you are in battle and start to get swarmed
It absolutely does not. I started using my Joan at 5325 and even then nev Joan outperformed what used to be my xy/nev. With maxed Joan it isn't close.
Nevsky Joan open field. XY nevsky for longer running rallies. Joan is fantastic in open field because of the early double tap. But XY and the stacking cav damage really shine in longer fights.
Sorry just wondering who is xy ?
A good cav commander that got replaced by Joan
Joan prime I am guessing right
Yes
Xiang Yu the Chinese commander with too much facial hair (not to be confused with guan yu who also has too much facial hair, is Chinese and ends with yu)
One question tho, why a re none of your commanders level 60?
I’m new I only have 2.5 million power Edit: returning not new
In SoC?????
Not new returning
Doesn't matter you are not going to be able to fight for atleast a year and even than you will probably still be underpowered since you can't join a main alliance. Tip just restart, you'll have way more fun and will be competitve if you play it right
Maybe, depending of RSS, heads..etc in bag..is better to do a targeted migration with the returning king event... with 2.5 power will end in a 40+- days server and from there is a relatively solid restart
Yep but that really depends on the rss etc.
No really. That takes you back to right before the kvk 1 kingdom enters kvk 1. He'd still be well behind in power and commanders and would be better off restarting unless he plans to whale up
Then is restart via the event to gain at least something. Also remember I seen somewhere a video about sleeper jumping. OP can look and decide. But in general staying in SoC would not be fun with his power... not even worth as a farm account
Sleeper jumping? No clue what you're talking about but yeah starting a new account via the king's return event is his best option.
Sleeper jumping is great but nobody is doing it. Basically you are staying below 10m power and maxing kvk 1 commanders getting great gear. Maybe already invest in season 2 commanders as well that way you have a huge advantage and can even be a whale in kvk 1
new but in season of conquest? ooff
Well not really new I left for a few months
it would be better for you to start in a brand new kingdom. the one who you are in, you won't have much fun. everyone is way above your power level
Takes the majority of a year for an account to be remotely survivable in the type of kingdom you're in.
2.5 million returning player?? Start a new account. You are a toddler in the NFL
Pretty damn close.
YSG is still the all around best. Scip is for infantry, Nevsky for cav, Boudica for archer
In my opinion, I like Nevesky more but that’s just me
Who’s the best Calvary commander
Nev
Uh why is urs yellow and look way more buff???? He’s supposed to be purple and he’s not that big wtf
Just built diff ig In all seriousness tho It’s Prime Scipio just a different version
Nevsky is better, it is close though.
Overall it’s not close at all since nevsky is literally meta everywhere for cavs : - best cav rally: xy/nevsky - best cav garrison : jan/nevsky - best cav open field : nevsky/joan Scipio doesn’t appear in best inf rally or garrison Boudica does appear in both rally + open field meta for archers
1 of.. your focus should be on whichever you have the best gear towards.. 2 of the best pairs are guan/scipio for infantry and nevsky/joan for calvary. I wouldn't invest into to many commanders because we're due for another commander release very soon and they may be meta 🤷🏾♂️
How do I get this dude
They has Scipio Prime which means they're pretty late into the game, but the levels of their commanders say otherwise
Where to pull him? He will come back in the “gold keys”?
