Best Commander Pairings in Rise of Kingdoms

In Rise of Kingdoms, there are many commander pairings to choose from, and it can be tough to find a good combination with new commanders being added to the game regularly.

We’ve put together a list of the top 5 best commander pairings based on the current game meta. All of these pairings will be strong in open-field PVP battles, therefore if you want to improve your offense gameplay you’ve come to the right place. 

This list might change with new commanders, so check back regularly for updates! View our commander tier list to see how each commander ranks individually.

Bai Qi – Lui Che

Bai Qi and Lui Che is arguably the strongest infantry march in Rise of Kingdoms at the moment. Smite damage is the current meta, and both of these commanders specialise in that. Bai Qi especially, comes with the new smite talent tree dealing huge amounts of smite damage.

Lui Che still proves to be strong despite being in the game for a matter of months now, so there is not really any better infantry pairing than these two.

Huo Qubing – Arthur Pendragon

For cavalry players, Huo Qubing and Arthur Pendragon are currently the best pairing. Huo Qubing has a considerably large skill bonus and paired the AOE damage from Arthur’s Sword in the Stone skill, this makes a great combination.

Zhuge Liang – Hermann Prime

If you’re aiming for a solo archer march or looking for the top archer march in the game, the best pairing is Zhuge Liang and Hermann Prime.

Their synergy is exceptional, allowing you to leverage double AOE damage with a combined skill damage of up to 40%. This combination offers a great chance to debuff enemy marches and boost attack, defense, health, and march speed. It provides the most complete and effective kit among all archer marches.

There haven’t been any decent archer commander releases for a while so this pairing is still the best.

Alexander Nevsky – Joan of Arc Prime

Alexander Nevsky and Joan of Arc Pairing.

Alexander Nevsky and Joan of Arc Prime form the ideal march for cavalry players looking for a second march.

The damage potential of this pairing is phenomenal. Alexander Nevsky’s active skill inflicts 2300 damage, and an additional 25% skill damage from his fourth skill, Knight of Iron. When combined with Joan of Arc Prime, you have extra damage-dealing buffs making this an extremely hard march to beat. If you want to perform well in big fights, this pairing is essential. 

Ragnar Lodbrok Prime – Scipio Prime

With Guan Yu starting to become obsolete, Ragnar Lodbrok Prime is the new best pairing for Scipio Prime. The AoE damage of Ragnar and Scipio, make them a fantastic pair for clearing crowded battlefields, especially useful in large team fights.
