Best Attributes for Golden Roc
Regenerating your Golden Roc is the key to improving its attributes, but it comes with an element of chance. Each regeneration can alter its skills and even its rarity, making it impossible to control the exact outcome.
While there are 6 possible attributes overall, the following 3 are the most valuable to look out for when building the Golden Roc.
Agility should be the most important attribute to look out for. This is what will scale the Golden Roc’s core skill, Exuberance.
Strength is the next best attribute you will want, as this is responsible for most of the damage dealing skills the Golden Roc will need.
And finally, Luck is the third attribute priority. If you have good agility and strength rolls already, this isn’t as important but it will help with healing and rage skills.
Best Skills for Golden Roc
For Agility skills, prioritise Exuberance as this is the main skill that accumulates rage speed. Angry Roar is another option for better crit rate.
For Strength-based skills, Fatal Bite and Tooth and Claw offer some of the highest damage rates available. Fierce Attack is especially effective on the Golden Roc, as it grants bonus damage whenever a deputy casts a Rage skill, and thanks to the Roc’s fast rage regeneration, this effect triggers frequently, making it very effective.
Finally, for Luck-based skills, your first priority should be Intense Exuberance, which is designed to bolster the standard Exuberance skill. You’ll also want to grab Intense Fierce Attack, as it boosts the trigger chance of the regular Fierce Attack skill. Both of these can be unlocked by capturing the Golden Roc, meaning you can save your exchange coins for other upgrades later on.
Best Hero Pairings for Golden Roc
The Golden Roc works with most cavalry heroes but certain ones will benefit more than others. Bakshi and Emrys are the best picks for maximizing damage and rage regeneration.

Final Tips
Roll for agility as a priority to get the best out of the Exuberance skill.
Don’t aim for the perfect roll straight away. Look for high agility and as many skill slots as possible.
Save exchange coins for important skill upgrades such as Exuberance.
Try and capture a Golden Roc that already comes with Exuberance. This will save your exchange coins. Capturing extra ones with this skill will reduce the need to spend additional exchange coins.
Conclusion
With the right mix of attributes, skills, and hero pairings, the Golden Roc can make a big impact on your cavalry marches. Build it properly, and you’ll see a noticeable boost in damage, rage regeneration, and merits earned in Call of Dragons.
