Optimal Talent Builds

Focusing on the Cavalry and Support talent trees maximizes Joan’s effectiveness:

• Cavalry Tree: Prioritize talents that enhance cavalry attack, defense, and health to bolster her troops’ durability and damage output.
• Support Tree: Invest in talents that accelerate rage generation and reduce skill damage taken, enabling more frequent use of her powerful active skill and improving survivability.

For detailed talent configurations, refer to specialized guides or community recommendations.

Effective Commander Pairings

To fully leverage Joan’s capabilities, pair her with commanders who complement her strengths:

	Alexander Nevsky: Combining Joan’s buffs with Nevsky’s formidable skill damage creates a potent force in open-field battles.
	Xiang Yu: This pairing offers high burst damage, with Xiang Yu’s debuffs amplifying the damage output of both commanders.
	Honda Tadakatsu: Provides additional durability and skill damage, enhancing Joan’s effectiveness in prolonged engagements.

When pairing, consider using Joan as the primary commander to utilize her talent builds fully, unless the secondary commander’s talents offer superior synergy.

Strategies for Maximizing Joan of Arc Prime’s Potential

• Full Cavalry Composition: Joan’s skills are tailored for cavalry units; deploying a full cavalry army ensures maximum benefit from her abilities.
• Equipment Optimization: Equip Joan with gear that enhances cavalry stats, focusing on items that boost attack, defense, and health. Prioritize forging equipment that complements her role and the current state of your army.
• Positioning in Battle: Utilize Joan’s mobility to engage effectively in open-field battles. Her enhanced march speed allows for strategic positioning, enabling swift attacks and retreats as needed.
• Skill Timing: Coordinate the activation of Joan’s skills with those of her pairing commander to maximize damage output and buffs. Proper timing can turn the tide of battle in your favor.

By thoughtfully building Joan of Arc Prime and employing strategic pairings and tactics, governors can harness her full potential to dominate the battlefield in Rise of Kingdoms.
