Prioritizing talents that boost normal attack damage, march speed, and cavalry stats will optimize Attila’s performance in various combat situations.

Strategies for Maximizing Attila’s Potential

• Cavalry Composition: Ensure armies led by Attila consist solely of cavalry units to fully benefit from his skills and talents.
• Target Selection: Focus on engaging enemy commanders who rely heavily on skill damage, as Attila’s abilities reduce incoming skill damage and capitalize on prolonged fights.
• Rally Leadership: Utilize Attila as a primary commander for leading rallies against enemy structures, leveraging his conquering talents and debuffing skills to dismantle fortified positions effectively.
