	Minamoto no Yoshitsune: Provides strong single-target damage and debuffs, aligning well with Khan’s nuking focus.
	Takeda Shingen: Enhances cavalry durability and offers buffs that synergize with Khan’s offensive capabilities.
	Saladin: Adds survivability and debuffs to enemy healing, useful in prolonged engagements.
	For free-to-play players, Baibars is a viable option, offering area damage and march speed reduction to enemies.

Strategies for Maximizing Genghis Khan’s Potential

• Maintain High Troop Count: To leverage the “Nomadic Empire” skill, keep Genghis Khan’s army above 70% strength by frequently refreshing troops during extended battles.
• Utilize Hit-and-Run Tactics: Given his high damage output and mobility, employ hit-and-run strategies to strike enemies swiftly and retreat before sustaining significant damage.
• Monitor Rage Management: Capitalize on talents and pairings that boost rage regeneration, ensuring the “Chosen One” skill is activated as frequently as possible.
• Avoid Prolonged Engagements: While potent offensively, Genghis Khan’s armies can be vulnerable in extended fights. Engage decisively and withdraw to prevent unnecessary losses.

By meticulously building Genghis Khan’s talents, selecting optimal pairings, and employing strategic battlefield tactics, commanders can unleash his full potential, making him a formidable force in “Rise of Kingdoms.”
