Keira in Rise of Kingdoms: Comprehensive Guide to Skills, Talent Builds, and Strategies

Participating in this event allows players to exchange earned rewards for her sculptures, gradually unlocking and enhancing her skills.

	Sun Tzu: Offers additional AoE damage and rage generation, complementing Keira’s skill set and enhancing overall damage output.
	Ramesses II: Provides debuffs to enemy defenses and has self-healing capabilities, increasing the durability and damage potential of archer units under their command.

Strategies for Maximizing Keira’s Potential

• Event Participation: Regularly engage in the “Ceroli Crisis” and “Ian’s Ballads” events to obtain Keira’s sculptures and fully upgrade her skills.
