Optimal Talent Builds

Mehmed II’s talent builds can be tailored to focus on city conquering or open-field battles:

City Conquering Build

Prioritize the Conquering and Skill talent trees to maximize damage against enemy cities. Key talents include “Moment of Triumph” for increased damage when troops are above 90% strength and “Meteor Shower” for a chance to boost all damage dealt.

Open-Field Build

Focus on the Skill and Leadership talent trees to enhance rage regeneration and skill damage. Talents like “Rejuvenate” provide instant rage restoration, while “Strategic Prowess” increases troop defense after using a skill.

Effective Commander Pairings

Mehmed II pairs well with various commanders to amplify his strengths:

	Frederick I: Enhances city assault capabilities with powerful skills focused on conquering.
	Yi Seong-Gye (YSG): Combines high skill damage and area-of-effect (AoE) attacks, making them a formidable duo in open-field engagements.
	Guan Yu: Offers exceptional AoE damage and pairs well for both city assaults and open-field battles.

Strategies for Maximizing Mehmed II’s Potential

• Versatility in Troop Composition: Mehmed II does not favor a specific troop type, allowing flexibility in army composition based on available units and strategic needs.
• Utilize AoE Damage: Leverage his “Ottoman Cannons” skill to target multiple enemies, making him invaluable in group battles and city assaults.
• Enhance Rage Generation: Invest in talents and pairings that boost rage regeneration, enabling more frequent use of his powerful active skill.
• Strategic Deployment: Deploy Mehmed II in scenarios where his skills can be maximized, such as leading rallies against cities or participating in large-scale open-field skirmishes.

By understanding and implementing these strategies, governors can fully harness Mehmed II’s capabilities, making him a cornerstone of both offensive and defensive operations in Rise of Kingdoms.
