Optimal Talent Builds

Garrison Build: This build focuses on maximizing Artemisia’s defensive capabilities when serving as a garrison commander. Key talents include:

• Medicinal Supplies: Provides healing to her troops, offsetting the self-inflicted damage from her active skill.
• Venomous Sting: Increases active skill damage, enhancing her offensive output.

Open Field Build: Designed for open-field engagements, this build emphasizes damage output and survivability. Important talents are:

• Testudo Formation: Grants a chance to reduce all damage taken, increasing her resilience.
• Medicinal Supplies: Even with fewer points allocated, it helps mitigate self-inflicted damage.

Effective Commander Pairings

	Yi Seong-Gye (YSG): Combining Artemisia’s high damage with YSG’s area-of-effect capabilities creates a formidable pairing, especially in open-field battles.
	Ramesses II: This duo offers a balanced mix of offense and defense, with Ramesses providing healing and defense buffs to complement Artemisia’s skill set.
	Tomyris: Pairing with Tomyris can be effective in open-field battles, leveraging poison stacks and delaying enemy attacks.

Strategies for Maximizing Artemisia I’s Potential

• Garrison Defense: Artemisia excels as a garrison commander, particularly against strong rally leaders. Her skills reduce incoming damage and disarm enemies, making her a resilient defender.
• Open-Field Combat: In open-field scenarios, utilize her area-of-effect damage to target multiple enemies. Be mindful of her self-silence mechanic; pairing her with commanders who can mitigate or complement this effect can enhance her performance.
• Talent Optimization: Invest in talents that bolster her defense and healing to counteract self-inflicted damage. Prioritizing talents that enhance archer units’ performance will further amplify her effectiveness.

By understanding and strategically leveraging Artemisia I’s unique skill set and talents, commanders can harness her full potential to dominate both defensive and offensive engagements in Rise of Kingdoms.
