It is very effective when the enemy Commander has the ability to gain bonus damage while you are slowed.

Recommended Roles for Cao Cao
Cao Cao is a strong Commander that should be in the primary role. He can serve as the secondary role when there is a strong nuker that pairs with him.
Cao Cao Pairing Commanders
Genghis Khan:
- Genghis Khan is one of the most powerful single-target nukers in the game, and he can pair well with Cao Cao. Since both of them can deal massive damage to a single target, and both are specialized in the cavalry.
- Genghis Khan works best as a primary Commander because his set of skills is all about dealing damage, and he also has a chance to use his active skill for free. Cao Cao will also benefit from Khan’s damage bonus. In addition, his healing can reduce the wounded units during the battle.
Attila:
- Thank to Attila skills, this combination is a very powerful force that can deal lots of damage with normal attack and counter-attack. It also can neutralize the enemy’s combat capabilities, which can easily help to dominate the enemy in the battle.
