Pairing Commanders for Harald Sigurdsson
Guan Yu: He is one of the best infantry Commanders and nukers in the game. His active skill can deal 2,000 damage up to 3 targets. Besides, he has passive skills that can further boost the overall damage output and a healing skill that Harald lacks. Not to mention they both deal additional damage toward the enemy’s garrison. Together they can be a deadly force on the battlefield that can easily wipe out the enemy.
Alexander the Great: Alexander is definitely the best choice if you want to put some more defense layers. His shield can absorb a massive amount of damage to both him and his nearby allies. They can both cover each other and can turn their weaknesses into strength against the enemies.
Leonidas: He is an excellent Commander who excels at both defense and offense. He can give Harald lots of resistance and damage that can easily dish out the enemy on the battlefield.
