Recommended Pairing Commander for Leonidas I

Guan Yu

Guan Yu: No doubt that Guan Yu is one of the strongest damage dealers in the game, and he is a perfect match for Leonidas I. That is mostly because Guan Yu has an active skill that can silence 3 targets as well as dealing a huge blow to them. This silence will help Leonidas and him deal 50% more damage toward their enemies. This is a perfect and deadly combination that many players don’t want to face them in the battle.

Guan Yu should be the primary Commander.

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great: Alexander is the strongest defensive Commander in the game. He can provide the shield to protect him and his partner as well as dealing tons of damage to the enemy. Together, Leonidas and Alexander can hardly be beaten on the battlefield.

Alexander should be the secondary Commander.
