Recommended Talent Build for Trajan
Open-Field Talent Tree Build
This is definitely the best talent tree build for Trajan since it focuses on improving his fighting capability on the battlefield. The best role for him is a secondary Commander since he doesn’t have many powerful offensive skills. However, his ability in supporting is quite exceptional when it comes to open-field battles.
Pairing Commanders for Trajan
Alexander is one of the best open-field Commanders in the game. His strong resistance and constant improvisation make him a great leader. Together Alexander and Trajan can be an undefeatable force on the battlefield.
He is a powerful infantry Commander who has lots of solid defense and buff toward his troops. He also has the largest healing skill in the game although the cooldown is quite long. Constantine I may not as strong as Alexander but he is still a great partner for Trajan.
He is a strong conqueror that can command many types of units. Not to mention the bonus troops’ capacity and the ability to fight outside of Alliance territory that they both have. Together they can be a fearful force in the battle.
