Wu Zetian Summary:

In this following guide, we will give you some overview of Wu Zetian skills, talent tree, and strategy in Rise of Kingdoms. Hopefully, this guide will help new players how to use Wu Zetian and how to maximize her strength in the game.

Wu Zetian is a legendary Commander from China that is only available for kingdoms over 140 days old. She is also obtained in Lost Kingdom Season 2. Since her set of skills is mainly focus on boosting stats while defending your city, she is considered the best garrison Commander in the game, no doubt about that.

To summon Wu Zetian, you will need 10 of Wu Zetian sculptures, which can obtain throughout events, the VIP shop, golden chests.

Wu Zetain Skills:

Mandate of Heaven
	Rage Requirement: 1000 Wu Zetian directly deals damage to a single target, and she also heals some of her army’s wounded troops.   Upgrade Preview: Direct Damage Factor: 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 / 1000 Healing Factor: 100 / 200 / 300 / 400 / 500

This ability deals a damage factor of 1000 toward a single target and also help Wu Zetian to heal her troops, which is quite useful to reduce the wounded troop when Wu Zetian serves as garrison Commander.

Lion Rider
	When Wu Zetian serves as garrison Commander, her troops’ attack damage increases and also gain bonus damage toward rallied armies.   Upgrade Preview: Damage Bonus: 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% / 10% Damage to Rallied Armies Increased: 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% / 10%

Lion Heart gives Wu Zetian’s troop 10% more attack damage and extra 10% towards rallied armies. In total, Wu Zetian gains 20% bonus damage against rallied armies, which is a decent bonus since rallied armies are usually very strong and can deal a huge amount of damage so you want to deal as much damage as you can.

Tears of Blood
	Wu Zetian’s troops gain bonus HP and defense. They also have 10% chance to silence the target for 2 seconds.   Upgrade Preview: Defense Bonus: 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% / 10% Troop Health: 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% / 10%

This is a very nice passive skill that can reduce the damage taken from the enemies and make the troops are a little bit tankier in the battle. And they also have a small chance to silence the enemy for 2 seconds, which can be troublesome for enemy nukers.

Legacy
	When Wu Zetian serves as a garrison Commander, she will take less damage from incoming active skill. Her troops have 50% chance to increase their defense for 3 seconds when they receive skill damage.   Upgrade Preview: Skill Damage Taken Reduction: 3% / 5% / 8% / 11% / 15% Defense Bonus: 5% / 8% / 11% / 15% / 20%

This is a very powerful passive skill that can help Wu Zetian and her troops last longer when she is defending your city.

Brightest Sky
	Wu Zetian’s troops have 20% more counterattack damage. Her troops’ normal attacks have a 10% chance to deal the damage factor of 500 to the attacker.

Brightest Sky is the passive skill that will help Wu Zetian to improve her fighting capabilities. Her troops’ counterattack damage gains 20%, her troops also have a small chance to deal 500 damage to the attacker with normal attacks, which is very useful because it increases the overall output damage of Wu Zetian.

Recommended Talent Build for Wu Zetain

Wu Zetian is the most effective garrison Commander in the game that can help you to defense your city. These following build will make the attacker regret when they decide to attack your city.

This is a standard garrison build. We invest in some very good nodes like Kings Guard and City Guardian in the Garrison branch. These nodes will help Wu Zetian improve her troops’ health and attack damage. We also want to improve her rage regeneration by taking Burning Blood and Hidden Wrath nodes. Since it is more of defensive build, nodes like Emergency Protection, Elixir, and Healing Herbs are very good to take.

If you want a more offensive build, you can use this above build:

Pairing Commanders for Wu Zetain

Constantine I: Constantine I and Wu Zetian are both solid defensive Commander that can easily deal with any nukers. Constantine has a very useful active skill that can reduce the attack damage as well as the taken damage. Besides, he has a passive skill that can heal wounded troops a lot every hour, which will reduce the amount of resource used for healing troops.

Constantine I should be the primary Commander.

Charles Martel: Charles can put up a shield that can absorb a huge amount of damage. In addition, the infantry units gain 20% more health and defense is a very good bonus. The 30% more counterattack damage will bring even more damage to Wu Zetian’s already strong countering strength. Charles Martel gives 10% more damage to watchtower that make this pair is a very powerful defensive force.

Charles Martel should be the primary Commander.

You can use Eulji Mundeok or Sun Tzu as an acceptable replacement if you don’t have Charles Martel yet.

Yi Seong-Gye: Yi Seong-Gye can be a very strong anti-nuker because of his strong active skill. He also has a passive skill that boosts 50% more damage to Wu Zetian’s active skill. He can restore rage fast that can help him maintain his active skill uptime. This combination can easily dish out heavy blows to the enemy.

Yi Seong-Gye should be the primary Commander.
