Recommended Talent Builds for YSG
Garrison build:
This talent build is focused on playing Yi Seong-Gye as your main garrison Commander. It also focuses on rage regeneration that allows him to maintain his active skill uptime. In addition, it will turn him to a very powerful defender as well as nuker that will cause enemies lots of trouble when they want to attack your city. There are some nice defensive nodes that will improve his overall stats.
PvP build:
This build is mainly focused on PvP, which is his strongest area in the game. Because of his Destiny passive skill, we want to invest in nodes that benefit him and his partner like Venomous Sting, and All for One. Since it is the PvP build, the rage restoration is one of the most important things so these nodes like Feral Nature, Rejuvenate, Razor Sharp, and Burning Blood is a must.
YSG Pairing Commanders
Alexander the Great: This combination will be very effective in the battle because they are both strong in defensive and offensive sides. Alexander will provide tons of shield while Yi Seong-Gye is killing everything around him.
Yi Seong-Gye should be the primary Commander.
Rameses II: He is a very good legendary Commander to pair with. They both will gain 50% more damage to their active skill, which means that Rameses II can deal up to 3000 damage over 2 seconds. A huge amount of damage to a single target. They will prove to each other bonus attack, defense, and march speed.
Rameses II should be the primary Commander.
You can use Kusunoki Masashige or Herman if you don’t own Rameses II yet.
