Pairing Commander
Wu Zetian is one of the strongest garrison defenders in Rise of Kingdoms. One of her main advantages is that she can easily deal with the rally armies, which is the main thing that Yi Sun-Sin is lacking of. Together they can be a perfect combo.
She is similar to Wu Zetian, except one thing that she has an ability that can deal with multiple targets. She is the perfect choice if you want to eliminate the enemy quickly.
