Archer’s Honor

Active

Deals massive damage to a single target (Damage Factor 1500, 750 if this commander is serving as a secondary commander). Once used, it will reduce the rage of Edward’s troops by 300 (cannot drop below 0 rage).

Upgrades:

  • Direct Damage Factor: 1500/1700/1900/2200/2500
  • Damage Factor (When Secondary Commander) 750/850/950/1100

The active skill has a high damage factor, so it’s best to use Edward as a primary commander to maximize his high damage factor.

If he is used as a secondary commander, the damage factor is reduced by a lot.

What is unique about Edward is his high rage cost to activate his active skill with high damage factor as a primary commander and he will reduce his own rage of 300 per skill cast.

Upgrades

  • Archer Health Bonus: 10%/15%/20%/25%/30%
  • Archer March Speed Bonus: 10%/15%/20%/25%/30%

Crecy’s Campaign

Passive

When the army led by this commander contains only archer units, increases skill damage by 5% and increases damage dealt to Infantry units by archer units by 1%.

Upgrades

  • Skill Damage Bonus: 5%/10%/15%/20%/25%
  • Damage To Infantry Units Increased By 1%/2%/3%/4%/5%

So make sure you have only archer units, no mix troops in here to make the most of him. You need to, also, focus on the Archer path in the talent tree to boost the Archers furthermore.

Initially, Archers are already stronger than Infantry. Here, you will get even more power against the most used type of troops, the Infantry.

When army led by this commander is at 70% strength or higher, increases attack of archer units by 15% and decreases defense by 10%.

Upgrades:

  • Attack Bonus: 15%/20%/25%/30%/40%

The way you want to play with Edward of Woodstock is not going to go too deep down to the enemy territories.

If you want to maximize this skill, you want to always have your army at 70%+ of HP percent.

A trick for you to use is to go is in and out of the city or the flag to refresh the army health bar. This way you will always have the HP staying above 70%.

SkillDescription

All or Nothing

Expertise

This is an outstanding skill but it is also a bit tricky, depending on the commanders you want to couple with Edward. You can earn tons of buffs If your secondary commander is great when having active skill gets casted frequently.

Edward of Woodstock’s Talent Trees

Open Field Build

Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (14)

Edward in open field has great skills and talents to fight in any battle. He is a commander that will not be easy to maximize if our player form is F2P, his main role makes him a leader and we must assign him another commander at his height (another Legendary archer commander) as secondary, pairing him with an epic commander will be useful but it will not be as effective.

“Archer’s Honor” his active skill causes massive single target damage that is one of the most dominant in the game, we can even say that Edward easily managed to disintegrate enemy armies thanks to this unique damage skill. “Vengeful Crusade” his passive skill is ideal for open field, it increases the damage of all his archer units including their march speed, both by 30%, it really is a tremendous skill in open field for a commander with these characteristics.

Edward as archer leader, will be the worst nightmare for any infantry army, “Crecy’s Campaign” one of his passive abilities that increases Edward’s damage per skill and in turn makes each of the bows under his command infringe 5% more than damage to infantry.

When taking him as the leader of our army in open field, we must be clear that it will depend on some specific talents, talents that will establish him as an undisputed leader of amazing power, for this the main talents in this build will be the following:

Versatility Talents

  • This time we will not use any of the talents of “Versatility”

Skill Talents

  • Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (15) Heraldic Shield: Reduces skill damage taken by 6%. Any damage reduction we have will be good for our battles, it will make us much more resistant.
  • Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (16) Burning Blood: Normal attacks grant an additional 9 rage. By focusing on our damage per skill, this talent will regenerate our rage much faster to reuse our active skill.
  • Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (17) Tactical Mastery: Increases active skill damage by 3%. Important for our damage skill increase.
  • Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (18) All for One: After the primary commander uses a skill, active skill damage of the secondary commander is increased by 6%. Any secondary commander with Edward will have an extra percentage of damage skill, this talent is great, it increases the damage of our army in general.

  • Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (20) Clarity: After using an active skill, increases skill damage by 6% for the next 6 seconds. Edward has an active skill that requires a lot of rage thanks to its massive damage, however, this talent will be ideal because before restarting the buff that guarantees us, he will have time to launch “Archer’s Honor” again this time with 6% extra damage..
  • Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (21) Rejuvenate: Instantly restores 60 rage whenever a skill is used. Important talent for the reuse of our active skill and take advantage of the talent “Clarity” safely.

Archer Talents

  • Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (23)Arrows Nocked: When the army led by this commander has been reduced to 50% strength, increases all attack troops by 9%. “Limoges’ Ambush” Edward’s passive skill when combined with this talent increases + 49% the attack of archers by reducing 50% strength.

  • Edward of Woodstock Guide & Talent Tree Builds | Rise of Kingdoms (27) Razor Sharp: Grants an additional 9 rage after launching a normal attack. Any gain from Rage to Edward is important.
