Pairings

• 
  Trajan · as primary

  Trajan's broad team buffs layer over Aethelflaed's troop-agnostic leadership kit, so the pair holds up regardless of troop mix.

• 
  Sun Tzu · as deputy

  Aethelflaed's all-stat debuff aura plus a cheap AoE nuke: a free Legendary lead a new player can actually max.
