Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Shield of the King

    Raises a large shield on his march and a smaller, shorter one on the weakest friendly march nearby.

  2. Skill 2
    Lead the Charge

    Ignores damage-cutting debuffs; normal attacks sometimes add a hard strike and cut the target's healing.

  3. Skill 3
    Frontline Commander

    His infantry gain march speed and attack.

  4. Skill 4
    Battle of Chaeronea

    Without a shield his march gains attack; while shielded it gains defence instead.
