Builds for AttilaPairings
- Alexander Nevsky · as primary
Attila's attack-focused cavalry kit converts Nevsky's charge burst into a structure-cracking hit from the deeper rally rage pool.
- Takeda Shingen · as primary
The classic cavalry rally: Takeda's sustain and rage feed Attila's ramping damage buffs — weak in open field, strong on objectives.
