Skills

  1. Skill 1
    King of the Huns

    Four seconds of stronger normal and counter attacks, in which his normal attacks may sharply cut the target's attack.

  2. Skill 2
    The Siege of Constantinople

    Attacking a city or stronghold his troop deals a little more damage, and its attacks may briefly cut the target's defence.

  3. Skill 3
    Honoria

    His troop takes less skill damage but deals 30% less, and his cavalry gain a large attack bonus and march speed.

  4. Skill 4
    Battle of the Catalaunian Plains

    With only cavalry, his normal attacks may grant two seconds of much higher damage, of one of two sizes.

  5. Awakened
    The Scourge of God

    Immune to silence, with more normal damage against marches below half strength and a burst of speed after combat.

Builds for Attila

Pairings

  • 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.
