Builds for Cao CaoOverview
High march speed; ideal on T1 troops for grabbing runes, joining rallies, and objective sprints. Also a spender barbarian-fort rally lead.
Pairings
- Minamoto no Yoshitsune · as primary
Two single-target cavalry nukers; Cao Cao's march speed delivers Yoshitsune's burst before the target can disengage.
Counters & matchups
Cao Cao is built for barbarians and forts (Peacekeeping talents), so it is not favoured against other governors’ marches.
Cavalry holds the edge over archers and gives it up to infantry, whatever the scenario.
