Flavius Aetius

Legendary
Infantry
Skill
Garrison

Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Spear of the Empire

    A heavy skill hit on one march; a target already below half its units also takes damage each second for three seconds.

  2. Skill 2
    Shield of Eagles

    Infantry gain attack, and as garrison commander his infantry also gain defence and health.

  3. Skill 3
    Defense of Gaul

    More counterattack damage; as garrison commander basic attacks stack a mark that raises the damage the target takes from infantry.

  4. Skill 4
    Victory at Chalons

    His march deals more damage, and basic attacks on a target suffering damage over time may silence it for two seconds.

  5. Awakened
    Song of the Nibelungs

    His march takes less normal attack damage, and actives may add two stacks of a mark raising the damage the target takes from infantry.
