Builds for Joan of Arc PrimeOverview
Prime rework of the Epic Joan of Arc; pairs with Alexander Nevsky for a top open-field cavalry march.
Pairings
- Xiang Yu · as primary
Joan Prime's rage generation and healing keep Xiang Yu's expensive AoE firing every cycle while offsetting the focus fire he attracts.
- Honda Tadakatsu · as primary
A flex march: Honda's leadership kit supplies the skill damage and Joan Prime the dedicated support engine, so the pair works over any troop base.
