Overview

Cheap evergreen Epic infantry nuker; expertise early (source recommends expertising Sun Tzu and Joan of Arc first).

Pairings

• 
  Charles Martel · as primary

  Sun Tzu's cheap, fast-cycling AoE does the killing that Martel's shield wall was never going to do alone.

• 
  Richard · as primary

  Richard soaks and heals while Sun Tzu's rage-fed AoE cycles behind the tank stats.

• 
  Yi Seong-Gye · as deputy

  Double AoE on a budget; Sun Tzu's rage restore accelerates both actives (early-game mixed-troop exception).

• 
  Joan of Arc · as deputy

  The classic F2P engine: Joan's rage and stat support cycle Sun Tzu's nuke almost continuously.

• 
  Aethelflaed · as primary

  Aethelflaed's all-stat debuff aura plus a cheap AoE nuke: a free Legendary lead a new player can actually max.
