Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Trajan's Column

    A light skill hit, then three seconds of more skill damage and rage each second, while his own march takes more damage.

  2. Skill 2
    Expanding Borders

    His march gains defence, and health as well while it is outside alliance territory.

  3. Skill 3
    Great Expeditions

    More troop capacity; with three or more unit types each active cast adds a skill hit and leaves the target taking more damage.

  4. Skill 4
    Battle of Tapae

    On the map his normal attacks build up to ten stacks of defence, each new stack renewing ten seconds.

Builds for Trajan

Overview

Broad team buffs.

Pairings

  • Scipio Africanus Prime · as deputy

    Trajan's team-wide buffs are multiplied by Scipio Prime's counter-and-shield engine into a march that wins attrition.

  • Aethelflaed · as deputy

    Trajan's broad team buffs layer over Aethelflaed's troop-agnostic leadership kit, so the pair holds up regardless of troop mix.

Counters & matchups

Leadership commanders lead any troop type, so no troop type counters Trajan outright: pick the troops that beat the march in front of you.
