Rozen Blade — Skills, Combos & Tactical Review

Commander's Tactical Evaluation

Reviewed by Don

¹ “Rozen Blade is a middle- or back-row cavalry support hero and one of the strongest auto-attack buffers in Rise of Empires. For the first 3 turns, her Skill 5 boosts the combat speed of all friendly squads by 100 and gives them a 70% chance to attack twice per round, while her Skill 2 cleanses friendly Cavalry and Archers and gives their basic attacks a 25% chance to suppress the target. Combined with her Skill 8 stacking damage amplification, she is a core support for The Immortal, Rainforest Ranger, Spectral Reaper, and Caesar, and is also top-tier for high-level tiling.”

Deployment Summary: Rozen Blade is a Support commander introduced in S3 (rated Highest Tier). Commands Cavalries in the Middle row (with secondary flexibility in the Back row), following an unlock priority of 6th - 8th - 7th.
