Age of Empires Mobile – Full Guide Of Warrior Archer Heroes/Line-ups (F2P & Spender)

Warrior Archer Heroes/Line-ups (F2P & Spender)

By kaity

Disclaimer

Some of the heroes of the beta are not visible in the new servers these heroes are Suleiman, Boudica, Bellevue, Yodit, Lubu, and Ram, this is confusing us as when these heroes are expected to come for the new servers, So I decided to take into the account the possibility that these heroes may take too long for the new servers to come.

Heroes Review

Note: Skills shown are level 1. divide by 0.298 for max level values.

King Derrick

King Derrick can be used in Swordsmen and Archer line-ups but his Signature skill needs the “Rout state” which is something more common for swordsmen, so he is better there, I will include him slightly in this guide as an early/budget investment for archers.

Mulan and Josephine

Mulan and Josephine’s commander skills are known for the burst single target damage, Josephine’s skill is stronger, more damage, and faster cast even Mulan after her first skill still has a lower multiplier, but Please pay attention that Mulan does more damage because she has higher might.

For signature skills, Mulan one is better, with a bigger gap than that of the commander skill.

Generally speaking, Mulan is a better version of Josephine.

Attila and Rani

I spoke about their kits at The Full Guide of Warrior Cavalry Heroes/Lineup (F2P & Spenders).

I want to mention that Attila and Rani are generally considered better in the cavalry, this is because archer heroes tend to have the double attack state, making Rani and Attila signature skills often overlap with them.

Bellevue

Bellevue’s signature skill is a “double-attack” hero, but only she enters the double-8attack state, as said before double attack is good with secondary strike skills.

She also gets a Might bonus, Might as said before, it increases your might attack, which increases your whole team’s might damage, but that’s not the only thing Might does, Might also increases the effect of the hero skills effects including damage.

So she needs skills to scale off her might to function.

When we look at the commander skill, it does very little damage and needs time to be cast, but it gives a damage buff for herself based on her might.

Bellevue until now still does not have anything that scales off the might, and damage bonus, that’s why Bellevue is reliant on her customizable skills.

So generally speaking Mulan will do more damage than Bellevue early game, but in late game, Bellevue is a monster that Mulan can’t compete against.

Stars

• Josephine and King Derrick are tavern heroes, so their stars are expected to be of a low value.
• Rani is a battle pass and daily bundle hero.
• Mulan is obtained from the first top-up and bundles.
• Attila and Bellevue are wheel heroes.

Note: Bellevue is not visible for the new servers, this may or may not mean something.

Mulan is a little bit star-hungry.

Bellevue may sound star-hungry from the image, but she is just one of the best (actually the best) heroes in the game and her stars are the best of the legendary heroes

The Line-Up

Two factors to determine your line-up, whether you are a spender or not, and whether Bellevue is available in your server or not.

• For F2P your line-up will be Josephine King Derrick and Attila (I don’t recommend this line-up as main at all).
• For spenders use Mulan Josephine Attila, or if you have Rani, consider Bellevue Attila Rani.
• For F2p who has Bellevue, Bellevue Josephine Attila, Josephine is a place holder but don’t worry Bellevue and Attila are gonna carry.
• For spenders who can afford Mulan bundles, I suggest Bellevue Mulan Attila, for people who like to buy the daily bundles because of their value you can go with Bellevue Attila Rani.

Note

Some players wonder whether you should Run Mulan or Bellevue as a commander, the answer to this is I lean towards Bellevue, but some players like the burst damage of Mulan skill instead.

Customizable Skills

• Josephine: Weakspot attack and infuriation, or Sunder if she is with King Derrick.
• King Derrick: Earth crush with Righteous Judgement or Sunder.
• Mulan: Weak spot Attack an Act of Mercy, her purple skills are good as well.
• Attila: when it comes to Attila even though archers may not benefit from crit as much as cavalry did, I would still go for the double crit skills: Critical Insight and Warrior’s Hymn, that or the purple skills: Infuriation and Armor piercer.
• Rani: uses Warrior’s Hymn and Armor Piercer, you can consider King’s blade (no other good skills).
• Bellevue: Be careful when it comes to her, lots of players see Dark Flag and think it’s a good skill for her, As I said before Bellevue wants the skill to scale off her might, this leaves Weak Spot Attack, and Pay in Blood (Act of Mercy can be viable but I like it less than these two).

Small note: maybe Dark Flag can be okay if you are using something like 0-star Bellevue with 5-star Mulan, but just stay safe and save yourself from the complexity of maintaining who gets the Dark Flag buff.

• I want to mention that Pay in Blood is her BIS, that skill is one of the best customizable skills in the game at the moment.

Rings

I recommend checking the Rings section in the Cavalry guide I made before to avoid repetition. See the link above.

• Just like the cavalry heroes they can utilize lots of rings, but since this line-up depends on critical strikes less, and there isn’t Lubu signature skill that deals additional normal attacks, this line-up is less interested in the right: Lord of Eastern Heaven, it’s usable still tho.
• Tranquil Water is the best in the slot, especially how it can help to deal with Ring of Bear and Rings of Night Wold debuffs.
• Scorching Flame can be decent for this line-up, but the problem is I don’t trust this ring being good after the first skill cast.

Pros and Cons

Pros

1. This line-up does high damage.
2. Being able to debuff the enemy makes this line-up good for swarming, and the enemies may not fight you when you have allies around you.
3. If you can Max Mulan immediately with her bundles, she will give you a good head start.

Cons

1. Not the brightest early game line-up.
2. I somewhat hate that the team has some “anti synergy” with double-attack states overlapping, and Mulan and Bellevue don’t necessarily have any synergy between each other
3. The self debuffs from Bellevue and rings make the line-up risky to use.
4. Attila and Rani are better put in the cavalry line-up In my opinion.
