Jan Zizka Talent Tree Build & Guide Rise of Kingdoms

Jan Zizka is a legendary cavalry commander in Rise of Kingdoms with the Cavalry, Garrison, and Skill talent trees. Jan Zizka is one of the strongest commanders for defending objectives in KVK and AOO. However, when it comes to rallying or fighting in the open field, he underperforms. The majority of his skills are focused on garrison, so there is no point in using him for open-field fighting.

Should you invest in the Jan Zizka?

Jan Zizka is an extremely powerful top-tier garrison commander. Whether he is worth investing in depends on several factors, such as whether you garrison buildings during KVK and AOO, whether you are free-to-play or pay-to-win, and whether you are focusing on cavalry commanders.

Only invest in Jan Zizka if you are a player who defends objectives in KVK and AOO. There is no point in investing in Jan Zizka if you plan to use him for field fighting, as there are much better commanders for that purpose. Additionally, if you plan to invest in him, you must also get his best pairing, which is Jadwiga. Ultimately, it is up to you, but overall, if you are free-to-play, we recommend not investing in him because most of the time, pay-to-win players are the ones defending objectives in Rise of Kingdoms.

Jan Zizka Talent Tree Build

When it comes to Jan Zizka’s talent tree, focus on rage generation, counter damage, defense, and damage reduction. This is the best talent tree build you can use for garrisoning objectives.

Jan Zizka Pairings

There are not a lot of pairings that you can do with Jan Zizka because in Rise Of Kingdoms there is a small number of cavalry commanders that are good for garrisoning. By far the best pairing that you can do is Jan and Jadwiga. If you do not have her then you can pair him with any other cavalry commander that is extremely powerful. 

Jadwiga: Jadwiga and Jan Zizka are the best pairings for cavalry in Rise Of Kingdoms. They have extremely good synergy with stats, boosting normal attack damage, nuke damage, and rage generation. If this pairing is garrisoning objectives, you will have a hard time destroying them because they are extremely powerful together. In this pairing, you will use Jan as the primary commander because the Jadwiga talent tree is not that great.
