Siyaj K’ak’ Talent Tree Build and Guide Rise of Kingdoms

In Rise of Kingdoms, Siyaj K’ak’ is an Legendary Archer commander. He has the Archer, Conquering, and Skill talent tree.

Should you invest in Siyaj K’ak’?

Siyaj is a great early-game commander for players who want to rally objectives with archers. The problem with Siyaj is that he is not designed for the late game, so there is no point in investing in him if you are in older kingdoms. He is a gold key commander and is designed for new kingdoms, which means that his power does not compete against new commanders in older kingdoms. He needs museum buffs in order to be decent.

If you are a new player planning to rally, feel free to get him. However, if you are a free-to-play player, I would not recommend wasting resources to max him out. If you are in older kingdoms, it’s best to skip him. It is not worth getting him in older kingdoms until he gets museum buffs.

Pros

• Early-Game Viability: Decent stats and damage make him useful for new players.
• Rally Focus: Strong skills tailored for city/stronghold rallies.
• Self-Sustain: Healing and defense buffs improve survivability.
• Gold Key Access: Easy to unlock and level up.

Cons

• Low Damage Factor: Active skill damage is low compared to other commanders.
• Limited Late-Game Impact: Requires significant museum buffs to remain relevant.
• Niche Role: Primarily focused on rallying, limiting flexibility.
• Cooldown Dependency: Skills like healing and additional damage have significant cooldowns.
