Diaochan Guide

In this guide, you will find out everything you need to know about Diaochan in Rise of Kingdoms. We will cover everything from skills to the best pairings and where to use her.

Diaochan’s skills are subpar and focused on PVE, which means fighting against barbarians. When it comes to PVP, you can use Diaochan, but only in new kingdoms. She is not effective in developed kingdoms where players have many great rok commanders.

• Great for new players.
• Bonus experience and damage to barbarians.
• Healing that can help a lot while fighting barbarians.
• Bonus stats, which are great for new players who have a low amount of stats.
• You can use any troops with Diaochan.
• Great Peacekeeping talent tree.
• Great synergy with Lu Bu.
• Decent for PVP on new servers.

Diaochan is a great commander for new kingdoms in ROK. However, she does not deal a lot of damage, and on top of that, you need Lu Bu for synergy. Since Lu Bu is a legendary commander, he is not worth investing in.

Diaochan Talent Tree Build For PVP

PVP talent tree build for Diaochan is bad and you can use it only on new kingdoms. This build will increase your supporting ability and increase your rage generation.

Diaochan Pairings

If you need paring for other commanders check out Rise of Kingdoms Pairings.

Lu Bu

We can see that they have synergy and to get most of Diaochan and Lu Bu you have to pair them together. But there is a high chance that you will not max Lu Bu or you will pair better with him. So I would avoid this pair. Use Lu Bu as the primary commander because Lu Bu’s talent tree is better.

Cao Cao

Well, this is great pay for farming barbarians and if you play cavalry. Cao Cao will bring nice nuke damage and cavalry stats. Also he has a small amount of heel that will work great with Diaochan. So if you do not have any other pair you can use this one. If you pair them use Cao Cao as the primary commander because Cao Cao’s talent tree is much better.

Lohar

Lohar and Diaochan will have a nice amount of healing so you do not have to go back to the city after fighting barbarians. With this pair you will get a lot of experience and max your commanders fast. Overall great pair for new players who are struggling with barbarians.

Joan Of Arc

Joan of Arc and Diaochan are great pair for PVP fighting on new kingdoms. Together they will bring a nice amount of stats, buffs and healing. With this pair you can use any type of troops and it is best to use 3 different types of troops so you can get max from Joan Of Arc talent tree.

Diaochan Skills

Dance of Chaos

Rage Requirement: 1000

Active Skill
For the next 4 seconds, attacks have 100% chance to deal direct damage to target (Damage Factor 150).

Upgrade Preview:
Direct Damage Multiplier – 150/200/250/300/350

This is a small damage factor and it is such a bad skill when you compare it to other Epic commanders that have direct damage.

Dance of Silver Lotus

Passive Skill
All damage dealt to barbarians is increased by 5%. Both commanders gain 5% increased experience for defeating Barbarians.

Upgrade Preview:

• Damage to barbarians – 5% / 10% / 15% / 20% / 25%
• Experience bonus – 5% / 10% / 15% / 20% / 25%

A great skill for new players who are struggling with leveling commanders and destroying barbarians.

Dance of the Rose

Passive Skill
Troops led by this commander gain 2% increased attack and 2% increased defense.

Upgrade Preview:

• Attack bonus – 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% / 10%
• Defense bonus – 2% / 4% / 6% / 8% / 10%

Ok skill for new players who do not have a lot of stats and it is universal so you can use any type of troops with her.

Dance of the Cherry Blossom

Passive Skill
A portion of slightly wounded units led by this commander are healed after using a skill (Healing Factor 250). Receives an additional healing when troops include Lu Bu (Healing Factor 250). This effect can trigger at most once every 5 seconds.

Upgrade Preview:

• Healing Multiplier- 250/300/350/400/500
• Healing Multiplier -(with Lu Bu ) – 250/300/350/400/500

Healing is ok but again only for new players. If you are in a developed kingdom this heal will not make a lot of difference in field battles. On top of that, you need to have Lu Bu to get max healing which is not worth it.

Chain Stratagems

New Passive Skill

For the next 4 seconds, attacks have 100% chance to deal direct damage to the target (Damage Factor 400)
