Eulji Mundeok Talent Tree Build
Eulji Mundeok has the Infantry, Garrison, and Attack talent trees. This is a unique combination, as you usually don’t see an epic commander with these three trees. The most notable difference is that he doesn’t have a Skill tree. Let’s take a look at some builds that make the most sense for using Eulji Mundeok as a commander. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions, and you can always experiment with different builds based on your personal experience.
Eulji Mundeok Garrison Talent Tree Build
For this tree, you should first get Effortless to increase damage by 2.5% every 10 seconds. This enhances Eulji’s already high damage factor. Next, Burning Blood will help provide the rage generation that Eulji Mundeok needs. Then, Lord of War will increase attack by 9%, and finally, you should choose Armored Joint to reduce damage taken.
Eulji Mundeok Field and Flags Talent Build
Since Eulji Mundeok is an open field infantry commander, you will want to maximize the infantry tree. To do this, first, go to the top of the infantry and get ‘elite soldiers’, which will increase the attack, health and defence of your infantry army by 2.5%.
Of course, this is only applicable when the entire army has one troop type, which is the infantry troop type. Then, for rage generation, get ‘undying fury’, which you will find helpful because Eulji Mundeok does not have a skill that generates rage.
Next, you should get ‘call of the rage’ which will increase your defence by 6% when your army has a strength of 50% or lower. ‘Iron spear’ will increase damage dealt to cavalry units. It would be best if you also got ‘strong of body’ to get a 6% infantry health buff.
Last of all, you should get ‘snare of thrones’ which will slow down your target, which is useful because infantry units are quite slow, and ‘hold the line’ will give you some tankiness with the 10% chance to reduce damage taken by 20% for two seconds.
How can you obtain Eulji Mundeok?
Obtaining Eulji Mundeok is reasonably simple and straightforward. First of all, if you began your game with the Korea Civilization, you will already have this character. Secondly, you can easily obtain him the same way you would any other commander, which is by getting him from the silver and gold keys.
Thirdly, you can also compete in the expedition and convert all of your universals to Eulji Mundeok. Lastly, there will be a Korea event where you can obtain up to 20 Eulji Mundeok sculptures. These are the different ways you can obtain Eulji Mundeok.
Eulji Mundeok Pairings
Here we will talk about some of the best commanders that you can pair with Eulji Mundeok. These are just suggestions, and again, they totally depend on you. These are a few of the best ones that we have come across.
Sun Tzu
This is the best pairing for Eulji Mundeok. Sun Tzu will buff your infantry health by 10% and also will bring into the picture a rage engine that Eulji does not have. This pairing will have a full infantry army since Sun Tzu, too, is an infantry commander.
Sun Tzu would make a better primary because Sun Tzu has the skill talent tree that Eulji Mundeok lacks. However, Eulji being primary, will help power off Sun Tzu’s debuff. Overall, Sun Tzu is a better primary because the skill tree is pretty valuable.
Boudica
This pairing will lack synergy because Boudica is not an infantry commander; she is a universal commander. She has a high single target damage which goes very well because Eulji Mundeok is an open field commander who values attack power above all else. She should be placed in the secondary commander position, and Eulji Mundeok should be the primary commander in this pairing.
Her damage will be powered off when the 30% defence debuff is active. She will not only decrease the attack of the enemies by 20% for two seconds but also do significant damage to them. She has an immense rage generation, which makes up for Eulji Mundeok’s lack of it in his skills.
Osman
Osman 1 relies on a powerful rage generation that Eulji Mundeok cannot offer, but this pairing is still something that does make a bit of sense. The other two mentioned would make a better pair, however. Together, they will have a considerable defence debuff. Osman 1 deals a direct damage factor of 400 and, on the next turn, 1100 damage factor.
This is a massive amount, and the only reason you should consider this pairing is the considerable damage factor dealt. It also offers 10% more troops. Osman talent tree is better for attacking objectives.
Eulji Mundeok Skills
These are Eulji Mundeok’s four skills. Since he is an infantry commander, his skills focus on target damage and defence. They are pretty powerful skills and make him a worthwhile commander to invest in and will bring a lot of value to your game.
Water Attack
Rage Requirement: 1000
Active Skill
Attacks the target and deals massive damage. Decreases defense of the target for 2 seconds.
Upgrade Preview:
Direct Damage Factor: 300 / 375 / 450 / 600 / 750
Defense Reduction: 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% / 30%
This is Eulji Mundeok’s first and active skill. It requires a rage of 1000. This skill is his best skill and will deal a massive damage factor of 750. It also decreases the defence of the target by 30% for two seconds. So clearly, this skill is what makes Eulji Mundeok such a valuable commander in the rise of kingdoms and makes him arguably one of the best open-field infantry commanders in the game.
Cold Welcome
Passive Skill
Increases garrison defense when this commander is service as garrison commander.
Upgrade Preview:
Defense Bonus: 1% / 2% / 3% / 4% / 5%
‘Cold Welcome’ is Eulji Mundeok’s first passive skill and second skill overall. It increases the garrison defence by 5% while Eulji is serving as a garrison commander.
Battle of Salsu
Passive Skill
Increases the attack of infantry units and defense of infantry units.
Upgrade Preview:
Infantry Attack Bonus: 4% / 5% / 6% / 8% / 10%
Infantry Defense Bonus: 4% / 5% / 6% / 8% / 10%
‘War and Peace’ is Eulji Mundeok’s third skill and is also very powerful. It deals a 10% attack and 10% defence to infantry units. This is a solid skill and makes him a popular character, especially among free-to-play players.
Strike Back
Passive Skill
When attacked, Eulji Mundeok has a 10% chance to increase his own troops’ damage on the next turn.
Upgrade Preview:
Damage Bonus: 20% / 40% / 60% / 80% / 100%
This is Eulji Mundeok’s final skill and is called ‘strike back.’ It gives the player a 10% % chance to increase his own troops’ damage by 100% on the next turn when attacked. So it gives a 10% chance of doubling the damage, and with more and more enemies, it has a higher chance of going off.
War and Peace
Enchanced: Battle of Salsu
Increases the attack of infantry units by 15% and defense of infantry units by 15%.
Lore
Eulji Mundeok was born in the mid-6th century and died sometime after 618. As one of the most distinguished military leaders of the Goguryeo period, Eulji Mundeok’s leadership and tactical acumen were the decisive factors in defeating the Sui invasion. Facing numerically superior forces, he developed a strategy that allowed him to secure a decisive victory. Such brilliant tactical success earned him a permanent place among Korea’s most famous leaders. Kim Bu-sik, the author of the Samguk Sagi, also attributed the victory over Sui to Eulji Mundeok. Nowadays in Korea, Eulji Mundeok is recognized as one of the greatest figures in its national history.
