Takeda Shingen Guide and Pairs

Takeda Shingen is a commander who hails from Japan. He is a legendary commander ranked very high on the Rise of Kingdoms Tier List. He is considered one of the best cavalry commanders in Rise of Kingdoms because of his abilities to heal himself, increase his and his troops’ defense, and reduce the enemy’s strength during battle. To play as Takeda, you need to collect 10 of his sculptures, which can be obtained through golden chests, VIP shops, and events.

Takeda Shingen is the first cavalry commander in Rise of Kingdoms that does not deal skill damage. Takeda Shingen is based on normal attacks, which is a drawback. This makes pairing him difficult because all other cavalry commanders deal skill damage, leaving no ideal pairing for him.

The only good pair for him is Attila. Together, they form the strongest combo in the game. However, if you are not planning to get Attila, do not invest in Takeda Shingen—it is not worth it.

Another issue is that Attila and Takeda Shingen are great for rallies but perform poorly in field battles. My advice is, if you are free-to-play or a small spender, skip Takeda Shingen. It’s not worth getting him and wasting your golden sculptures. Leave him for big spenders.

Takeda Skills

Fierce as the Fire

This is a great debuff that makes the enemy take 50% more damage from Takeda’s normal attack when maxed out. This is even more effective when his troops are able to deliver a huge amount of regular attack. This skill lasts for 4 seconds and it can be used once every 2 seconds. This lets you use this skill twice every time.

Swift as the Wind

This skill gives a 40% bonus damage to the cavalry unit’s attack. This skill also grants a 10% chance for the cavalry to increase 30% march speed for the next three seconds. This is a great skill if you want to chase your targets.

Gentle as the Forest

This is a great passive skill because whenever Shingen uses his first active skill, his slightly wounded troops get healed every second. This passive skill can be activated only when his troops have cavalry units. This skill lasts for 4 seconds. This is a great defensive skill that increases the survival of Takeda and his troops on the battlefield.

Immovable as the Mountain

This is also a great defensive skill from Takeda as this skill can reduce the skill damage incurred by 5%. When Takeda gets hits by an enemy, there is a 10% chance that he would receive 25% less damage from counter-attacks and normal attacks. This is a great skill when you are fighting heavy nukers.

Kōshū-ryū Gungaku

The enemies that are hit by Takeda’s active skill will receive an additional 30% damage from him. Along with Takeda’s active skill, this skill can increase the damage by a massive 80%. This lets your troops deal damage of 1.8 bonus damage and this is a good boost.

Takeda Pairings

Attila has an active skill that increases the normal attack by 30%. As he is a commander who specializes in the cavalry, the cavalry units will also gain a 40% additional attack bonus damage.

This helps Takeda a lot because this increases the overall damage. When Takeda and Attila use both their active skills, the bonus damage attack goes up to 380%. This makes them a deadly pair in the game. You have to use Attila as the primary commander because Attila talent tree is much better.

There are no other ROK commander pairings for Takeda that are good.
