Your stronghold welcomes new allies to lend a hand and call upon those who are interested in furthering your cause. Learn how to take advantage of these Commanders to lead and strengthen your armies to defeat formidable foes throughout the seven kingdoms!
Commanders
Commanders are iconic characters that grant abilities to enhance your armies, providing significant advantage to take on the toughest armies in Westeros! Use Commanders to improve your strategic advantage, providing opportunities to go against armies that may seem impossible to overcome!
Each Commander has Talents that can apply buffs and debuffs that synergize more effectively with dragons possessing specific traits—such as Willful or Relentless— allowing you to build armies around intentionally matched pairings! For example:
- A Commander such as Young Alicent has a chance to grant Immunity to Bleed, Panic, and Burn to the Ally with the fewest troops for 2 rounds. This chance is increased by 2x if your army contains a Willful Dragon, such as Moondancer or Jagadrix.
- A Commander such as Corlys has a Chance to apply 3 stacks of Vulnerable to 3 Enemy Dragons for 2 rounds. This chance is increased by 2x and applies 2 additional stacks (5 total), if your army contains a Relentless Dragon, such as Kalspire or Meleys.
How it Works
Commanders can be unlocked by visiting the Market, the Store, Daily Quests, Chapter Quests or by claiming them in special events. Once you unlock a commander, they will permanently be part of your Stronghold.
These allies can then be assigned to an army’s Commander’s Seat, which can be unlocked via your Stronghold Upgrades. Assign a Commander to your army via the Army Builder.
View and manage all your existing Commanders by tapping your Stronghold and selecting the Commander Grove, or via the Army Builder.
By collecting Commander Medals, Commander Honors, and Onyx Honors through daily quests, special events, and offers, you’ll be able to upgrade a commander’s Talents over time.
Abilities
Talents
Talents are unique to each Commander and define its core battlefield ability, similar to that of your Dragons Habits. Talents apply special effects during combat, improving a Commander’s effectiveness on the tile map by debuffing enemies or enhancing the dragons within their army.
Certain talents synergize with Dragons that have certain traits, so be sure to plan your battles accordingly!
The more Talents a commander obtains, the more powerful the army they are overseeing will perform. Similar to a Dragon Habits and Commands, Talents are retained between reigns and will not be reset or removed from your inventory
Commander Rank
Commander Rank is the sum of a Commander’s Talents. Commanders will upgrade in rarity upon hitting specific Commander Rank thresholds, and may provide increases to Army Size as they progress.
Unlike Dragons, a Commander’s rarity is an indication of its progression. The five rarities are as follows:
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
The more Talent Ranks a commander obtains, the more powerful they will be when applied to your armies.
You can upgrade a Commanders Rank by obtaining Commander Medals, Commander Honors, and Onyx Honors.
