Pericles

In Rise of Kingdoms, Pericles is an epic infantry commander. He has the Infantry, Garrison, and Support talent tree.

Should you invest in Pericles?

Pericles is a good epic hero that all new players should max out. What is great is that he is an epic hero, so you will have no problems maxing him out. Now what you have to keep in mind is that Pericles is more of a garrison commander than a commander that you will use for field fighting.

If you are a new player, we recommend you invest in him. He will do a good job protecting your city on new servers, but as you progress through the game, you should consider replacing him with some stronger garrison commanders.

If you are an old player, you can max Pericles out, but you will most likely not use him. There are a lot better commanders that you can use for garrisoning and field fighting. He is for new players who are just starting in new kingdoms.

Pericles Pairings

If you are on an old server, you should not use Pericles. It is not worth it.

When it comes to pairings for Pericles, you can use any infantry commander that you have if you are a new player. If you are planning to use Pericles as a garrison, then use any commander that has a garrison talent tree.

It is best to avoid getting attacked as a new player, your main focus is to build your city and power, not lose your troops early on. If you do not have any legendary garrison commanders, then feel free to use Sun Tzu. He is the best epic hero in the game.
