I'm 282 days into the game now. I stock up a lot of speedups and only use them when i'm sure i can get 1st or 2nd place for events. I had no chance at winning the MGE so not from that.
Am really torn now, my only offensive commanders are Sun Tzu, Pelagius and Hermann. So i am contemplating whether to get YSG as my offensive commander, but since i have a 5111 Richard alrdy, wondering if i should go full defensive instead.
Who do you pair with Sun Tzu, Pelagius, and Hermann? Are they level 60 expertised? From the gold chest, do you have Cao2?
We shall expertise all Epic Commanders as much as possible if we can't get many Legendary Commanders. We can pair Epic with Epic or Epic with Legendary, they are totally fine i.e. Pelagius/Baibars, Pelagius/Belisarius, Pelagius/Cao2, Hermann/Kusunoki, Hermann/YSG, Sun Tzu/Eulji, Sun Tzu/Richard, etc.
If you watch Youtube, someone did a video of top3 5111 Legendary Commanders, Richard is one of them.
YSG is very good if you manage to get him expertised due to circular-shape aoe. But as a F2P, it's kinda long to get him done.
I came from kingdom where YSG is not in the gold key. Thus, I'm happy that my YSG is 5511 now. I even try Khan with 5111 which I'm regretting now as the second will get me killed. And the 3rd and 4th skills are contradicting. I'm like you with Richard 5221, and I wanna try Alex 5511 now, maybe in 1 month time. I don't have goal to max them as I'm in top 32 kingdoms. And it's not fun to play in dead kingdoms even though you can win MGE.
To go full defensive is that mean you max Richard? You might lost the fun without other Legendary Commanders to play with you. So it really depend of yourself. Of course F2P (real F2P) could get few expertised Legendary Commanders. In your case, Charles/Richard/YSG?
