Are you a new player of Rise of Kingdoms and can just not figure out all the different types and specializations of commanders? It’s okay because it takes some time and practice to get the hang of it finally. However, don’t worry if you could use a reference point to understand all the different commanders in the rise of kingdoms.
There are four different kinds of commanders in Rise of Kingdoms. They are the Legendary, Epic, Elite, and Advanced commanders. This list is in order of most powerful to least. So the legendary commanders are the most powerful in the game and hence the most difficult to obtain. On the other hand, the advanced commanders are basically useless and completely powerless.

Legendary Commanders
We will begin by talking about legendary commanders. They are the hardest to obtain because they are the most powerful and sought after. You can obtain them in a few ways. Firstly, through the golden keys, secondly by various specific events, and lastly, you can use the payment to obtain them as well.
Some examples of legendary commanders are Attila and Aethaelfled. The most experienced players use legendary commanders because of their extreme strength and power. They bring the most value to the game, so you would want to obtain them above all else. You will have a powerhouse of a commander if you have a legendary commander as a primary commander.
Epic Commanders
Epic commanders are just at a tier less powerful than legendary commanders. They can be unlocked through silver and golden key events. Some examples of epic commanders are Lohar and Kiera. They are also pretty powerful, and you would want to unlock them. They just don’t compare to the legendary commanders.
Elite and Advanced Commanders
Elite Commanders- Next, we have the elite commanders. You can obtain them pretty easily through various events. They are not ideal commanders and are better off doing other tasks like farming. They are fairly useless in battle.
Advanced Commanders- These are the commanders that are not recommended for any big task in the game. They are quite weak, and you will not achieve a lot of success with them. As a result, they are also easy to obtain through events. Therefore, they are not to be used in any battles, and you should keep them on the sidelines if you have powerful commanders too.
