Hey, I’m Zathong and this guide is about Chandragupta Maurya talent tree build in Rise of Kingdoms. Best Chandragupta Maurya build guides for Rise of Kingdoms 2023. Learn more about Chandragupta Maurya’s skill, background.

Really effective in hitting cities and strongholds with his buff and a solid choice here with versatile use whenever you want to hit a city or stronghold. He’s not outstanding in the open field so I did decrease his overall ranking by a little for that.

Chandragupta Maurya Pros and cons
Pros:
- Cavalry Commander, strong and fast.
- We can use it in both forms of PVP, Conquering or Attacking in Open Field..
- The ability to inflict damage in large numbers and percentages that Chandragupta gives to his units is incredible, one of the highest in Rise of Kingdoms, they baptize him as an “exterminator”.
Cons:
- It has no AOE skill damage, only single target.
- Does not have skill to heal troops during battle.
- It does not have many improvements to use it in PVE events. Although it is still effective.
