Best Commander Pairing for William Wallace
Liu Che
Scipio Africanus (Prime)
Gorgo
Liu Che is, without any doubt, the best pairing with William Wallace and you might want to think about using William as the secondary commander but that depends a lot on where your progress is so for sure test out both combinations but you will not find a better pairing with William Wallce than Liu Che. Scipio Africanus (Prime) is a possible pair but honestly Liu Che is working so much better with William and Scipio has also way better pairings, even with a commander like Alexander in the current meta that I really won’t recommend it that much. Gorgo is also a possible pair and the good news here is for the open field she doesn’t have to be that much built. But, again, Liu Che is working so much better. – -. – -.

Best Equipment Forge Order
In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for William Wallace. I have tailored this priority order that you can follow step-by-step to prevent forging and running equipment that is not useful or only provides a very small improvement. Follow the equipment path step-by-step and you will have the best and most economical gear:
Iron Helm is the first gear piece to forge and equip and has good attack stats for the invest
Cloth Gloves is like the Iron Helmet a really low-hanging fruit with solud stats for the investment
Blessed Blade is an amazing piece with massive additional health for infantry and a must-gear piece at this point
Infantry Breastplate has some decent defense for infantry and is a solid next gear item especially as you can use any defensive stats that you can get at this point and they deliver just that
Ranger Trousers are the only gear piece that you can use here that have infantry stats, although it's attack
Boots of Reverence is like the Ranger Trousers the only green option with infantry stats but the attack it offers is in general not that important but rather have it than leaving this slot without anything
Windswept Bracers are the first blue gear to equip and it changes the defense to health, which is great. As I mentioned in so many other spots, health is the strongest stat in Rise of Kingdoms so this is a switch that makes absolutely sense
Windswept War Helm is the next item to use. It will make the set bonus for the Windswept set with additional attack and has more attack than the Iron Helm you had here so it's definitely an improvement
Windswept Boots is not the most obvious next step as most players tend to rather choose The Scarlet Hounds but hear me out. Your previous gear here had attack and the Scarlet Hounds looks very juicy with the 4% health, but with infantry at this point you struggle so much with march speed that the additional march speed in the Windswept Boots is more than worth it and you NEED this gear item to get the second Windswept Set Bonus of 4 items (as there is no Windswept leg gear), and this set bonus will give you additional 4% march speed. For that reason take the hit and skip the health and take the Windswept Boots here
Windswept Breastplate has solid defense and gives you the 2nd Windswept Bonus with 4% march speed so that should be your next step here

And for the artifacts I have tested the different ones here so you can see which ones perform the best (of course I only tested/list the ones that make sense):
Horn of Fury
Ring of Doom
Vengeance
Scolas Lucky Coin
Concealed Dagger
Wind Scars
Moras Web
Greatest Glory
Call of the Loyal
Horn of Fury is a very important accessory for Sargon as it will allow him to get his active skill going quicker, making normal attacks deal skill damage and stacking up the skill debuff from his 2nd skill. Now that the enemy takes 30% more skill damage, cycling through his active skill gets even more important.Ring of Doom is probably the other best choice to increase the damage as you will gain more damage without requirements.
Best Builds For William Wallace
Below you will find the talent tree builds for William Wallace that make sense when running as the primary commander in any march in Rise of Kingdoms. Please also refer to the description below each talent tree as I explain a general route on how you should spend your talents there + some additional background for each talent build that I very likely will appreciate.
Smite is the way to go with him, I mean everything else makes little to no sense. I am not the big fan of how the Smite Tree is aligned that makes you basiaclly go all-in to get the final node, but the talents are all pretty good so there is not too much to regret there (except maybe the fact that I would love to spend more talent points since they are all so good). Go first into the Smite Tree and unlock the final node before investing in the Infantry Tree.
Conclusion
I hope this guide for building William Wallace helped you investing without wasting much time and resources. If you liked it or you further questions (or maybe also annnotations that you believe should be added here in this guide), please don’t hesitate to post them below in the commen section. Thanks for reading and have a great day and see you out in the kingdoms.
