Jason

Slot Allocation Notes

Veteran players value Jason for the consistency of its bonus rather than its raw size. hetairoi master can be trained at the fortress — a steady, always-on modifier that doesn't depend on situational triggers.

Pair this advisor with a strong economic civilization so the bonus throughput isn't bottlenecked by resource shortages or population cap pressure.

Players coming back to Age of Empires Online will find Jason still relevant in current meta builds, especially those leaning into the military archetype.

Stacking Partners

Within the military archetype, several advisors layer cleanly with Jason. Players running a focused military build often rotate one of these as a second slot:

• Djer (Epic, Age III) — Desert Cavalry Champion can be trained at the Fortress
• Tumerok (Uncommon, Age III) — Pezhetairos Veteran can be trained at the Fortress
• Hyginus (Epic, Age II) — Infantry units regenerate 2 health every second

Age IV Considerations

Age IV is where deep deck-building pays off. Casual rotations underperform here — focused, planned advisor picks like this one consistently outperform.

Other Rare Advisors

If you want Rare-tier alternatives that take your build in a different direction than Jason, these advisors offer distinct strategic angles:

• Ligeia — Age III, utility focused
• Lionidas — Age IV, utility focused
• Erastos — Age I, resource focused
• Solon — Age IV, utility focused
• Timo — Age IV, combat focused

How to Obtain Jason

You'll typically encounter Jason as a drop from standard mid-tier quests or booster pack pulls during your first major empire push.

Lore & Etymology

Jason carries a Norse naming convention — Viking-era Scandinavia. While advisors are not strictly civilization-locked in gameplay, the lore tie shapes the flavor.
