Slot Allocation Notes
Players who pick Kleitos typically commit to a focused combat strategy from the opening, since the advisor's bonus (armory upgrades cost 30% less) compounds with every related upgrade and tech research.
Map type strongly influences value — open maps with frequent skirmishes reward different advisor archetypes than closed boom-heavy maps.
Most published deck-building guides include Kleitos or a comparable combat-focused advisor for similar reasons: predictability and clean stacking.
How to Obtain Kleitos
Kleitos appears in player rotations within the first 10-20 hours of focused play, usually as an early-game reward or store pickup.
Stacking Partners
Within the combat archetype, several advisors layer cleanly with Kleitos. Players running a focused combat build often rotate one of these as a second slot:
- Seleucus (Epic, Age IV) — Ballistas deal 30% more damage
- Seleucus (Rare, Age IV) — Ballistas deal 25% more damage
- Panhsj (Uncommon, Age II) — Guard Towers deal 20% more damage
Civilization & Lore Context
Kleitos carries a Egyptian naming convention — Nile civilization of the pharaohs. While advisors are not strictly civilization-locked in gameplay, the lore tie shapes the flavor.
