Leotarios

How to Use Leotarios

Leotarios is one of the more directly applicable common-tier advisors for military-focused builds. The bonus (war chariot can be trained at the fortress) does not require complex setup to extract value.

Some opponents specifically counter military-focused builds; in those matchups, consider rotating Leotarios out for a flex advisor that matches the actual on-board situation.

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