Leucon

Strategic Use

Veteran players value Leucon for the consistency of its bonus rather than its raw size. scouts deal 100% more damage to huntables, move 10% faster and see 10% farther — 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 Leucon still relevant in current meta builds, especially those leaning into the combat archetype.

Recommended Companions

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

• Ptolemais (Uncommon, Age IV) — Toxotai and Gastraphetes have 20% more armor against Infantry units
• Timo (Epic, Age IV) — Palintonons can attack and see 35% farther
• Panhsj (Epic, Age II) — Guard Towers deal 30% more damage

Where to Get Leucon

Leucon is a tier-2 acquisition — accessible once you've cleared the main Vanity Age questline and have a few mid-tier booster pack pulls behind you.

Multi-civilization Heritage

Leucon carries a Multi-civilization naming convention — mixed historical tradition spanning multiple cultures. While advisors are not strictly civilization-locked in gameplay, the lore tie shapes the flavor.

Other Epic Advisors to Consider

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

• Nynetjer — Age III, military focused
• Vercassivellaunos — Age III, military focused
• Elder — Age II, utility focused
• Medias — Age IV, military focused
• Onesiphoros — Age III, economy focused

When Age I Matters

Age I in Age of Empires Online represents the Tool Age — your earliest economic bootstrapping phase. Advisor bonuses here shape opening tempo more than late-game outcomes.
