Nekbet

How to Use Nekbet

Nekbet is one of the more directly applicable epic-tier advisors for military-focused builds. The bonus (desert swordsman champion can be trained at the fortress) does not require complex setup to extract value.

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 Nekbet still relevant in current meta builds, especially those leaning into the military archetype.

Unlocking Nekbet

Players targeting Nekbet should focus on the Epic-reward quest sequences in their faction storyline. Random drops also occur but are less reliable.

Nekbet Synergies

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

• Cassivellaunos (Uncommon, Age III) — Cavalry units move 6% faster
• Conall (Epic, Age II) — Infantry, Ranged, and Cavalry units regenerate 1.6 health every second
• Deverell (Rare, Age IV) — Longbowman Master can be trained at the Fortress

Multi-civilization Heritage

Lore-wise, Nekbet aligns with the Multi-civilization cultural sphere (mixed historical tradition spanning multiple cultures), one of the named factions playable in Age of Empires Online.

Timing Within Age III

Age III is the Iron Age — your civilization is fully developed and strategic decisions revolve around army composition, resource allocation, and timing attacks.
