How to Use Panhsj
Panhsj's effect — guard towers deal 30% more damage — is the kind of bonus that rewards players who plan their build order around a single throughput vector rather than spreading attention thin.
Map type strongly influences value — open maps with frequent skirmishes reward different advisor archetypes than closed boom-heavy maps.
Players coming back to Age of Empires Online will find Panhsj still relevant in current meta builds, especially those leaning into the combat archetype.
