Weylin

Build Application

Weylin is one of the more directly applicable uncommon-tier advisors for economy-focused builds. The bonus (houses cost 9% less wood) does not require complex setup to extract value.

The opportunity cost matters: every advisor slot you commit to Weylin is one you cannot give to a flex pick. Make sure your build order can absorb the bonus throughput.

If you've previously underwhelmed with uncommon-tier advisors, Weylin is a useful test case for whether your build order rewards focused bonuses.
