Leonnorios

How to Use Leonnorios

Slotting Leonnorios into your Age I advisor slot tells your opponent you're investing in combat; the bonus (spearmen deal 15% more damage) is most impactful in extended matches where stat compounding matters.

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

Most published deck-building guides include Leonnorios or a comparable combat-focused advisor for similar reasons: predictability and clean stacking.

Name Origin

The name Leonnorios is rooted in the Celt tradition — Iron Age Celtic warrior tradition — giving the advisor a thematic identity even when used outside their associated civilization.
