Skill upgrade order
5-5-5-5(expertise)
Boudica Prime is a commander that you need to have the expertise to take advantage of her properly.
Why? Well, her expertise and skill have an 80% chance of dispelling the control effect. In simple words, you can’t get hit by silence, disarm, and heal immune effects.
As for her other 4 skills, you need to max out her first active skill before anything else.
After that, you can go in pretty much any order you like, since all 4 skills are useful in battle and you will need her expertise skill in the end anyway.
Pros
- Extremely high skill damage
- A fine balance between offense and defense
- Skill damage is taken reduction, something that you will receive a lot on the field.
- Healing
- Can’t be silenced
- Outperforms Nevsky and Joan (terms and conditions applied)
- So much damage output that it makes infantry cry
- Extremely versatile
Cons
- Lacks march speed
- No counter damage
- No AOE
- Expertise is a must-have
What is Commander Boudica Prime good at?
Pretty much everything. You name it, she can do it. Boudica Prime is a beast on the open field, excellent for the rally, and solid in Canyons and all the other game modes like Ceroli, Champion of Olympia, Golden Kingdom, and others.
The reason why Boudica Prime is so good is that she has a nice balance between offense and defense. On top of that, her skills have great synergy with plenty of other commanders.
Boudica Prime Talent Tree builds
Boudica Prime is best used as the primary commander, making these talent trees extremely important. Below you will find Boudica Prime’s talent tree for several different scenarios.
The Best Talent Tree (Open field / Rally / Canyons)
No matter what you are doing, this is the talent tree you should be using for Boudica Prime.
It will work for long-lasting open-field battles, Rallying objectives and cities as well as canyons.
The reason why this build is not using Feral Nature is that in testing we have found that Whistling Arrows works better for her, as you will be using archer troops only.
Alternative Build for City Pops and Murderball
Well, Feral Nature may not be the best choice for Boudica Prime; however, if you just wanna do some city pop kills on your enemies or go all out in murder ball, then a faster skill cycle of this talent build will surely help.
Boudica Prime commander pairings
As mentioned before, Boudica Prime is very versatile and can be paired with pretty much any archer commander in the game; however, these pairings will be slightly better than the others.
Zhuge Liang (Secondary)
Zhuge Liang is currently the number one Archer commander in the game. His pairing with Boudica Prime is simply unbeatable at the moment.
Use Boudica as primary and Zhuge as secondary and see Nevsky and Joan (previous best) getting destroyed.
Nebuchadnezzar II (Secondary)
What are the three things Boudica lacks? March speed, Counter Damage, and AOE Damage.
Well, behold the Nebuchadnezzar; this guy has all three of those things.
Boudica Prime and Nebu complement each other very well.
Together they can do so much damage while also being tanky. Without a doubt, Nebu is still one of the best choices for Boudica Prime.
YSG (Secondary)
Ramesses primary and YSG secondary was the very popular archer pair.
He brought valuable attack trees, Healing, defense, and march speed to the table, while YSG takes down enemies as secondary with his massive 5 Target AOE damage.
Well, Boudica Prime does everything that Ramesses does, only better.
You can surely use this combination for more offensive power compared to the Nebu pair while sacrificing defense.
Amanitore (Primary)
Amanitore has huge damage output with AOE; however, her biggest problem is that she silences herself to get an 80% damage boost.
Now check out Boudica Prime’s expertise skill; she has an 80% chance to remove silence.
So basically, self-silence from Amanitore is gone, and now It’s pure nuking without any restriction.
Amanitore will also provide defensiveness to the pairing. These pairings will do so much damage together while being tanky at the same time.
Henry V (Secondary)
Boudica Prime and Henry V work the same as the Nebu pairing. The only difference is tankier and More single target damage without AOE damage.
Ramesses II (Primary)
In case you haven’t noticed, there haven’t been commanders in recent times who can counter-healing. Ramesses and Boudica both can do minor and lots of single-target damage.
So, if you want to quickly snip down a target near your city without taking too many wounded, this pair will surely help.
Tomyris (Primary)
People often forget how important the role of debuffer is in the open field battle.
Tomyris is one of the best debuffers in the game; she makes target more skill damage from you as well as your ally.
As you know, Boudica Prime does lots of skill damage. So, using this pair won’t only give you lots of kills but will also help out your ally greatly.
If you want to play a supporting role, then this pair will definitely be a good choice.

Boudica Prime Best Formation
Boudica Prime does a lot of skill damage. And the commander that you pair her with will most likely do the same.
So, the best formation for her will be Wedge Formation. It can boost skill damage by an extra 5%, which will be devastating given Boudica already has high skill damage to begin with.
