General AOO Strategy for Beginners

Once you are inside the Ark of Osiris map, the Alliance leaders focus on the key points of the map to organize the team players and create effective strategies.

• Team players must quickly establish Markers in the 2 Obelisks closest to the team starting point.
• Players with fast commanders (Cao Cao, Belisarius, etc.) must send out cavalry marches at the beginning to reduce the capture time while another starts a Rally as reinforcement of the same Obelisk in case the enemy decides to attack it directly. It is important to prioritize these 2 Obelisks.
  • The Obelisk is the most important structure of Ark of Osiris. It allows each team to teleport 8 cities quickly to its area. The strongest players should teleport first, then as the battle goes on, you can teleport more cities.
• You must as well capture Shrines ASAP as they give additional bonuses to your armies in the battles. Some increase attack and some increase healing speed.
• During the early game, outposts don’t give many points but it is important to keep them to add extra scoress. Altars on the contrary, are very profitable in points when getting captured.

Skill Set

Each side can only select 6 skills for the battle. These skills increase the power of the team by a lot and can only be used by the leaders.

Therefore, you must be very selective in their disposition. Below is one of the skillset that should work well in almost all Ark of Osiris battles:

Running Charge: Ideal to increase the movement speed of the troops in a certain area 100%, a skill that consumes just a little energy. Speed is very important in Ark of Osiris as you want to travel very fast to the right position on the huge map!

Swift Stride: Increases March Speed of the entire Alliance by 50% for 30s, widely used to protect or attack the Ark. Together with Running Charge, they are the literally the most effective skill in AOO.

Hard Push: An offensive skill for capturing the enemy Obelisks as it reduces the occupation time while increasing the rally’s march speed and damage by 20%.

War Drums: An offensive skill that increases the damage of 30 Alliance marches in the targeted area.

Mystical Formation: A defensive skill that increases the defense of 30 Alliance marches in a targeted area.

Tear Down: Increases the damage dealt to a specific structure by 80%, ideal for capturing key or specific points that are garrisoned such as Shrines or Obelisks.

There are a ton of skill combinations that you you use but in general, you want to be fast and gain a balanced defense-attack combination.

The skill selection also depends on the Ark of Osiris strategy your team use. The list above is just what we recommend for widely used and standard choices for all types of encounters.
