Philip IV Talent Tree Build and Guide Age of Empires Mobile

Philip IV is the decent for Legendary Swordsmen hero in Age of Empires Mobile. His specialties and talent tree are Tactician, Attack and Buff.

• Decent DPS-oriented support, but forced “charging state” on signature skill is clunky.
• Fits with Sun Tzu but is first replaced once a better hero releases.
• Pairs with Infantry (Sun Tzu, TriBhuwana): Good bridging hero in mid-game.
• Gains some traction in multi-hero combos that rely on extra skill triggers or stacking states.
