Minamoto no Yoshitsune History:

Minamoto no Yoshitsune (1159 – June 15, 1189) was a general of the Minamoto clan, Japan during the late Heian period, early Kamakura period. Yoshitsune was the ninth son of Minamoto no Yoshitomo. Yoshitsune's older brother Minamoto no Yoritomo (Yoritomo's third son) was the founder of the Kamakura shogunate.

Minamoto no Yoshitsune Review:

Minamoto is a legendary commander that you can only get by topping up your coins.

Minamoto is valuable because he is very strong in hunting/gathering barbarian fortresses and PvP (early game).

The Minamoto Relic in the Museum adds a 20% increase to Cavalry Defense and 25% to Cavalry Attack - a huge boost to the Minamoto in terms of damage and survivability in open field combat.

Minamoto Commander Skills:

Active Skills:

Rage requirement: 1000

Minamoto's main attack skill deals very strong damage with a total potential multiplier of 2,000, for a commander released quite early in the game.

Passive skill 1:

The passive bonus to attack (20%) and march speed (10%) is huge. Just make sure he's leading a cavalry charge to get the bonus.

Passive Skill 2: Sword Master

50% bonus damage to barbarians makes Minamoto the strongest commander against barbarians and barbarian fortresses.

Passive skill 3:

Increasing the damage the target takes by 30% for 3 seconds is great, but the 10% chance to activate this passive skill reduces the appeal of this skill compared to other skills.

Expertise:

Minamoto's Specialty skill increases the average damage dealt by Minamoto's first skill (Kyohachiryu) as it increases the chance to deal additional damage from 50% to 75%.

Best pairings for Minamoto:

Open field: Alexander Nevsky (Minamoto as sub-commander) – Like Minamoto, Nevsky deals massive single-target damage to enemies (Damage multiplier is 2300) and grants enemies a defense reduction effect of up to 45% when surrounded by 3 or more troops. Nevsky also gains increased durability/toughness with his second skill (increases cavalry by 20% health) and third skill (increases cavalry by 20% defense and reduces damage from surrounded targets by 5%). Minamoto's fourth skill gives enemies a debuff effect (10% chance to increase target damage by 30% for 3 seconds), which can be devastating when combined with Nevsky's high skill damage.
