William I History:
William I, known as William the Conqueror, was the first king of England, reigning from 1066 to 1087.
In 1066, William I, Duke of Normandy, invaded and conquered England in what is now known as the “Norman Conquest.” In the most decisive battle of the campaign, the Battle of Hastings, the Normans killed King Harold II and defeated his army near Hastings on October 14, 1066. The Norman Conquest changed the course of English history forever. Whether the changes were commercial, religious, or cultural, England would forever be a complement to continental Europe.
In addition, the famous “Domesday Book”, a compilation of land surveys covering most of England and part of Wales, was also completed under the direction of William I.
William I Review:
William I's active skill (Hidden Blood) deals AoE damage to your enemies and also removes additional skill damage buffs from your enemies. His fourth skill (Northern Scourge) increases the defense of himself and his allies for 3 seconds when his first skill hits an enemy. These are amazing effects when you are fighting on the battlefield with many marches.
William I is best used as a secondary commander as there are many better options for a primary commander.
Despite being a fairly “old” commander in the game, William I still holds his value and to this day remains one of the top cavalry commanders to have in your squad when going into battle.

Open field: Alexander Nevsky (William I as sub-commander) – William's active skill removes the enemy's ability to increase their additional skill damage and reduce their march speed, which is very important in the latest KvK outdoor combat environment, with new commanders like Scipio/Nevsky/Budica Prime dealing massive damage supported by sub-commanders who provide skill damage buffs.
