Saladin – Cavalry Juggernaut with Anti-Heal Utility

Saladin is a Legendary Cavalry Marshal known for his ability to neutralize healing effects and punish enemies over time. He thrives in open-field skirmishes and is especially dangerous in sustained combat scenarios where enemy support heroes are active.

Hero Type: Cavalry | Marshal

Troop Counter: Strong against Archers

Style Bonus: Match with 2+ Marshals for +20–30% stats

Skills Overview:

EX Skill – Iron Resolve: Deals single-target damage and applies an anti-heal debuff (reduces target’s healing received for several turns). Also applies a DoT effect.

Passive 1 – Shield of Honor: Boosts Saladin’s counterattack damage and provides a shield when health falls below 50%.

Passive 2 – Devout Rider: Increases movement speed and march speed for cavalry under his command.

Passive 3 – Ruthless Pursuit: Additional damage to enemies with speed-reduction debuffs (pairs excellently with heroes like Bushra or Khalid).

Best Builds and Talents:

Focus on Cavalry Offense, March Speed, and Troop Durability.

Talent Trees:

• Frontline Marshal Tree for open-field
• Anti-Heal Utility Tree for PvP counter comps

Best Pairings:

Bushra – Speed debuffs + AoE

Cid – For pure cavalry DPS synergy

Hannibal – Tanky option for mixed cavalry builds

Verdict: One of the best anti-heal heroes in the game. Devastating when used against healing comps or in coordinated team fights.

Season 3 heroes in Age of Empires Mobile add game-changing strategic options, from Saladin’s anti-heal cavalry pressure to Mansa Musa’s economy-defining buffs. Each hero brings unique value and can drastically shift your approach to PvE, PvP, or alliance management. Whether you’re optimizing for battles, base building, or long-term power scaling, these heroes are worth pursuing and investing in.
