Any advice on how I should build my ArchCom line-up?
Currently I'm in Empire and my target is:
Arch: Nobunaga - Moctezuma - Nelson - Li Hongzhang
Cav: Attila - Saladin
Inf: Richard/Barbarossa/Alex
Arti: Cleo/Bismarck
Above general that I have excluding the free one is Nobunaga & Attila.

I'd say keep saving medals for Nelson and also consider adding Yi-Sun-Sin. You'd want to lvl 6 both of nobu's skills too at some point.

You're really going for the active ability for Yi-Sun-Sin. You can defence up your gens before attacking Nobu or Li into a boss to save alot of HP

Catherine may also not be a bad option once you are in discovery as you can buy her with coins. |

As you already have Attila I'd forget about infantry altogether. Of course use them while they're still effective, but you don't want to be upgrading them any further. |

Cathy is worth getting every time, you just don't want to spend any medals on her unless you intend to keep her until the end. |

Only if you decide you want her in your final team. I've never taken her past 4* but stoic had her in his latest team. |

As an anti-archer specialist? Catherine is a budget alternative to Yi but now Mulan exists and I would like to hear from him as well. However Mulan's early game ability might need us to replay the whole game. Mulan is certainly the better damage dealer but whether she possesses the survivability we need is still in question. BTW, I haven't heard of people talking about Blucher lately. Is he getting left out of the first team? |

EW5 is a really amazing game with a great number of good and decent generals. Moreover they continue to add new ones (because awakened generals and their default counterparts are different indeed). I still believe that Catherine is stronger than awakened Mulan, because she's an archers' killer. I think they are more valuable. Besides, we don't need braveness to attack Infantry or cavalry. Of course, Mulan can attack archers too and completely without retaliation, but without additional bonuses against archers. She's probably a more versatile character than Catherine, but Catherine's damage against some Mythological archers is just amazing and these are the most formidable opponents we meet in the game. It was just a funny idea to use her, but I was really amazed by her overall utility in the game. As Iron Duke rightly pointed out we need time and real experience to make conclusions about Mulan. It is very difficult to judge generals in EW5 just by theoretical evaluation of their skills and talents. I made several mistakes in the past, and was proved to be wrong on several occasions... |

Is he getting left out of the first team? The introduction of the artefacts seriously diminished Blucher's appeal in my eyes. For a CavCom team and assuming 2 commanders, beforehand he would've been everyone's top choice for the next slot but thinking about who will wield Gungnir, Saladin makes more sense now: they have comparable basic stats and his Armor Master is neutralised if you give him an artefact, so his appeal is reduced to Rumor & Plunder vs Saladin's Logistics & Shield for a purchase price of 3250 medals and much later availability. |

Mulan has 50% bonus against archers as well. |

Plus Saladin has better GR. It does seem like a CavCom specific issue though as ArchCom has Nobunaga, InfCom has Richard and/or Alex, and ArtyCom has Cleo. What about the other lineups? |
