Sakurako, IIRC, has two stars in everything out of the box. Three extra stars in infantry = Latour (410) x 3. Three in cavalry is 3x Agha; what, 350 or something? Three in artillery is 3x Kutaisov, about 430 x 3. There is no cheap trainer with the exception of Diez (for movement stars) who costs more than 500. So she can be made five-star in any one thing you want for 1500 medals, which in real world money will cost you about $11 US, or nothing if you are patient enough for the grind. The training stars might superficially give you a huge advantage, but if you carry items and go after weaker targets, you can kill things with him fast enough that he levels up before he can use them to heal his damage. For these reasons I consider Sakurako better than Archduke Charles |

For these reasons I consider Sakurako better than Archduke Charles Unless its infantry, of course. Sakurako has 2 stars, bugle, and banner right off the bat, but Charles has 5 stars, bugle, and banner. Also off the bat. The main advantage of Sakurako is that she is free. Either way, I wouldn't use either commander. Sakurako lacks unit specialization, in that 3 buffs are unit specific and needs to be trained. Charles lacks Mass Fire, which I think is vital for an infantry commander as I like survivability |

Arya Stark, Sakurako upgraded to 5 infantry stars is cheaper than Charles

Unless you absolutely feel the need to carry more than +6 worth of attack items, absence of Mass Fire is not critical as it can be duplicated with Snare Drum (the cost of which can be shared out across all units which use it).

Arya Stark , Sakurako upgraded to 5 infantry stars is cheaper than Charles I guess I'm just lazy when it comes to trainers and farming. LOL |

COST: 8 EMBLEMS
Radetzky and Dombrowski differ from one skill, that is war master against banner. Since both skills are useless, these two generals are very similar. However, Radetky costs two more emblems, therefore I don't recommend buying him. |

Both are useless, but Banner is slightly less useless (it fractionally benefits surrounding units).

Ya I once had Dombrowski before I deleted the game a few years ago. God he was good. He's also very strong in Europe 1798 and 1809 conquests |

Is Lannes the best hybrid? Vexata quaestio. If we want to understand how much Lannes is useful we have to analyze him thoroughly.
Mass fire is a good skill for infantry, in fact he has 5 infantry stars. Assault art and leadership are good for ALL units, consequently Lannes is definitely a good hybrid. Finally, geography enhances his potential in cavalry and artillery.
Yet Lannes has a great opponent: Poniatowski. The latter, in fact, has fireproof instead of mass fire, and this makes him stronger in navy and weaker in infantry. Furthermore, Poniatowski costs 6 emblems, and this perhaps makes him a better choice for our badass but expensive Lannes.
A last tip for those who have numerous slots is to buy specialized generals in a particular unit and avoid hybrids like Lannes.
The thing is, you can give Poniatowski a Snare Drum and he is good for ALL units. A Snare Drum for Lannes, in my view, is a waste of an item slot considering Mass Fire makes him most viable on Infantry

Assault Art, Geography and Leadership are an excellent combination for cavalry, especially in the region of the Swiss-Italian-Austrohungarian alpine region (move fast, plunge into a mass of enemies and suffer no morale drop), and being able to get heavy guns through the mountains a bit faster can't hurt him either. He makes a good land hybrid for those who want/need one. I don't know if he's ever available as a tavern general, but what an asset he would be if so. The thing he's really lacking in is movement stars.

The thing he's really lacking in is movement stars. True but in conquests you can easily bypass that region and use some infantry and artillery to clear it out. Am not entirely sure about campaigns, but I've never had issues with taking out Alpine region in conquests |

I've used him as Sweden, Britain and Russia at various times and he never disappoints  |

He sounds like the perfect tool to unlock to help clear France when running for Fatimah and maybe Maria.
