Player Reviews

Reviews: Babur is an “artillery engineer.” He’s a pleasant surprise when it comes to dealing damage to troops in skirmishes near structures. Recommended for those who both fight and storm, not just storm.

Tips

Babur is more versatile than most engineers: you can deploy him in the field near structures without hesitation. However, for pure field combat, meta-commanders are still a better choice.
