Player reviews
Classic review: "Ramses kills Richard." Against teams without healers, his value drops, but in a meta where every second march is a heal tank, he is invaluable. Players are advised to keep him as number two: debuffs work regardless of position.
Adviсe
Follow the meta of your kingdom: there are a lot of Richards and Wu Zetian - download Ramses. The healing ban is also valuable in a rally across garrisons with healing. The garrison itself is almost never used.
