The latest update to Avatar: Pandora Rising is here and the highlights are many. A quick look shows the following changes to the game:

• 3 new Na’vi Commanders – Tioang (Uncommon, Warrior), Rawm (Rare, Gatherer) and Tsu’Mong (Rare, Warrior)
• 3 new RDA Commanders – Alihatar (Uncommon, Soldier), Riviera-Jones (Rare, Miner) and Michaels (Rare, Soldier)
• 2 new Na’vi Troops – Banshee Flight (Rare) and Stingbat Swarm (Uncommon)
• 2 new RDA Troops – Infantry Nest (Uncommon) and Missile Battery (Rare)

 

Commander changes have really impacted the upgrades your Troops see from their Commander. Here is a look at what the update has done to Jakesully from the Na’vi side:

 

Jakesully (Na’vi) before the update:

Commander Tags: Swift, RDA Nemesis
Synergies: Archers, Champion, Direhorse Rider, Fire Thrower, Ikran Assault, Viperwolf Pack
Commander Talents:

• Guerrilla – Travel Speed (+20% to +100%), Sentry Tower level (+3 to +25) versus RDA, all Troops level (+4 to +18) versus RDA
• Uprising – Champion level (+4 to +18), Firethrower level (+4 to +18), Viperwolf Pack level (+4 to +18)
• Raid Leader – Direhorse Rider level (+4 to +18), Ikran Assault level (+4 to +18), Archers level (+4 to +18)

 

Jakesully (Na’vi) after the update:

Commander Tags: RDA Nemesis
Synergies: Archers, Champion, Direhorse Rider, Fire Thrower, Ikran Assault, Viperwolf Pack
Commander Talents:

• Guerrilla – All Towers level (+4 to +40), all Troops level (+2 to +4) versus RDA
• Uprising – Champion level (+4 to +32), Firethrower level (+4 to +32), Viperwolf Pack level (+4 to +32)
• Raid Leader – Direhorse Rider level (+4 to +32), Ikran Assault level (+4 to +32), Archers level (+4 to +32)

 

What is different? Jakesully lost the Swift tag that was added in November. With it he lost the Travel Speed boost. In addition, his Troop bonuses against RDA drop from 4-18 to 2-4 – a huge difference. In addition, Commander levels now have been raised from 15 to 20 and the range for troop synergies from upgrades has increased as well, with Jakesully’s 6 Troop synergies now ranging from +4 to +32.

On the other side, Quaritch sees the following updates:

 

Quaritch (RDA) before the update:

Commander Tags: Na’vi Nemesis
Synergies: AMP, Flame Boss, Grenadier, Missile Strike, Ripper, Troopers
Commander Talents:

• Exterminator – Sentry Tower level (+1 to +15) versus Na’vi, Commander Tower level (+6 to +40) versus Na’vi, all Troops level (+4 to +18) versus Na’vi
• Warmonger – Troopers (+4 to +18), Grenadier (+4 to +18), Missile Strike (+4 to +18)
• Amp-lified – AMP (+4 to +18), Ripper (+4 to +18), Flame Boss (+4 to +18)

 

Quaritch (RDA) after the update:

• Amp-lified – AMP (+4 to +32), Ripper (+4 to +32), Flame Boss (+4 to +32)

 

Just like Jakesully, Quaritch has also seen his all Troops bonus reduced significantly, forcing more focus on the 6 Troops he synergizes with.
