• Siege Machine Defense

• Siege Machine HP

• Siege Machine Training Speed

Does Roger II Need Skill Books?

No.

Roger II is a pure Duty General.

Skill Books do not improve his Workshop Duty Officer effects while he is assigned to the building.

That means you should not waste valuable Skill Books trying to build him like a march General.

Does Roger II Need Equipment?

Not for his normal Workshop role.

Equipment does not improve the Duty Officer buffs Roger II provides while serving inside the Workshop.

Instead, focus on:

• General level

• cultivation

• Duty Officer rank

• Ascension

• Specialties

These are the systems that actually improve his value as a Workshop Officer.

Cultivation and Duty Officer Rank

Cultivation is important for Roger II because Duty Officer rank is based on General attributes.

Improving his attributes can help him reach stronger Duty tiers.

That means Roger II should be cultivated to meet Workshop Officer requirements rather than built for field combat.

Do not waste premium combat resources trying to turn him into something he is not.

Roger II for Siege Accounts

Roger II becomes most valuable on accounts that:

• use Siege PvP

• participate in Siege rallies

• train large numbers of Siege Machines

• invest heavily in Siege Research and Gear

• want stronger Workshop support

His combination of:

• Siege buffs

• enemy debuffs

• Training Speed

• Training Capacity

• Rally Capacity

makes him particularly useful for advanced Siege-focused accounts.

Roger II for Siege Rallies

Roger II has an unusual strength compared with many ordinary Duty Officers.

His Special Skill directly interacts with rallies.

While serving as Workshop Officer, he can:

• improve in-rally Siege Attack

• improve in-rally Siege Defense

• reduce enemy Ranged Attack and HP

• reduce enemy Siege Attack and HP

At higher Ascension, he also adds further enemy HP and Siege debuffs.

This gives him real combat value even though he never leaves the Workshop.

Is Roger II Worth Ascending?

Yes, if Siege combat is important to your account.

His Ascension adds:

• more Siege Attack

• more Siege Defense

• more Siege HP

• stronger enemy debuffs

• Rally Capacity

• Training Speed

However, Duty General Ascension is a major resource commitment.

If Siege is not one of your primary combat systems, those resources may be more valuable elsewhere.

Is Roger II Worth Investing In?

Roger II is worth investing in if:

• Siege Machines are a major part of your account

• you participate in high-level Siege rallies

• you want a specialist Workshop Officer

• you can realistically Ascend him

• you are already investing in Siege Research and Gear

He is less important if:

• you rarely use Siege PvP

• you mainly play Ground, Mounted or Ranged combat

• you already have a stronger Workshop Officer

• your fragments and Runestones are needed for higher-priority combat Generals

TEBA Verdict

Roger II is a strong specialist Workshop Duty General for Siege-focused accounts.

His biggest advantage is that he does more than simply improve Siege production.

He also adds:

• in-rally Siege buffs

• enemy Ranged debuffs

• enemy Siege debuffs

• Rally Capacity at higher Ascension

That gives him legitimate late-game value for players who use Siege rallies.

For players who do not use Siege heavily, he is much less important.

Roger II should be treated as a specialist:

excellent at his Workshop job, but not a General you should build for ordinary field combat.
