That extra rage is really nice to have early and you will buff your troops as well. Here’s the path to build this… first take the extra march speed from the Peacekeeping Tree and then make your way over to Rejuvenate. For that reason I think a Cavalry-based build is more suited for open field with Minamoto. Please mind that I wouldn’t recommend the skill-based build for open field with Minamoto that you will find on several channels/websites as fights are normally so short that you can’t really get the rage engine rolling. Now let’s come to using Minamoto in the open field and this build here makes most sense in my opinion. Then Undying Fury in the Cavalry Tree for the attack buff and last talent to get would be Mighty Force. Well, next I’d take Trophy Hunter in the Peacekeeping Tree for some nice extra treats that will add up. There are also other buffs for your march in there against barbarians so the value is right here. Curing Chant will give you a healing after each attack and llow you to stay out on the map longer and hunting down barbarians after barbarians instead of returning to your city after each attack.

Then max out the Peacekeeping Tree by getting Curing Chant on the fastest path possible. On the way there you will also pick up very useful talents like Burning Blood (even more rage) and All For One (adding active skill damage). This will restore rage with every skill and will keep your rage engine rolling with Minamoto. Now make your way to Rejuvenate in the skill tree. Insight should be your first talent to unlock, reducing the action point costs that you will have with every single attack so a great long-term invest. If you rather want to hun barbarians on the map, this is the build that I can heavily recommend. Very solid build and will give you a lot of joy when attacking forts. Then spend the last points on the Peacekeeping Tree as you can see in the image and finally make your way to the extra march speed in the Cavalry Tree. This will make your rage generation so well that it’s insane and on the way you also pick up other talents that will buff your skill damage and your troops stats as well. On the way there you will also pick up very useful talents like Burning Blood (even more rage) and All For One (adding active skill damage) Now max out the skill tree and get Feral Nature. If you want to attack barbarian forts with Minamoto as primary commander, hands down, this is the talent build that you should use.
