Order of Kings Blade Promotion Guide: Dual Blade Infantry Combat Role & Hero Pairing Analysis

2026-02-11

Greetings, Lords! On the grand sandbox battlefield of Order of Kings, relying on a single Unit Type often isn't enough to handle the ever-changing tide of war. As your conquests progress, Unit Promotion becomes a key feature for boosting your Troops' combat power. In addition to the four basic Unit Types—Blade, Cavalry, Archer, and Spearman—the game offers diverse promotion paths. Today, let’s take a deep dive into the "meat grinder" of the blade lineage—Dual Blade Infantry—and see how this aggressive unit can wreak havoc on the battlefield.

I. Unlocking the Unit: Elite Forces Start with the Basics

To command this elite force, Lords must meet two essential requirements. First, you'll need to spend a certain amount of Commander Tokens, which is the foundation for Unit Promotion. Second, the Commanders you assign must reach the required Commander Level. After all, only Battle Hardened Commanders can truly harness the fierce Offensive power of the Dual Blade Infantry.

 

II. Combat Role: Long-Range, High-Damage, Spearman Counter

As the third-tier blade unit in Order of Kings, Dual Blade Infantry boast distinct advantages. Compared to regular Swordsmen, they have three core strengths: increased attack range, a significant advantage against Spearmen, and bonus direct damage.

In actual combat, Dual Blade Infantry are more than just a frontline shield—they serve as a hidden damage dealer. Thanks to their extended range, they don't need to engage in face-to-face melee like traditional infantry. Instead, they can attack from behind Caltrop Barricades or take cover behind your own heavy Troops to "strike from a distance." Especially when facing Enemy Armies with Spearman-heavy Formations, the Dual Blade Infantry’s high counter rate and damage boost allow them to unleash explosive burst damage, making them the true "Spearman Killers" on the field.

 

III. Hero Pairing: Who Are the Best Partners for Dual Blade Infantry?

A great unit deserves a great Commander. Here are two Heroes who pair exceptionally well with Dual Blade Infantry:

1. Lu Xun: The Tactical Genius of Blazing Camps

Lu Xun is highly compatible with blade units, allowing him to maximize their potential. His Skill set delivers both Magic Damage and scaling damage over time.

In the Order of Kings combat system, pairing Lu Xun with Dual Blade Infantry is a perfect match. By leveraging the extended range of Dual Blade Infantry and Lu Xun’s high-burst Skills, you can avoid some Melee damage while dealing devastating strikes to enemy Spearmen from a safe distance, quickly wiping out key Enemy Army units.

2. Fan Kuai: The Relentless Vanguard with Defense-Penetrating Strikes

Another blade specialist, Fan Kuai excels at dealing Physical Damage and can Ignore DEF (defense penetration).

Once Fan Kuai is promoted to lead Dual Blade Infantry, this combination becomes a true Offensive powerhouse. The range advantage of Dual Blade Infantry gives Fan Kuai more space to deal damage, while his Ignore DEF trait, paired with the unit’s high damage boost, allows him to cut through frontline tanks like a hot knife through butter. If you want to secure a Troop advantage from the very start, Fan Kuai leading Dual Blade Infantry is your go-to choice.

 

All in all, Dual Blade Infantry are the ultimate counter to Spearman-based strategies. By making full use of their range and burst potential, they can deliver game-changing results. That concludes our guide to Dual Blade Infantry promotion in Order of Kings. For more combat tips and the latest news, Lords are welcome to visit the official website at ook.dequgames.com for details.
