Total War: Pharaoh unit tier list
Tier | Units |
|---|---|

This tier list can help you navigate and choose the best units for battle in Total War: Pharaoh.
Granted, that doesn't mean units which are not included, or the lower tier ones, should discourage you from using them. Sometimes, you have to go into battle with the units you have at your disposal and cannot choose otherwise.
This is just an overall guide to what you might want to always keep beside you while you navigate Egypt and conquer other territories!
Which are the best units in Total War: Pharaoh?
While, as mentioned, this answer might change based on the units that you have available, it is easy to guess that the Pharaoh guards are among the strongest warriors in all the realm. Clearly, they were chosen because of their strength and stamina. This means you can always count on them in battle, sometimes even against what seem to be insurmountable odds. Thanks to their Underdog ability, they might indeed come out victorious.
After Pharaoh guards, we definitely recommend making good use of Chariots. They are flexible and strong units, fast on the battlefield and able to fire in all directions. This gives them a great opportunity to do quick (but significant) damage on the battlefield. If you're going to request chariots, better go all-in and ask for the best of them: the Royal ones.
