Carl's Rise of Legends Guide
The Doge, Ruler of Venucci
General Information:
The Doge is a powerful hero for the Vinci in Rise of Legends. He is extremely useful when attacking enemy bases due to his skills. He will be your best friend in large-scale engagements because he can quickly wipe out large numbers of enemy forces using his ultimate skill.
With him, The Doge brings an increase in unit production speeds and an increase in the battle power of units created at the glorious statue.
Here's a quick rundown of The Doge's stats:

| |||||
The Doge gets more powerful attacks but suffers from a slower firing rate. He doesn't really do more damage than any other hero, as it appears from the table above. The Doge does get a little more hp than average but it's not very much. Still, the Doge has some of the best skills of any Venci hero.
Here are The Doge's skills:
Toxic Cloud
This skill tree of The Doge has its uses in that it poisons a large area of the battlefield. Units who are within the cloud suffer the poison status affect and damage each second. This could be used to have The Doge initiate the attack then flee after poisoning a large portion of an enemy army. It can also be safely used in the heat of battle because the poison won't hurt your units.
Pain Ray
Pain ray is great against large foes. This includes heroes! Pain ray delivers a powerful single-shot punch with the Doge's pain laser which harms and stuns the targeted enemy. Its cooldown isn't that long so you can expect to use it fairly often. This is great against high level units of any sort. In Rise of Legends, at times, a large unit can cause the most damage on the battlefield because of sheer hit points. Use this skill to knock them down a notch and help your army win the battle. Used defensively, this skill can make all the difference in the world.
Siege Laser
The Doge's siege laser hits a target building and deals massive damage. At its highest level, most buildings will be destroyed in a single shot. This isn't limited to normal structures either, but also affects cities. You can expect to capture a city very quickly using this skill if you have forces nearby to help capture it. It does seem to rely on other forces being nearby for the city to go immediately from damaged to besieged. This is extremely useful for capital victories. There is a long cooldown period but it's entirely appropriate considering the tactical advantage it gives. In large battles on the enemy's territory you could use this to knock out a structure that's giving you problems (like a glass citadel).
Doge Hammer
The description of this skill says it's slow-firing. That is a big lie. The Doge's hammer skill is one of the most useful in Rise of Legends. A single shot is fired, which detonates over a very large area. All but the strongest opponents will be destroyed after this shot is fired. Some of the toughies you might expect to live will be gone for sure if you upgrade to the second level of the hammer. This increases the damage from 750 to 2000. The hammer is best used against as many enemy units as you can - so at the beginning of a battle might not be a bad idea! Just be sure the enemy is massing his forces in a single area. The cooldown is freaky-long.
