| Arrow of Iron | Deals damage to a single target and reduce the target’s attack, defense and health for 5 seconds. Next, deals damage in a front-facing cone to up to 5 enemies and reduces their attack, defense and health for 2 seconds. Direct damage is decent but the 30% def & HP reduction open the huge nuking possibilities with the secondary commander Upgrades Direct Damage Factor: 400/500/600/700/800 Attack, Defense and Health Reduction: 10%/15%/20%/25%/30% |
| Thunderous Force | Counterattack damage against your troops is reduced. When actively attacking, you have a 10% chance to reduce the movement speed of enemy cavalry and the movement speed of other troops. Slow effect lasts 3 rounds. All that AoE with secondary AoE commander is devastating. Slowing effect against high march speed enemies. Upgrades: Counterattack Damage Taken Reduction: 5%/8%/11%/15%/20% Cavalry March Speed Reduction: 20%/25%/30%/40%/50% Other Unit March Speed Reduction: 10%/15%/20%/25%/30% |

| Fortress of Mercia | When this Commander leads a rally attack, all armies joining the rally have higher troop limit. When this Commander is leading at least 3 different troop types, their damage is increased. Upgrades: Rallied Army Capacity Bonus: 2%/4%/6%/8%/10% Bonus Damage (3 Unit Types): 5%/8%/11%/15%/20% |
| Warrior Queen | Deal an extra 20% damage to enemies who have been slowed. Flat 20% attack boost, which is pretty huge. Capacity Bonus is also excellent. We are all going to use different types of troops, right? |

Disadvantages
In the beginning, you’re definitely gonna have a hard time levelling her up if you are a free-to-play player.
However, getting here to level 60 is not that important unless you are using her as the primary commander on the open-field.
It’s recommended to use her on the open field as a secondary commander mostly for be buffing advantages. Using Æthelflæd can be short-lived. She’s not tanky and this is the main reason why it’s not recommended to use her as the primary commander in wars. Her main roles in the battlefield are debuffing and slowing the enemies.
Although she offers some great bonus when she is hosting rallies, in my experience, I was being defeated by AethelFlaed.
She’s not the best commander to use for rallying structures unless you don’t really have any choice. If you are in the actual fighting, I would recommend is use other commanders that have more specificity for full archer/infantry/cavalry armies.
