Basic Specifications

Requirements for use

  • An assistant can be attached to an attacker and defender.
  • When attaching an assistant to an attacker, the main general must have a level of at least 20 and a star level of at least 3.
  • When attaching an assistant to a defender, there is no requirement for the level or star level of the main general.

Only Basic Skills, Skill Book, Specialty, Covenant, Skin are valid

  • 5 of the assistant’s performances that are valid are as follows.
    • Basic skill (star level 0-5)
    • Skill book
    • Specialty
    • Covenant
    • Skin
  • The following are invalid.
    • Additional Skills of Red Star 1-5 due to star level ascension
    • Equipment
    • Stats (Leadership / Attack / Defense / Politics)
    • Spiritual Beast
    • Dragon

In other words, there is no need to raise the star level of the assistant.
If you do not add a specialty, you do not need to raise the general’s level. If you want to add a specialty, you need to make it to level 25.

  • An assistant general’s basic skill and skill books are disabled if they conflict with the main general’s basic skill and skill books.
Examples of conflicting with basic skills of the main general
  • Any of the assistant general’s basic skills or specialties whose activation condition is to attach a dragon to the assistant general are
    • activated by attaching a dragon to the assistant general (tested).
    • not activated by attaching a dragon to the main general (tested).
Skills for which attaching a dragon is a trigger condition

Glitches currently being found

Very unfortunately, several glitches have been identified and are summarized here to reduce the damage.

  • Generals with Double drop rate increases
    • Bibars, Theodora, and Cleopatra
    • Double drop rate does not increase when set as an assistant.
    • I have tested and confirmed the following.
      • Using Bibars (skill only, no equipment), 20 normal monsters were killed and the number of double drops was investigated.
      • Expected double drop rate is 40% = 25% skill + 15% VIP
      • ver. 4.26.2
        • When solo: double drop count 8
          • -> 40%
        • When assistant: double drop count 2
          • -> 10%
    • No announcement from Evony team, but it was fixed. I confirmed that it does not occur in ver. 4.29.0.
      • Vip+Bibars (DD expectation 40%) -> 30 normal monsters killed, DD 12 times.

  • Shajar al-Durr
    • The “Food Protected from Troop Upkeep” does not increase when set as an assistant. The trouble is that it is not increasing internally, although it is increasing when looking at the Warehouse detail screen. When the game is restarted, the food will decrease. (If you have more food than the original limit.)
    • No announcement from Evony team, but it was fixed. I confirmed that it does not occur in ver. 4.26.2.
  • Generals who increase March Speed
    • Seleucus I, Huo Qubing, Spartacus, etc.
    • When set as an assistant general, the march time is reduced on the soldier selection screen, but it is not actually reduced. If you look at the march bar in the upper left corner after departure, you will see that it has not decreased.
    • No announcement from Evony team, but it was fixed. I confirmed that it does not occur in ver. 4.26.2.

There may be more, so if you have any information, I would appreciate it if you could share it with me in the comments section.

Cases in which Skill & Skill Book are disabled

  1. When Skill & Skill Conflict
  2. When Skill & Skill Book Conflict
  3. When Skill Book & Skill Book Conflict

When Skill & Skill Conflict

If the main general’s skills and assistant’s skills are similar.

Basically, it seems that those with similar properties and buff values compete with each other.

However, the detailed criteria are not quite clear, so you will have to actually try it to see if it conflicts. (See the table later in this article for the results of combining the various generals.)

Example: Basic skills of assistant are disabled (both, ranged and siege attack)

Left: Main General Simeon the Great
Right: Assistant General Alfred the Great

When Skill & Skill Book Conflict

If the skill of either the main general or the assistant general is similar to that of his/her partner’s skill book.

If the problematic skill book is attached to the main general

For example, if the main general has a skill book of an attack, and the assistant’s basic skill is an attack, skill may be invalidated.

In this case, changing the main general’s skill book for an attack to another one will make the assistant’s basic skill effective.

And this is quite important.

Sometimes the skill book in issue can be made effective if it is attached to an assistant instead of to the main general. (Only some generals)

Basically, if an assistant skill is grayed out because of the main general’s skill book, that skill book often cannot be attached to an assistant. However, in rare cases, it can be attached to an assistant.

For example, if you want to attach the assistant Trajan to the main general Elise, you need to attach the ground HP to Trajan instead of to Elise. This way, both Trajan’s basic skill and the ground HP skill book can be enabled. Attaching ground HP to Elise would disable Trajan’s basic skill.

If the problematic skill book is attached to the assistant general

Example: Skill books of assistant are disabled (both, mounted attack)

Left: Main General Martinus
Right: Assistant General Roland (+ Mounted Attack Skill Book)

In this case, it is the assistant’s skill book that is grayed out, not the main general’s skill.

Therefore, if the assistant’s skill is grayed out when paired with the main general with the skill book, try switching the main general and the assistant. If it is due to the skill book and the skills are not in conflict, then both skills will be valid.

When Skill Book & Skill Book Conflict

When the same skill book is attached to both the main general and the assistant general.

Even if they have different levels of skill books, they are still competing with each other.

RSS gathering / plunder

Test result: whether the assistant’s skill that requires a dragon is triggered or not

For example, among Minamoto no Yoshitsune’s basic skills, the ranged troops attack buff +15% is only effective when the dragon is attached.

So, if we have Minamoto no Yoshitsune as an assistant, will this “buff that requires a dragon” work?

The description of the assistant in the game states that “Assistant Generals still need to equip dragon to activate corresponding buffs”.

However, even if I attach a dragon to an assistant, the assistant’s dragon icon is grayed out. This makes it hard to tell if it is really triggered or not.

Therefore, I did the following test.

Test date: 7/4/2022 / ver 4.26.2

Change in ranged troops attack buffs with and without dragons

I attacked NPC subordinate citiy and checked the buff value in the battle report.

Basic setting

General’s Ranged Troops Attack Buff
Main GenAssistant (Minamoto)
Basic SkillNoneBasic buff +25%
Requires dragon +15%
Total +40%
Skill bookNoneNone
SpecialtyNoneBasic buff +12%
Dragon’s Ranged Soldier Attack Buff
  • Stats buff: +23%.
  • Refine buff: +20%.
  • Total: +43%.

* The stats buff is 20% of the dragon’s attack stats. Alternatively, it can be calculated by removing the dragon and taking the difference between the attack values on the general’s cultivation screen.

Buff value on battle report

Comparison with and without assistant general’s dragon

Main General’s Dragon: None

  • Assistant General’s Dragon
    • With: +611%
    • Without: +596%

The difference is 15%. This is consistent with Minamoto no Yoshitsune’s figures for the buffs required by the dragon.

Comparison with and without main general’s dragon

Assistant General’s Dragon: None

  • Main General’s Dragon
    • With: +639%
    • Without: +596%

Difference 43%. Matches the buff value by dragon. Minamoto Yoshitsune’s buffs requiring a dragon did not add up.

Therefore, any of the assistant’s basic skills or specialties that are activated by attaching a dragon to the assistant are activated by attaching a dragon to an assistant general. They are not activated by attaching a dragon to the main general.

Hi!

Haakon is compatible with Cheng Yaojin, Jayavarman II and Andre Massena.

Stephen is pairing with Gunther.
Stephen – HP, siege bonus, march size
Gunther – Defense, march speed, luck

Some pairs. Will Stephen II make the Best General Combinations list?

got 3 more Stephen (luck – used 4 scrolls of epic generals). Will try to use for rally small/big siege. For the covenant 2 generals are already ready (attributes 1400+) – so I will immediately activate level 4.

Question: Can I appoint an assistant John Hunyadi (the covenant is improved to the maximum), or are there better options?

P.S. only for rally attacks of a small siege (I rarely use a big one),

Thank you again!
John Hunyadi can be made an assistant as shown in the screenshot you sent me.
However, Theobald I, Gunther, Melisande, and Theodosius I are better.
(Note: It has not been confirmed that they can be paired with Gunther and Melisande.)

See the following article for a summary of the assistant’s buff values.
Best of Assistant Generals: Siege PvP

In addition, regarding Matthias I.
If you make the main a Matthias I and the assistant an Stephen II, they may be paired.
(You can’t pair them if the main general has a march size skill book.)
(If it is the other way around, they might be able to pair up. The assistant’s March size skill book would just be grayed out.)

Thanks for the advice!

I read the information in the link.
But in my opinion, considering “March/Rally – Basic Skills + Specialty + Covenant” – John Hunyadi is better than Matthias I. Besides I didn’t plan to add stars (don`t have fragments ), but now Stephen II has fragments for upgrading +2 red stars (thanks to Evony for changing the world boss event +3 premium generals scrolls in 2 days).

Our server is 1 year old. More and more often there are opponents who are not without a small siege squad. For 3 weeks I’ve been racking my brains over who to choose, and I’ve already started improving “what I have”.
Generals for siege (tavern/relic) – one is worse than the other… Generals with a covenant are problematic. There is not always a general needed by the covenant and there is also a limited place. I have 5 generals with a full covenant – this is already a small crowd of 20 people.

I was looking for a quick solution without the need for maximum improvement. There were no such options.

John Hunyadi (full covenant, specialty lvls 5/4/3/0, equipment imperial+parthian) + Stephen II (without Specialty, only Covenant level 4 upgrades) immediately showed better results than with Theodosius I (Philip II is even worse).
Attack buffs are finally above 1100%, defense and HP are above 700%, the covenant requires useful PVP generals.
Stephen II + Theobald I – This is the solution I was looking for. Siege generals for March/Rally with “minimally acceptable results for PVP use”. (buff 1200/800/800)

I got Theobald I a few days ago 😀 . I didn’t even remember about him until I read here). He will be my assistant. But already spent the covenant stones on Stephen II… So I’ll use John Hunyadi for now and will soon replace him with Theobald I.
I’m lucky! For the Theobald I covenant have 2 generals that already give 10 000 atributs (the third general is in the bag).

And I have one more question. Is there a list of generals with “useful covenant (unconditional)”?

For example:
John Hunyadi’s has some of the best covenant attributes (unconditional), and to keep the covenant bonuses + he has ideal parameters for a market guard (duty)

Mu Guiying and her level 2 covenant (no problem to improve), Suchet (level 2 covenant + general of the same covenant as Theobald I), Isaac Brock…?

I am glad that I was able to help you.
My intention in commenting on the Matthias was because in the screenshot you gave me (Stephen II + Matthias), the assistant Matthias’ skills were grayed out due to the march size skill book that came with Stephen II. I just wanted to say that this does not prove that they cannot be paired, but that there is still a possibility that they can be paired. I did not mean to suggest using Matthias.
There is currently no listing for “useful covenant (unconditional)”. I will consider it!

Thank you!
George Monk is OK with any of the skill books on Mounted defense, HP, or March speed, even if they are attached to a pair generals, so the skill books are not the cause.

Good day. Can I check for compatibility with General Suchet?

You are doing ao much with this page, please continue to do it ! Godbless you

Raimondo can be paired with Theobalr I, but Siege Attack skill book will disable Raimondo main skill if added to Theobald I. Also you can’t add Siege Attack skill book to Raimondo

Evonyaprentice

can anybody please help me with Caesar. I have 1 red star ascended with dragon but don’t know who to pair with for monster slaying. I have Washington prime, poligenus, Roland,Hannibal and a few others but can’t work out best combination, who to lead and what still book combo. please can somebody advise, I’m currently monarch level 29 just started working on dragon gear with 4 pieces✌️

sirrocool

Hi, examples are given in the general combinations section (Combo C)!
https://evonyguidewiki.com/en/list-of-generals-worth-hiring-en/
For double drop maximisation add Baibars, for stamina saving Nathaniel Greene as assistants. Since Caesar is freely available in the Mayan event, i would suggest to collect his fragments and ascend him for use as main general. You started that already 😉
For stronger bosses you can attach a strong mounted assistant to Caesar.
Washington prime for example (increases march size), or Beowulf, Sanada etc, which give additional monster debuffs (Beowulfs’ first Covenant ;-)!)
Depending on the alternative use of the assistants select the skill books.
If you use Baibars, you cannot attach a luck skill book, and Caesar does not take the attack against monsters book (that book on the assistant will be greyed out).
If you use a strong mounted assistant I would use Luck, mounted -defence and -HP on monsters on Caesar. Mounted -attack, -HP and march size or march speed on the assistant. That way you can use the assistant for pvp or as main general too.
If you use Nathaniel Greene, give him the Luck book. The mounted attack book for Caesar in this case then.
Hope that helps 😉

There seems to be a bug with Miltiades Where his specialties do not show up as an assistant general. See these screenshots, one of which is him as the assistant general and the other is his detailed screen.

EVOVY FOR FUN

hi,

can you test shrine if Additional Skills of Red Star 1-5 due to star level ascension working with assistance general? I see that many using red stars in assistants generals

Anonymous

red stars on assistants could means a couple things:

1) the person doesn’t know it doesn’t work

or

2) the person realized that general is impractical for them to ascend fully and use as a main general and they already had specialties done, so it was moved to assistant

assistant generals only benefit from: main skill + specialties. no ascensions, no generals attributes, no equipment, no spirit beasts/dragons (unless their main skill requires a spirit beast/dragon to activate, then THAT part counts).

Hi,

I have Jadwiga(2 red stars) as my main general, I still have not found William Marshall… I am using Jadwiga becuase i have Desert Golden Palace which gives seige bonus. also i have T1 cav meat currently at 50M, will be taking it to 150 M+. Can you suggest a secondary wall for me.. Please.. Currently During PVP i use Washinton Prime(Who is normally my Mount attack General) as secondary… I am also thinking about Khalid which gives both +15 Mount attack and seige buffs…

I have always referred to your site.
I have confirmed the compatibility of Sigurd with Kaguya, Simeon, and Edward III, and I will post the images.

OK: Kaguya
OK: Simeon
NOT: Edward III

Hi,

Marco Polo works fine with André Masséna but does not work with Jayavarman II

Miltiades works with both Suchet and Frigg. I used the wall test to check. I have re-submitted my comment with the screenshots. I do not have a copy of Freyja to test. You are correct, he cannot be used with Sweyn and Turenne.

Miltiades works with both Frigg and Suchet. Using the wall test with Miltiades as main or assistant, the main skills for both generals remain active. I apologize I cannot post the screenshots at this time. Also, you are correct, he does not work with Turenne or Sweyn. I apologize, I do not have a copy of Freyja to perform the wall test.

This is a combination of Miltiades with Frigg, Suchet and Freyja.
All are OK.

I paired Gunther with Mu Guiying. As noted you cannot attach Siege attack with Mu Guiying, but I put Siege Attack, Defense and HP on Gunther, and Siege range, March size and speed on Mu, seems to pair correctly.

Can you send me a screenshot of those two set up as a wall defense pair?

I just tried it and Mu’s skills are still grayed out. Clearly, a message appeared stating that it conflicts with the Siege Attack Skill Book. (Petronas with Siege Attack Skill Book attached and Mu as his assistant.)

Subutai can work with Alfred the Great, Mason Weaver, Tomyris and Wallenstein.

Raimondo and Theodosius I work together fine just fine. Pity that we can’t have siege attack with them together.

I use minamoto as main and charles as assistent. on your preliminary report said skilbook range attack can be added.

yes it can be added but it’s not functioning. the range attack become grey, disabled :'(

I checked James Conrad with Merlin, and the primary skill is active for both generals.

Thank you for your continued support. I’m uploading this, although it may have already been posted.

On pairing with Hestia
Custer, Zhao Yun, and Roland are acceptable.

Oda Nobunaga and Carus were also there.
Oda Nobunaga is impossible.

I have 6 that are wanted and will share them with you. Only Epameinondas was not possible.

Is Melisande compatible with Edward Teach?
Main: Edward
assistant: melisande

Thanks as always for your support.
These are Raimondo, Petronas, Surena, and Ramesses: ☺️

Thank you for everything.
This is Bouillon and Eleanor.
Eleanor is grayed out, but I think if I remove themarch size from Bouillon, it will be effective.

I got a new bouillon and checked again and it was fine: ☺️

Hi, thank you for all your help.
He seems that he can work with Mason.
I will be changing my ranged assistant to Bouillon.

Do skins apply for Assistant generals? Dont see that mentioned anywhere.

のんだくれ

Yoshitsune and Simeon, I had checked them last night but did not send them, so I am sending them to you.
I also confirmed the combination with Louis IX and Tomylis. Louis IX and Tomylis were not combinable if Bouillon is given the attack skill.

のんだくれ

This is a combination of Bouillon and other ranged general.
In the past, a basic buff type general could not be paired with a general of the same type or a general with an attack skill, but Bouillon can be paired with a general of the same type. At least, there is no general that cannot be paired with bouillon in my possession.
Also, Bouillon can be given attack skills.
I just hope there is no silent change.

Hola los felicito en su nueva mejora del juego pero hay un punto y es molesto la barrita nueva que pusieron en negro deberían de regresarla a la anterior ocupa mucha en la visión del mapa, oh hacerla más transparente que se vea el campo y mejorar la opción de la pestaña de la flechita que si uno le pica no se vea la barra , por qu es ke pica uno y cuando regresa una marcha de haber derrotado al Moustro oh una tropa enemiga se vuelve a ver la barrita negra nueva. Yo la haría más transparente y lo negro alrededor de la marcha quitarlo tapa la visión. El juego esta de 100 me gusta mucho en verdad

I do not see Pyrrhus in the ground PvP section at all. Some players debate he is one of best ground assistants. What’s your opinion good Sir?

Hi admin

Thanks for details.
The images attached does not include new generals. Do you have updated images(excel table). Like Suchet.

Beowulf and Theodora, Jayavarman and others, and combinations confirmed by screenshots.

Anonymous

Hi!

Beowulf is compatible with Theodora, Jayavarman II and André Masséna.

John Churchill and Alfred the Great cannot work together
John Churchill and Tomyris cannot work together
These surprised me. You may want to test Churchill with other ranged for combo marches

Jayavarman II + Lysander Unable
Jayavarman II + King Arthur okay
King Arthur + Jayavarman II okay
It is like this.

This is a combination of Jayavarman II and King Arthur/Lysander.
