Assumptions

Compatibility with the main general

Compatibility with the main general is also a consideration, so it is not possible to create an absolute ranking.

The rankings in this article do not include as a ranking factor who can be paired with whom.
Basically, the rankings are based solely on the height of the buffs.

Please also refer to the “General’s Combination Compatibility List” in this article.

Evaluation Criteria

The following 3 types.

• Evaluation 1 – Considers only Buffs
  • Add up the percentages of the 5 types of buffs: attack, defense, HP, march size, and rally capacity.
• Evaluation 2 – Considers Buffs & Skill book limitations
  • If there is a skill book that cannot be used, points are deducted from the Evaluation 1 score.
  • For example: if an attack skill book is not available, -25.
• Evaluation 3 – Considers Buffs & Skill book limitations & Debuffs
  • If a general has a debuff, its percentage is added to the score of Evaluation 2.
  • If debuffs for all types of troops, the debuff value x4.

Ranking of assistants with dragons attached

Assigning dragons to assistants is not practical for most players, so they have been excluded from the rankings.

However, they are included in the table, so if you are interested, please refer to that list.

Two types of ranking

Each general’s performance depends largely on his ability to maximize the 4 specialties. And it is difficult to maximize all 4 unless you are a heavy payer. (Reference : Specialty Guide)

Therefore, the ranking is divided into two categories: without specialties and with specialties.

• Ranking A) Basic skills only
  • Mainly for F2P (Free to Play) or players who pay a little.
• Ranking B) Basic skills + Specialty
  • Mainly for players with heavy payer.

Ranking A) Basic skills only

Mainly for F2P (Free to Play) or players who pay a little.

Specialties are not included.

Does not include additional basic skills added by ascending. (They do not add up due to the specifications.)
