Evaluation Criteria
For ground troops, attack, HP, defense, and march size are all important by their nature.
Therefore, generals with high values in these 4 areas are ranked higher.
The following 2 types are listed below, but the rankings are sorted by evaluation 1.
- 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 & Debuffs
- If a general has a debuff, its percentage is added to the score of Evaluation 1.
- If debuffs for all types of troops, the debuff value x4.
Two types of rankings
Some buffs that each general has are not valid if they are used as reinforcements to an ally’s castle or if they are made defenders of their own castle. (For more information: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide)
In other words, some generals have “march/rally and “Reinforcements/Defenders” have very different performances.
For this reason, the ranking is divided between these 2 types.
Buffs by Skillbook
Basically, it is assumed that by using an assistant, the following 6 types are attached.
Attack, Defense, HP, Speed, March size, March Speed (Lv4 for each).
In other words, it is basically assumed that there will be no difference depending on the skill book.
However, if a general has a skill book that cannot be added, it is excluded from the buff value.
A) for March & Rally
Overall Rating
For when marching or rallying, I recommend Miltiades, Totila, Suchet.
Next are Frigg, Lu Xun, Ludwig, Sweyn Forkbeard, Aurelian, Pyrrhus, Elise.
Frigg, Sweyn, Pyrrhus are slightly inferior to the others, but their strength is that they are almost never weakened when they reinforce their allies’ castles or when they are wall defenders. The others are greatly weakened.
For non-paying, Lu Xun and Pyrrhus.
They are not available at the tavern, but are available at the Trial of Knights event (Blood of Ares consuming return event). (as of 8/23/2024.) However, it is unclear how long he will be available.
1. Totila

- Score 1 (Atk + Def + HP + MS + RC): 1180.2
- Score 2 (Score1 + Debuff): 1190.2
Very similar to Suchet + Skin.
Attack is about the same, defense is superior, and HP is inferior.
Slightly fewer generals can be paired than Suchet. (Combination compatibility)
Since he has many “marching buffs” instead of “basic buffs”, he is greatly weakened when used as a reinforcement to an ally’s castle or as a wall defender. (Reference: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide)
2. Miltiades
Ground Buff (%)
| Atk | Def | HP | March Size | Rally Capacity | Debuff | |

Score 1 (Atk + Def + HP + MS + RC): 1177.6
Score 2 (Score1 + Debuff): 1193.6
Strength when marching is about the same as Totila.
Score 1 values are slightly inferior to Totila.
Score 2 is slightly higher than Totila’s.
However, unlike Totila, he is hardly weakened during reinforcements or when he is a wall defender, as most of the buffs are basic buffs.
(See the section on reinforcements below for detailed buff values.)
He would be below Totila when sorted by score 1, but overall, I personally feel that Miltiades is better than Totila.
3. Suchet (+Skin)
Ground Buff (%)
| Atk | Def | HP | March Size | Rally Capacity | Debuff | |
| by Stats (Lv40 / 5 Red Star / Cultivate +500) | 216.6 | 213.4 | 224 | – | – | – |

- Score 2 (Score1 + Debuff): 1189
The score is slightly better than the Lu Xun score.
He can be paired with more generals than Lu Xun. (Combination compatibility)
However, his buffing during reinforcements is much worse than Lu Xun’s. (described later)
Since he has many “marching buffs” instead of “basic buffs”, he is greatly weakened when used as a reinforcement to an ally’s castle or as a wall defender. (Reference: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide)
4. Frigg
Ground Buff (%)

(Unavailable Skillbook: Attack)
- Score 1 (Atk + Def + HP + MS + RC): 1134.4
- Score 2 (Score1 + Debuff): 1174.4
She is a basic buff type and has a very high evaluation score despite the fact that she cannot attach an attack skill book.
Compared to other top generals, she has relatively low attack and high defense and HP.
All of the buffs are “basic buff”, so he is never weakened when he is used as a reinforcement for an ally’s castle or as a defender of a wall.
5. Lu Xun
Ground Buff (%)
| Atk | Def | HP | March Size | Rally Capacity | Debuff | |

- Score 2 (Score1 + Debuff): 1132
Compared to Ludwig, it outperforms him in Attack & Defense, and slightly less in HP & March Size.
Also, since he has many “marching buffs” instead of “basic buffs”, he is greatly weakened when used as a reinforcement to an ally’s castle or as a wall defender. (Reference: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide)
6. Ludwig

Note that if the dragon cannot be attached, it is weaker than the above.
Also, since he has many “marching buffs” instead of “basic buffs”, he is greatly weakened when used as a reinforcement to an ally’s castle or as a wall defender. (Reference: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide)

It seems to be a higher version of Pyrrhus, Turenne, Trajan.
In the absence of covenants, it is almost as good as Pyrrhus.
All of the buffs are “basic buff”, so he is never weakened when he is used as a reinforcement for an ally’s castle or as a defender of a wall.
Nonetheless, he can be given a skill book of attack, defense, and HP.
He can also be paired with most generals. (Combination Compatibility)

In Score 1, he is slightly inferior to Ludwig. However,
in Score 2, he is surpassing Ludwig.
Also, since he has many “marching buffs” instead of “basic buffs”, he is greatly weakened when used as a reinforcement to an ally’s castle or as a wall defender. (Reference: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide)

Rated about the same as Elise.
She has better defense & rally capacity than Elise and less attack & march size.
Also, since he has many “marching buffs” instead of “basic buffs”, he is greatly weakened when used as a reinforcement to an ally’s castle or as a wall defender. (Reference: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide)

It seems to be a higher version of Scipio and Soult.
Despite the fact that he cannot add a skill book for attack, his total buff value is almost the same as Scipio’s.
However, unlike Scipio, all of the buffs are “basic buff”, so the fact that it is not weakened at all when it is used as a reinforcement for an ally’s castle or as a defender of a wall is a big advantage.
Soult is also a “basic buff” type, but Turenne’s total buff value is higher.

B) for Reinforce to alliance member’s city & Wall Defender (dual role with attacker)
When a reinforcement to alliance member’s city, or a wall defender, the “marching buff” (“when General is leading the army to attack” buff) is disabled.
(See this article for details: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide)
Overall Rating
When reinforcing an alliance member’s city,
I recommend Freyja, Miltiades.
(However, Freyja is not recommended if you are also using her as an attacker or wall defender.)
Then, Frigg, Sweyn Forkbeard, Pyrrhus.

She has an unusual buff called the Outcity Defense Buff (details), and is tops in all scores 1 and 2 by a long shot only when she is reinforcing an allied member’s castle or defending a building.
She is greatly weakened when defending your own castle or when attacking.
(For buff values during attacks, see the list in Section A: for March/Rally.)

When she is a wall defender, she is very weak because he loses most of her buffs.

In addition to being mostly basic buffs, the covenant buffs have reinforcement buffs, so he is stronger than when marching or rallying.

Not only is it not weakened at all, but it is stronger than when marching or rallying.
The 4th of specialty is an in-city buff, which means that it will be effective when he is a wall defender or reinforcement to an ally’s castle. (It is not valid during marches or rallies.)

Note – Weaknesses of Totila, Suchet, Lu Xun, Ludwig, Aurelian, Alessandra, Elise, Scipio, Guan Yu
They perform significantly worse when they are not “attacking (marching)”, i.e., when they are reinforcements (alliance member’s city) or defense generals on wall.
If you are using them as your main general, some players may need to train a separate general for reinforcements.
Note – The following cases are no problem. Attack buffs (march buffs) are applied.
– When participating in a rally / starting a rally by yourself
– When sending reinforcements / defending / attacking an occupied building on the map (Portal, Temple, etc.),
Detailed explanation: Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide
Note – Versatility of Miltiades, Frigg, Sweyn Forkbeard, Pyrrhus, Turenne, Soult, Trajan, Epaminondas
Their skills and specialties are always fully demonstrated, not just when attacking.
Therefore, it is also excellent when used as a Reinforcement & Defense general. (Reference: Best of Defense General (Wall))
If your defense general isn’t growing up enough, it’s good enough to use them in a dual role. (Although it is troublesome to put it on and off the defense general each time)
Note – Robert the Bruce
If you look at just the basic skills, he seems to be a good ground PvP (attack) general, but assuming the specialty is maxed out, he is not a good PvP (attack) general because the 4th specialty is only active when he is a defense general or reinforcing allies castle.

———————————–
It is already listed in both Section A and B.
Do you know whether the Covenant buffs work for assistant generals? They are substantial enough that it would make the new generals much better assistants than older generals whose covenant buffs haven’t been released yet (such as Souchet vs Lu Xun).
It works.
Assistant Generals Guide
Did you consider the covenant extra buffs when comparing Swyen and Suchet with others?
it’s possible to ad Suchet+sking please?
Can you add Freyja to the list?
I can confirm Aurelian can have both Ground Attack and Ground HP skill books. My wife was lucky enough to get him randomly from Helen’s rewards.
I can send a screenshot via twitter if you like.
Thanks for the info!😃
This and your other “best of” general guides are excellent! Thank you!!
How did you calculate the “stats” number? For example, you show Robert the Bruce attack as 212 level 4, 10 star and fully cultivated. EvonyTKR guide shows him at 1484 (that’s for 5 star: to compare apples to apples at 10 star it would be 1434).
Either way, 212 is neither the number increase from base or percent increase, and I can’t figure out what you used to come up with this number. Can you explain? I appreciate it!
Sorry for the typo: 10 star Robert the Bruce apples to apples would be 1534. Awaiting your reply!
Hello.
Who do you think would be a good assistant for Elise?
According to the list of combinations, Soult and Basil have buffs for attack, but Trajan has both defense and HP.
For infantry, defense and HP are important, so I wonder if Trajan is the better choice, but I would also like to hear the administrator’s personal opinion.
Thank you in advance.
It is listed below

Best of Assistant Generals: Ground PvP
I feel as though not ranking Robert the Bruce as a reinforcement general is a big miss. Many of these generals lose buffs when reinforcing other people players keeps and are only active if they are reinforcing a building, whereas Robert the Bruce has active buffs in both
That’s right. I missed it and added it to the ranking.
I am just trying to pair Elise with Maeda Toshiie and his basic skill does not work with Elise’s Dragon song, this been patched since his release?
Soult + Scipio yes ?? XD
Soult has 95% attack, 50% hp, and 40% defense without skill books… What do you think about him reinforcing or as a assistant general as compared to Trajan? This is with five stars and fully developed…
When fully developed with 5 stars.
With Soult as an assistant, it is slightly superior to Trajan (buff +8%). Despite not being able to attach an attack skill book.
(Soult(+185%), Trajan(+152%+25% attack skillbook))

For reinforcements, when comparing the following, Soult as main is slightly better (buff +12%).
Main: Soult(+865.2%), assistant: Trajan(+152%)
Main: Trajan(+820.2%), assistant: Soult(+185%)
(Compare the sum of Attack + Def + HP + March size + Rally capacity + Skillbook)
If you had three generals. Soult, Elise, and Trajan… Which of these three would you make your main general and which would you make your assistant general? If reinforcing other players was the most important thing to you. Fully developed 10 stars for the main general and the assistant general with fully developed specialties. This would include the skill books.
Guan Yu, has a bigger attack than Elise, look at the 4th star of the nod.
How do you feel about Soult? The new general.
I added him, please see B-1.
I noticed that B1 doesn’t have the main gold skill book buffs in those numbers… Soult has 35% attack, 15% hp, and 15% defense… Am I missing something?
It is included in “Skill (Awakened)”.
Aren’t stars six through ten only functional for the main general? I thought the only things that count on the assistant general was main skill book, regular skill books, and specialties… So awakened wouldn’t matter on the assistant general… Am I wrong?
? I am not saying that the assistant’s awakening is functional. This article is a ranking of main generals, not assistants.
Here is the ranking of ground assistants.
Late to the game. But I want to know who’s better pvp Elise or Trojan. I can’t decide who max out
Elise is better
Thoughts on Basil II?
He is not recommended. Because even if he is raised to focus on either ground troops or mounted troops, the buffs will only be halfway there.
He is not as good as the top ranked generals above.
In level 40, with all specializations, and 500 of cultivation, without adding additional skills, as it’s not affecting, Scipio is having 268% HP, 289% Attack and 245% defense. Elise is having 291% HP, 300% attack and 215% defense. Only advantage of scipio is the march size, but in my opinion Elise is stronger than Scipio, and if reinforces much better. I would put her on first place.
Completely agree on Elise’s figures. But for Skipio I calculate Att=259, HP=284, Def=245.
My interpretation of these figures is that maybe Skipio is a little better against ranged and siege. While Elise may be little better against ground and mounted.
And of course Elise is by far better in reinforcing .
Hi. What’s your opinion on Scipio reinforcing buildings and temples vs Trajan?
I think Scipio is superior.
Sorry, my question wasn’t clear. Scipio’s buffs pretty much go poof when he’s only reinforcing players or also builds and temples?
No, he is not weakened in battles in temples or other buildings. In buildings, marching buffs apply in all offensive, reinforcement, and defensive battles.
See below for details.
Buff / Debuff – Basic Guide
Comparing Skipio vs Elise,,,is there any insight of who is overall more efficient for offensive game (i.e. attacking with your ground march)?
Would you post your list of reinforcing generals like your other pages? I’m interested to see who you think top 1 to 10 is.
I added it. 😃
is Yue Fei any good?
Out of ranking.
My understanding is that Alexander the Great potentially has the best stats in the game in terms of base stats + increase. As generals get to higher and higher levels wouldn’t that be important and worthy of a mention here?
It is true that his HP and attack stats are on the higher side, but even taking that into account, his buffs from skills and specialties are too low to make up for that buff difference.
For more details, please refer to the supplementary information I added to the Alexander the Great section of the main text.
Hi,
Could you update the ranking with Elise’s skin?
Added.👍
is Nordic Barbarian King qualified for Ground PvP ?
No. He should be mayor.
What do you think about Elise for reinforcing?
I think she is also excellent when reinforcing.
With -30% HP, it’s a close race for Trajan and Empaminondas. If you want to focus on offensive power, go with Elise; if you want to focus on durability, go with Trajan or Empaminondas.
However, Elise is excellent in both marching and reinforcements, so she is the only one from that perspective, and I think she is a very good general.
I’m in the process of training Elise, and even though I have Elise’s specialty, Dragontamer, set to Genius, it still shows 12%. In portrait, it’s 30%, which is correct?
Hi and thank you for this very useful guide.
With regards to ground generals, why Yue Fei is not considered at all?
If you consider only 3 specialties, he is inferior to the 2nd ranked Peter the Great.
If you maximize 4 specialties, he is inferior to the 7th ranked Nobunaga Oda.
Even if you don’t consider specialty at all, he is inferior to Trajan.
It is not recommended to choose Yue Fei instead of Trajan or Scipio.
Yue Fei es un general de Montados o Caballeria Amigo disculpe
Please tell me about Scipio and Calus. At the time of pvp, I think that mixed troops are common, but when attacking at a ratio of 2 ground + 6 ranged + 2 siege, I think that Calus is stronger than Scipio because it uses the attack up buff of all troops. How about that? ?? Please let me know if you have any recommendations for Scipio and Callus, and the composition ratio.
I think you are right, but I think you should change your general to a ranged troop type in the first place, because that organization is mainly ranged troop.
Reference: Best of Ranged PvP General
It is common to specialize in one type of troop formation as you progress through the later stages of the game. (Strictly speaking, only the layers are mixed.)
If you want to use a ground troop type general, I think about 90% ground troops and 10% other troop types are appropriate. (Include troops of all levels, and make the number of troops an inverted pyramid. (=Layers))
Hey could you please give advice or write about using Scipio and Trajan on wall because I see many big player using them on wall?
If you want a defender that focuses on ground troops, Trajan is excellent.
Scipio is not suitable as a defender because his skills and specialties cannot be fully utilized when defending.

What about new general Carus?
I added it to the article😃.
ANY GOOD equipment for trajan, is he good to add celtic demon dragon
It is best to equip a sword or something with a ground troop buff to the base attribute.
It works well with Celtic Demon, but if you don’t have a Lardon and you are raising a ranged troop general, it is often more useful to assign him/her to that.

Dear 222
I love that kind of Japanese spirit. 😀
But I want to be strong, so I am doing what the administrator says, inadvertently and surely.
Hi, regarding Scipio skill books, I am using ground speed, defense and hp. some says speed not needed and replace with attack. What is your suggestion. I thought its important to reach archers asap so used speed. once ground reach them even low attack of ground should take care of them, as def/hp are weak of archers.
Or should I keep speed and replace def or hp with attack?
Hi Naimul.😃
I have the same idea as you. (I prioritize speed, HP, defense)
Please take a look at the following article for an explanation of the skills you should put on a ground general.

Thanks for the response. Nice to know you think the same :D.
I will stick to it for now.
It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Author. I always refer to your various articles and enjoy playing your games every day.
I was hoping to get an Africanus, but now I understand that Trajan is just as good!
I’ll be sure to get him when he shows up in the tavern!
Since there are articles on archers and infantry, it would be nice to see some of the best cavalry generals!
Just published an article on the best generals in the cavalry! 😃
Best of Mounted PvP General
I got Nobunaga just because he’s Japanese like me, and I’ve been training him in a subordinate city, but looking at it this way, there’s an overwhelming difference between him and Trajan…
I think I’ll exchange Trajan for cash when I get him.
