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.
- 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).
Glitches currently being found
Very unfortunately, several glitches have been identified and are summarized here to reduce the damage.
Generals with Double drop rate increasesBibars, Theodora, and CleopatraDouble 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% VIPver. 4.26.2When 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-DurrThe “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 SpeedSeleucus 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
- When Skill & Skill Conflict
- When Skill & Skill Book Conflict
- 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.

Test result: whether the assistant’s skill that requires a dragon is triggered or not
For example, among Minamoto no Yosh*tsune’s basic skills, the ranged troops attack buff +15% is only effective when the dragon is attached.
So, if we have Minamoto no Yosh*tsune 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 Gen | Assistant (Minamoto) | |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Skill | None | Basic buff +25% Requires dragon +15% Total +40% |
| Skill book | None | None |
| Specialty | None | Basic 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 Yosh*tsune’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 Yosh*tsune’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.
