Is Bertrand du Guesclin a good general in Evony?

Bertrand du Guesclin is a solid option for players using many Mounted Troops. He is very effective as both an Evony Monster Hunter General and an Evony Mounted PvP General.

He should not be used as a Defense General as most of his skills are only active in attack.

The below builds outline which skill books and equipment refines you should use depending on your requirements.

Big Prey Hunter

This build is ideal for players who are looking to take down big monster prey. It sacrifices everything in favor of mounted attack and mounted HP via equipment refines and skill books.

This build will ensure you do maximum damage to boss monsters on the first hit. This will minimize your losses and allow you to take on higher-level bosses for better rewards.

Looter Hunter Hybrid

This build will allow you to take down big boss monsters whilst also maximizing your loot return. It replaces the march size skill book with the luck skill book to increase the double item drop rate.

This will of course decrease your damage output slightly. However, the double drops are good compensation.
