Douglas – Details

Is Douglas a good general in Evony?

Douglas is a highly effective Ranged PvP General. His Special Skill, Blessing of Siren, increases the attack of Ranged Troops by a good 25% and increases it by a further 15% when he brings any Dragon or Spiritual Beast. However, it should be noted that Blessing of Siren is only effective when attacking and the buffs will not work in defense.

As well as his Special Skill buffing Ranged Troops, it also gives 15% attack and defense to Siege Machines. On top of this, his Specialities further boost both these Troop Types. This makes him a great option for running a mixed Siege Machine and Ranged Troop march for players who are heavy on both of these.

Douglas – Builds

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

Ranged PvP

This build is ideal for players who are very range heavy. It sacrifices everything in favor of ranged attack whilst also topping up ranged troop HP and Defense via equipment refines. This build will ensure you do maximum damage, especially in the early game when players are quite mounted heavy.

• Skill Books:
• Lvl 4 Ranged Troop Attack – Ranged Attack +25%
• Lvl 4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus – Ranged Troop Range +100
• Lvl 4 March Size – March Size +12%
• Equipment Refines:
• Bow – Ranged Troop Attack % x4
• Armor – Ranged Troop Defense % x4
• Boots – Ranged Troop Defense % x4
• Helmet – Ranged Troop HP % x4
• Leg Armor – Ranged Troop HP % x4
• Ring – Ranged Troop Attack % x4

Siege and Ranged PvP

Due to this general’s buff to both ranged troops and siege machines, it can be a good play to run a mixed march with both troop types in certain scenarios. This build will work well for these situations. Siege range is prioritized over siege attack as siege attack is already very high with the additional range giving you some extra attacks before the enemy has you in their range.

• Skill Books:
• Lvl 4 Ranged Troop Attack – Ranged Attack +25%
• Lvl 4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus – Ranged Troop Range +100
• Lvl 4 Siege Troop Range Bonus – Siege Troop Range +200
• Equipment Refines:
• Bow – Ranged Troop Attack % x4
• Armor – Ranged Troop Defense % x4
• Boots – Ranged Troop Defense % x4
• Helmet – Ranged Troop HP % x4
• Leg Armor – Ranged Troop HP % x4
• Ring – Ranged Troop Attack % x4
