Is Visconti a good general in Evony?

Visconti excels when in command of Ranged Troops with a kit that buffs them across the board, creating a march that is both potent and durable under fire. Even better, his buffs are active in both attack and defense, giving him good versatility. Indeed, he is amongst the Best Ranged Defense Generals in Evony. All this starts with his Special Skill, Serpent of Milan, which adds a mammoth 60% to the defense and attack of Ranged Troops and a further 45% to their HP.
