Having one of the best Evony monster generals is key to progressing fast in the game. It will allow you to kill high-level boss monsters for maximum rewards. Keep reading to see our Evony Monster General Tier List.
Why you Need an Evony Monster General
If you want to grow quickly in Evony, having one of the best Evony Monster Hunting Generals is vital. These generals are focused on using mounted troops due to their high attack stat and the way that boss battle mechanics work.
Depending on your requirements, there are two key roles a monster-hunting general can play.
Evony Monster Hunter General
A monster-hunting general is designed to take down high-powered monsters on the world map. They focus everything on a high-mounted attack. A typical skill book setup would be as follows:
- Lvl 4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster – Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster +45%
- Lvl 4 Mounted Troop Attack – Mounted Troop Attack +25%
- Lvl 4 March Size – March Size +12%

This will ensure the general is able to do maximum damage on the first hit to ensure the monster cannot retaliate and therefore minimize losses.

Evony Monster Looter
In contrast to the Evony Monster Hunter General, the Looter General is focused on increasing the double drop rate of items from monsters.
You should always use one of these generals when joining rallies or when attacking lower-powered monsters. A typical skill book set up for one of the Best Evony Monster Looting Generals may be as follows:
- Lvl 4 Mounted Troop Attack – Mounted Attack +25%
- Lvl 4 Luck – Double Items Drop Rate +18%
- Lvl 4 March Size – March Size +12%

This will ensure that you maximize the number of items you are looting from Boss Monsters and Event Monsters whilst also being able to defeat some monsters if you are the rally leader. This is a great way to build up your stock of resource boxes and speedup boxes.

Evony Boss Monster Battle Mechanics

Evony Boss Monster and Event Monster Battles take place using a turn-based mechanism. The player is always the first to attack, with the monster then retaliating if it is still alive.
If you send more than one tier of mounted troops, the highest tier will attack in Turn 1, with the boss then retaliating against the same tier. Each turn the battle continues it moves down the tiers and then starts again from the top.
If the player has 10% of its troops wounded then the battle is over and they lose.
Read our Evony Boss Monster Guide for more details on Boss Monster Battle Mechanics.

What about Theodora?
Hi Sharp, thanks for your comment. She makes a great general for looting. Put a luck skill book on her and she can have the highest double item drop rate in the game. I have included her in the Monster Looting section. Adding mounted attack skill books will also make her effective for killing tough monsters.
She is currently only available to newer servers so I haven’t added her to all tier lists yet. However, I will work on getting her added soon!
Thanks
Hi, just to let you know that I have now added Theodora.
