Gaius Octavius – Review
Gaius Octavius is one of the best Evony Generals for Mounted PvP and Monster Hunting. However, you will most commonly see him taking down big monsters and a PvP Mounted march is a more specialist attack for specific keep defenses.
If you set him up as a PvP Evony General, he can also do a job as a Mounted Defense General.

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

Looter Hunter Hybrid

Mounted PvP
