Is George A Custer a good general in Evony?
Custer makes a formidable Evony General when using mounted troops. Indeed, he is one of the best in terms of mounted attack when it comes to both Mounted PvP and Monster Hunting.
In addition to this, he is also able to be ascended which can improve him even further. It should be noted though that he is currently only obtainable by spending money. Therefore if you intend to ascend there are better options that have General Fragments more easily attainable for the ascension process.
You should avoid using him as an Evony Defense General as the majority of his buffs are only active in attack.
