Harald III

Harald III – “The king of Norway the great militarist and conqueror, known as The Last Viking.”

Harald III – Details

Is Harald III a good general in Evony?

Harald III is an extremely versatile Evony General. He can be used as both a Ranged PvP General and a Ground PvP General very effectively. In addition, he can also be used in Defense with both these Evony Troop Types.

However, you should choose just one of these roles to focus on to get the most out of the general. Trying to use him as both a pure Ranged PvP General and pure Ground PvP General will simply mean he is weak at both.

Harald III – Builds

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

Ranged PvP

Ground PvP

This build is ideal for players who are very ground-heavy. It sacrifices everything in favor of ground attack, HP, and speed. This build will work well for both a ground attack march and as a Wall Defense General.
