Hernando Cortes

Hernando Cortes – “Spanish explorer in the Age of Discovery who conquered the Aztec Empire.”

Hernando Cortes – Details

Is Hernando Cortes a good general in Evony?

In the early game, Hernando Cortes will prove useful as a dedicated Monster Hunter. Indeed, without much development, his Special Skill, Spirit of Adventure, will already add 10% to your attack when attacking Monsters and reduce the monster’s attack by 5%. This may help you take on higher-level Monsters earlier in the game than you otherwise would have been able to.

However, it should be noted that Hernando Cortes should only be used when you first start on a new Server. You will quickly unlock much better options for Monster Hunting and these should be used ahead of him.

Hernando Cortes – Builds

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

Big Prey Hunter

This build is ideal for players who are looking to take down big monster prey. It sacrifices everything in favor of mounted attack. This build will ensure you do maximum damage to boss monsters on the first hit. This will minimize your losses and allow you to take on higher-level bosses for better rewards.

• Skill Books:
• Lvl 4 Mounted Troop Attack – Mounted Attack +25%
• Lvl 4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster – Mounted Attack Against Monster +45%
• Lvl 4 March Size – March Size +12%

• Helmet – Mounted Troop HP % x4
• Leg Armor – Mounted Troop HP % x4
• Ring – Mounted Troop Attack % x4

Looter Hunter Hybrid

This build will allow you to take down big boss monsters whilst also maximizing your loot return. It replaces the march size skill book with the luck skill book to increase the double item drop rate. This will of course decrease your damage output slightly. However, the double drops are good compensation.

• Skill Books:
• Lvl 4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster – Mounted Attack Against Monster +45%
• Lvl 4 Luck – Double Items Drop Rate +18%
• Lvl 4 Mounted Troop Attack – Mounted Attack +25%
