John Churchill – Details

Is John Churchill a good general in Evony?

John Churchill is a top-quality Evony Siege PvP General. His Special Skill, Duke of Marlborough, adds a massive 30% to Siege Machine attack whilst also increasing Rally Capacity by 12% when launching an Alliance War. This makes him great for leading a rally against a tough opponent in PvP, for example in the Battle of Gaugamela or in the Server War.

However, it should be noted that pretty much all his skills and specialties are only active when he is attacking. Therefore he is not viable as a Defense General and you should pick someone else for this role.

John Churchill – Builds

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

Siege PvP

Everything for this build is focused on improving a very heavy siege march. This is likely only viable for big spenders as the gem repair cost could be very high. However, it is particularly potent and will cause huge damage to the enemy.

• Skill Books:
• Lvl 4 Siege Machine Attack – Siege Attack +25%
• Lvl 4 Siege Machine Range Bonus – Siege Machine Range +200
• Lvl 4 March Size – March Size +12%
• Equipment Refines:
• Axe – Siege Machine Attack % x4
• Armor – Siege Machine Defense % x4
• Boots – Siege Machine Defense % x4
• Helmet – Siege Machine HP % x4
• Leg Armor – Siege Machine HP % x4
• Ring – Siege Machine Attack % x4

Siege and Range PvP

This build focuses on a mixed range and siege PvP march. It looks to increase the damage output of both troop types whilst also increasing the ranged troop range.

You can always swap this for siege range if you prefer. However, we favor it on the ranged troops since siege machines already have an incredible attack range.

• Skill Books:
• Lvl 4 Siege Machine Attack – Siege Attack +25%
• Lvl 4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus – Ranged Troop Range +100
• Lvl 4 Ranged Troop Attack – Ranged Attack +25%
• Equipment Refines:
• Axe – Siege Machine Attack % x4
• Armor – Ranged Troop Defense % x4
• Boots – Siege Machine Defense % x4
• Helmet – Ranged Troop HP % x4
• Leg Armor – Siege Machine HP % x4
• Ring – Ranged Troop Attack % x4
