Richard the Lionheart – Builds

As this Evony General’s skills make him a Wall Duty General it is worth giving him a defense build. He is best in his siege machine stats so it is good to focus his development here. However, there are better Evony Defense Generals available. You should only use him in this way if you really want the increase to your hospital capacity. Alternatively, create your very own build with our Evony General Equipment and Buff Calculator.

Siege Defense

Everything for this build is focused on improving a very heavy siege city defense. 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 attacker. HP is added to give a bit more durability to your siege machines.
