Takeda Shingen – Details

Is Takeda Shingen a good general in Evony?

The skills of Takeda Shingen really load up his mounted and ground troop attack stats. This makes him a pretty good monster hunter. However, the lack of many HP or Defense skills lets him down in terms of running a strong Ground PvP march. He can also do a good job as a mounted defense general, but this is a bit of a niche defense setup.
