Takenaka Shigeharu – Details

Is Takenaka Shigeharu a good general in Evony?

Takenaka Shigeharu easily stands out as one of the Best Evony Siege Defense Generals there is. Even without any development, he is stacked from his Special Skill, Dragon Depth Strategist, which adds 50% attack to Siege Machines and 45% Defense to Ground and Mounted Troops when in defense. This is only improved further if you work on his Specialities and his Ascension.

On top of just being good with Siege Machines, he is also pretty good with Ground Troops due to the additional defense added by his Special Skill and final Speciality. This makes these Troops extremely durable when under his command and able to withstand a heavy assault from the enemy. Running a mixed Ground and Siege Machine defense could therefore be great for any player utilizing Takenaka Shigeharu.
