Yi Song-gye – Details

Is Yi Song-gye a good general in Evony?

As a Purple Historic Evony General, Yi Song-gye is only useful in the very early stages of the game for Ranged PvP. In these phases, his Special Skill, Yongbi Eocheon Ga, which adds 35% Ranged Troop Defense, is actually pretty good. However, you will quickly get hold of better options that should replace him as soon as possible. Try to avoid wasting resources in upgrading him too much.
