You mentioned that Elise is available in the Trial of Knights event. Scipio is as well. Because of this, it's not quite accurate to consider them fully premium generals. As I recall from a previous video, you referred to Dewey as "freemium" because his fragments are available in the Great Generals' Chest. If that's true about Dewey, it should be even more true about about Elise and Scipio as it shouldn't be difficult to collect 45 fragments a month for them a month.
The 5% was included in the effective damage calculations, I just forgot it when I was paraphrasing. Also yes the covenant does work for assistants. If I can get him I'll probably use him with Trajan so I can use them both to defend tiles.
Question on your comment around Trajan. You said he works if he’s in a building. I thought that attacking or marching buffs did work inside buildings or temples. The only time they don’t work is in a city as a wall general or as a rein general
Good question, to be honest I've always heard that the attacking or marching clause only works when you are sending the march to attack, but I've never tested it myself. I'll have to test it and see what I find.
I loved the video. Very nice. I now know for sure that Elise is better than Scipio. Thank you for the 'Defiles' pun, too, very nice of you to do that. I really love this channel.
She's better but she need dragon to excel better stat where Scipio doesn't need dragon or beast, I've been thinking to choose Scipio over Elise bcoz I don't have 3rd dragon yet, Scipio stat are almost same as Elise
Good question, Freya is an interesting general, the problem with her is that most of her abilities are locked behind the clause "defending outside the main city". I'm not sure if this only works while reinforcing other players keeps, or if it will work while camped on a tile. The other problem is the price, for this last event it would have been 200 USD to get one copy of her, so using her as a main general is not practical at all. But if we look at how she works as an assistant, she will be way better than any of the others when her skills are active.
Why is no one talking about freyja? Even when you're leading an attack, she gives defense and attack +40% reining a player or temple she's giving an extra 50% to 2 skills. And her leadership is 124 and attack is 120. Defense is 119... and not one RU-vid video or online thread talks about her that i can find. I match her with Scipio and they are pretty tanks.
I was going to make a video specifically for Freya but I got busy with other projects and forgot about her thb. At full ascension Freya has 296Atk, 244Def, 260HP, 18MS, only counting the clauses that aren't defending outside the city. The average for a premium ground general is 307Atk, 272Def, 272HP, 11MS, so you can see she's nothing special. The thing that makes her powerful is the buffs that are behind the "defending outside the city" clause, which most people assume only works when reinforcing, but to be sure you would have to test her in every scenario.
@@Maath_Faseli when I lead with Scipio and her as a ass gen. Her attack and defense stack, the hp does not. I can flip them and everything stacks. It's pretty op, when holding temples
I only count the base skill and specialty for assistants, I made the mistake a few months ago of counting the ascension too and had to delete some videos lol
Alessandra is 6th is damage and 8th in health for assistants. She's decent and if you've already heavily invested into her specialty then I would use her. The best option for an assistant to Elise would be Sweyn, but the difference between Sweyn and Alessandra isn't huge.
@@Maath_Faseli I like her march size buff embedded just in her basic skill. If I randomly will get Sweyn I will consider him. Nice video. Also , marching / attacking works in buildings. Cheers
Please consider dragon requirements of general mext time. I have 400 fragments of Elise but no dragon. So i can't get the benefits from her. I'm using swen with her
The more considerations I add the longer these videos will be, so I only consider the important parts to keep it as short as possible. Don't let dragons change your expectations, evony is a long term game, you'll get a dragon soon enough and then you'll have the best generals for when that happens.
No they don't factor the dragon in, but if they have a dragon as an assistant it will still be active. If you don't have a dragon for them I wouldn't recommend using them as an assistant.
It's a shame I didn't wait a few days to post this lol. He's #1 in effective damage (with skin + coven) #4 without. He's #1 in effective health (with skin + coven) #1 without. As as assistant he's #1 in damage with or without skin + coven, and #1 in health with or without skin. So yeah he's pretty overpowered.
