Is Cheng Yaojin a good general in Evony?


Cheng Yaojin is a fantastic general to have on your team, especially if you love using Mounted Troops in battle. His Special Skill, Whirlwind Iron Axe, gives a big boost to your mounted attack, HP, and Defense, making him a powerhouse in PvP and Monster Hunting. He can also hold his own as a Defense General.


While he also has some bonuses for Ground Troops, there are better generals out there for that role. Just keep in mind that Cheng Yaojin can't use Mounted Attack Skill Books, so you'll need to focus on developing his Specialties and Ascensions to unlock his full potential.
