Is Gilgamesh a top-notch general in Evony?
Well, he's certainly a skilled Sub PvP Attack General who specializes in debuffing enemy Ranged Troops, Ground Troops, and Siege Machines. While his debuffs may not target the exact stats you'd prefer, such as debuffing Siege Machine defence instead of attack, if you're willing to invest in maxing out his skills, his final specialty, Slay Gugalanna, can make up for some of these shortcomings with some powerful additional debuffs. So, while there may be better options for Sub Attack PvP, Gilgamesh can still hold his own with the right upgrades.
