Your Ultimate Guide to Stephen II in Evony
Best Role: Siege PvP
Best Paired With: Christina, Theobald I, Gunther
Special Skill: Increases mounted troops’ attack and HP by 50% and March Size by 12% when General is leading the army.
Is Stephen II a strong general in Evony?
Stephen II is a superb choice for both Siege PvP and Siege Defense roles. However, he’s unable to equip a Siege Machine Attack Skill Book, so maximizing his potential requires substantial investment. Additionally, he can be challenging to acquire, which may complicate Ascension and often relegates him to an Assistant General role. While his Specialties also boost Ranged Troops, tempting some to use him for a mixed Ranged Troop and Siege Machine march, this only becomes practical once his Specialties are fully developed—and even then, there are much stronger options for Ranged Generals available.
