Evony General Gunther is the strongest general who can lead the siege machine now. This conclusion is drawn through a comprehensive judgment of his all attributes and buffs. To better use and match this general, I write this guide. Also, this guide contains other detailed information about Gunther and how to obtain this general.
The Basic Attributes of Gunther
Leadership: 125 (↑9.19)
Attack: 121 (↑9.08)
Defense: 118 (↑8.95)
Politics: 105 (↑8.35)
Judging from the basic attributes, Gunther is a general good at leading troops to battle.
Gunther’s General Skin Buffs
Use to activate the buffs below.
- Marching Siege Machine HP +10%
- Enemy Ranged Troop and Siege Machine Attack -10%
This skin was released during the 2024 Triumphal Celebration Event. It was available through the King’s Party at that time. However, there is no way to get this skin in the game now. I predict that Evony will release this skin again in the future, but the way to get it will be changed.

Related General Combinations
Gunther’s special skill conflicts with Pallas and Zucca. Based on the combined data of max-level special skills and specialties, I believe the following combinations are the strongest siege-machine general combinations.
Main General | Assistant General | Assistant General Special Skill | March Size Capacity | Lv4 Siege Machine Attack Skill Book |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Gunther | Melisande | Increases siege machines’ attack, defense, and HP by 40% and March Size by 8% when the General is leading the army. | +23% | √ |
John Hunyadi | Increases ranged troops and siege machines’ attack by 45% and siege machines’ defense and HP by 15% when the General is leading the army to attack. | +10% | √ | |
Kleos | Increases siege machines’ attack and HP by 40% and March Size by 12% when the General is leading the army to attack. | +22% | √ | |
Mu Guiying | Increases siege machines’ attack by 45% and siege machines’ defense and HP by 20% when the General is leading the army. | +15% | × |
Taking into account the ‘Siege Machine Attack’ Skill Book and the march size buff, plus the consideration of the covenant and skin buffs, I think the strongest combination is Gunther + Melisande. This combination has the highest defense buff and march size capacity bonus. In addition, in terms of attack and HP, although their buffs are not the highest, it is not much lower than the highest value. Moreover, Gunther’s covenant general includes Melisande. So, it is very cost-effective to train Melisande as his assistant general.
Melisande’s skin attributes:
Ranged Troop and Siege Machine Attack +10%; Enemy Siege Machine HP -10%
Among the above combinations, the one with the strongest attack buff is Gunther + John Hunyadi, and the one with the highest HP buff is Gunther + Kleos.
Kleos’s skin attributes:
Ranged Troop and Siege Machine HP +10%; Enemy Ranged Troop and Siege Machine Defense -20%
