Evony Ground Generals – Free to Play

This list contains the best Ground Generals for free to play players. Generals are very unique to each players playstyle, and therefore you may wish to deviate from this list – treat this list as more of a general guidance rather than an absolute. This guide is segmented into March & Rally, and Reinforcement. This is because some buffs are only enabled under certain circumstances.

‘Maxed out’ in this guide shall refer to a General that is level 40 (due to limit information at level 45), fully ascended, fully cultivated, full specialties (except 5th), skin (if applicable), and skill books.
