Baibars Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Baibars Evony Guide 2026

Baibars is a specialist Monster Looting General in Evony: The King's Return.

He is best suited to:

• Monster rally joining

• Double Item Drop farming

• Boss Monster Hunting

• Event Monster farming

• secondary Monster marches

• F2P and low-spend accounts

His biggest strengths are:

• Double Items Drop Rate +25% from his base skill

• another Double Items Drop Rate +16% from his final Specialty

• Tavern accessibility

• excellent value with very little investment

• useful Monster survivability through Ascension

• simple Mounted Monster build

Baibars should primarily be used to increase Monster rewards.

His biggest value is loot, not raw combat power.

Is Baibars Good in Evony?

Yes.

Baibars remains one of the most useful Monster Looting Generals because his Special Skill works immediately.

Father of Conquest provides:

• Double Items Drop Rate from Monsters +25%

when Baibars is leading the army.

This means he can increase the chance of receiving duplicate Monster rewards without requiring:

• Ascension

• Specialties

• expensive gear

• Runestones

• premium development

That makes him extremely efficient.

Baibars Best Role

Best Role: Monster Looting

Also Good For:

• Monster rally joining

• lower-level Boss Monster leadership

• Event Monster farming

• secondary Monster marches

Avoid Using For:

• serious PvP

• Main City Defense

• Subordinate City Duty

• Gathering

Baibars should be judged by how many extra rewards he helps you earn.

Baibars Special Skill

Baibars' Special Skill is:

Father of Conquest

When Baibars is leading the army:

• Double Items Drop Rate from Monsters +25%

This is always active.

You do not need to upgrade or unlock it.

That makes even a freshly recruited Baibars immediately useful.

Why Double Item Drop Rate Matters

Monster farming is one of the main ways to collect:

• Speedups

• Resources

• General EXP

• Materials

• Equipment items

• Event rewards

• Boxes

• Monster-specific drops

A successful Double Item Drop gives you an extra reward package from the Monster.

That means Baibars can improve account progression without increasing the number of Monsters you need to kill.

Baibars Ascension

Ascending Baibars improves his ability to survive and deal damage against Monsters.

1 Star

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop Defense +5%

• Troop HP +10%

This reduces wounded troops slightly.

2 Stars

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop Defense +20%

This adds another strong survivability boost.

3 Stars

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop HP +20%

This further improves durability against Boss Monsters.

4 Stars

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop Defense +15%

• Troop HP +10%

This adds more all-troop survivability.

5 Stars

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop Attack +20%

The fifth star finally adds a direct damage increase.

Baibars Specialties

Baibars has four Specialties.

Mounted Troop Formation

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

This supports the standard Mounted Monster build.

Suppress

• Enemy Troop HP -10%

This is more relevant to PvP than routine Monster Hunting.

It is not the main reason to develop Baibars.

Mounted Troop Ares

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

This gives Baibars a more balanced Mounted profile.

Battle of Ain Zara

• March Time Reduction +10%

• Double Items Drop Rate from Monsters +16%

Battle of Ain Zara is Baibars' standout Specialty.

It adds even more Monster loot value while also reducing march time.

How Much Double Item Drop Rate Can Baibars Get?

Baibars gains:

• Double Items Drop Rate +25% from Father of Conquest

• Double Items Drop Rate +16% from Battle of Ain Zara

That gives:

41% Double Items Drop Rate from Monsters

from his own developed kit.

This is the main reason Baibars remains useful.

Does Baibars Need Ascension for Double Drops?

No.

This is important.

Baibars gets his core:

• Double Item Drop Rate +25%

immediately from Father of Conquest.

Ascension does not increase Double Item Drop Rate.

It improves:

• Monster Defense

• Monster HP

• Monster Attack at 5-Star

That means you can use Baibars effectively without spending Blood of Ares.

Does Baibars Need Specialties?

Not if you only use him for casual rally joining.

His base:

• Double Item Drop Rate +25%

already gives excellent value.

However, maxing Battle of Ain Zara adds:

• another Double Item Drop Rate +16%

for a total of:

41%

That is powerful for players who farm Monsters heavily.

The trade-off is Runestone cost.

Best Skill Books for Baibars

If you want Baibars to actively kill Monsters, use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 March Size

This improves:

• Mounted damage

• Monster-specific damage

• total troops in the march

This is the strongest simple Monster build for Baibars.

Alternative Monster Build

If wounded troops are becoming a problem, you can use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP Against Monster

This sacrifices March Size for extra survivability.

Use whichever setup helps you defeat the target with fewer wounded troops.

Baibars for Monster Rally Joining

This is arguably Baibars' best use.

If another Alliance member is leading the rally, Baibars does not need to be strong enough to kill the Monster himself.

You can simply send:

• a very small march

• one troop where appropriate

with Baibars leading.

His:

• Double Item Drop Rate +25%

still provides value.

This makes him one of the easiest Generals to use efficiently.

Does Baibars Need Expensive Gear?

Not for simple rally joining.

If Baibars is only joining Monster rallies for extra rewards, he does not need expensive combat equipment.

A Double Item Drop ring is far more useful than a fully refined PvP set.

If you use Baibars as an actual Monster rally leader, then Mounted-focused combat gear becomes more important.

Best Equipment for Baibars

For a serious Monster Hunting build, prioritise:

• Mounted Troop Attack

• Mounted Troop HP

• Mounted Troop Defense

• Double Item Drop Rate where available

A standard refine setup is:

Spear

• Mounted Troop Attack % x4

Ring

• Mounted Troop Attack % x4

Armor

• Mounted Troop Defense % x4

Boots

• Mounted Troop Defense % x4

Helmet

• Mounted Troop HP % x4

Leg Armor

• Mounted Troop HP % x4

For simple rally joining, this level of investment is unnecessary.

Baibars for Big Boss Monsters

Baibars can lead against lower and mid-level Boss Monsters.

His Monster-focused Ascension adds useful:

• Defense

• HP

• Attack

and his Mounted Specialties support the standard Mounted Boss setup.

However, Baibars is not a top raw-damage Monster General.

Modern dedicated Monster Generals can provide much stronger:

• Mounted Attack

• Monster Attack

• Monster Defense reduction

• Monster HP reduction

• March Size

Baibars' advantage is loot.

Baibars vs Theodora

Baibars and Theodora are both excellent Monster Looting Generals.

Baibars provides:

• Double Item Drop Rate +25% immediately

• up to +41% from his own kit with Battle of Ain Zara

Theodora also provides Double Item Drop value while adding stronger direct Monster combat support.

That means:

• Baibars is excellent for pure loot farming

• Theodora can offer more all-round Monster performance

Both are useful.

There is no reason to own only one Monster Looting General when multiple marches are available.

Baibars vs Strong Monster Damage Generals

Baibars should not be compared only on damage.

A modern Monster General may kill the Boss faster or with fewer wounded troops.

Baibars may instead return more rewards over time.

That makes the choice dependent on what you need.

Use a stronger Monster damage General when:

• you are pushing harder Bosses

• wounded troops are too high

• your rally damage is insufficient

Use Baibars when:

• reward efficiency matters most

• another player is carrying the rally damage

• you are farming large numbers of Monsters

Baibars for Mounted PvP

Baibars can technically lead Mounted Troops in PvP.

His Specialties provide:

• Mounted Attack +20%

• Mounted Defense +20%

• Mounted HP +10%

However, this is far too low for serious modern Mounted PvP.

His base Special Skill also provides no PvP combat buff.

Do not build Baibars as a serious PvP General.

Is Baibars F2P Friendly?

Yes.

This is one of his biggest advantages.

Baibars is available from the Tavern.

Current sources list his cost at:

• 30,000,000 Gold

That means F2P and low-spend players can obtain multiple copies over time.

This is especially useful because you may want more than one Baibars for multiple Monster marches.

How Many Baibars Should You Have?

More than one can be useful.

If you regularly run multiple marches, having several Baibars can allow you to send:

• one Baibars with one rally

• another Baibars with another rally

• another with a third Monster march

This can increase the number of Monster rewards you collect over time.

For active Monster-focused accounts, multiple copies can be very useful.

Is Baibars Worth Ascending?

Usually not as a high priority.

His Ascension adds:

• Monster Defense

• Monster HP

• Monster Attack at 5-Star

These are useful if Baibars actively leads Monster rallies.

However, his core Double Item Drop value already works without Ascension.

Blood of Ares is usually better spent first on:

• main PvP Generals

• Wall Generals

• top Monster damage Generals

Ascend Baibars only if:

• you use him heavily

• you have spare Blood of Ares

• you want him to lead Monsters rather than merely join rallies

Is Baibars Worth Specialties?

Battle of Ain Zara is extremely attractive.

It adds:

• Double Item Drop Rate +16%

• March Time Reduction +10%

That takes Baibars from:

25% Double Item Drop Rate

to:

41%

However, getting to the fourth Specialty requires significant Runestone investment.

For most players, this should be a later luxury rather than an early priority.

Is Baibars Still Relevant in 2026?

Absolutely.

Baibars has survived power creep better than many old Generals because his main job is not to compete on raw combat buffs.

His value comes from:

• Double Item Drop Rate

That remains useful regardless of how strong new PvP Generals become.

As long as Monster rewards remain valuable, Baibars remains useful.

How to Obtain Baibars

Baibars is available from the Tavern.

Current sources list his Tavern cost at:

• 30,000,000 Gold

This makes him one of the most accessible and useful Monster Looting Generals for F2P and low-spend players.

Is Baibars Worth Investing In?

Baibars is worth using if:

• you farm Monsters regularly

• you join many Alliance rallies

• you want more Monster rewards

• you are F2P or low-spend

• you need multiple Monster looting marches

• you can obtain him easily from the Tavern

He deserves less investment if:

• you only use him for one-troop rally joining

• your Blood of Ares is limited

• your Runestones are limited

• you already have stronger Monster rally leaders

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Baibars is not a top Monster damage General.

He is a top Monster reward General.

That distinction matters.

His base skill gives:

• Double Item Drop Rate +25%

with no development required.

His fourth Specialty can raise that to:

• 41% Double Item Drop Rate

from his own kit.

That means even an old General like Baibars can remain highly valuable despite massive combat power creep.

If another player is already providing the rally damage, Baibars does not need huge buffs.

He just needs to be in the march.

TEBA Verdict

Baibars remains one of Evony's most practical Monster Looting Generals.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Double Items Drop Rate from Monsters +25%

His Ascension adds:

• Monster Defense

• Monster HP

• Monster Attack at 5-Star

while Battle of Ain Zara adds:

• Double Items Drop Rate +16%

• March Time Reduction +10%

giving Baibars:

• 41% Double Item Drop Rate

from his own fully developed kit.

His biggest strengths are:

• excellent Monster reward efficiency

• immediate value with zero development

• Tavern accessibility

• strong rally-joining utility

• usefulness across multiple marches

His biggest weakness is raw Monster damage.

Modern dedicated Monster Generals can kill stronger Bosses more efficiently.

For Monster rally joining and reward farming, however, Baibars remains one of the smartest and easiest Generals to use in 2026.
