Beowulf Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Beowulf Evony Guide 2026

Beowulf is a Mounted Troop General in Evony: The King's Return with a particularly strong Monster Hunting profile.

He is best suited to:

• Monster Hunting

• Boss rallies

• Mounted PvP

• secondary Mounted marches

• large cavalry attacks

His biggest strength is PvE.

Beowulf provides solid Mounted Attack, Defense and HP from his base Special Skill, then gains a major additional Mounted Attack Against Monster bonus through his final Specialty.

That makes him much more interesting as a boss hunter than his base PvP stats alone might suggest.

Is Beowulf Good in Evony?

Yes, especially for Monster Hunting.

Beowulf's Special Skill provides:

• Mounted Troop Attack +35%

• Mounted Troop Defense +35%

• Mounted Troop HP +30%

• Ground Troop HP +30%

when he is leading the army to attack.

Those are respectable Mounted PvP buffs.

However, his real advantage appears later through his King of the Geats Specialty, which adds a large Mounted Attack bonus against monsters.

Beowulf Best Role

Best Role: Monster Hunting

Also Good For: Mounted PvP and Boss Rallies

Avoid Using For: Passive Main City Defense

Beowulf should primarily be built around Mounted Troops.

Mounted Troops are already the standard troop type for bosses, and Beowulf's final Specialty reinforces that role heavily.

Beowulf Special Skill

Beowulf's Special Skill is:

Dragon Slayer

Increases Mounted Troops' Attack and Defense by 35% and increases Ground Troops' and Mounted Troops' HP by 30% when General is leading the army to attack.

The important condition is:

when leading the army to attack.

That means Beowulf is an offensive General rather than a defensive option.

Beowulf Ascension

Ascending Beowulf improves both his Mounted combat and Monster Hunting performance.

1 Star

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +15%

2 Stars

• Marching Troop Death into Wounded Rate +8%

3 Stars

• Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster +16%

• Mounted Troop HP Against Monster +10%

This is one of Beowulf's most important Ascension levels for PvE.

It directly improves his performance against monsters.

4 Stars

• Ground Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Ground Troop Defense +15%

• Mounted Troop Defense +15%

5 Stars

• Mounted Troop Attack +20%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

The fifth star adds another useful all-round Mounted stat package.

Beowulf Specialties

Beowulf has four Specialties.

Mounted Troop Formation

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

Annihilation

• March Size Capacity +6%

• Attacking Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Attacking Ground Troop Attack +10%

Mounted Troop Ares

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

King of the Geats

• Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster +40%

• Mounted Troop Attack +15%

• March Speed to Monsters +35%

King of the Geats is the standout Specialty.

The 40% Mounted Attack Against Monster bonus is the main reason Beowulf works so well as a dedicated boss hunter.

The additional March Speed to Monsters also improves efficiency when joining or launching repeated rallies.

Why Beowulf Is Better for Monsters Than PvP

Beowulf's base PvP stats are solid, but not exceptional by modern premium Mounted standards.

His Monster Hunting value is different.

He can stack:

• Mounted Troop Attack

• Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• March Size

• Monster March Speed

• Mounted survivability

That combination makes him much more specialised for PvE than many generic Mounted Generals.

Best Skill Books for Beowulf

For Monster Hunting, a strong setup is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 March Size

This gives Beowulf:

• more boss damage

• stronger Mounted Attack

• more troops per march

This is the recommended build if you want to maximise boss-killing power.

Beowulf Monster Looter Build

If you want Beowulf to combine damage with better rewards, you can use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Luck

Luck increases Double Items Drop Rate.

This sacrifices some March Size but can improve long-term monster farming efficiency.

Beowulf Mounted PvP Build

If you want to use Beowulf for Mounted PvP instead, consider:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP

• Lv4 March Size

Another option is replacing HP with:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Speed

if you want faster engagement.

Beowulf can perform in Mounted PvP, but Monster Hunting remains his more distinctive role.

Best Assistant Generals for Beowulf

Current TEBA pairing data includes:

• George Monck

• Hermes

• Marco Polo

These are all strong Mounted-focused options.

The best Assistant should ideally add:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted HP

• Mounted Defense

• March Size

• Monster-specific buffs where relevant

without disabling Dragon Slayer.

Always test the exact pairing in-game before committing expensive resources.

Beowulf + George Monck

George Monck can add substantial Mounted Attack and survivability.

This is a strong option for a powerful hybrid Mounted march.

Beowulf + Hermes

Hermes adds strong Mounted buffs and excellent March Size.

This can create a very large and hard-hitting Mounted march.

Beowulf + Marco Polo

Marco Polo is another strong Mounted option.

His excellent March Size and Mounted combat stats make him a useful partner where compatibility remains active.

Equipment and Refines

For Monster Hunting, prioritise Mounted damage first.

A standard direction 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

Attack remains the most important stat for killing bosses quickly.

Defense and HP help reduce wounded troops if the monster survives the first round.

Beowulf for Monster Hunting

Monster Hunting is Beowulf's strongest role.

His kit provides:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Attack Against Monster

• March Size

• Monster March Speed

• Mounted survivability

That makes him particularly effective for:

• Boss rallies

• Event monsters

• large alliance monsters

• repetitive PvE farming

The goal is to deal enough damage to kill the monster in as few rounds as possible.

That reduces wounded troops and improves overall efficiency.

Beowulf for Mounted PvP

Beowulf can also be used for Mounted PvP.

His base skill provides:

• Mounted Attack +35%

• Mounted Defense +35%

• Mounted HP +30%

and his Ascension and Specialties add further Mounted strength.

However, newer premium Mounted Generals now have much higher PvP ceilings.

That means Beowulf is better judged as:

a strong Monster Hunter who can also fight PvP,

rather than a top-end PvP General who happens to hunt monsters.

Beowulf and Ground Troops

Beowulf provides some Ground support through:

• Dragon Slayer

• 4-Star Ascension

• Annihilation

However, he should not be treated as a Ground General.

His strongest offensive scaling is clearly Mounted-focused.

Treat the Ground buffs as secondary utility.

How Much March Size Does Beowulf Get?

Beowulf gains:

• March Size +6% from Annihilation

That is useful, but March Size is not the defining feature of his kit.

If you also use the Lv4 March Size Skill Book, his boss march becomes significantly larger.

His main PvE advantage remains Mounted Attack Against Monster.

Beowulf on Defense

Beowulf is not a good choice for passive Main City Defense.

His base Special Skill requires him to be attacking.

A large portion of his development is also focused on Monster Hunting or attacking Mounted troops.

Use a dedicated Wall General instead.

Is Beowulf Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes, especially for Monster Hunting.

As a pure Mounted PvP General, Beowulf has been overtaken by newer premium options.

However, he remains useful because:

• he has strong Monster-specific Attack

• he has good Mounted survivability

• he gains March Size

• he has Monster March Speed

• he can still contribute in Mounted PvP

• he pairs with several strong Mounted Generals

That gives him a clear niche.

Is Beowulf Worth Ascending?

Yes, if Monster Hunting is one of your main activities and you can realistically develop him.

His Ascension adds:

• more Mounted Attack

• more Mounted Defense

• more Mounted HP

• Monster-specific Attack

• better survivability

The 3-Star Ascension is particularly valuable for boss hunting because it adds Mounted Attack Against Monster.

Is Beowulf Worth Investing In?

Beowulf is worth investing in if:

• you hunt bosses heavily

• you lead Monster rallies

• Mounted troops are already well developed

• you want a General that can also handle PvP

• you can obtain enough copies to Ascend him

• you have a compatible Mounted Assistant

He is less attractive if:

• you mainly care about top-end Mounted PvP

• you already have a stronger dedicated Monster General

• you cannot Ascend him meaningfully

• your Mounted Research and equipment are still weak

TEBA Verdict

Beowulf is a strong Mounted Monster Hunting General with useful secondary PvP value.

His base Special Skill gives:

• Mounted Attack +35%

• Mounted Defense +35%

• Mounted HP +30%

but his real standout feature is King of the Geats, which adds:

• Mounted Attack Against Monster +40%

• Mounted Attack +15%

• March Speed to Monsters +35%

That pushes him much more clearly toward PvE than pure PvP.

For players who hunt bosses heavily, Beowulf remains a very useful Mounted General in 2026.

For pure Mounted PvP, stronger modern options now exist.
