Christina Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Christina Evony Guide 2026

Christina is a powerful Siege Machine PvP General in Evony: The King's Return.

She is best suited to:

• Siege PvP

• Siege rallies

• offensive Siege marches

• high-damage late-game Siege builds

Her biggest strength is the size of her base Siege buffs.

Christina immediately provides large Siege Attack, Defense and HP bonuses before Ascension, Specialties or Covenant bonuses are added.

Is Christina Good in Evony?

Yes.

Christina is a strong Siege PvP General because her Special Skill provides:

• Siege Machine Attack +50%

• Siege Machine Defense +50%

• Siege Machine HP +40%

when she is leading the army to attack.

That is a very strong offensive package.

Her main limitation is that most of her important buffs are attack-focused.

That makes her much better suited to offensive Siege marches than passive city defense.

Christina Best Role

Best Role: Siege PvP

Also Good For: Siege Rallies

Avoid Using For: Monster Hunting or passive Main City Defense

Christina should primarily be built around Siege Machines.

Although some of her Specialties also provide Ranged Troop buffs, her core role is clearly Siege.

Christina Special Skill

Christina's Special Skill is:

The Learned Queen

Increases Siege Machines' Attack and Defense by 50% and increases their HP by 40% when General is leading the army to attack.

The important condition is:

when leading the army to attack.

That makes Christina an offensive specialist.

Christina Ascension

Ascending Christina makes her Siege march much stronger.

1 Star

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +15%

• Attacking Siege Machine HP +20%

2 Stars

• Attacking Troop Death into Wounded Rate +8%

3 Stars

• Attacking Siege Machine Defense +20%

• Attacking Ranged Troop Attack +15%

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +15%

• Siege Machine Attack +20%

• Siege Machine Defense +20%

5 Stars

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +25%

• Attacking Siege Machine Defense +30%

• Attacking Siege Machine HP +30%

The fifth Ascension star is especially strong.

It adds another large block of Siege Attack, Defense and HP, reinforcing exactly the stats Christina needs for offensive Siege PvP.

Christina Specialties

Christina has four Siege-focused Specialties.

Siege Machine Formation

• Siege Machine Attack +10%

• Siege Machine Defense +10%

Bash

• Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• Siege Machine Attack +10%

Siege Machine Ares

• Siege Machine Attack +10%

• Siege Machine HP +10%

Peace of Westphalia

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +45%

• Attacking Siege Machine Defense +35%

• Attacking Siege Machine HP +35%

• Attacking Ranged Troop Defense +35%

• Attacking Ranged Troop HP +35%

Peace of Westphalia is the standout Specialty.

It adds a major amount of attacking Siege strength and gives Christina excellent late-game scaling.

Christina Covenant

Christina can establish a Covenant with:

• Gustavus Adolphus

• Margaret I

• Frigg

Her Covenant can add further Siege bonuses.

War

• Siege Machine HP +10%

Cooperation

• Siege Machine Training Speed +10%

Peace

• Siege Machine Attack +5%

Faith

• Siege Machine Defense +10%

• In-Rally Siege Machine Attack +5%

Honor

• Reinforcing Siege Machine HP +10%

Civilization

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +10%

• March Size Capacity +5%

The Civilization Covenant is particularly useful because it adds both attacking Siege strength and March Size.

Best Skill Books for Christina

Christina can use the standard Siege Skill Books.

A strong Siege PvP setup is:

• Lv4 Siege Machine Attack

• Lv4 Siege Machine Range Bonus

• Lv4 March Size

This gives her:

• more raw Siege damage

• better attack range

• more troops per march

Another option is replacing March Size with:

• Lv4 Siege Machine HP

if your march needs more survivability.

Important Stephen II Skill Book Interaction

There is one important compatibility issue to know.

If Christina uses the Siege Machine Attack Skill Book, Stephen II cannot be used as her Assistant General.

That does not make the Skill Book bad.

It simply means you need to decide which pairing you are actually building before applying it.

If Stephen II is your intended Assistant, test the exact setup first.

Best Assistant Generals for Christina

Current TEBA pairing data includes:

• Theobald I

• Stephen II

• Maurice de Saxe

These are all Siege-focused options.

The best choice depends on:

• Special Skill compatibility

• Skill Book setup

• Ascension

• Specialties

• Covenant

• whether Christina is Main or Assistant

Always test the pair in-game before committing expensive resources.

Christina + Theobald I

Theobald I is a natural Siege partner.

He can add additional Siege buffs and is a strong choice for players building a dedicated Siege march.

Christina + Stephen II

Stephen II can work well with Christina.

However, remember the Skill Book interaction:

if Christina is using Siege Machine Attack, Stephen II may no longer remain compatible as Assistant.

Test before investing.

Christina + Maurice de Saxe

Maurice de Saxe is another Siege-focused option and can complement Christina well where compatibility remains active.

Equipment and Refines

For Siege PvP, prioritise percentage-based Siege refines.

A standard setup is:

Axe

• Siege Machine Attack % x4

Ring

• Siege Machine Attack % x4

Armor

• Siege Machine Defense % x4

Boots

• Siege Machine Defense % x4

Helmet

• Siege Machine HP % x4

Leg Armor

• Siege Machine HP % x4

For high-tier Siege marches, percentage refines are generally preferred over flat refines.

Christina for Siege PvP

Siege PvP is Christina's strongest role.

Her kit provides:

• very high Siege Attack

• strong Siege Defense

• strong Siege HP

• excellent late-game scaling

• strong Covenant support

• no broad Skill Book restriction

This gives her a very complete offensive Siege profile.

Siege combat depends heavily on:

• Range

• troop tiers

• layering

• buffs

• debuffs

• March Size

• equipment

• Research

Christina should therefore be supported by a properly developed Siege account.

Christina for Siege Rallies

Christina also performs very well as a Siege rally General.

Her Covenant can add in-rally Siege Attack, while her large offensive buffs fit rally leadership naturally.

However, rally performance still depends heavily on:

• Rally Capacity

• participant troop quality

• Research

• gear

• refines

• buffs

• debuffs

A strong General cannot compensate for weak Siege infrastructure.

Christina and Ranged Troops

Christina gains some Ranged buffs through:

• Bash

• 3-Star Ascension

• Peace of Westphalia

That does not make her a true Ranged General.

Her main offensive strength and overall identity are clearly Siege-focused.

Treat the Ranged bonuses as useful secondary support.

Christina on Defense

Christina is not ideal for passive Main City Defense.

The reason is simple:

her base Special Skill only activates while attacking.

Several later buffs are also attack-focused.

That means a dedicated Wall General will usually provide much better defensive value.

Is Christina Worth Ascending?

Yes, if Siege PvP is one of your main combat styles.

Her Ascension adds:

• more Siege Attack

• more Siege Defense

• more Siege HP

• better attacking performance

• improved survivability

The later stars are especially strong.

The main question is whether you can obtain enough copies or fragments to develop her properly.

Is Christina Worth Investing In?

Christina is worth investing in if:

• Siege PvP is one of your main troop types

• you can obtain enough copies to Ascend her

• you have a strong compatible Assistant

• you have developed Siege Research

• you can support her with strong Siege equipment and refines

• you can make meaningful Covenant progress

She is less attractive if:

• you rarely use Siege

• you already have a newer, heavily developed Siege pair

• you cannot Ascend her meaningfully

• your Siege Research or equipment is still weak

TEBA Verdict

Christina is a strong offensive Siege PvP General.

Her base Special Skill already provides:

• Siege Attack +50%

• Siege Defense +50%

• Siege HP +40%

and her Ascension, Specialties and Covenant push those stats considerably higher.

Her main limitation is that much of her kit is attack-focused, so she should not be treated as a defensive Wall General.

For players committed to Siege PvP, Christina remains a very strong option in 2026.

For F2P and low-spend players, accessibility is still the deciding factor.

A completed Siege General you can fully develop will usually provide more real-world value than a theoretically stronger premium option that remains unfinished.
