Godfrey of Bouillon Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

EVONY: EUROPE

Godfrey of Bouillon – Defender of the Holy Sepulchre and the First King of Jerusalem.

Godfrey of Bouillon Evony Guide 2026


Godfrey of Bouillon is a powerful and unusually flexible Ranged General in Evony: The King's Return.


He is best suited to:


• Ranged PvP

• Ranged attacking marches

• Ranged rallies

• Main City Defense

• Ranged-heavy defensive builds

• Battlefield

• Server War

• secondary endgame Ranged marches

• players who want one General capable of both attack and defense


His biggest strengths are:


• strong Ranged Troop Attack

• very strong Ranged Troop Defense

• very strong Ranged Troop HP

• useful native March Size

• excellent Ascension

• balanced Specialties

• no major Skill Book restriction

• strong defensive flexibility

• Covenant support

• secondary Siege defensive support


Godfrey of Bouillon's best overall role is:


Ranged PvP


However, unlike many attacking Generals, he also has a legitimate secondary role as:


Main City Defense General


Is Godfrey of Bouillon Good in Evony?


Yes.


Godfrey of Bouillon remains a very capable Ranged General in 2026.


His biggest advantage is versatility.


His Special Skill provides:


• Ranged Troop Attack +40%

• Ranged Troop HP +40%

• Ranged Troop Defense +10%

• Siege Machine Defense +10%


whenever he is leading the army.


Unlike many premium Ranged Generals, those core buffs do not require him to be:


• attacking

• marching

• rallying


This means they can also function while defending.


His Ascension adds:


• more Ranged Attack

• large amounts of Ranged Defense

• large amounts of Ranged HP

• March Size

• Troop Death into Wounded


His Specialties add:


• more Ranged Attack

• more Ranged Defense

• more Ranged HP

• additional March Size

• limited Siege support


His Covenant then adds:


• Ranged Defense

• defending Ranged Attack

• defending Ranged Defense

• In-City Ranged HP

• In-City Ranged Attack

• In-City Siege support

• March Speed

• account-wide Ranged/Siege Attack

• Ranged Training Capacity


Godfrey of Bouillon Best Role


Best Role:


• Ranged PvP


Secondary Role:


• Main City Defense


Also Good For:


• Ranged rallies

• Battlefield

• Server War

• secondary Ranged marches

• Ranged-heavy Wall builds

• mixed Ranged/Siege defense


Avoid Using For:


• Ground PvP

• Mounted PvP

• Monster Hunting

• pure Siege PvP Main

• Subordinate City Mayor

• Duty Officer


Ranged Troops are clearly Godfrey's primary troop type.


Godfrey of Bouillon Special Skill


Godfrey of Bouillon's Special Skill is:


King of Jerusalem


When Godfrey of Bouillon is leading the army:


• Ranged Troop Attack +40%

• Ranged Troop HP +40%

• Ranged Troop Defense +10%

• Siege Machine Defense +10%


This is an excellent balanced Ranged skill.


The important detail is that it does not say:


• when attacking

• when marching

• when Main City Defense General


The buff activates simply when:


Godfrey is leading the army.


That gives him unusually broad flexibility.


Why Godfrey Is So Versatile


Many modern Evony Generals have large buffs that only activate:


• while attacking

• while marching

• while defending the Main City


Godfrey's base skill is broader.


His main:


• Ranged Attack

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP


can function in both offensive and defensive situations.


Most of his Ascension and Specialties also work broadly.


This allows Godfrey to perform as:


• attacking Ranged General

• defensive Ranged General


without completely wasting his kit in either role.


Godfrey of Bouillon Ascension


Godfrey has a strong Ranged-focused Ascension tree.


1 Star


• Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• Ranged Troop Defense +15%


This provides an immediate balanced combat increase.


2 Stars


• Marching Troop Death into Wounded Rate +8%


This helps reduce permanent troop losses when marching into combat.


3 Stars


• March Size Capacity +10%


This is one of Godfrey's strongest Ascension levels.


Larger marches increase:


• total Ranged damage

• troop volume

• rally contribution

• overall PvP effectiveness


4 Stars


• Ranged Troop Defense +30%

• Ranged Troop HP +30%


This is an enormous survivability upgrade.


5 Stars


• Ranged Troop Attack +25%

• Ranged Troop Defense +15%

• Ranged Troop HP +15%


The fifth star gives another large balanced Ranged increase.


Godfrey Ascension Totals


Across all five Ascension stars, Godfrey gains approximately:


• Ranged Attack +35%

• Ranged Defense +60%

• Ranged HP +45%

• March Size +10%

• Marching Troop Death into Wounded +8%


This is one of the reasons Godfrey develops into such a durable Ranged General.


Godfrey of Bouillon Specialties


Godfrey has four Specialties.


Ranged Troop Defense


• Ranged Troop HP +10%

• Ranged Troop Defense +10%


This reinforces his defensive strength.


Siege


• March Size Capacity +6%

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +10%

• Attacking Ranged Troop Attack +10%


For a Ranged attacking build, the key effects are:


• Ranged Attack +10%

• March Size +6%


Ranged Troop Ares


• Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• Ranged Troop HP +10%

• Ranged Troop Defense +10%


This gives another balanced Ranged increase.


Advocate of the Holy Sepulchre


• Ranged Troop Attack +30%

• Ranged Troop Defense +10%

• Ranged Troop HP +10%


This is Godfrey's standout Specialty.


It adds a large amount of Ranged combat power without an attacking-only restriction.


Godfrey Specialty Totals for Ranged PvP


When attacking, Godfrey's Specialties can provide approximately:


• Ranged Attack +50%

• Ranged Defense +30%

• Ranged HP +30%

• March Size +6%


This includes the attacking Ranged Attack bonus from Siege.


How Much Ranged Attack Can Godfrey Add?


For attacking Ranged PvP, Godfrey gains Ranged Attack from:


• King of Jerusalem: +40%

• 1-Star Ascension: +10%

• 5-Star Ascension: +25%

• Siege Specialty: +10% when attacking

• Ranged Troop Ares: +10%

• Advocate of the Holy Sepulchre: +30%


That gives approximately:


125% Ranged Troop Attack


from his own fully developed attacking kit.


This is before:


• Covenant

• Skill Books

• equipment

• refines

• Dragons

• Spiritual Beasts

• account-wide buffs


How Much Ranged Defense Can Godfrey Add?


Godfrey gains Ranged Defense from:


• King of Jerusalem: +10%

• 1-Star Ascension: +15%

• 4-Star Ascension: +30%

• 5-Star Ascension: +15%

• Ranged Troop Defense Specialty: +10%

• Ranged Troop Ares: +10%

• Advocate of the Holy Sepulchre: +10%


That gives approximately:


100% Ranged Troop Defense


from his own fully developed kit.


How Much Ranged HP Can Godfrey Add?


Godfrey gains Ranged HP from:


• King of Jerusalem: +40%

• 4-Star Ascension: +30%

• 5-Star Ascension: +15%

• Ranged Troop Defense Specialty: +10%

• Ranged Troop Ares: +10%

• Advocate of the Holy Sepulchre: +10%


That gives approximately:


115% Ranged Troop HP


from his own fully developed kit.


How Much Native March Size Does Godfrey Get?


Godfrey gains:


• March Size +10% from 3-Star Ascension

• March Size +6% from Siege Specialty


That gives:


16% native March Size


when fully developed.


With a Lv4 March Size Skill Book:


• March Size +12%


his personal contribution becomes:


28% March Size


before account-wide systems.


This is an excellent March Size package.


Godfrey Full Attacking Ranged Package


Before Covenant and Skill Books, a fully developed Godfrey can provide approximately:


• Ranged Attack +125%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%

• March Size +16%

• Marching Troop Death into Wounded +8%


This is a highly balanced Ranged PvP package.


His greatest strength is not simply Attack.


It is the combination of:


• damage

• survivability

• troop volume


Godfrey and Siege Machines


Godfrey provides some secondary Siege support.


His base skill gives:


• Siege Machine Defense +10%


Siege Specialty provides when attacking:


• Siege Machine Attack +10%


His Covenant can later add additional:


• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP


especially in defensive situations.


However, Godfrey should not be confused with a dedicated Siege General.


Ranged remains his strongest troop type.


Best Skill Books for Godfrey Ranged PvP


Godfrey has excellent Skill Book compatibility.


A strong Ranged PvP build is:


• Lv4 Ranged Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus

• Lv4 March Size


This improves:


• Ranged damage

• attack range

• total troop volume


This is the cleanest offensive Godfrey build.


Alternative Godfrey Ranged PvP Build


For extra survivability, consider:


• Lv4 Ranged Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus

• Lv4 Ranged Troop HP


This sacrifices additional March Size for more durability.


Why Ranged Range Bonus Matters


Ranged Troops fight from distance.


Increasing Ranged Range can allow them to:


• attack sooner

• gain extra attack opportunities

• damage approaching enemies before close combat begins


For serious Ranged PvP:


Ranged Troop Range Bonus is extremely valuable.


Godfrey for Ranged PvP


Ranged PvP is Godfrey's best overall role.


His fully developed own-kit attacking package can provide approximately:


• Ranged Attack +125%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%

• March Size +16%


before Covenant and Skill Books.


His HP and Defense are particularly strong.


This makes Godfrey more durable than many older Ranged Generals that focus heavily on Attack but provide much less survivability.


Godfrey for Ranged Rallies


Godfrey can also perform well in Ranged rallies.


His strengths include:


• balanced Ranged stats

• good native March Size

• strong HP

• strong Defense

• Covenant support


However, his own kit does not provide a large Rally Capacity bonus.


For elite rally leadership, compare him with newer Ranged Generals that may provide larger rally-specific buffs.


Godfrey as a Main City Defense General


Godfrey has a legitimate secondary role as a Main City Defense General.


This is important.


His Special Skill is not attack-only.


Most of his major Ranged buffs remain active while defending.


That allows him to provide approximately:


• strong Ranged Attack

• extremely strong Ranged Defense

• extremely strong Ranged HP


before Covenant.


His Covenant then adds several effects specifically designed for:


• defending

• In-City combat


This clearly confirms that Evony intended Godfrey to have a real defensive role.


Godfrey Defensive Ranged Attack


Godfrey's defensive Ranged Attack comes from:


• King of Jerusalem: +40%

• 1-Star Ascension: +10%

• 5-Star Ascension: +25%

• Ranged Troop Ares: +10%

• Advocate of the Holy Sepulchre: +30%


The attacking-only +10% from Siege Specialty does not apply.


That gives approximately:


115% Ranged Attack


from his own fully developed defensive kit before Covenant.


Godfrey Defensive Ranged Defense


His defensive Ranged Defense remains approximately:


• Ranged Defense +100%


before Covenant.


This is because the major Defense buffs are not attack-only.


Godfrey Defensive Ranged HP


His defensive Ranged HP remains approximately:


• Ranged HP +115%


before Covenant.


This gives him an unusually durable Ranged Wall package.


Godfrey Covenant


Godfrey can establish a Covenant with:


• Philip II

• Baldwin IV

• Richard the Lionheart


His Covenant reinforces both:


• Ranged PvP

• Main City Defense


and contains a mixture of:


• Godfrey-only buffs

• unconditional account-wide buffs


Godfrey Covenant War


War provides:


For Godfrey:


• Ranged Troop Defense +5%


Unconditional account bonus:


• Ranged Troop Training Capacity +5%


The Defense effect directly improves Godfrey.


The Training Capacity effect benefits the account regardless of whether Godfrey is leading.


Godfrey Covenant Cooperation


Cooperation provides for Godfrey:


• Defending Ranged Troop Attack +10%


This specifically strengthens his Wall role.


Godfrey Covenant Peace


Peace provides for Godfrey:


• March Speed +15%


It also provides an unconditional account bonus:


• Ranged Troop Attack +5%

• Siege Machine Attack +5%


The account-wide Attack bonus is valuable even when Godfrey is not being used.


Godfrey Covenant Faith


Faith provides for Godfrey while defending:


• Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• Ranged Troop Defense +15%


This is another clear indication that his Covenant was designed partly around Main City Defense.


Godfrey Covenant Honor


Honor provides for Godfrey:


• In-City Ranged Troop HP +10%

• In-City Siege Machine HP +10%


This improves city-defense survivability.


Godfrey Covenant Civilization


Civilization provides for Godfrey:


• In-City Ranged Troop Attack +5%

• In-City Siege Machine Attack +5%

• In-City Ranged Troop Defense +5%

• In-City Siege Machine Defense +5%


This adds another balanced defensive layer.


Godfrey Covenant Attack Value


For offensive Ranged PvP, Godfrey's main personal Covenant combat bonuses are less dramatic than his defensive ones.


His own attacking package remains approximately:


• Ranged Attack +125%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%

• March Size +16%


War can add:


• Ranged Defense +5%


Peace also gives:


• March Speed +15%


while its account-wide effect provides:


• Ranged Attack +5%


to the account.


This means Godfrey's Covenant is particularly valuable because it supports his attack role while strongly expanding his defensive flexibility.


Godfrey Covenant Defense Value


Godfrey becomes significantly stronger on defense once his personal Covenant effects are unlocked.


Before Covenant, his defensive Ranged package is approximately:


• Ranged Attack +115%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%


His Godfrey-specific Covenant effects can then add:


• Defending Ranged Attack +20%

• Ranged Defense +5%

• Defending Ranged Defense +15%

• In-City Ranged Attack +5%

• In-City Ranged Defense +5%

• In-City Ranged HP +10%


This can bring his Godfrey-specific defensive contribution to approximately:


• Ranged Attack +140%

• Ranged Defense +125%

• Ranged HP +125%


before Skill Books and equipment.


There is also an unconditional account-wide:


• Ranged Attack +5%


from the Peace Covenant.


Keep account-wide bonuses separate when comparing one General's personal kit against another General.


Godfrey Full Defensive Package


With his main personal Covenant effects unlocked, Godfrey can provide approximately:


• Ranged Attack +140%

• Ranged Defense +125%

• Ranged HP +125%


from his own relevant General-specific defensive effects.


The account can also receive:


• Ranged Attack +5%


from his unconditional Covenant bonus.


This makes Godfrey considerably stronger as a Wall General than his basic skill alone suggests.


Godfrey Ranged Defense Skill Books


For a Ranged-heavy Wall build, consider:


• Lv4 Ranged Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ranged Troop HP

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus


This supports:


• damage

• survivability

• firing range


The exact Wall build should still be adjusted around:


• Assistant General

• equipment

• refines

• troop composition

• existing account buffs


Godfrey Equipment for Ranged PvP


For attacking Ranged PvP, percentage refines can focus on:


Weapon


• Ranged Troop Attack %


Ring


• Ranged Troop Attack %


Armor


• Ranged Troop Defense %


Boots


• Ranged Troop Defense %


Helmet


• Ranged Troop HP %


Leg Armor


• Ranged Troop HP %


This creates a balanced Ranged build.


Godfrey Equipment for Main City Defense


If using Godfrey on the Wall, do not simply copy an attacking Ranged equipment setup.


Defensive equipment should also consider:


• enemy Attack debuffs

• enemy Defense debuffs

• enemy HP debuffs

• broad In-City buffs

• Siege survivability

• overall troop composition


Wall equipment must support the entire city rather than one march.


Godfrey Mixed Ranged and Siege Defense


Godfrey has some legitimate Ranged/Siege defensive synergy.


He provides:


• Siege Defense from King of Jerusalem

• additional Siege HP through Covenant

• additional Siege Attack through Covenant

• additional Siege Defense through Covenant


However, most of his personal combat power remains focused on Ranged Troops.


A Ranged-heavy defense with Siege support is more natural than treating him as a true Siege Wall General.


Godfrey for T1 Defense


Godfrey is not specifically designed as a T1 Mounted Wall General.


His kit is overwhelmingly focused on:


• Ranged Troops


A serious T1 defense typically depends heavily on:


• enormous low-tier troop numbers

• flat refines

• debuffs

• research

• Assistant General

• Hospital Capacity

• account-wide systems


If your defense is primarily built around T1 Mounted troops, another Wall General may fit better.


Godfrey for Monster Hunting


No.


Godfrey lacks meaningful Monster-specific effects such as:


• Mounted Attack Against Monster

• Monster Defense reduction

• Monster HP reduction

• Double Item Drop

• Stamina reduction


Use a dedicated Monster General.


Godfrey for Siege PvP


Godfrey provides some Siege:


• Attack

• Defense

• Covenant support


but nowhere near enough Siege Attack to compete with a specialist Siege General.


Do not build him as a pure Siege PvP Main.


His correct combat identity remains:


• Ranged


Best Assistant Generals for Godfrey


Current TEBA data highlights:


• Ragnar


as a strong pairing direction.


Other modern Ranged Generals may also work depending on:


• Special Skill compatibility

• Ascension

• Covenant

• troop composition


Useful Assistant effects include:


• Ranged Attack

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• March Size

• enemy debuffs


Always verify compatibility in-game before investing heavily.


Godfrey Assistant Compatibility


Godfrey has a relatively flexible fixed skill.


However, not every powerful Ranged General can automatically pair with him.


Before committing resources:


• assign Godfrey as Main

• assign the intended Assistant

• check whether both Special Skills remain active


Do this before spending:


• Runestones

• Blood of Ares

• premium equipment resources


Godfrey vs Merlin


Merlin has a significantly larger pure attacking Ranged stat package when fully developed.


Godfrey's advantage is:


• flexibility


Merlin is more naturally focused on:


• attacking Ranged PvP


Godfrey can realistically cover:


• attacking Ranged PvP

• Main City Defense


Godfrey may therefore suit players who value one highly developed General performing multiple Ranged roles.


Godfrey vs Older Ranged Generals


Godfrey is considerably more complete than many older Ranged Generals.


He provides:


• strong Attack

• excellent Defense

• excellent HP

• March Size

• Ascension

• Covenant


His defensive flexibility also gives him a second role that many attacking Ranged Generals cannot perform effectively.


Godfrey vs Modern Ranged Generals


Godfrey remains strong, but he is no longer automatically the absolute Ranged ceiling.


Newer premium Generals can provide:


• larger Attack

• larger March Size

• stronger rally bonuses

• larger Covenant buffs

• Skins

• ownership buffs

• more modern secondary effects


That means Godfrey should be evaluated around:


• how developed he already is

• whether you value his defensive flexibility

• available fragments

• Covenant development

• your existing Ranged lineup


Is Godfrey Still Relevant in 2026?


Yes.


Godfrey remains useful because his kit is unusually versatile.


As an attacker, his own fully developed package provides approximately:


• Ranged Attack +125%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%

• March Size +16%


before Covenant and Skill Books.


As a defender, his own pre-Covenant package remains approximately:


• Ranged Attack +115%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%


His personal defensive Covenant effects can then increase this to approximately:


• Ranged Attack +140%

• Ranged Defense +125%

• Ranged HP +125%


before Skill Books.


This gives him real two-role value.


Is Godfrey F2P Friendly?


Not really.


Godfrey was introduced as a premium/event General.


He is not a routine Tavern General.


Some databases display a nominal:


• 60,000,000 Gold


value.


Do not treat this as proof of Tavern availability.


His main limitations for F2P and low-spend players are:


• obtaining the first copy

• obtaining duplicate fragments

• fully Ascending him

• developing his Covenant


How to Obtain Godfrey of Bouillon


Godfrey originally entered Evony during the Easter Event.


He has been obtainable through systems including:


• Historic General Summoning

• Epic General Tokens

• Epic Historic General Tokens

• Epic Historic General Premium Tokens

• event packages

• rotating Historic General pools


He has also returned to Historic General Summoning pools in later events.


His availability rotates.


Always check the current live recruitment pool before spending specifically for him.


Godfrey Fragment Availability


Fragment availability matters because Godfrey gains a large amount of power through Ascension.


Full Ascension adds:


• Ranged Attack +35%

• Ranged Defense +60%

• Ranged HP +45%

• March Size +10%


Obtaining one copy is therefore only the beginning.


Before committing heavily to Godfrey, consider whether you can realistically obtain enough fragments for:


• 3-Star

• 4-Star

• 5-Star Ascension


Is Godfrey Worth Ascending?


Yes, if he is part of your long-term Ranged lineup.


His Ascension adds approximately:


• Ranged Attack +35%

• Ranged Defense +60%

• Ranged HP +45%

• March Size +10%

• Troop Death into Wounded +8%


The 4-Star and 5-Star levels are especially strong.


His main limitation is obtaining enough duplicate fragments.


Is Godfrey Worth Specialties?


Yes, if you intend to keep him long term.


His Specialties add approximately when attacking:


• Ranged Attack +50%

• Ranged Defense +30%

• Ranged HP +30%

• March Size +6%


Advocate of the Holy Sepulchre alone provides:


• Ranged Attack +30%

• Ranged Defense +10%

• Ranged HP +10%


This is a very useful fourth Specialty.


Runestones remain expensive, so prioritize according to how important Godfrey is to your permanent lineup.


Is Godfrey's Covenant Worth Developing?


Yes.


Godfrey's Covenant is particularly interesting because it increases his flexibility.


It adds:


• Ranged Defense

• Defending Ranged Attack

• Defending Ranged Defense

• In-City Ranged Attack

• In-City Ranged Defense

• In-City Ranged HP

• Siege defensive support

• March Speed

• account-wide Ranged/Siege Attack

• Ranged Training Capacity


The required Covenant Generals are:


• Philip II

• Baldwin IV

• Richard the Lionheart


For players using Godfrey on the Wall, Covenant development is especially valuable.


Is Godfrey Worth Investing In?


Godfrey is worth investing in if:


• Ranged PvP is important to your account

• you already own him

• you can obtain duplicate fragments

• you want a General who can attack and defend

• you can develop his Covenant

• you need a strong secondary Ranged march

• your Wall is Ranged-heavy

• you participate heavily in Battlefield


He is less attractive if:


• you are strictly F2P

• duplicate fragments are unrealistic

• you already own stronger fully developed modern Ranged Generals

• you already own a stronger dedicated Wall General

• Blood of Ares is limited

• Runestones are limited


TEBA 2026 Reality Check


Godfrey of Bouillon is not simply another older Ranged attacker.


His greatest advantage is:


versatility.


His fully developed attacking package before Covenant is approximately:


• Ranged Attack +125%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%

• March Size +16%


His defensive package before Covenant is approximately:


• Ranged Attack +115%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%


With his main Godfrey-specific defensive Covenant effects unlocked, this can rise to approximately:


• Ranged Attack +140%

• Ranged Defense +125%

• Ranged HP +125%


before Skill Books and equipment.


His Covenant also provides account-wide:


• Ranged/Siege Attack +5%

• Ranged Training Capacity +5%


These account-wide bonuses should be kept separate from his personal General totals.


Godfrey's raw attacking Attack stat is lower than some newer premium Ranged Generals.


However, his:


• excellent HP

• excellent Defense

• native March Size

• strong Ascension

• dual attack/defense capability


give him a useful niche that pure attackers do not have.


TEBA Verdict


Godfrey of Bouillon is a strong premium Ranged General with genuine attacking and defensive flexibility.


His base Special Skill provides:


• Ranged Attack +40%

• Ranged HP +40%

• Ranged Defense +10%

• Siege Defense +10%


whenever he leads the army.


His Ascension adds approximately:


• Ranged Attack +35%

• Ranged Defense +60%

• Ranged HP +45%

• March Size +10%

• Troop Death into Wounded +8%


while his Specialties add approximately when attacking:


• Ranged Attack +50%

• Ranged Defense +30%

• Ranged HP +30%

• March Size +6%


His fully developed attacking Ranged package therefore reaches approximately:


• Ranged Attack +125%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%

• March Size +16%


before Covenant and Skill Books.


Unlike most attacking Generals, Godfrey also remains genuinely useful on the Wall.


His defensive package starts at approximately:


• Ranged Attack +115%

• Ranged Defense +100%

• Ranged HP +115%


before Covenant.


His Covenant with:


• Philip II

• Baldwin IV

• Richard the Lionheart


can then push his General-specific defensive package to approximately:


• Ranged Attack +140%

• Ranged Defense +125%

• Ranged HP +125%


before Skill Books and equipment.


His biggest strengths are:


• strong Ranged Attack

• exceptional Ranged survivability

• excellent native March Size

• excellent Ascension

• no major Skill Book restriction

• real Main City Defense capability

• strong defensive Covenant

• useful Siege defensive support

• strong two-role flexibility


His biggest weaknesses are:


• premium/event acquisition

• difficult duplicate fragments

• expensive Ascension

• expensive Specialties

• lower pure attacking ceiling than some newer premium Ranged Generals

• Covenant development requires three additional Generals


For players who already own and can develop him, Godfrey of Bouillon remains a very useful Ranged General in 2026.


His modern identity is not simply:


Ranged attacker.


It is:


a durable Ranged PvP General who can also transition into a genuinely strong Ranged Main City Defense role when required.
