Ii Naomasa Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Ii Naomasa Evony Guide 2026

Ii Naomasa is an older Mounted PvP General in Evony: The King's Return built around exceptional Mounted Troop HP.

He is best suited to:

• Mounted PvP

• secondary Mounted marches

• Mounted-heavy Battlefield attacks

• durable cavalry marches

• Monster Hunting as a secondary role

• players who already have him developed

His biggest strengths are:

• extremely high Mounted Troop HP

• useful Mounted Troop Attack

• good native March Size

• Enemy Troop HP reduction

• Enemy In-City Wounded into Death

• strong Assistant potential

• simple activation conditions

Ii Naomasa should primarily be built around Mounted Troops.

Is Ii Naomasa Good in Evony?

Yes, but his strength is unusual.

Ii Naomasa is not built around huge Mounted Attack.

His Special Skill provides:

• Mounted Troop Attack +25%

• Mounted Troop HP +40%

whenever he is leading the army.

That means his cavalry can be extremely durable even though his offensive ceiling is lower than many newer Mounted Generals.

Ii Naomasa Best Role

Best Role: Mounted PvP

Also Good For:

• secondary Mounted marches

• Mounted defense

• Monster Hunting

• Assistant General use

Avoid Using For:

• Ground PvP

• Ranged PvP

• Siege PvP

• Subordinate City Mayor

• Duty Officer

Mounted is clearly his correct troop type.

Ii Naomasa Special Skill

Ii Naomasa's Special Skill is:

Red Demon

When Ii Naomasa is leading the army:

• Mounted Troop Attack +25%

• Mounted Troop HP +40%

There is no attacking-only condition.

There is no Dragon requirement.

This makes Red Demon flexible for both:

• attacking

• defending

Why Mounted HP Matters

Mounted Troops can deal huge damage, but survivability is often one of their biggest weaknesses.

Ii Naomasa addresses that directly.

His large Mounted HP package helps cavalry survive:

• enemy counterattacks

• prolonged PvP combat

• high-level Monster fights

• large Ground-heavy engagements

His identity is therefore more durable than explosive.

Ii Naomasa Ascension

Ascending Ii Naomasa significantly improves both his Mounted HP and March Size.

1 Star

• Mounted Troop HP +20%

This immediately strengthens his defining stat.

2 Stars

When attacking:

• Enemy In-City Troop Wounded into Death Rate +10%

This makes successful city attacks more punishing.

3 Stars

• March Size Capacity +6%

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

This improves both troop volume and damage.

4 Stars

• Mounted Troop Attack +5%

• Mounted Troop HP +30%

This is a huge survivability increase.

5 Stars

• March Size Capacity +8%

• Mounted Troop Attack +20%

The fifth star gives another strong offensive and March Size boost.

How Much Mounted Attack Does Ii Naomasa Gain from Ascension?

Ii Naomasa gains:

• Mounted Attack +10% at 3-Star

• Mounted Attack +5% at 4-Star

• Mounted Attack +20% at 5-Star

That gives:

35% additional Mounted Troop Attack

from Ascension.

Combined with his base skill:

• Mounted Attack +25%

that gives:

60% Mounted Attack

before Specialties.

How Much Mounted HP Does Ii Naomasa Gain from Ascension?

• Mounted HP +20% at 1-Star

• Mounted HP +30% at 4-Star

That gives:

50% additional Mounted HP

from Ascension.

that gives:

90% Mounted HP

before Specialties.

Ii Naomasa Specialties

Ii Naomasa has four Specialties.

Mounted Troop Defense

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

This directly supports his durability-focused build.

Suppress

• Enemy Troop HP -10%

This is a useful broad debuff.

It affects:

• Ground

• Mounted

• Ranged

• Siege

Mounted Troop Ares

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

This gives a balanced Mounted increase.

Siege of Odawara

• Mounted Troop Attack +25%

• Mounted Troop HP +35%

Siege of Odawara is Ii Naomasa's standout Specialty.

It reinforces exactly what makes him distinctive:

• more Mounted damage

• enormous Mounted HP

How Much Mounted Attack Can Ii Naomasa Add?

Ii Naomasa gains Mounted Attack from:

• Red Demon: +25%

• 3-Star Ascension: +10%

• 4-Star Ascension: +5%

• 5-Star Ascension: +20%

• Mounted Troop Ares: +10%

• Siege of Odawara: +25%

That gives:

95% Mounted Troop Attack

from his own fully developed kit.

This is respectable, but modern premium Mounted Generals can exceed it significantly.

How Much Mounted HP Can Ii Naomasa Add?

• Red Demon: +40%

• 1-Star Ascension: +20%

• 4-Star Ascension: +30%

• Mounted Troop Defense: +10%

• Mounted Troop Ares: +10%

• Siege of Odawara: +35%

That gives:

145% Mounted Troop HP

from his own fully developed kit.

This is Ii Naomasa's defining stat.

How Much Mounted Defense Can Ii Naomasa Add?

Ii Naomasa gains:

• Mounted Defense +10% from Mounted Troop Defense

• Mounted Defense +10% from Mounted Troop Ares

That gives:

20% Mounted Troop Defense

from his Specialties.

His Defense is much lower than his HP.

How Much Native March Size Does Ii Naomasa Get?

Ii Naomasa gains:

• March Size +6% at 3-Star

• March Size +8% at 5-Star

That gives:

14% native March Size

when fully Ascended.

If you also use a Lv4 March Size Skill Book:

• March Size +12%

his personal contribution becomes:

26% March Size

before account-wide systems.

Ii Naomasa's Enemy HP Debuff

Suppress provides:

• Enemy Troop HP -10%

This is a useful broad debuff.

It helps increase damage against all troop types.

However, Ii Naomasa is not a dedicated debuff General.

Treat this as a useful extra rather than his defining feature.

Best Skill Books for Ii Naomasa Mounted PvP

Ii Naomasa's Special Skill already contains Mounted Troop Attack.

Because fixed skills can conflict with equivalent Skill Books, the safest standard PvP setup is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Speed

• Lv4 March Size

This improves:

• survivability

• engagement speed

• troop volume

Alternative Mounted PvP Build

If you want more balanced durability, use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Defense

• Lv4 March Size

This pushes Ii Naomasa even further toward his natural strength:

• surviving longer

Best Skill Books for Monster Hunting

For Monster Hunting, a strong setup is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP

• Lv4 March Size

This improves:

• Monster damage

• Mounted survivability

• total troop volume

Monster Loot Hybrid Build

If you already defeat the target comfortably, use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Luck

• Lv4 March Size

This trades some survivability for:

• increased Double Item Drop Rate

That can make repeated Monster farming more efficient.

Ii Naomasa for Mounted PvP

Mounted PvP is Ii Naomasa's main role.

His developed kit gives:

• Mounted Attack

• massive Mounted HP

• some Mounted Defense

• 14% native March Size

• Enemy HP reduction

• Wounded-to-Death pressure

This makes him a very durable cavalry leader.

Ii Naomasa Against Ground Troops

Mounted Troops are naturally effective against Ground-heavy formations.

Ii Naomasa's huge HP package helps his Mounted Troops survive while dealing damage.

This is one of his best PvP matchups.

Ii Naomasa Against Ranged Troops

Mounted Troops can struggle badly against strong Ranged formations.

Ii Naomasa's extra HP helps, but it does not remove the troop-type disadvantage.

Scout carefully before committing a large Mounted march into a strong Ranged setup.

Ii Naomasa for Monster Hunting

Ii Naomasa can also work as a Monster Hunter.

His:

• Mounted Attack

• massive Mounted HP

• March Size

help against Boss Monsters.

However, he lacks specialist Monster effects such as:

• Monster Defense reduction

• Monster HP reduction

• Double Item Drop

• Stamina reduction

That makes Monster Hunting a secondary role rather than his main identity.

Ii Naomasa as an Assistant General

Ii Naomasa can make a useful Mounted Assistant.

His base skill provides:

• Mounted Attack +25%

• Mounted HP +40%

without complicated activation conditions.

That makes him attractive when your Main General already supplies huge Attack but could benefit from more survivability.

Always test compatibility in-game before spending valuable resources.

Best Assistant Generals for Ii Naomasa

Current TEBA data highlights:

• George Monck

• Hestia

• Haakon the Good

as pairing directions.

Look for a partner that adds:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Defense

• Mounted HP

• March Size

without disabling Red Demon.

Ii Naomasa for Main City Defense

Ii Naomasa's base skill is not attack-only.

That means his Mounted:

• Attack

• HP

can still work in defensive situations.

His enormous HP also gives some Mounted Defense potential.

However, dedicated modern Wall Generals provide much stronger:

• In-City buffs

• enemy debuffs

• multi-troop defensive support

Ii Naomasa should not normally be your long-term primary Wall General.

Equipment and Refines

For Mounted PvP, prioritise percentage-based Mounted refines.

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

This complements Ii Naomasa's durability-focused kit.

Is Ii Naomasa Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes, but mainly because of his extreme Mounted HP.

His fully developed kit can provide:

• Mounted Attack +95%

• Mounted Defense +20%

• Mounted HP +145%

• March Size +14%

• Enemy Troop HP -10%

• Enemy In-City Wounded into Death +10%

before Skill Books and equipment.

That is an unusual stat profile.

His Attack is modest by modern standards.

His HP is excellent.

Is Ii Naomasa F2P Friendly?

Potentially.

Current acquisition sources disagree.

Several specialist guides list Ii Naomasa as available through:

• Relics

while another current database lists:

• Tavern

• 60,000,000 Gold

• Premium Packages

Because these sources conflict, check the current live:

• Relic rewards

• Tavern

• Historic General recruitment pools

before spending specifically to obtain him.

How to Obtain Ii Naomasa

Current sources disagree on Ii Naomasa's acquisition.

He has been listed through:

• Relics

• premium packages

while some current databases also display:

• Tavern

• 60,000,000 Gold

Evony changes General pools over time.

Verify the current live recruitment method before committing large amounts of Gems or Gold.

Is Ii Naomasa Worth Ascending?

Potentially, yes.

His Ascension adds:

• Mounted Attack +35%

• Mounted HP +50%

• March Size +14%

• Enemy In-City Wounded into Death +10%

This substantially improves him.

The 4-Star and 5-Star levels are particularly valuable.

However, Blood of Ares should usually go to stronger modern main combat Generals first unless Ii Naomasa is already central to your account.

Is Ii Naomasa Worth Specialties?

Potentially.

Siege of Odawara adds:

• Mounted Attack +25%

• Mounted HP +35%

while his other Specialties add:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Defense

• Mounted HP

• Enemy HP reduction

This pushes his Mounted HP to an extremely high level.

However, Runestones are expensive.

If you are starting from zero, compare him carefully with newer Mounted Generals first.

Is Ii Naomasa Worth Investing In?

Ii Naomasa is worth investing in if:

• you already own him

• Mounted PvP is important to your account

• you value cavalry survivability

• you need another Mounted march

• you want a durable Mounted Assistant

• you can obtain enough fragments to Ascend him

He is less attractive if:

• you are building a fresh endgame Mounted march from zero

• you already own stronger modern Mounted Generals

• your Blood of Ares is limited

• your Runestones are limited

• you want maximum raw Mounted Attack

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Ii Naomasa is a very unusual Mounted General.

His fully developed personal package can provide approximately:

• Mounted Attack +95%

• Mounted Defense +20%

• Mounted HP +145%

• March Size +14%

before Skill Books and equipment.

That makes his strengths and weaknesses very obvious.

His strength is:

• Mounted HP

His weakness is:

• comparatively modest Mounted Attack

• comparatively modest Mounted Defense

Modern Mounted Generals can provide much larger balanced packages.

But very few older cavalry Generals are as heavily focused on keeping Mounted Troops alive.

TEBA Verdict

Ii Naomasa is an older Mounted PvP General built around exceptional Mounted Troop HP.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Mounted Attack +25%

• Mounted HP +40%

whenever he leads.

His Ascension then adds:

• Mounted Attack +35%

• Mounted HP +50%

• March Size +14%

• Enemy In-City Wounded into Death +10%

while his Specialties add:

• Mounted Attack +35%

• Mounted HP +55%

• Mounted Defense +20%

• Enemy Troop HP -10%

His biggest strengths are:

• exceptional Mounted HP

• useful March Size

• straightforward activation

• strong Assistant potential

• secondary Monster Hunting use

His biggest weaknesses are:

• relatively low Mounted Attack by modern standards

• relatively low Mounted Defense

• unclear current acquisition route

• much stronger balanced Mounted Generals now existing

For players who already own and have developed Ii Naomasa, he remains a very usable Mounted PvP General in 2026.

For players starting from zero, his best value is his enormous cavalry survivability rather than raw damage.
