Heroine of the Yang Family

When Mu Guiying is leading the army:

• Siege Machine Attack +45%

• Siege Machine Defense +20%

• Siege Machine HP +20%

There is no attacking-only condition.

There is no Dragon requirement.

That makes her base skill flexible enough to support both offensive and defensive Siege use.

Mu Guiying Ascension

Ascending Mu Guiying significantly improves her Siege performance.

1 Star

• Siege Machine Attack +5%

• Siege Machine Defense +15%

This immediately improves both damage and durability.

2 Stars

When Mu Guiying is attacking:

• Troop Death into Wounded Rate +10%

This helps reduce permanent troop losses during offensive PvP.

• March Size Capacity +8%

The March Size increase is one of the most useful parts of this Ascension level.

4 Stars

• Ranged Troop Defense +20%

This is a major Siege upgrade.

It also gives some useful Ranged durability for mixed formations.

The fifth star gives another large all-round Siege increase.

Mu Guiying gains:

• +5% Siege Attack at 1-Star

• +5% Siege Attack at 3-Star

• +30% Siege Attack at 4-Star

• +25% Siege Attack at 5-Star

That gives:

65% additional Siege Machine Attack

from Ascension alone.

Combined with her base skill:

• +45% Siege Attack

that gives:

110% Siege Machine Attack

before Specialties, Covenant and other systems.

Siege Machine Assault

The +40% Ranged Attack also makes mixed Ranged/Siege setups more interesting.

• Siege Attack

Best Skill Books for Mu Guiying

There is one important limitation:

Mu Guiying cannot use the normal Siege Machine Attack Skill Book because it conflicts with Heroine of the Yang Family.

A strong Siege PvP setup is:

• Lv4 Siege Machine HP

• Lv4 Siege Machine Range Bonus

• Lv4 March Size

This improves:

• Siege survivability

• engagement range

• total troop count

Alternative Siege PvP Build

If you want more durability, you can use:

• Lv4 Siege Machine Defense

• Lv4 Siege Machine Range Bonus

• Lv4 Siege Machine HP

This sacrifices March Size for more survivability.

Why Siege Range Matters

Siege Machines depend heavily on range.

Siege Machine Range Bonus lets them begin firing from farther away.

That can be extremely important in:

• Siege vs Siege battles

• Siege-heavy city attacks

• large-scale rally combat

For most serious Siege builds, Range Bonus should be treated as a core Skill Book.

Mu Guiying for Siege PvP

Siege PvP is Mu Guiying's best role.

Her developed kit provides:

• very high Siege Attack

• strong Siege Defense

• strong Siege HP

• useful March Size

• strong Covenant scaling

• in-rally Siege buffs

• some Ranged support

This makes her especially useful for coordinated high-level PvP.

Mu Guiying for Siege Rallies

Her Covenant gives specific in-rally bonuses including:

• In-Rally Siege Attack

• In-Rally Siege Defense

• In-Rally Siege HP

That makes her especially interesting as a Siege rally General.

Players who participate heavily in coordinated Alliance War can get more value from her than solo players.

Mu Guiying for Main City Defense

Mu Guiying can also work as a Siege-focused Defense General.

Her base skill is not attack-only.

That means she retains:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

while defending.

Her Ascension and Specialties add even more Siege durability.

However, dedicated modern Wall Generals may provide broader:

• In-City buffs

• enemy debuffs

• multi-troop support

Use Mu Guiying primarily when your defense is heavily Siege-based.

Mu Guiying and Ranged Troops

Mu Guiying also provides meaningful Ranged support.

Her kit can add:

• Ranged Defense through 4-Star Ascension

• Ranged Attack +10% from Bash

• Ranged Attack +40% from Defeat the Liao Army

This makes mixed:

• Ranged

• Siege

setups viable.

However, Siege should remain the core troop type.

Best Assistant Generals for Mu Guiying

Current TEBA data highlights:

• Christina

as a strong pairing option.

The ideal Assistant should add:

• Siege Machine Attack

• Siege Machine Defense

• Siege Machine HP

• March Size

• useful attacking or rally buffs

without disabling Heroine of the Yang Family.

Always test Main and Assistant compatibility in-game before heavy investment.

Equipment and Refines

For Siege PvP, prioritise percentage-based Siege refines.

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

This gives Mu Guiying a balanced Siege build.

Is Mu Guiying Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes.

Her raw Siege numbers remain strong.

She can provide:

• very high Siege Attack

• strong Siege Defense

• strong Siege HP

• useful March Size

• Covenant scaling

• rally-specific Siege buffs

• Ranged support

She has also benefited from later systems such as:

• Ascension

• Covenant

which have increased her ceiling beyond what older guides show.

Is Mu Guiying F2P Friendly?

Not especially.

Mu Guiying has historically been a premium General.

She is not listed as a standard Tavern General.

However, Evony added her to the Historic General Summoning Pool in the April 2025 update.

That gives players more opportunities to obtain her through limited recruitment events.

She should still be treated as significantly less accessible than Tavern Generals.

How to Obtain Mu Guiying

Mu Guiying has historically been obtained through:

• Premium Packages

• Historic General recruitment events

TEBA confirmed that she was added to the Historic General Summoning Pool in April 2025.

She is not a normal Tavern recruitment General.

Always check the current event pool before spending specifically to obtain her.

Is Mu Guiying Worth Ascending?

Yes, if she is one of your main Siege Generals.

Her Ascension adds:

• Siege Attack +65%

• Siege Defense +50%

• Siege HP +15%

• March Size +8%

• Troop Death into Wounded +10%

• some Ranged Defense

These are very significant improvements.

The biggest issue is obtaining enough duplicate fragments.

Premium and event-based Generals can be expensive to fully Ascend.

Is Mu Guiying Worth Specialties?

Yes.

Defeat the Liao Army alone provides:

• Siege Machine Attack +40%

• Ranged Troop Attack +40%

Her other Specialties add:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

This is a strong complete Specialty package.

If Mu Guiying is one of your main Siege Generals, her Specialties are worth developing.

Is Mu Guiying Covenant Worth Developing?

Yes.

Her Covenant adds:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• March Size

• in-rally Siege buffs

• Marching Siege Attack

These effects make her significantly stronger in coordinated PvP.

Is Mu Guiying Worth Investing In?

Mu Guiying is worth investing in if:

• Siege PvP is one of your main combat styles

• you participate in large rallies

• you already own her

• you can obtain Ascension fragments

• you can build her Covenant

• you need a strong Siege secondary march

• you want some Ranged/Siege flexibility

She is less attractive if:

• you are strictly F2P

• Siege repair costs are already a problem

• you cannot realistically obtain fragments

• your Runestones are limited

• you already own stronger fully developed Siege Generals

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Mu Guiying has aged better than many older Generals.

Her base skill already gives:

• Siege Attack +45%

• Siege Defense +20%

• Siege HP +20%

but modern systems push her much higher.

With Ascension and Specialties developed, she can reach:

• Siege Attack +180%

• Siege Defense +80%

• Siege HP +55%

before Covenant effects.

Her Covenant then adds:

• more Siege Attack

• more Siege Defense

• more Siege HP

• March Size

• strong in-rally buffs

That means she remains a legitimate Siege General rather than simply a historical collection piece.

Her biggest drawback is accessibility.

TEBA Verdict

Mu Guiying is a strong Siege PvP General with excellent secondary Siege Defense value.

Her base Special Skill provides:

• Siege Machine Attack +45%

• Siege Machine Defense +20%

• Siege Machine HP +20%

Her Ascension then adds:

• Siege Attack +65%

• significant Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• March Size +8%

• Troop Death into Wounded support

• some Ranged Defense

while her Specialties add:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• major Ranged Attack support

and Defeat the Liao Army adds:

• Ranged Attack +40%

• Siege Attack +40%

Her Covenant with Elektra, Yue Fei and Guan Yu then adds:

• more Siege Attack

• more Siege Defense

• more Siege HP

• March Size

• in-rally Siege buffs

Her biggest strengths are:

• very high Siege Attack

• strong Siege survivability

• excellent rally potential

• useful Covenant

• good defensive flexibility

• meaningful Ranged support

Her biggest weakness is accessibility.

For players who already own Mu Guiying and can develop her Ascension, Specialties and Covenant, she remains a very capable Siege General in 2026.
