Napoleon Prime Evony Guide 2026
Napoleon Prime is a powerful premium Mounted PvP and Monster Hunting General in Evony: The King's Return.
He is best suited to:
• Mounted PvP
• Mounted attacking marches
• Mounted rallies
• Monster Hunting
• Boss Hunting
• Battlefield
• Server War

• strong Ascension
• excellent fourth Specialty
• strong Covenant
• useful General Skin
• Monster Hunting potential
• rally scaling
• standard Mounted Attack Skill Book compatibility
His main limitation is that several of his strongest buffs require:
• a Dragon
• or a Spiritual Beast
when attacking.
Napoleon Prime should primarily be built around:
Mounted Troops.
Is Napoleon Prime Good in Evony?
Yes.
Napoleon Prime remains a very strong Mounted General in 2026.
His Special Skill provides:
• Mounted Troop Attack +50%
when he is leading the army to attack.
If he brings any Dragon or Spiritual Beast to attack, he also gains:
• Mounted Troop Defense +30%
• Mounted Troop HP +30%
His Ascension then adds:
• more Mounted Attack
• large Mounted Defense
• more Mounted HP
• March Size
• Troop Death into Wounded
• secondary Ground support
His Specialties add:
• more Mounted Attack
• more Mounted Defense
• more Mounted HP
• March Speed
• Enemy Ranged Attack reduction
• Enemy Siege Attack reduction
His Covenant then adds:
• Mounted Attack
• March Size
• rally Attack
• rally HP
• Monster Attack
• Mounted Training Speed
• Mounted Training Capacity

Napoleon Prime Best Role
Best Role:
• Mounted PvP
Secondary Role:
• Monster Hunting
Also Excellent For:
• Mounted rallies
• Battlefield
• Server War
• Boss Hunting
• secondary Mounted marches
Avoid Using For:
• Ranged PvP
• Siege PvP
• Ground PvP Main
• Main City Defense
• Subordinate City Mayor
• Duty Officer
Mounted Troops are clearly Napoleon Prime's correct troop type.
Napoleon Prime Special Skill
Napoleon Prime's Special Skill is:
Napoleonic Wars
When Napoleon Prime is leading the army to attack:
• Mounted Troop Attack +50%
When Napoleon Prime brings any Dragon or Spiritual Beast to attack:
• Mounted Troop Defense +30%
• Mounted Troop HP +30%
This is an excellent attacking Mounted skill.
However, the second part is conditional.
To gain his full base combat package:
equip Napoleon Prime with:
• a Dragon
• or a Spiritual Beast
before attacking.
Why Napoleon Prime Needs a Dragon or Spiritual Beast
Napoleon Prime can still gain his:
• Mounted Attack +50%
without a Dragon or Spiritual Beast.
However, without one he loses:
• Mounted Defense +30%
• Mounted HP +30%
He also loses access to his fourth Specialty bonus if its Dragon requirement is not satisfied.
This creates a significant performance difference.
A serious Napoleon Prime build should therefore use:
• a Dragon
• or a Spiritual Beast
whenever possible.
Napoleon Prime Ascension
Ascending Napoleon Prime significantly improves his Mounted PvP performance.
1 Star
• Marching Ground Troop Attack +10%
• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +10%
• Marching Ground Troop Defense +5%
• Marching Mounted Troop Defense +5%
• Marching Ground Troop HP +5%
• Marching Mounted Troop HP +5%
For his Mounted build this gives:
• Mounted Attack +10%
• Mounted Defense +5%
• Mounted HP +5%
2 Stars
• Marching Troop Death into Wounded Rate +10%
This helps reduce permanent troop losses during offensive PvP.
3 Stars
• Marching Ground Troop Attack +15%
• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +15%
• March Size Capacity +8%
This is an excellent Ascension level.
It improves both:
• damage
• troop volume
4 Stars
• Marching Mounted Troop Defense +25%
• Marching Mounted Troop HP +30%
This provides a large survivability increase.
5 Stars
• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +35%
• Marching Mounted Troop Defense +30%
This is an excellent final Ascension level.
Napoleon Prime Ascension Totals
Across all five Ascension stars, Napoleon Prime gains approximately:
Mounted Troops
• Attack +60%
• Defense +60%
• HP +35%
March Size
• +8%
Additional Utility
• Troop Death into Wounded +10%
Ground Troops also receive some secondary:
• Attack
• Defense
• HP
but Mounted remains the clear priority.
Napoleon Prime Specialties
Napoleon Prime has four Specialties.
Mounted Troop Formation
• Mounted Troop Attack +10%
• Mounted Troop Defense +10%
This directly supports his primary troop type.
Strike
• March Speed +10%
• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +20%
This improves both:
• Mounted damage
• movement speed
Mounted Troop Ares
• Mounted Troop Attack +10%
• Mounted Troop HP +10%
• Mounted Troop Defense +10%
This gives a balanced Mounted increase.
Bonaparte Dynasty
When Napoleon Prime brings any Dragon:
• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +40%
• Marching Mounted Troop Defense +30%
• Enemy Ranged Troop Attack -15%
• Enemy Siege Machine Attack -15%
Bonaparte Dynasty is Napoleon Prime's standout Specialty.
It adds a huge amount of:
• Mounted Attack
• Mounted Defense
while also reducing two dangerous enemy troop types.
Napoleon Prime Specialty Totals
With Bonaparte Dynasty active, Napoleon Prime's Specialties provide approximately:
• Mounted Attack +80%
• Mounted Defense +50%
• Mounted HP +10%
• March Speed +10%
and:
• Enemy Ranged Attack -15%
• Enemy Siege Attack -15%
This is a very strong Specialty package.
How Much Mounted Attack Can Napoleon Prime Add?
Napoleon Prime gains Mounted Attack from:
• Napoleonic Wars: +50%
• 1-Star Ascension: +10%
• 3-Star Ascension: +15%
• 5-Star Ascension: +35%
• Mounted Troop Formation: +10%
• Strike: +20%
• Mounted Troop Ares: +10%
• Bonaparte Dynasty: +40%
That gives approximately:
190% Mounted Troop Attack
from his own fully developed attacking kit.
This assumes the Dragon requirement for Bonaparte Dynasty is satisfied.
This is before:
• Covenant
• General Skin
• Skill Books
• equipment
• refines
• Dragon attributes
• Spiritual Beast attributes
• account-wide buffs
How Much Mounted Defense Can Napoleon Prime Add?
Napoleon Prime gains Mounted Defense from:
• Napoleonic Wars with Dragon or Spiritual Beast: +30%
• 1-Star Ascension: +5%
• 4-Star Ascension: +25%
• 5-Star Ascension: +30%
• Mounted Troop Formation: +10%
• Mounted Troop Ares: +10%
• Bonaparte Dynasty: +30%
That gives approximately:
140% Mounted Troop Defense
from his own fully developed attacking kit.
This assumes all Dragon or Spiritual Beast conditions are active.
How Much Mounted HP Can Napoleon Prime Add?
Napoleon Prime gains Mounted HP from:
• Napoleonic Wars with Dragon or Spiritual Beast: +30%
• 1-Star Ascension: +5%
• 4-Star Ascension: +30%
• Mounted Troop Ares: +10%
That gives approximately:
75% Mounted Troop HP
from his own fully developed attacking kit.
How Much Native March Size Does Napoleon Prime Get?
Napoleon Prime gains:
• March Size +8%
from 3-Star Ascension.
His Covenant can later add another:
• March Size +5%
With Covenant unlocked, his native personal March Size becomes:
13%
With a Lv4 March Size Skill Book adding:
• March Size +12%
his personal contribution can reach:
25% March Size
before other account systems.
Napoleon Prime Full Mounted Package Before Covenant
With the Dragon or Spiritual Beast conditions satisfied, a fully developed Napoleon Prime can provide approximately:
• Mounted Attack +190%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +8%
• March Speed +10%
• Troop Death into Wounded +10%
• Enemy Ranged Attack -15%
• Enemy Siege Attack -15%
before:
• Covenant
• Skin
• Skill Books
• equipment
• account-wide buffs
This remains an excellent Mounted attacking package.
Napoleon Prime Without a Dragon or Spiritual Beast
Napoleon Prime loses significant power without the correct companion.
Without the Special Skill's Dragon or Spiritual Beast condition:
he loses:
• Mounted Defense +30%
• Mounted HP +30%
If Bonaparte Dynasty's Dragon condition is also inactive, he loses another:
• Mounted Attack +40%
• Mounted Defense +30%
• Enemy Ranged Attack -15%
• Enemy Siege Attack -15%
This makes proper companion assignment extremely important.
Do not evaluate Napoleon Prime using his maximum totals if you are not actually satisfying those conditions.
Napoleon Prime Covenant
Napoleon Prime can establish a Covenant with:
• Napoleon
• Soult
• Andre Massena
His Covenant adds:
• Monster Attack
• March Size
• rally Mounted HP
• Mounted Training Speed
• Mounted Training Capacity
• attacking Mounted Attack
• rally Mounted Attack
Some Covenant effects apply specifically to Napoleon Prime.
Others are unconditional account-wide effects.
Napoleon Prime Covenant War
War provides Napoleon Prime with:
• Mounted Troop Attack Against Monsters +12%
This improves his Monster Hunting performance.
Napoleon Prime Covenant Cooperation
Cooperation provides Napoleon Prime with:
• March Size Capacity +5%
This increases troop volume for both:
• PvP
• Monster Hunting
Napoleon Prime Covenant Peace
Peace provides Napoleon Prime with:
• In-Rally Mounted Troop HP +8%
This improves his Mounted survivability during relevant rally conditions.
Napoleon Prime Covenant Faith
Faith provides unconditional account-wide:
• Mounted Troop Training Speed +10%
• Mounted Troop Training Capacity +15%
These are account development bonuses.
They should not be included in Napoleon Prime's personal combat totals.
Napoleon Prime Covenant Honor
Honor provides Napoleon Prime with:
• Attacking Mounted Troop Attack +8%
• Attacking Ground Troop Attack +8%
For his primary build, the key effect is:
• Mounted Attack +8%
Napoleon Prime Covenant Civilization
Civilization provides Napoleon Prime with:
• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +12%
• In-Rally Mounted Troop Attack +15%
This is one of his strongest Covenant stages.
Napoleon Prime Mounted Attack With Covenant
Napoleon Prime's own fully developed package provides approximately:
• Mounted Attack +190%
Honor adds:
• Attacking Mounted Attack +8%
Civilization adds:
• Marching Mounted Attack +12%
That brings his normal personal attacking Mounted contribution to approximately:
210%
before Skill Books and Skin.
During relevant rallies, Civilization adds another:
• Mounted Attack +15%
This can raise his personal rally Mounted Attack contribution to approximately:
225%
before Skill Books and Skin.
Napoleon Prime Mounted Defense With Covenant
Napoleon Prime's own fully developed Mounted Defense is approximately:
• +140%
His documented Covenant does not add another normal personal Mounted Defense percentage.
This remains approximately:
• Mounted Defense +140%
before Skill Books.
Napoleon Prime Mounted HP With Covenant
Napoleon Prime's own developed Mounted HP is approximately:
• +75%
Peace can add:
• In-Rally Mounted HP +8%
during relevant rally combat.
This raises his rally Mounted HP contribution to approximately:
• +83%
before Skill Books.
Napoleon Prime March Size With Covenant
Napoleon Prime gains:
• March Size +8%
from Ascension.
Cooperation adds:
• March Size +5%
That gives:
13% native personal March Size
with Covenant.
With a Lv4 March Size Skill Book:
• March Size +12%
his personal contribution becomes:
25% March Size
before other account-wide systems.
Napoleon Prime Full Regular Package With Covenant
With the main normal personal Covenant effects unlocked, Napoleon Prime can provide approximately:
• Mounted Attack +210%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +13%
before:
• General Skin
• Skill Books
• equipment
• refines
• Dragon attributes
• account-wide buffs
During relevant rallies:
• Mounted Attack can rise to approximately +225%
• Mounted HP can rise to approximately +83%
before Skin and Skill Books.
Napoleon Prime Emperor Skin
Napoleon Prime has a General Skin called:
Emperor
The Emperor Skin provides:
• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +10%
• Enemy Ground Troop HP -20%
This is a very useful Mounted PvP Skin.
Mounted Troops naturally counter Ground Troops.
Reducing:
• Enemy Ground HP -20%
reinforces that role.
Napoleon Prime Mounted Attack With Skin
Napoleon Prime's regular Covenant package provides approximately:
• Mounted Attack +210%
The Emperor Skin adds:
• Marching Mounted Attack +10%
That raises his regular relevant Mounted Attack contribution to approximately:
220%
before Skill Books.
During relevant rallies, his Covenant can add another:
• Mounted Attack +15%
which can bring him to approximately:
235% Mounted Attack
before Skill Books.
Napoleon Prime Full Package With Skin
With:
• full Ascension
• full Specialties
• regular Covenant effects
• Emperor Skin
• Dragon or Spiritual Beast conditions satisfied
Napoleon Prime can provide approximately:
• Mounted Attack +220%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +13%
before Skill Books.
During relevant rallies:
• Mounted Attack can reach approximately +235%
• Mounted HP can reach approximately +83%
before Skill Books.
The Skin also provides:
• Enemy Ground HP -20%
Best Skill Books for Napoleon Prime PvP
Napoleon Prime can use the standard Mounted Troop Attack Skill Book.
A strong Mounted PvP setup is:
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Speed
• Lv4 March Size
This provides:
• more Mounted damage
• faster Mounted engagement
• greater troop volume
Alternative Napoleon Prime PvP Skill Books
If additional survivability is preferred, consider:
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack
• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP
• Lv4 March Size
or:
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Defense
• Lv4 March Size
The best choice depends on:
• equipment
• refines
• Assistant General
• account buffs
• opponent
Important Assistant Skill Book Warning
Napoleon Prime himself can use:
• Mounted Troop Attack Skill Book
However, some Assistant Generals may conflict with that Skill Book.
Examples of Mounted Generals that can create Mounted Attack Skill Book compatibility issues include some Generals such as:
• Andre Massena
• Martinus
• Laudon
• Prince Eugene
Always test the complete Main and Assistant setup in-game.
A Skill Book that works on Napoleon Prime by himself may become inactive because of the Assistant General's fixed skill.
Best Monster Hunting Skill Books for Napoleon Prime
For maximum Monster damage:
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack
• Lv4 March Size
This maximizes:
• Mounted Attack
• Monster-specific Attack
• troop volume
For extra loot instead of maximum damage, consider:
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster
• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack
• Lv4 Luck
This sacrifices some March Size for:
• higher Double Item Drop chance
Napoleon Prime for Mounted PvP
Mounted PvP is Napoleon Prime's strongest overall role.
His fully developed own-kit package provides approximately:
• Mounted Attack +190%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +8%
before Covenant.
With normal Covenant effects:
• Mounted Attack +210%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +13%
With Emperor Skin:
• Mounted Attack +220%
before Skill Books.
During relevant rallies:
• Mounted Attack can reach approximately +235%
• Mounted HP can reach approximately +83%
before Skill Books.
This remains a powerful Mounted PvP package.
Napoleon Prime for Mounted Rallies
Napoleon Prime remains particularly useful in Mounted rallies.
His Covenant adds:
• In-Rally Mounted Attack +15%
• In-Rally Mounted HP +8%
on top of his normal Mounted buffs.
This gives him meaningful rally scaling.
Napoleon Prime for Monster Hunting
Napoleon Prime is also an excellent Monster Hunting General.
Mounted Troops are the standard troop type for most Monster Hunting.
Napoleon Prime provides:
• very high Mounted Attack
• excellent March Size
• strong Mounted Defense
• useful Mounted HP
His Covenant War effect also adds:
• Mounted Attack Against Monsters +12%
He can therefore deal very high first-round Monster damage.
Napoleon Prime Monster Hunting Strength
Monster Hunting rewards raw damage heavily.
The ideal outcome is:
defeat the Monster in one combat round.
Napoleon Prime can achieve excellent Monster damage through:
• high Mounted Attack
• March Size
• Mounted Attack Against Monster
• Dragon or Spiritual Beast
• equipment refines
• Skill Books
This makes him valuable against:
• Boss Monsters
• Event Bosses
• high-level regular Monsters
Napoleon Prime Monster Hunting Weakness
Napoleon Prime's main Monster weakness is that he lacks built-in utility such as:
• Double Item Drop
• Stamina reduction
Baibars-style loot specialists can provide more reward efficiency.
Nathanael Greene can provide Stamina savings.
Napoleon Prime's strength is:
• killing power
rather than:
• loot utility
Napoleon Prime vs Dedicated Monster Generals
Napoleon Prime can outperform many old Monster Generals in raw combat damage.
However, dedicated Monster specialists may offer:
• more Attack Against Monsters
• lower Monster Attack
• lower Monster Defense
• Double Item Drop
• Stamina reduction
Choose according to whether your priority is:
• killing bigger Monsters
• reducing wounded
• farming more drops
• reducing Stamina cost
Napoleon Prime for Main City Defense
Napoleon Prime should not normally be used as Main City Defense General.
His base Attack buff requires him to be:
• leading the army to attack
His Dragon or Spiritual Beast defensive buffs also specify:
• to attack
and several later buffs are:
• marching
• attacking
Using Napoleon Prime on the Wall wastes a large part of his package.
Use a dedicated Wall General instead.
Napoleon Prime Ground Troop Support
Napoleon Prime provides some Ground support through Ascension and Covenant.
Ground can receive:
• Attack from 1-Star Ascension
• Attack from 3-Star Ascension
• small Defense and HP support
• Attacking Ground Attack from Honor
However, this is not enough to make Napoleon Prime a Ground General.
Mounted remains his correct troop type.
Napoleon Prime Assistant Compatibility
Napoleon Prime can pair with many Mounted Generals.
Current TEBA pairing directions include:
• Artemis
• Hestia
• Haakon Haraldsson
Other compatible Mounted Generals can also work.
However, compatibility is not universal.
Always verify:
• both fixed Special Skills
• Skill Books
• Dragon requirements
before committing expensive resources.
Napoleon Prime and Andre Massena
Napoleon Prime and Andre Massena have historically been a popular Mounted pairing.
Together they can provide:
• high Mounted Attack
• strong Defense
• useful HP
• significant March Size
However, Andre Massena's fixed skill can interfere with the normal Mounted Attack Skill Book in some pairings.
Always verify the complete pairing and Skill Book setup in-game.
Napoleon Prime and Artemis
TEBA's current Mounted General data lists:
• Artemis
as one of Napoleon Prime's modern pairing directions.
Artemis can provide powerful modern Mounted support.
The final Main/Assistant decision should depend on:
• Ascension
• Specialties
• Covenant
• available Dragons
• Skill Book compatibility
• current investment
Napoleon Prime and Haakon Haraldsson
Haakon Haraldsson can also pair with Napoleon Prime.
This combination can provide strong:
• Mounted Attack
• Mounted Defense
and can be useful where extra Mounted survivability is desired.
Napoleon Prime Equipment and Refines
For Mounted PvP, percentage refines should generally focus on:
Weapon
• Mounted Troop Attack %
Ring
• Mounted Troop Attack %
Armor
• Mounted Troop Defense %
Boots
• Mounted Troop Defense %
Helmet
• Mounted Troop HP %
Leg Armor
• Mounted Troop HP %
This gives Napoleon Prime a balanced Mounted build.
Napoleon Prime and Mounted HP
Napoleon Prime has a much healthier HP package than Andre Massena.
His own fully developed kit provides approximately:
• Mounted HP +75%
before Covenant rally effects and Skill Books.
This gives him a more balanced:
• Attack
• Defense
• HP
profile than several older Mounted Generals.
Napoleon Prime vs Andre Massena
Napoleon Prime and Andre Massena are both strong older premium Mounted Generals.
Andre Massena has:
• excellent Attack
• exceptional Defense
• excellent native March Size
• relatively weak HP
Napoleon Prime has:
• higher overall Attack ceiling
• excellent Defense
• significantly better HP
• strong Monster utility
• Dragon/Spiritual Beast requirements
Napoleon Prime is generally the more complete Mounted combat package.
Andre Massena can still be valuable as:
• Main General
• Assistant
• second Mounted march
depending on development.
Napoleon Prime vs Older Mounted Generals
Napoleon Prime is substantially stronger than many traditional Mounted Generals.
His advantages include:
• enormous Mounted Attack
• strong Defense
• useful HP
• March Size
• Ascension
• Covenant
• General Skin
• Monster utility
This explains why he remained popular for so long.
Napoleon Prime vs Modern Mounted Generals
Napoleon Prime is no longer the absolute 2026 Mounted ceiling.
Newer premium Generals can offer:
• higher total buffs
• more HP
• larger March Size
• stronger Covenants
• larger Skin bonuses
• ownership effects
• newer combat mechanics
By 2026, Generals such as Tishtrya and other newer Mounted specialists can exceed him in particular areas.
That does not make Napoleon Prime obsolete.
A fully Ascended, fully Specialized, Covenanted and skinned Napoleon Prime remains extremely strong.
Is Napoleon Prime Still Relevant in 2026?
Yes.
Napoleon Prime remains a serious Mounted General.
His own fully developed attacking package provides approximately:
• Mounted Attack +190%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +8%
before Covenant and Skin.
With regular Covenant effects:
• Mounted Attack +210%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +13%
With Emperor Skin:
• Mounted Attack +220%
During relevant rallies:
• Mounted Attack can reach approximately +235%
• Mounted HP can reach approximately +83%
before Skill Books.
Those are still excellent numbers.
His modern weakness is not poor performance.
It is:
• power creep at the absolute premium ceiling
• expensive development
• fragment availability
• Dragon or Spiritual Beast dependency
Is Napoleon Prime F2P Friendly?
No.
Napoleon Prime was introduced as a premium collaboration General.
His original acquisition included:
• final tier of the Seventh Anniversary Package
• Historic General Summoning
He has subsequently appeared in rotating premium Historic General recruitment systems.
He is not a normal Tavern General.
Some General databases display:
• 60,000,000 Gold
as his nominal General value.
Do not treat this as proof of Tavern availability.
How to Obtain Napoleon Prime
Napoleon Prime originally debuted during:
• Evony's Seventh Anniversary
• Napoleon Collaboration
His original acquisition routes included:
• final tier of the Seventh Anniversary Package
• Historic General Summoning
He has subsequently appeared in:
• rotating Historic General recruitment pools
• premium General tokens
• special General events
• premium packages
Availability changes over time.
Always check the live recruitment pool before spending specifically for him.
Napoleon Prime Fragment Availability
Fragments are extremely important.
His full Ascension adds approximately:
• Mounted Attack +60%
• Mounted Defense +60%
• Mounted HP +35%
• March Size +8%
• Troop Death into Wounded +10%
This represents a very large part of his total strength.
Obtaining one copy is therefore not enough to reach his headline performance.
Before committing heavily to Napoleon Prime, consider whether you can realistically obtain enough fragments for:
• 3-Star
• 4-Star
• 5-Star Ascension
Is Napoleon Prime Worth Ascending?
Yes, if he remains part of your permanent Mounted lineup.
His Ascension adds approximately:
• Mounted Attack +60%
• Mounted Defense +60%
• Mounted HP +35%
• March Size +8%
• Troop Death into Wounded +10%
The 5-Star level alone adds:
• Mounted Attack +35%
• Mounted Defense +30%
This is a major upgrade.
However, full Ascension is expensive.
Do not spend large amounts of Blood of Ares if you already plan to replace him with a newer General.
Is Napoleon Prime Worth Specialties?
Yes, if he remains an active Mounted General.
His Specialties can add approximately:
• Mounted Attack +80%
• Mounted Defense +50%
• Mounted HP +10%
• March Speed +10%
Bonaparte Dynasty alone adds:
• Mounted Attack +40%
• Mounted Defense +30%
• Enemy Ranged Attack -15%
• Enemy Siege Attack -15%
when its Dragon condition is active.
This is an excellent fourth Specialty.
Is Napoleon Prime's Covenant Worth Developing?
Yes.
His Covenant adds:
• Monster Attack
• March Size
• rally Mounted HP
• attacking Mounted Attack
• marching Mounted Attack
• rally Mounted Attack
and account-wide:
• Mounted Training Speed
• Mounted Training Capacity
The required Covenant Generals are:
• Napoleon
• Soult
• Andre Massena
For a permanent Napoleon Prime build, Covenant development is worthwhile.
Is Napoleon Prime's Skin Worth Getting?
Yes, if Napoleon Prime remains one of your main Mounted Generals and the acquisition cost is reasonable.
Emperor provides:
• Marching Mounted Attack +10%
• Enemy Ground HP -20%
Both effects directly support his main Mounted PvP role.
Is Napoleon Prime Worth Investing In?
Napoleon Prime is worth investing in if:
• you already own him
• he is already heavily developed
• Mounted PvP is important to your account
• you also want strong Monster Hunting
• you can obtain duplicate fragments
• you can develop his Covenant
• you have a suitable Dragon or Spiritual Beast
• you own or can obtain his Skin
• you need another strong Mounted march
• you are starting a premium Mounted build completely from zero
• you already own a newer top-end Mounted General
• duplicate fragments are unavailable
• you cannot spare a Dragon or Spiritual Beast
• Blood of Ares is limited
• Runestones are limited
Should You Replace a Developed Napoleon Prime?
Not automatically.
This is extremely important.
A newer Mounted General may have stronger maximum numbers.
However, replacing a fully developed Napoleon Prime may require:
• obtaining the new General
• obtaining duplicate fragments
• spending Blood of Ares
• developing Specialties
• building another Covenant
• changing Assistant pairings
• changing Dragon allocation
A fully Ascended, fully Specialized, Covenanted and skinned Napoleon Prime can remain considerably stronger in practice than an undeveloped newer premium General.
Upgrade when the actual account-level improvement justifies the cost.
TEBA 2026 Reality Check
Napoleon Prime is no longer the newest Mounted PvP benchmark.
However, he remains a serious high-end Mounted General.
With all relevant Dragon or Spiritual Beast conditions active, his own fully developed package provides approximately:
• Mounted Attack +190%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +8%
• Troop Death into Wounded +10%
• Enemy Ranged Attack -15%
• Enemy Siege Attack -15%
before:
• Covenant
• Skin
• Skill Books
• equipment
• refines
• Dragon attributes
• account-wide buffs
His regular personal Covenant effects can raise this to approximately:
• Mounted Attack +210%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +13%
The Emperor Skin can then raise Mounted Attack to approximately:
• +220%
During relevant rallies:
• Mounted Attack can reach approximately +235%
• Mounted HP can reach approximately +83%
before Skill Books.
Napoleon Prime also remains excellent for Monster Hunting because he combines:
• very high Mounted Attack
• March Size
• Mounted Attack Against Monsters
• strong survivability
His main 2026 weaknesses are:
• newer premium Mounted power creep
• premium fragment availability
• expensive Ascension
• expensive Specialties
• reliance on a Dragon or Spiritual Beast for maximum performance
TEBA Verdict
Napoleon Prime is a powerful premium Mounted PvP and Monster Hunting General who remains highly relevant in 2026 despite newer Generals raising the absolute endgame ceiling.
His base Special Skill provides:
• Mounted Attack +50%
when attacking.
With a Dragon or Spiritual Beast he also gains:
• Mounted Defense +30%
• Mounted HP +30%
His Ascension adds approximately:
• Mounted Attack +60%
• Mounted Defense +60%
• Mounted HP +35%
• March Size +8%
• Troop Death into Wounded +10%
while his Specialties add approximately:
• Mounted Attack +80%
• Mounted Defense +50%
• Mounted HP +10%
• March Speed +10%
His fully developed own-kit Mounted package therefore reaches approximately:
• Mounted Attack +190%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +8%
before Covenant and Skin.
His Covenant with:
• Napoleon
• Soult
• Andre Massena
can increase his regular personal package to approximately:
• Mounted Attack +210%
• Mounted Defense +140%
• Mounted HP +75%
• March Size +13%
before Skill Books.
His Emperor Skin then adds:
• Mounted Attack +10%
• Enemy Ground HP -20%
bringing normal Mounted Attack to approximately:
• +220%
During relevant rallies, his Mounted Attack can rise to approximately:
• +235%
before Skill Books.
His biggest strengths are:
• extremely high Mounted Attack
• excellent Mounted Defense
• useful Mounted HP
• strong March Size
• excellent Ascension
• powerful fourth Specialty
• strong Covenant
• useful Emperor Skin
• excellent Monster Hunting damage
• Mounted Attack Skill Book compatibility
• strong rally scaling
• long-term second-march value
His biggest weaknesses are:
• Dragon or Spiritual Beast dependency
• premium/event acquisition
• difficult duplicate fragments
• expensive Ascension
• expensive Specialties
• newer premium Mounted Generals now offer higher ceilings
For players who already own and have heavily developed Napoleon Prime, he remains a very strong Mounted General in 2026.
His clean modern identity is:
a premium Mounted attacker and Monster Hunter with roughly 190/140/75 Attack/Defense/HP before Covenant, around 210/140/75 with regular Covenant buffs, around 220% Attack with his Skin, and approximately 235% Mounted Attack in the relevant rally setup.
He has been power-crept at the very top.
He has not become obsolete.
