Nathanael Greene Evony Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Nathanael Greene Evony Guide 2026

Nathanael Greene is a specialist Monster Hunting and Monster Rally General in Evony: The King's Return.

His greatest strength is not raw combat power.

It is:

• Stamina efficiency

His Special Skill reduces:

• Stamina Cost by 25%

when he leads an army to attack Monsters.

This makes Nathanael Greene especially useful for:

• joining Monster rallies

• joining Boss rallies

• daily Monster farming

• F2P accounts with limited Stamina

• low-spend accounts

• high-volume Alliance rally participation

• farming Monster rewards efficiently

He can also be developed into a basic Mounted Monster Hunter, but his primary value is saving Stamina.

Is Nathanael Greene Good in Evony?

Yes.

But not because he is one of the strongest Monster Generals.

Nathanael Greene is useful because he reduces the cost of every Monster attack he leads.

His Special Skill provides:

• Stamina Cost -25%

against Monsters.

This means that over hundreds or thousands of Monster rallies, he can save a very large amount of Stamina.

That makes him particularly valuable for:

• active Alliance members

• F2P players

• players who join many rallies every day

• players trying to conserve Stamina items

Nathanael Greene Best Role

Best Role: Monster Rally Joiner

Secondary Role: Budget Monster Hunter

Also Good For:

• Stamina-efficient Boss farming

• secondary Monster marches

• low-cost rally participation

• F2P farming accounts

Avoid Using For:

• Mounted PvP Main

• Ground PvP

• Ranged PvP

• Siege PvP

• Main City Defense

• Subordinate City Mayor

• Duty Officer

Nathanael Greene should primarily be thought of as:

a stamina-saving utility General.

Nathanael Greene Special Skill

Nathanael Greene's Special Skill is:

Strategy Expert

When Nathanael Greene leads an army to attack Monsters:

• Stamina Cost -25%

This is the defining reason to use him.

The effect does not require:

• Ascension

• Specialties

• equipment

• cultivation

• a Dragon

That makes Nathanael Greene useful immediately after obtaining him.

Why Stamina Reduction Matters

Monster Hunting consumes Stamina.

Active players can burn through huge quantities of:

• Stamina

• Stamina recovery items

• Gems used indirectly to support farming

during events and heavy rally sessions.

Reducing each Monster attack by 25% can add up dramatically over time.

This is especially useful during:

• Viking Challenge

• Boss Monster farming

• event Monster farming

• Alliance rally sessions

• resource farming

• Speedup farming

• material farming

Nathanael Greene for Rally Joining

This is arguably Nathanael Greene's best use.

When joining another player's Monster rally, you often only need to send:

• one troop

or a very small march.

The rally leader provides the damage.

Nathanael Greene provides:

• Stamina Cost -25%

This means you can participate in more rallies using the same amount of Stamina.

For active players, this can be much more valuable than using a stronger combat General for every rally join.

Nathanael Greene Ascension

Nathanael Greene can be Ascended.

His Ascension improves his ability to fight Monsters directly.

However, Ascension is not required to gain his most important benefit:

• Stamina Cost -25%

1 Star

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop Attack +5%

• Troop Defense +10%

This applies broadly to the troops in his Monster march.

2 Stars

When attacking Monsters:

• Monster Defense -10%

• Troop HP +15%

This improves both:

• damage

• survivability

Reducing Monster Defense helps your troops deal more effective damage.

3 Stars

When attacking Monsters:

• Monster Attack -10%

• Troop Defense +15%

This helps reduce wounded troops.

4 Stars

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop Attack +5%

• Troop HP +15%

This adds another balanced Monster Hunting increase.

5 Stars

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop Attack +10%

• Troop Defense +10%

The fifth star provides another useful combat increase.

Nathanael Greene Full Ascension Totals

Across all five Ascension levels, Nathanael Greene can gain approximately:

When attacking Monsters:

• Troop Attack +20%

• Troop Defense +35%

• Troop HP +30%

• Monster Defense -10%

• Monster Attack -10%

These bonuses apply in addition to:

• Stamina Cost -25%

from Strategy Expert.

Nathanael Greene Specialties

Nathanael Greene has four Specialties.

Mounted Troop Formation

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

Mounted is the natural combat troop type for Nathanael Greene because Mounted Troops are normally preferred for Boss Monsters.

Sabotage

• Enemy Troop Defense -10%

This provides a broad defensive debuff.

Against Monsters, however, Nathanael Greene's Monster-specific Ascension bonuses are more important.

Unparalleled Leader

When attacking:

• Troop Death into Wounded Rate +10%

This helps reduce permanent losses during offensive combat.

For normal Monster Hunting, this is less important than:

• Attack

• HP

• Defense

• Monster debuffs

Battle of Cowpens

• Mounted Troop Attack +26%

• March Speed +20%

Battle of Cowpens is Nathanael Greene's strongest Specialty for Monster Hunting.

It provides:

• more Mounted damage

• faster travel between Monsters

How Much Mounted Attack Can Nathanael Greene Add?

From his Specialties, Nathanael Greene gains:

• Mounted Attack +10% from Mounted Troop Formation

• Mounted Attack +26% from Battle of Cowpens

That gives:

36% Mounted Troop Attack

from Specialties.

When fully Ascended, he can also gain:

• Troop Attack +20% against Monsters

This means his total effective attacking support against Monsters can become much stronger than the Specialty number alone suggests.

Nathanael Greene Monster Attack Package

When fully Ascended and fully Specialized, Nathanael Greene can provide:

• Mounted Attack +36% from Specialties

• Troop Attack +20% against Monsters from Ascension

• Monster Defense -10%

plus:

• Stamina Cost -25%

This makes him capable of handling Monsters directly.

However, stronger dedicated Monster Generals can still deliver much higher raw damage.

Nathanael Greene Monster Survivability

Full Ascension provides:

• Troop Defense +35%

• Troop HP +30%

• Monster Attack -10%

Mounted Troop Formation also adds:

• Mounted Defense +10%

This helps reduce wounded troops during direct Monster attacks.

Nathanael Greene March Speed

Battle of Cowpens provides:

• March Speed +20%

This is useful when farming Monsters repeatedly.

Faster marches mean:

• quicker travel to Bosses

• faster returns

• faster entry into new rallies

• less downtime between Monster kills

Best Skill Books for Nathanael Greene Rally Joining

For pure rally joining, a practical setup is:

• Lv4 Monster March Speed

• Lv4 Luck

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

Monster March Speed helps:

• reach rallies faster

• return faster

Luck helps:

• improve Double Item Drop Rate

Mounted Attack Against Monster provides:

• extra damage if your troops actually participate meaningfully

For one-troop rally joining, combat damage is usually not important.

Best Skill Books for Nathanael Greene Monster Hunting

If using Nathanael Greene to kill Monsters himself, use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 March Size

This maximises:

• Mounted damage

• Monster-specific damage

• troop volume

Nathanael Greene Loot Build

A useful farming setup is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Luck

• Lv4 Monster March Speed

This build prioritises:

• Stamina efficiency

• item-drop efficiency

• rally speed

rather than maximum raw damage.

Nathanael Greene Big Monster Build

If you want to kill larger Monsters directly:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 March Size

This gives the highest practical damage setup.

However, stronger modern Monster Generals should generally be used for difficult Bosses.

Nathanael Greene and Theodora

Nathanael Greene can work very well alongside Theodora for Monster farming.

Nathanael Greene contributes:

• reduced Stamina Cost

Theodora contributes:

• Double Item Drop Rate

This creates a very efficient Monster farming combination.

The exact Main and Assistant arrangement should always be tested in-game to confirm that both Special Skills remain active.

Why Nathanael Greene Is Excellent for F2P Players

F2P players usually have fewer:

• Stamina items

• Gems

• premium Monster Generals

• premium resource packs

Reducing Monster Stamina usage therefore has real long-term value.

Nathanael Greene allows F2P players to:

• join more rallies

• farm more Bosses

• conserve Stamina

• collect more rewards over time

without requiring major investment.

Does Nathanael Greene Need Ascension?

Not necessarily.

This is extremely important.

The reason most players use Nathanael Greene is:

• Stamina Cost -25%

That effect comes from his base Special Skill.

You receive it immediately.

If you only use him to join Monster rallies:

• Ascension is optional

Blood of Ares should usually be saved for Generals whose Ascension materially affects your main combat performance.

Does Nathanael Greene Need Specialties?

Not for pure rally joining.

His base skill already provides:

• Stamina Cost -25%

Developing Specialties costs:

• Runestones

• Gems

• time

Battle of Cowpens can add:

• Mounted Attack +26%

• March Speed +20%

but these are unnecessary if he only joins rallies with one troop.

For most accounts:

do not heavily invest in his Specialties simply to save Stamina.

Does Nathanael Greene Need Equipment?

Not for simple rally joining.

If you use him only to join rallies:

• expensive equipment is unnecessary

You can use equipment focused on:

• Monster March Speed

if desired.

If Nathanael Greene is being used to kill Monsters directly, then proper Mounted combat equipment becomes more useful.

Does Nathanael Greene Need Cultivation?

Very little cultivation is needed for rally joining.

His Stamina reduction does not scale with:

• Attack

• Defense

• Leadership

• Politics

If using him as a serious Monster Hunter, cultivation becomes more relevant.

But for his best utility role:

• keep investment minimal

Nathanael Greene for Boss Monsters

Nathanael Greene can defeat Boss Monsters when properly developed.

Full Ascension provides:

• Troop Attack

• Troop Defense

• Troop HP

• Monster Defense reduction

• Monster Attack reduction

His Mounted Specialties also provide:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Defense

However, dedicated modern Monster Generals can achieve far more damage.

Use Greene primarily when:

• stamina efficiency matters

• stronger Monster Generals are unavailable

• he is leading a secondary Monster march

Nathanael Greene for Monster Rallies

This is where he shines.

If another player is leading the rally:

• raw damage is not your concern

Your goals become:

• joining as many rallies as possible

• spending less Stamina

• improving loot efficiency

• returning quickly for the next rally

Nathanael Greene is excellent for exactly this purpose.

Nathanael Greene for Mounted PvP

Do not invest heavily in Nathanael Greene for serious Mounted PvP.

His Specialties provide:

• Mounted Attack +36%

• Mounted Defense +10%

but he lacks the huge modern Mounted packages offered by dedicated PvP Generals.

He also lacks:

• large Mounted HP

• major March Size

• PvP debuffs

• Covenants

• Skins

• strong modern scaling

Use a dedicated Mounted PvP General instead.

Nathanael Greene for Main City Defense

No.

Nathanael Greene has no meaningful Wall-specific package.

His Special Skill only affects:

• Stamina Cost against Monsters

He should not be used as a Main City Defense General.

Nathanael Greene as a Subordinate City General

Sabotage provides:

• Enemy Troop Defense -10%

However, this is not enough to justify using him as a permanent Sub City Mayor.

There are many much stronger dedicated Sub City debuff Generals.

His stamina-saving Monster role is far more valuable.

Nathanael Greene and Multiple Copies

Multiple copies of Nathanael Greene can be useful.

If you regularly run several Monster rally marches, each copy can potentially be assigned to a different march.

This allows several marches to benefit from:

• reduced Stamina consumption

Depending on how heavily you farm Monsters, multiple lightly developed copies may provide more practical value than one heavily developed copy.

Nathanael Greene vs Strong Monster Generals

Modern Monster Generals can offer:

• much higher Mounted Attack

• more March Size

• stronger Monster-specific Attack

• Monster Defense reduction

• Monster HP reduction

• stronger survivability

• Double Item Drop

• Covenant bonuses

Nathanael Greene does not compete with them on raw power.

His advantage is:

• Stamina efficiency

That makes him a utility specialist rather than an endgame damage specialist.

Is Nathanael Greene Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes.

In fact, his core utility has aged extremely well.

New Monster Generals can power-creep:

• Attack

• Defense

• HP

• March Size

But they do not automatically make:

• Stamina Cost -25%

less useful.

As long as Monster farming costs Stamina, Nathanael Greene retains a practical niche.

Is Nathanael Greene F2P Friendly?

Yes.

Nathanael Greene is available from the Tavern.

Current specialist sources list his cost at:

• 32,000,000 Gold

That makes him realistically obtainable by:

• F2P players

• low-spend players

His greatest benefit also requires no Ascension or Specialties.

That makes him one of the cheapest utility Generals to make useful.

How to Obtain Nathanael Greene

Nathanael Greene can be obtained from:

• Tavern

Current specialist sources list his Tavern cost at:

• 32,000,000 Gold

Because he is Tavern-accessible, players can also obtain additional copies over time.

Nathanael Greene and the Art Hall

Nathanael Greene is required for:

• Strategy Master

in General Hall I.

This gives him additional collection value beyond Monster Hunting.

Is Nathanael Greene Worth Ascending?

Usually not as a priority.

Full Ascension does provide useful Monster bonuses:

• Troop Attack +20%

• Troop Defense +35%

• Troop HP +30%

• Monster Defense -10%

• Monster Attack -10%

However, the biggest reason to own him:

• Stamina Cost -25%

requires no Ascension.

For most players, Blood of Ares should go first to:

• primary PvP Generals

• Main City Defense Generals

• important Duty Officers

• stronger long-term Monster Generals

Ascend Nathanael Greene only if you actively use him as a direct Monster killer and have spare resources.

Is Nathanael Greene Worth Specialties?

Usually not for pure rally joining.

His Specialties provide:

• Mounted Attack +36%

• Mounted Defense +10%

• Enemy Defense -10%

• Troop Death into Wounded +10%

• March Speed +20%

These are useful.

But the Runestone cost is difficult to justify if he only joins rallies.

For most players:

base skill first,

minimal investment second.

[Is Nathanael Greene Worth Investing In?

Nathanael Greene is worth obtaining if:

• you join lots of Monster rallies

• you regularly run short of Stamina

• you are F2P

• you are low-spend

• your Alliance runs large numbers of Boss rallies

• you want several stamina-efficient Monster marches

He is worth heavier investment only if:

• you also use him to kill Monsters directly

• stronger Monster Generals are unavailable

• you have spare Blood of Ares and Runestones

He is not a good heavy investment if:

• you already own strong modern Monster Generals

• you only use him for one-troop rally joining

• Blood of Ares is limited

• Runestones are limited

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Nathanael Greene should not be judged by conventional General rankings.

His personal Mounted combat package is modest.

His Specialties provide:

• Mounted Attack +36%

• Mounted Defense +10%

Full Ascension against Monsters provides:

• Troop Attack +20%

• Troop Defense +35%

• Troop HP +30%

• Monster Defense -10%

• Monster Attack -10%

But his most important stat remains:

• Stamina Cost -25%

That one effect can save enormous amounts of Stamina over months of active Monster farming.

For rally joining, Nathanael Greene can often provide full practical value with:

• no Ascension

• no Specialties

• minimal equipment

• minimal cultivation

That makes him unusually efficient.

TEBA Verdict

Nathanael Greene is a specialist Monster rally utility General built around Stamina efficiency.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Stamina Cost -25%

when attacking Monsters.

His Ascension can then add:

• Troop Attack +20%

• Troop Defense +35%

• Troop HP +30%

• Monster Defense -10%

• Monster Attack -10%

when fully developed against Monsters.

His Specialties add:

• Mounted Attack +36%

• Mounted Defense +10%

• Enemy Defense -10%

• Troop Death into Wounded +10%

• March Speed +20%

His biggest strengths are:

• excellent Stamina efficiency

• extremely cheap practical build

• ideal for rally joining

• Tavern accessibility

• strong F2P value

• useful Monster survivability after Ascension

• Art Hall value

• ability to use multiple copies across Monster marches

His biggest weaknesses are:

• low raw Monster damage compared with modern specialists

• weak Mounted PvP value

• little reason to spend premium development resources on him

• no major March Size bonus

• no modern Covenant or Skin scaling

For F2P and low-spend players, Nathanael Greene remains one of the most useful Monster utility Generals in Evony in 2026.

His best use is simple:

use him to join large numbers of Monster rallies, save 25% Stamina every time, and avoid over-investing resources that are better spent elsewhere.
