Prince Rhaegar Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Prince Rhaegar Evony Guide 2026

Prince Rhaegar is an attacking General in Evony: The King's Return whose Specialties lean primarily toward Mounted Troops.

He is best suited to:

• Monster Hunting

• early and mid-game Mounted PvP

• secondary Monster marches

• secondary Mounted marches

• F2P and low-spend accounts needing an accessible attacking General

His biggest strengths are:

• simple attacking Troop Attack bonus

• useful March Size

• Mounted-focused Specialties

• broad Attack buffs that work with any attacking troop type

• Tavern accessibility

• Great General Chest availability

• easy early-game development

Prince Rhaegar is most useful as an accessible Monster Hunting or backup Mounted General.

Is Prince Rhaegar Good in Evony?

Prince Rhaegar is usable, but he is no longer a high-end combat General.

His Special Skill provides:

• Troop Attack +15%

when he is leading the army to attack.

This affects all troop types.

That makes Prince Rhaegar flexible, but the size of the buff is modest by modern Evony standards.

His Specialties push him more heavily toward Mounted Troops, which is why Monster Hunting and Mounted PvP are his most sensible roles.

Prince Rhaegar Best Role

Best Role: Monster Hunting

Also Good For: Backup Mounted PvP

Avoid Using For: Main City Defense or long-term endgame PvP investment

Mounted Troops are normally the best troop type for Monster Hunting.

Prince Rhaegar's Mounted-focused Specialties therefore fit naturally with a Monster Hunting build.

However, he does not provide:

• Double Item Drop Rate

• Monster-specific stamina reduction

• large Monster-only Attack bonuses

so dedicated Monster Generals eventually outperform him.

Prince Rhaegar Special Skill

Prince Rhaegar's Special Skill is:

Dragon's Inspiring

When Prince Rhaegar is leading the army to attack:

• Troop Attack +15%

The buff applies to:

• Ground Troops

• Mounted Troops

• Ranged Troops

• Siege Machines

However, because his Specialties primarily support Mounted Troops, Mounted is the most logical troop type to build around.

Prince Rhaegar Ascension

Ascending Prince Rhaegar adds more general-purpose attacking power and March Size.

1 Star

• Marching Troop Attack +5%

This increases the damage of every troop type in his march.

2 Stars

• Enemy In-City Troop Wounded into Death Rate +8%

This is primarily a PvP benefit when attacking enemy cities.

It provides no meaningful benefit when fighting ordinary monsters.

3 Stars

• March Size Capacity +10%

This is one of Prince Rhaegar's most useful Ascension upgrades.

More troops means more total damage in both Monster Hunting and PvP.

4 Stars

• Marching Troop Defense +15%

This provides a broad survivability increase to every troop type in his march.

5 Stars

• Marching Troop Attack +10%

The fifth star gives another general-purpose offensive increase.

Prince Rhaegar Specialties

Prince Rhaegar has four Specialties.

Mounted Troop Formation

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop Defense +10%

This is the first clear indication that Mounted Troops should be his primary troop type.

Annihilation

• March Size Capacity +6%

• Attacking Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Attacking Ground Troop Attack +10%

The March Size bonus is useful for both Monster Hunting and PvP.

War God

• All Troop Attack +6%

This reinforces the flexible nature of Dragon's Inspiring.

War of Dragons

• Attacking Troop Attack +10%

• Enemy Troop Defense -10%

War of Dragons gives Prince Rhaegar another broad offensive boost plus a useful universal enemy Defense debuff.

How Much Native March Size Does Prince Rhaegar Get?

Prince Rhaegar gains:

• March Size +10% from 3-Star Ascension

• March Size +6% from Annihilation

That gives:

16% native March Size

when fully developed.

If you also use a Lv4 March Size Skill Book:

• March Size +12%

Prince Rhaegar can contribute:

28% March Size

before other account-wide bonuses are included.

Best Skill Books for Prince Rhaegar

For Monster Hunting, a strong setup is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 March Size

This provides:

• more Monster damage

• more general Mounted damage

• more troops per march

It is the cleanest build for his strongest practical role.

Alternative Monster Hunting Build

If wounded troops are becoming a problem, you can replace March Size with:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP Against Monster

A more defensive Monster setup would therefore be:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP Against Monster

However, the best Monster build is normally the one that allows you to defeat the target with the fewest wounded troops.

Best Skill Books for Mounted PvP

For Mounted PvP, use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP

• Lv4 March Size

Another option is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Defense

• Lv4 March Size

Prince Rhaegar's own kit contains relatively little Mounted HP, so adding survivability through Skill Books and equipment can help.

Prince Rhaegar for Monster Hunting

Monster Hunting is the most practical role for Prince Rhaegar.

His advantages include:

• Troop Attack from Dragon's Inspiring

• Mounted Attack from Specialties

• March Size

• straightforward Skill Book compatibility

• easy acquisition

Mounted Troops are the standard troop type for most boss hunting because they deliver strong single-target damage.

Prince Rhaegar can therefore perform adequately against:

• Boss Monsters

• Event Monsters

• common Alliance rally targets

However, he is not a specialist Monster General.

Prince Rhaegar's Biggest Monster Hunting Weakness

Prince Rhaegar does not provide some of the specialist bonuses available from better Monster Generals.

He lacks built-in:

• Double Item Drop Rate

• Stamina reduction

• large Monster-specific Attack bonuses

• strong Monster-specific survivability bonuses

That means Generals such as dedicated Monster Hunters will usually provide better long-term value.

Prince Rhaegar is best viewed as an accessible stepping-stone rather than an endgame boss-hunting specialist.

Prince Rhaegar for Mounted PvP

Prince Rhaegar can also lead Mounted Troops in PvP.

His developed kit can provide:

• Troop Attack

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Defense

• March Size

• broad Marching Defense

• Enemy Defense reduction

Mounted Troops are especially effective against Ground-heavy opponents.

However, Prince Rhaegar lacks the huge Mounted Attack, HP and Defense packages available from modern Mounted Generals.

For serious PvP, he is better as a temporary or secondary option.

[H2] Prince Rhaegar and Ground Troops

Prince Rhaegar also receives some Ground support through Annihilation.

This adds:

• Attacking Ground Troop Attack +10%

His general-purpose Special Skill and other broad Attack buffs also work with Ground Troops.

However, he should not be treated as a dedicated Ground General.

His overall Specialty package is more naturally aligned with Mounted Troops.

Prince Rhaegar and Other Troop Types

Because Dragon's Inspiring affects all troops, Prince Rhaegar technically works with:

• Ranged Troops

• Siege Machines

as well.

However, his Specialties do not provide enough dedicated support to make either of these efficient long-term builds.

Use specialist Generals instead.

Prince Rhaegar on Main City Defense

Prince Rhaegar should not normally be used as a Wall General.

Dragon's Inspiring activates when he is leading the army to attack.

That means his key base Attack bonus does not suit passive Main City Defense.

Dedicated Wall Generals provide much better defensive value.

Best Assistant Generals for Prince Rhaegar

There is little reason to build an expensive premium pairing specifically around Prince Rhaegar.

For Monster Hunting, choose an Assistant that adds:

• Mounted Attack Against Monster

• Mounted Attack

• Monster HP reduction

• Monster Defense reduction

• March Size

• useful Monster Hunting utility

For Mounted PvP, look for:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted HP

• Mounted Defense

• March Size

without disabling Dragon's Inspiring.

Always test the exact Main and Assistant General combination in-game before investing heavily.

Equipment and Refines

For Monster Hunting or Mounted PvP, prioritise Mounted-focused equipment.

A typical refine setup is:

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

For high-tier Mounted Troops, percentage refines are generally preferred.

However, avoid spending premium refining resources on Prince Rhaegar if you expect to replace him soon.

Is Prince Rhaegar F2P Friendly?

Yes.

This is one of his biggest strengths.

Prince Rhaegar is available from the Tavern.

Current sources list his Tavern cost at:

• 50,000,000 Gold

He can also be obtained through the Great General Chest.

That means F2P and low-spend players can obtain him without relying entirely on premium events or packs.

Prince Rhaegar and the Art Hall

Prince Rhaegar is also required for:

• Invincible Ares

in General Hall I.

This gives him collection value even after you replace him as an active combat General.

Do not dismiss or recycle him without checking your Art Hall progress.

Is Prince Rhaegar Still Relevant in 2026?

Only in a limited practical role.

Prince Rhaegar still offers:

• accessible acquisition

• broad attacking buffs

• Mounted-focused Specialties

• 16% native March Size

• Monster Hunting utility

• Art Hall value

However, modern Monster and Mounted Generals are dramatically stronger.

His base Special Skill provides only:

• Troop Attack +15%

and his fully developed combat package cannot compete with newer Generals that provide much larger Attack, HP, Defense and March Size bonuses.

Is Prince Rhaegar Worth Ascending?

Usually not as a high priority.

His Ascension adds:

• Marching Attack

• March Size +10%

• Marching Defense

• additional Attack

• Wounded-to-Death pressure for PvP

These bonuses are useful.

However, Blood of Ares is far more valuable when spent on a stronger long-term Main General.

Ascending Prince Rhaegar makes the most sense if:

• you have already developed him heavily

• you use him in a secondary march

• you have no better General available

• Blood of Ares is not currently needed elsewhere

For most developing accounts, stop before heavy Ascension investment.

Is Prince Rhaegar Worth Specialties?

Usually not from zero.

His Specialties improve:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Defense

• March Size

• all-troop Attack

• enemy Defense debuffing

but Runestones are extremely valuable.

If Prince Rhaegar is only a temporary Monster Hunter, save those Runestones for a stronger long-term General.

Unlocking basic Specialties can be reasonable.

Fully maxing War of Dragons is harder to justify in 2026.

Is Prince Rhaegar Worth Investing In?

Prince Rhaegar can be worth using if:

• you are a newer player

• you obtain him early from the Tavern

• you need another Monster Hunting General

• you need an accessible Mounted General

• you want the Invincible Ares Art Hall collection

• you have not yet obtained stronger alternatives

Avoid heavy long-term investment if:

• you already own a strong modern Monster General

• you already own a strong modern Mounted General

• you are deciding where to spend Blood of Ares

• you are deciding where to spend Runestones

• you are refining expensive endgame equipment

How to Obtain Prince Rhaegar

Prince Rhaegar is available from:

• Tavern

• Great General Chest

Current databases list his Tavern cost at:

• 50,000,000 Gold

He is also required for the Invincible Ares collection in General Hall I.

That combination makes him easy to obtain and useful to keep even after he has been replaced in combat.

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Prince Rhaegar is a good example of an Evony General whose reputation needs updating.

His old role as a capable Monster and Mounted General was reasonable when the General roster was much smaller.

Modern Evony now contains dramatically stronger options.

Prince Rhaegar's Special Skill gives only:

• Troop Attack +15%

while his Specialties provide relatively modest Mounted and general attacking bonuses.

That is no longer enough to justify major endgame investment.

His value in 2026 comes from:

• being Tavern-accessible

• being easy for newer players to obtain

• working adequately with Mounted Troops

• providing a useful secondary Monster march

• contributing to the Invincible Ares Art Hall set

Use him if he solves a problem for your account.

Do not confuse accessibility with endgame strength.

TEBA Verdict

Prince Rhaegar is an accessible older Monster Hunting and Mounted General.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Troop Attack +15% while attacking

His Ascension adds:

• Marching Troop Attack

• March Size +10%

• Marching Troop Defense

• additional Marching Attack

while his Specialties add:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Defense

• March Size +6%

• All Troop Attack

• Enemy Troop Defense reduction

His biggest strengths are:

• Tavern accessibility

• Great General Chest availability

• 16% native March Size when fully developed

• simple Monster Hunting build

• Art Hall value

His biggest weakness is power creep.

Modern Monster and Mounted Generals offer much stronger combat packages.

For newer F2P players, Prince Rhaegar can be a perfectly useful temporary Monster Hunter or backup Mounted General.

For established accounts, he is better treated as a secondary march General or Art Hall collectible rather than a General worth major new investment.
