Princess Kaguya Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Princess Kaguya Evony Guide 2026

Princess Kaguya is an attacking Ranged PvP General in Evony: The King's Return.

She is best suited to:

• Ranged PvP

• attacking Ranged marches

• Ranged rallies

• secondary Ranged marches

• Battlefield attacking

• players who already have her developed

Her biggest strengths are:

• strong Ranged Troop Attack

• excellent Ranged Troop HP

• good Ranged Troop Defense

• useful March Size

• strong Siege Machine HP support

• Enemy In-City Wounded into Death

• straightforward Ranged PvP build

Princess Kaguya should primarily be built around Ranged Troops.

Is Princess Kaguya Good in Evony?

Yes.

Princess Kaguya remains a strong attacking Ranged General.

Her Special Skill provides:

• Ranged Troop Attack +35%

• Ranged Troop HP +30%

• Siege Machine HP +30%

when she is leading the army to attack.

This gives her a strong combination of:

• Ranged damage

• Ranged survivability

• secondary Siege survivability

Her Ascension and Specialties improve all three areas further.

Princess Kaguya Best Role

Best Role: Ranged PvP

Also Good For:

• Ranged rallies

• secondary Ranged marches

• mixed Ranged/Siege attacking setups

• Battlefield attacks

Avoid Using For:

• Ground PvP

• Mounted PvP

• Monster Hunting as a primary role

• Subordinate City Mayor

• Duty Officer

• Main City Defense

Princess Kaguya's strongest effects activate while attacking.

That makes her an offensive General rather than a Wall General.

Princess Kaguya Special Skill

Princess Kaguya's Special Skill is:

Princess From the Moon

When Princess Kaguya is leading the army to attack:

• Ranged Troop Attack +35%

• Ranged Troop HP +30%

• Siege Machine HP +30%

This skill is always active whenever the attack condition is met.

There is no Dragon requirement.

Why Princess Kaguya Works So Well with Ranged Troops

Ranged Troops depend heavily on:

• Attack

• Range

• enough survivability to remain alive while dealing damage

Princess Kaguya provides a useful balance.

She does not only increase Ranged Attack.

She also gives substantial:

• Ranged HP

• Ranged Defense through Ascension and Specialties

This makes her more durable than many older pure-attack Ranged Generals.

Princess Kaguya Ascension

Ascending Princess Kaguya significantly improves her Ranged and Siege support.

1 Star

• Marching Ranged Troop Defense +15%

• Marching Siege Machine Defense +15%

• Marching Ranged Troop HP +10%

• Marching Siege Machine HP +10%

This gives both troop types useful survivability.

2 Stars

When Princess Kaguya is attacking:

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

This makes successful city attacks more punishing by converting some enemy wounded troops into dead troops.

3 Stars

• March Size Capacity +14%

This is one of Princess Kaguya's strongest Ascension upgrades.

A larger march improves:

• total Ranged damage

• survivability

• rally contribution

4 Stars

• Marching Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• Marching Ranged Troop HP +20%

• Marching Siege Machine HP +20%

This improves both Ranged damage and Ranged/Siege survivability.

5 Stars

• Marching Ranged Troop Attack +15%

• Marching Ranged Troop Defense +20%

• Marching Siege Machine Defense +20%

The fifth star gives another strong offensive and defensive increase.

How Much Ranged Attack Does Princess Kaguya Gain from Ascension?

Princess Kaguya gains:

• Ranged Attack +10% at 4-Star

• Ranged Attack +15% at 5-Star

That gives:

25% additional Ranged Troop Attack

from Ascension.

Combined with:

• Ranged Attack +35% from Princess From the Moon

she reaches:

60% Ranged Attack

before Specialties.

Princess Kaguya Specialties

Princess Kaguya has four Specialties.

Ranged Troop Formation

• Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• Ranged Troop Defense +10%

This directly supports her main troop type.

Siege

• March Size Capacity +6%

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +10%

• Attacking Ranged Troop Attack +10%

The March Size and Ranged Attack are especially useful.

War God

• All Troops Attack +6%

For Princess Kaguya, the Ranged and Siege benefits are the most relevant.

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

• Ranged Troop Attack +30%

• Ranged Troop Defense +15%

• Ranged Troop HP +15%

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is Princess Kaguya's standout Specialty.

It adds a large, balanced Ranged combat package.

How Much Ranged Attack Can Princess Kaguya Add?

Princess Kaguya gains Ranged Attack from:

• Princess From the Moon: +35%

• 4-Star Ascension: +10%

• 5-Star Ascension: +15%

• Ranged Troop Formation: +10%

• Siege: +10% when attacking

• War God: +6%

• The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter: +30%

That gives:

116% Ranged Troop Attack

from her own fully developed attacking kit.

This is before Skill Books, equipment, refines and account-wide systems.

How Much Ranged Defense Can Princess Kaguya Add?

Princess Kaguya gains:

• Ranged Defense +15% at 1-Star

• Ranged Defense +20% at 5-Star

• Ranged Troop Formation +10%

• The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter +15%

That gives:

60% Ranged Troop Defense

from her fully developed kit.

How Much Ranged HP Can Princess Kaguya Add?

Princess Kaguya gains:

• Ranged HP +30% from Princess From the Moon

• Ranged HP +10% at 1-Star

• Ranged HP +20% at 4-Star

• The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter +15%

That gives:

75% Ranged Troop HP

from her own fully developed attacking kit.

This remains one of her strongest attributes.

Princess Kaguya and Siege Machines

Princess Kaguya is not primarily a Siege General.

However, she gives Siege Machines meaningful survivability.

Her kit can provide:

• Siege HP +30% from Princess From the Moon

• Siege Defense +15% at 1-Star

• Siege HP +10% at 1-Star

• Siege HP +20% at 4-Star

• Siege Defense +20% at 5-Star

• Attacking Siege Attack +10% from Siege

• All Troops Attack +6% from War God

This makes mixed Ranged/Siege formations more viable than her Ranged label alone suggests.

How Much Native March Size Does Princess Kaguya Get?

Princess Kaguya gains:

• March Size +14% from 3-Star Ascension

• March Size +6% from Siege

That gives:

20% native March Size

when fully developed.

If you add a Lv4 March Size Skill Book:

• March Size +12%

her personal contribution becomes:

32% March Size

before account-wide buffs.

This is a very useful amount of March Size for a Ranged General.

Best Skill Books for Princess Kaguya

For Ranged PvP, a strong setup is:

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus

• Lv4 March Size

This improves:

• Ranged damage

• engagement range

• total troop volume

This is the cleanest all-round Princess Kaguya build.

Alternative Ranged Build

If you want more durability, use:

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus

• Lv4 Ranged Troop HP

This sacrifices March Size for additional survivability.

For most attacking builds, March Size is usually the stronger default.

Why Ranged Range Bonus Matters

Ranged Troops rely on dealing damage before enemy troops reach them.

Ranged Troop Range Bonus improves the distance from which they can attack.

This is particularly important against:

• Mounted Troops

• Ground Troops closing distance

• large PvP formations

For a serious Ranged build, Range Bonus should usually be treated as a core Skill Book.

Princess Kaguya for Ranged PvP

Ranged PvP is Princess Kaguya's correct role.

Her developed kit gives:

• Ranged Attack

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• March Size

• Enemy Wounded into Death

• useful Siege support

This creates a durable offensive Ranged march.

Princess Kaguya Against Mounted Troops

Ranged Troops are naturally strong against Mounted-heavy formations.

Princess Kaguya's combination of:

• strong Ranged Attack

• strong Ranged HP

• good Ranged Defense

makes her well suited to this matchup.

Princess Kaguya Against Ground Troops

Ground Troops are a much more dangerous matchup for Ranged armies.

Princess Kaguya does not provide major anti-Ground debuffs.

Scout carefully before committing a large Ranged march into a strong Ground-heavy opponent.

Princess Kaguya and Wounded into Death

At 2-Star Ascension, Princess Kaguya gains:

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

This applies when attacking enemy cities.

It makes successful hits more expensive for the defender because some troops that would normally become wounded instead become dead.

This is useful in:

• Server War

• serious city PvP

• high-value offensive hits

Best Assistant Generals for Princess Kaguya

Current TEBA data highlights:

• Sigurd

• Merlin

• Franz Joseph I

as pairing directions.

A strong Assistant should add:

• Ranged Attack

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• March Size

• attacking buffs

• useful enemy debuffs

without disabling Princess From the Moon.

Always verify compatibility in-game before committing expensive resources.

Princess Kaguya and Sigurd

Sigurd is a natural Ranged pairing direction.

He can add additional:

• Ranged Attack

• Ranged survivability

• flexible combat support

This can create a strong pure-Ranged attacking march.

Princess Kaguya and Merlin

Merlin can also provide strong Ranged support.

He is particularly useful where you want to improve:

• Ranged Attack

• total offensive scaling

Again, confirm current Main/Assistant compatibility in-game.

Princess Kaguya and Franz Joseph I

Franz Joseph I is another useful Ranged pairing direction.

His flexible Ranged kit can complement Princess Kaguya without forcing a mixed troop build.

Equipment and Refines

For Ranged PvP, prioritise percentage-based Ranged refines.

Bow

• Ranged Troop Attack % x4

Ring

• Ranged Troop Attack % x4

Armor

• Ranged Troop Defense % x4

Boots

• Ranged Troop Defense % x4

Helmet

• Ranged Troop HP % x4

Leg Armor

• Ranged Troop HP % x4

This gives Princess Kaguya a balanced Ranged PvP setup.

Princess Kaguya for Main City Defense

Princess Kaguya should not normally be your Wall General.

Her base Special Skill only activates:

• when attacking

Several of her strongest Ascension effects are also marching or attacking buffs.

Dedicated Main City Defense Generals provide much stronger:

• In-City buffs

• enemy debuffs

• defensive mechanics

• multi-troop coverage

Use Princess Kaguya as an attacker.

Princess Kaguya for Monster Hunting

Princess Kaguya can technically attack Monsters.

However, she lacks dedicated Monster effects such as:

• Monster Attack

• Monster Defense reduction

• Monster HP reduction

• stamina reduction

• Double Item Drop

Use a dedicated Monster General instead.

Is Princess Kaguya Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes, but she should now be judged against much newer Ranged releases.

Princess Kaguya still provides:

• 116% Ranged Attack

• 60% Ranged Defense

• 75% Ranged HP

• 20% native March Size

• Enemy Wounded into Death

• useful Siege survivability

from her own fully developed kit.

Those are still respectable numbers.

However, newer Ranged Generals may offer:

• larger total buffs

• stronger March Size

• Covenants

• Skins

• enemy debuffs

• better rally scaling

• easier modern development paths

Princess Kaguya is therefore strongest for players who already own and have developed her.

Is Princess Kaguya F2P Friendly?

Not reliably.

Princess Kaguya is not a normal Tavern recruitment General.

Some databases display a nominal:

• 60,000,000 Gold

value, but current specialist and event information does not support treating her as a standard Tavern recruit.

She has instead appeared through:

• premium packages

• General Portrait Exhibition

• General Hall II Historic General pools

• limited event exchanges

• seasonal event reward pools

Her accessibility depends heavily on the current event rotation.

How to Obtain Princess Kaguya

Princess Kaguya has been obtainable through several event-based routes.

These include:

• Premium Packages

• General Portrait Exhibition

• General Hall II Historic General tokens

• limited event exchanges

• selected seasonal event pools

She is part of:

• North Ocean War Song

in General Hall II.

That collection also includes:

• Nordic Barbarian King

• Ludwig

• Alessandra

Princess Kaguya also returned in 2026 seasonal event reward pools.

Always check the current live event before spending specifically to obtain her or her fragments.

Princess Kaguya and General Hall

Princess Kaguya is required for:

• North Ocean War Song

in General Hall II.

The collection includes:

• Nordic Barbarian King

• Princess Kaguya

• Ludwig

• Alessandra

Completing the collection provides additional General Hall rewards.

This gives Princess Kaguya collection value even if you eventually replace her in your primary Ranged march.

Does Princess Kaguya Have a Covenant?

No standard Princess Kaguya Covenant is currently documented.

Her development mainly comes from:

• Ascension

• Specialties

• equipment

• Skill Books

• Assistant General pairing

• account-wide systems

This means she lacks one of the major additional scaling systems available to some newer Generals.

Is Princess Kaguya Worth Ascending?

Yes, if she remains one of your main Ranged Generals.

Her Ascension adds:

• Ranged Attack +25%

• Ranged Defense +35%

• Ranged HP +30%

• Siege Defense +35%

• Siege HP +30%

• March Size +14%

• Enemy In-City Wounded into Death +10%

These are substantial improvements.

The 3-Star March Size upgrade is particularly valuable.

The biggest issue is fragment availability.

Unlike Tavern Generals, Princess Kaguya duplicates can depend on premium or rotating event routes.

Is Princess Kaguya Worth Specialties?

Yes, if you actively use her.

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter adds:

• Ranged Attack +30%

• Ranged Defense +15%

• Ranged HP +15%

while her other Specialties add:

• more Ranged Attack

• more Ranged Defense

• March Size

• All Troop Attack

• some Siege Attack

This is a strong Ranged Specialty package.

However, Runestones are expensive.

Compare her with newer Ranged options before maxing her from zero.

Is Princess Kaguya Worth Investing In?

Princess Kaguya is worth investing in if:

• you already own her

• Ranged PvP is one of your main combat styles

• you already have Ascension progress

• you can realistically obtain fragments

• you need another strong Ranged march

• you value her high Ranged HP

• you want 20% native March Size

She is less attractive if:

• you are strictly F2P

• fragments are difficult to obtain

• you already own stronger modern Ranged Generals

• your Blood of Ares is limited

• your Runestones are limited

• you are starting an endgame Ranged build completely from zero

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Princess Kaguya has aged reasonably well because her kit is balanced.

A fully developed Princess Kaguya can provide approximately:

• Ranged Attack +116%

• Ranged Defense +60%

• Ranged HP +75%

• March Size +20%

• Enemy In-City Wounded into Death +10%

before Skill Books and equipment.

She also gives Siege Machines useful:

• HP

• Defense

which makes her less one-dimensional than some older Ranged Generals.

Her main limitations in 2026 are:

• no major Covenant scaling

• event-based fragment availability

• newer Ranged Generals offering higher ceilings

If Princess Kaguya is already developed, she remains very usable.

If you are starting from zero, compare her carefully against newer Ranged options first.

TEBA Verdict

Princess Kaguya is a strong attacking Ranged PvP General built around a balanced combination of damage and survivability.

Her base Special Skill provides:

• Ranged Attack +35%

• Ranged HP +30%

• Siege HP +30%

when attacking.

Her Ascension then adds:

• Ranged Attack

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• March Size +14%

• Enemy In-City Wounded into Death +10%

while her Specialties add:

• more Ranged Attack

• more Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• March Size +6%

• some Siege Attack

Her biggest strengths are:

• strong Ranged Attack

• excellent Ranged HP

• good Ranged Defense

• 20% native March Size

• useful Siege survivability

• Wounded-to-Death pressure

Her biggest weaknesses are:

• event-based accessibility

• difficult Ascension compared with Tavern Generals

• no major Covenant scaling

• stronger newer Ranged options now existing

For players who already own and have developed Princess Kaguya, she remains a very capable Ranged PvP General in 2026.

For players starting from zero, compare her against newer Ranged Generals before committing large amounts of premium resources, Blood of Ares and Runestones.
