Raged King Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Raged King Evony Guide 2026

Raged King is an older Siege-focused General in Evony: The King's Return.

He is best suited to:

• General Hall collection

• very early-game Siege use

• reserve Main City Defense

• temporary secondary Siege marches

His biggest strengths are:

• simple all-troop Attack bonus

• some Siege-focused Ascension

• some Main City Defense support

• Trap Triggering Chance

• accessibility through the Wheel of Fortune

• General Hall collection value

His biggest weakness is power creep.

Raged King's combat buffs are now far below modern Siege and Wall Generals.

For most established accounts, he should be treated primarily as a collection General rather than a serious long-term combat investment.

Is Raged King Good in Evony?

Only in a limited sense.

Raged King's Special Skill provides:

• Troop Attack +10%

whenever he is leading the army.

That bonus affects:

• Ground Troops

• Mounted Troops

• Ranged Troops

• Siege Machines

The problem is the size of the buff.

A 10% Attack bonus is very small by modern Evony standards.

His Ascension and Specialties push him toward Siege Machines, but even fully developed his total combat package is modest compared with newer Siege Generals.

Raged King Best Role

Best Practical Role: General Hall / Collection

Secondary Role: Reserve Siege or Main City Defense

Avoid Heavy Investment For:

• endgame Siege PvP

• premium Wall Defense

• Monster Hunting

• long-term PvP development

Raged King can technically lead Siege Machines.

However, that does not mean he is a good target for Blood of Ares, Runestones or expensive refining.

Raged King Special Skill

Raged King's Special Skill is:

Dragon Devour

When Raged King is leading the army:

• Troop Attack +10%

There are no:

• Dragon requirements

• attack-only troop-type requirements

• defense-only conditions

The skill is simple and always active when he leads.

However, it is also weak compared with modern General skills.

Raged King Ascension

Current sources publish a full Ascension tree for Raged King.

1 Star

• Siege Machine Attack +15%

This is his first meaningful Siege-specific increase.

2 Stars

• Marching Troop Death into Wounded Rate +8%

This helps reduce permanent losses when attacking.

3 Stars

• Siege Machine Defense +15%

• Siege Machine HP +15%

This adds useful Siege survivability.

4 Stars

• Ranged Troop Defense +10%

• Ranged Troop HP +10%

• Siege Machine Defense +10%

• Siege Machine HP +10%

This broadens his survivability into both Ranged and Siege.

5 Stars

• Siege Machine Attack +20%

The final star adds another Siege Attack increase.

Raged King Specialties

Raged King has four Specialties.

Siege Machine Assault

• Siege Machine Attack +10%

• Siege Machine HP +10%

This supports his Siege role.

Ambush

Applied to Main City Defense General:

• Trap Triggering Chance +20%

• In-City Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• In-City Siege Machine Attack +10%

This is the main reason Raged King has some defensive relevance.

Iron Warrior

• Enemy Wounded into Death +10% when attacking

This adds some extra offensive pressure in PvP.

Crazy War

• All Troop Attack +10%

This gives another broad Attack increase.

Is Raged King Better for Siege PvP or Main City Defense?

Neither role is especially strong in 2026.

His Ascension leans toward Siege combat.

His Ambush Specialty leans toward Main City Defense.

That makes him somewhat hybrid.

For Siege PvP, he can provide:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• broad Troop Attack

For Main City Defense, he can provide:

• Trap Triggering Chance

• In-City Ranged Attack

• In-City Siege Attack

However, modern dedicated Generals outperform him heavily in both roles.

Raged King for Siege PvP

Raged King can technically be built for Siege PvP.

A basic Siege build would use:

• Lv4 Siege Machine Attack

• Lv4 Siege Machine Range Bonus

• Lv4 March Size

This gives:

• more Siege damage

• longer Siege range

• more troops per march

However, this should normally be treated as a temporary build.

Do not spend large amounts of premium resources refining endgame gear specifically for Raged King.

Raged King for Main City Defense

Raged King also has some defensive utility.

Ambush provides:

• Trap Triggering Chance +20%

• In-City Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• In-City Siege Machine Attack +10%

That can help early or developing accounts.

However, his base Special Skill only provides:

• Troop Attack +10%

and his overall defensive kit lacks the large:

• In-City Attack

• HP

• Defense

• enemy debuffs

• troop-type coverage

provided by modern Wall Generals.

Use him only as a temporary defensive solution.

Raged King and Trap Triggering Chance

Ambush gives:

• Trap Triggering Chance +20%

when Raged King is the Main City Defense General.

This is a useful bonus.

However, it is not strong enough on its own to justify making him a long-term Wall General.

Trap-focused players should still compare him against dedicated modern defensive Generals.

How Much Siege Attack Can Raged King Add?

Raged King can gain Siege Attack from:

• Dragon Devour: +10% all-troop Attack

• 1-Star Ascension: +15% Siege Attack

• 5-Star Ascension: +20% Siege Attack

• Siege Machine Assault: +10% Siege Attack

• Ambush: +10% In-City Siege Attack when defending

• Crazy War: +10% all-troop Attack

This gives him a usable Siege package on paper.

However, raw totals still trail modern Siege Generals by a large margin.

Does Raged King Need Skill Books?

Only if you are temporarily using him.

For Siege PvP, use:

• Lv4 Siege Machine Attack

• Lv4 Siege Machine Range Bonus

• Lv4 March Size

For Main City Defense, you could instead use:

• Lv4 Siege Machine Attack

• Lv4 Siege Machine Range Bonus

• Lv4 Siege Machine HP

But do not invest heavily in premium Skill Book setups if you already expect to replace him.

Does Raged King Need Equipment?

Only temporary equipment.

If you use him for Siege, prioritise:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

If you use him on the Wall, focus on:

• In-City Siege performance

• Ranged support

• defensive survivability

However, expensive endgame gear should normally go to a stronger long-term General.

Best Assistant General for Raged King

There is little reason to build an expensive premium Assistant pairing specifically around Raged King.

If you temporarily use him for Siege, look for an Assistant that adds:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• March Size

• useful offensive buffs

For Wall use, look for:

• In-City troop buffs

• Siege support

• Ranged support

• enemy debuffs

Always confirm that both Special Skills remain active in-game.

Raged King and General Hall

This is one of Raged King's most important uses.

Raged King is required for:

• the Tyrant set in the Art Hall / General Hall

That means even players who never use him in combat may still need to obtain and keep him.

Do not dismiss him permanently before checking your collection progress.

How to Obtain Raged King

Raged King can be obtained through the:

• Wheel of Fortune

Current databases also display him with a value of:

• 30,000,000 Gold

and list him under the Tavern/Others category.

However, the Wheel of Fortune is the clearest consistently documented acquisition route.

Always check the current in-game pool before spending specifically for him.

Is Raged King F2P Friendly?

Yes, in terms of acquisition.

He is not locked behind an expensive premium-only event.

However, F2P-friendly does not automatically mean worth developing.

For a F2P account, scarce resources such as:

• Blood of Ares

• Runestones

• refining stones

• high-level gear

are usually better spent on stronger long-term Generals.

Is Raged King Worth Ascending?

Usually no.

His Ascension adds:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• Troop Death into Wounded Rate

These bonuses are useful.

But Blood of Ares is far too valuable to spend casually.

Raged King should only be Ascended if:

• you genuinely use him

• you have no stronger Siege option

• your main combat Generals are already developed

• you understand that he is likely to be replaced

For most accounts, save the Blood of Ares.

Is Raged King Worth Specialties?

Usually no.

His Specialties add:

• Siege Attack

• Siege HP

• Trap Triggering Chance

• In-City Ranged Attack

• In-City Siege Attack

• Enemy Wounded into Death

• All Troop Attack

These bonuses are useful but not strong enough to justify heavy Runestone investment for most players.

If you only need Raged King for General Hall, do not spend Runestones on him.

Is Raged King Still Relevant in 2026?

Not as a serious endgame combat General.

He remains relevant because of:

• General Hall collection requirements

• easy acquisition

• temporary Siege use

• temporary Wall use

• some Trap support

His combat numbers are simply too small to compete with modern premium and even many accessible Generals.

Raged King and Power Creep

Raged King is a textbook example of Evony power creep.

His base skill gives:

• Troop Attack +10%

Modern Generals commonly provide much larger combinations of:

• Attack

• Defense

• HP

• March Size

• enemy debuffs

• rally bonuses

• Dragon or Beast bonuses

Raged King was more usable when the General roster was much smaller.

In 2026, his main value is historical and collectible rather than competitive.

Is Raged King Worth Investing In?

Raged King may be worth using if:

• you are a very new player

• you obtained him early

• you need a temporary Siege General

• you need a temporary Wall General

• you need him for the Tyrant General Hall set

Avoid major investment if:

• you already have stronger Siege Generals

• you already have a dedicated Wall General

• Blood of Ares is limited

• Runestones are limited

• you are refining endgame equipment

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

The old TEBA page describes Raged King as a reasonable Siege option.

That was understandable when the Evony General roster was much smaller.

It is no longer the best advice.

His base Special Skill gives only:

• Troop Attack +10%

Even after Ascension and Specialties, his overall Siege package remains modest.

The correct modern approach is:

• obtain him for General Hall

• use him temporarily if needed

• avoid expensive long-term development

• move to a stronger Siege or Wall General when available

TEBA Verdict

Raged King is an old Siege-focused General whose combat value has been heavily overtaken by power creep.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Troop Attack +10%

His Ascension can add:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• Troop Death into Wounded Rate

while his Specialties add:

• Siege Attack and HP

• Trap Triggering Chance +20%

• In-City Ranged and Siege Attack

• Enemy Wounded into Death

• All Troop Attack

His biggest strengths are:

• easy acquisition

• simple Siege utility

• some defensive flexibility

• General Hall value

His biggest weakness is raw power.

Modern Siege and Main City Defense Generals dramatically outperform him.

For most players in 2026, Raged King should be obtained for the Tyrant collection, kept if needed, and left largely undeveloped.

If you need him temporarily, he can fill a Siege or Wall slot.

Do not mistake temporary usefulness for a good long-term investment.
