Thutmose III Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Thutmose III Evony Guide 2026

Thutmose III is a Ranged Troop General in Evony: The King's Return.

He is best suited to:

• Ranged PvP

• attacking enemy Keeps

• secondary Ranged marches

• established accounts that already have him developed

His biggest strengths are:

• solid Ranged Troop Attack

• excellent native March Size

• straightforward Ranged Skill Book compatibility

• some Ground Troop survivability support

• easy-to-understand offensive build

Thutmose III should primarily be built as an attacking Ranged General.

Is Thutmose III Good in Evony?

Yes, although he is now better viewed as an older Ranged option rather than a top-end modern General.

His Special Skill provides:

• Ranged Troop Attack +30%

• Ground Troop HP +25%

when he is leading the army to attack.

That gives him useful Ranged damage with some secondary Ground support.

His main weakness is that his base Special Skill does not provide Ranged Defense or HP.

Thutmose III Best Role

Best Role: Ranged PvP

Also Useful For: Secondary Ranged Marches

Avoid Using For: Main City Defense or dedicated Monster Hunting

Thutmose III should primarily be built around Ranged Troops.

Although his Special Skill and Ascension provide some Ground buffs, he should not be treated as a dedicated Ground General.

Thutmose III Special Skill

Thutmose III's Special Skill is:

Invincible Pharaoh

When Thutmose III is leading the army to attack:

• Ranged Troop Attack +30%

• Ground Troop HP +25%

The important condition is:

when leading the army to attack.

That makes Thutmose III primarily an offensive General.

Thutmose III Ascension

Ascending Thutmose III improves his Ranged damage, Ground support and march capacity.

1 Star

• Marching Ground Troop Defense +15%

• Marching Ground Troop HP +15%

This reinforces his secondary Ground survivability role.

2 Stars

When leading the army to attack:

• Troop Death into Wounded Rate +10%

This reduces permanent troop losses during offensive PvP.

3 Stars

• March Size Capacity +14%

This is one of Thutmose III's strongest upgrades.

A 14% March Size increase significantly improves the total number of troops he can take into battle.

4 Stars

• Marching Ranged Troop Attack +15%

• Marching Ground Troop HP +15%

This strengthens his main Ranged role while adding more Ground survivability.

5 Stars

• Marching Ranged Troop Attack +20%

• Marching Ranged Troop Defense +15%

• Marching Ranged Troop HP +15%

The fifth star finally gives Thutmose III a much more balanced Ranged profile.

Thutmose III Specialties

Thutmose III has four Specialties.

Ranged Troop Formation

• Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• Ranged Troop Defense +10%

Bash

• Ranged Troop Attack +10%

• Siege Machine Attack +10%

War God

• All Troops Attack +6%

Battle of Megiddo

• Ranged Troop Attack +20%

• Ranged Troop Defense +20%

• Ground Troop Defense +20%

Battle of Megiddo is the standout Specialty.

It gives Thutmose III more Ranged Attack and Defense while reinforcing his secondary Ground support.

Best Skill Books for Thutmose III

Thutmose III works well with a standard Ranged PvP build.

A strong setup is:

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus

• Lv4 March Size

This provides:

• more Ranged damage

• better engagement range

• more troops per march

This is also the same core direction used by TEBA's existing Thutmose III build.

Alternative Skill Book Build

If you want more survivability, replace March Size with:

• Lv4 Ranged Troop HP

A survivability-focused build would therefore be:

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ranged Troop Range Bonus

• Lv4 Ranged Troop HP

This can help compensate for one of Thutmose III's biggest weaknesses.

Why Ranged HP Matters for Thutmose III

Thutmose III's base Special Skill gives no Ranged Troop HP.

That means his Ranged march can be less durable than newer Generals with more balanced Attack, Defense and HP packages.

Using:

• Ranged Troop HP Skill Book

• Ranged HP equipment refines

• a suitable Assistant General

can help correct this weakness.

Best Assistant Generals for Thutmose III

TEBA's current pairing data does not yet lock Thutmose III to a specific Assistant.

That means the safest approach is to choose a modern Ranged General that adds:

• Ranged Troop Attack

• Ranged Troop HP

• Ranged Troop Defense

• March Size

• useful attacking buffs

without disabling Invincible Pharaoh.

Always test the exact Main and Assistant combination in-game before committing Skill Books, Runestones or premium resources.

Equipment and Refines

For Ranged PvP, prioritise percentage-based Ranged refines.

A standard setup is:

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

For high-tier Ranged marches, percentage refines are generally preferred over flat refines.

Thutmose III for Ranged PvP

Ranged PvP is Thutmose III's main role.

His kit provides:

• solid Ranged Attack

• useful Ranged Defense through Specialties and Ascension

• 14% native March Size

• simple Skill Book compatibility

• secondary Ground support

Ranged Troops are especially effective against Mounted-heavy formations.

However, they can struggle against strong Ground marches.

Scout first and use the correct matchup.

Thutmose III and Ground Troops

Thutmose III provides meaningful Ground survivability.

His kit adds:

• Ground HP from Invincible Pharaoh

• Ground Defense from Ascension

• additional Ground HP through Ascension

• Ground Defense from Battle of Megiddo

However, he lacks the Ground Attack package needed to be a true Ground Main General.

Treat Ground buffs as secondary support.

Thutmose III and Siege Machines

Thutmose III gets a small amount of Siege Machine support through Bash.

Bash provides:

• Siege Machine Attack +10%

However, this is not enough to make him a serious Siege General.

His primary identity remains Ranged PvP.

How Much March Size Does Thutmose III Get?

Thutmose III gains:

• March Size +14% from 3-Star Ascension

That is one of the strongest features of his developed kit.

If you also use the Lv4 March Size Skill Book:

• March Size +12%

his personal contribution becomes:

26% March Size

before other account systems are added.

That is a significant advantage for an older Ranged General.

Thutmose III on Defense

Thutmose III should not normally be used as a passive Main City Defense General.

His base Special Skill requires him to be leading the army to attack.

That means his:

• Ranged Attack +30%

• Ground HP +25%

are designed for offensive marches.

Use a dedicated Wall General instead.

Is Thutmose III Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes, but mainly as an older accessible or already-developed Ranged option.

Thutmose III still offers:

• respectable Ranged Attack

• useful Ranged Defense

• 14% native March Size

• clean Skill Book compatibility

• secondary Ground support

However, newer Ranged Generals offer much larger and more balanced buff packages.

That means he should no longer be treated as a top-end Ranged investment.

Is Thutmose III Worth Ascending?

Yes, if you already use him.

His Ascension adds:

• more Ranged Attack

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• March Size +14%

• additional Ground survivability

• Death into Wounded Rate

The third and fifth stars are especially valuable.

The 3-Star March Size increase is arguably the biggest reason to continue developing him.

Is Thutmose III Worth Investing In?

Thutmose III is worth investing in if:

• you already own or have partly developed him

• Ranged PvP is one of your main combat styles

• you value his 14% March Size

• you can Ascend him without sacrificing stronger Generals

• you need a secondary Ranged march

He is less attractive if:

• you are starting from zero

• you already own stronger modern Ranged Generals

• you need a General with stronger Ranged HP

• your Blood of Ares and Runestones are limited

How to Obtain Thutmose III

Thutmose III has historically been associated with premium General acquisition and packs.

Some General databases display Tavern-category and Gold-cost metadata for him, while current acquisition references still list packs as the practical source.

Because General availability changes over time, check the current in-game recruitment and event screens before spending specifically for him.

TEBA Verdict

Thutmose III is a solid older Ranged PvP General with excellent March Size and useful Ground support.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Ranged Attack +30%

• Ground HP +25%

when attacking.

His Ascension then adds:

• more Ranged Attack

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• Ground survivability

• March Size +14%

while Battle of Megiddo adds:

• Ranged Attack +20%

• Ranged Defense +20%

• Ground Defense +20%

His biggest strengths are:

• straightforward Ranged build

• excellent native March Size

• useful offensive scaling

His biggest weakness is:

• comparatively weak Ranged HP until heavily developed

For players who already have Thutmose III developed, he remains a perfectly usable Ranged Main or secondary march General in 2026.

For players starting from zero, newer Ranged Generals offer better long-term value.
