Wei Qing Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Wei Qing Evony Guide 2026

Wei Qing is an older but still useful Monster Hunting General in Evony: The King's Return with a secondary role as a Subordinate City debuffer.

He is best suited to:

• Monster Hunting

• Boss Monster rallies

• secondary Mounted marches

• Subordinate City debuff support

• F2P and low-spend accounts

• players who want an accessible Tavern General

His biggest strengths are:

• Mounted Troop Attack

• useful March Size

• Enemy Ground Troop Attack reduction

• Enemy Mounted Troop Attack reduction

• some Ranged Troop support

• Tavern accessibility

• Great General Chest availability

• simple Monster Hunting build

Wei Qing should primarily be built around Mounted Troops when used as a combat General.

Is Wei Qing Good in Evony?

Yes, but mainly as an accessible older option.

Wei Qing's Special Skill provides:

• Mounted Troop Attack +15%

• Ranged Troop Attack +15%

• Enemy Ground Troop Attack -15%

• Enemy Mounted Troop Attack -15%

when he is leading the army.

That gives him an unusual hybrid profile.

He provides:

• offensive Mounted value

• offensive Ranged value

• anti-Ground debuffing

• anti-Mounted debuffing

For most players, Mounted is still the best troop type to build around.

Wei Qing Best Role

Best Role: Monster Hunting

Secondary Role: Subordinate City Debuff Support

Also Good For:

• backup Mounted PvP

• secondary Monster marches

• budget Boss rallies

Avoid Using For:

• serious Ranged PvP

• Main City Defense

• Duty Officer

• fresh endgame Mounted investment

Wei Qing's kit is flexible, but it is not strong enough to make him a modern top-end PvP General.

Wei Qing Special Skill

Wei Qing's Special Skill is:

Frontier Expedition

When Wei Qing is leading the army:

• Enemy Ground Troop Attack -15%

• Enemy Mounted Troop Attack -15%

• Mounted Troop Attack +15%

• Ranged Troop Attack +15%

The skill is always active while he leads.

There is no Dragon requirement.

There is no attacking-only condition on the base skill.

Why Wei Qing Works for Monster Hunting

Mounted Troops are the standard troop type for most Boss Monster Hunting.

Wei Qing provides:

• Mounted Attack

• additional Mounted Attack through Ascension

• more Mounted Attack through Specialties

• March Size

• Mounted HP

That gives him enough useful Monster stats to work as:

• an early Monster General

• a secondary Monster General

• a budget Boss rally leader

However, modern specialist Monster Generals now offer much stronger Monster-specific bonuses.

Wei Qing Ascension

Ascending Wei Qing improves both his debuffing and combat performance.

1 Star

• Enemy Ground Troop Attack -10%

• Enemy Mounted Troop Attack -10%

This strengthens his anti-Ground and anti-Mounted role.

2 Stars

When Wei Qing is leading the army to attack:

• Troop Death into Wounded Rate +8%

This reduces some permanent losses during offensive PvP.

3 Stars

• March Size Capacity +10%

This is one of his most useful Ascension upgrades.

A larger march improves both:

• Monster damage

• PvP performance

4 Stars

• Mounted Troop Attack +20%

This directly strengthens his main troop type.

5 Stars

• Ranged Troop Attack +20%

This improves his secondary Ranged role.

Wei Qing Specialties

Wei Qing has four Specialties.

Mounted Troop Assault

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

This directly supports his main role.

Annihilation

• March Size Capacity +6%

• Attacking Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Attacking Ground Troop Attack +10%

The March Size increase is especially useful.

War God

• All Troops Attack +6%

This improves every troop type.

For Wei Qing, the Mounted and Ranged benefits are the most relevant.

Battle of Dragon City

• Ranged Troop Attack +20%

• Mounted Troop Attack +20%

Battle of Dragon City is Wei Qing's standout Specialty.

It improves both troop types supported by Frontier Expedition.

How Much Mounted Attack Can Wei Qing Add?

Wei Qing gains Mounted Attack from:

• Frontier Expedition: +15%

• 4-Star Ascension: +20%

• Mounted Troop Assault: +10%

• Annihilation: +10% when attacking

• War God: +6%

• Battle of Dragon City: +20%

That gives:

81% Mounted Troop Attack

from his own fully developed attacking kit.

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

How Much Ranged Attack Can Wei Qing Add?

Wei Qing gains Ranged Attack from:

• Frontier Expedition: +15%

• 5-Star Ascension: +20%

• War God: +6%

• Battle of Dragon City: +20%

That gives:

61% Ranged Troop Attack

from his own fully developed kit.

That is useful secondary support, but not enough to make Ranged his best role.

How Much Ground Attack Does Wei Qing Add?

Ground Troops only gain limited offensive support.

Wei Qing gets:

• Attacking Ground Troop Attack +10% from Annihilation

• All Troops Attack +6% from War God

That gives:

16% Ground Attack

when attacking.

Ground is clearly not a primary build for Wei Qing.

How Much Native March Size Does Wei Qing Get?

Wei Qing 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%

his personal contribution becomes:

28% March Size

before account-wide systems.

Wei Qing's Enemy Debuffs

Wei Qing reduces:

• Enemy Ground Attack -15% from Frontier Expedition

• Enemy Mounted Attack -15% from Frontier Expedition

At 1-Star Ascension, he adds another:

• Enemy Ground Attack -10%

• Enemy Mounted Attack -10%

That gives:

• Enemy Ground Attack -25%

• Enemy Mounted Attack -25%

from his own fully Ascended kit.

This is what gives Wei Qing a useful second life as a Subordinate City General.

Best Skill Books for Wei Qing Monster Hunting

For Monster Hunting, a strong setup is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 March Size

This improves:

• Monster damage

• Mounted damage

• total troop volume

This is the cleanest Wei Qing Monster build.

Alternative Monster Build

If wounded troops are becoming a problem, use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP Against Monster

• Lv4 March Size

This sacrifices some general Mounted Attack for more Monster survivability.

Monster Loot Hybrid Build

For easier Bosses that you already defeat comfortably, you can use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Luck

• Lv4 March Size

Luck improves:

• Double Item Drop Rate

This can be useful when reward farming matters more than maximum damage.

Wei Qing for Monster Hunting

Monster Hunting is Wei Qing's best practical combat role.

His Mounted package gives:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted HP

• March Size

and he can use standard Monster Skill Books.

This makes him easy to build.

However, dedicated Monster Generals now provide stronger:

• Monster-specific Attack

• Monster Defense reduction

• Monster HP reduction

• Double Item Drop

• Stamina efficiency

Wei Qing is therefore best viewed as an accessible budget or secondary Monster General.

Wei Qing for Mounted PvP

Wei Qing can also lead Mounted Troops in PvP.

His fully developed kit provides:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted HP

• March Size

• Troop Death into Wounded support

However, he has one major weakness:

• almost no personal Mounted Defense

That leaves his Mounted PvP package much less balanced than modern cavalry Generals.

Use him as:

• a backup

• secondary Mounted march

• early accessible option

rather than a fresh endgame investment.

Wei Qing for Ranged PvP

Wei Qing technically supports Ranged Troops.

His developed kit can provide:

• Ranged Attack +61%

However, he provides very little:

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• March Size specifically for Ranged

Modern Ranged Generals are much stronger.

Ranged should remain secondary.

Wei Qing as a Subordinate City General

Wei Qing has useful Sub City potential because of his enemy Attack debuffs.

A fully Ascended Wei Qing can reduce:

• Enemy Ground Attack -25%

• Enemy Mounted Attack -25%

This makes him useful against:

• Ground attacks

• Mounted attacks

If you already have stronger Monster and Mounted Generals, moving Wei Qing into a Sub City can keep him useful.

Does Wei Qing Need Skill Books as a Sub City Mayor?

No.

Skill Books do not improve his main debuffs.

If you use Wei Qing as a Sub City Mayor, focus more on:

• debuff equipment

• Ascension

• keeping his Special Skill active

rather than combat Skill Books.

Best Equipment for Wei Qing as a Sub City General

For Sub City use, prioritise debuff-oriented equipment.

Look for effects that reduce:

• Enemy Troop Attack

• Enemy Troop Defense

• Enemy Troop HP

Achaemenidae and similar debuff sets can dramatically increase his value.

Try to complement the debuffs provided by your other Sub City Generals.

Wei Qing Against Ground Troops

Ground Troops are one of Wei Qing's strongest debuff targets.

He can reduce:

• Enemy Ground Attack -25%

when fully Ascended.

That can be useful against Ground-heavy attackers.

Wei Qing Against Mounted Troops

Mounted Troops receive the same treatment.

Wei Qing can reduce:

• Enemy Mounted Attack -25%

when fully Ascended.

This gives him useful anti-cavalry value from a Sub City.

Wei Qing Against Ranged Troops

Wei Qing does not provide meaningful Ranged-specific enemy debuffs.

Use another Sub City General if Ranged Troops are your main target.

Wei Qing Against Siege Machines

He also lacks major Siege-specific debuffs.

Again, his debuff niche is clearly:

• Ground

• Mounted

Is Wei Qing Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes, but mainly because he is accessible and flexible.

He still provides:

• useful Mounted Attack

• 16% native March Size

• Monster Hunting capability

• Enemy Ground Attack reduction

• Enemy Mounted Attack reduction

• Tavern accessibility

• Great General Chest availability

Modern combat Generals have much higher ceilings.

But Wei Qing can still provide value to developing accounts.

Is Wei Qing F2P Friendly?

Yes.

Wei Qing is available from the Tavern.

Current sources list his cost at:

• 50,000,000 Gold

He can also be obtained from:

• Great General Chest

• Premium Packages

That gives F2P and low-spend players a realistic route to obtain him and collect duplicate fragments.

How to Obtain Wei Qing

Wei Qing can be obtained through:

• Tavern

• Great General Chest

• Premium Packages

Current sources list his Tavern cost at:

• 50,000,000 Gold

This accessibility is one of his biggest advantages.

Is Wei Qing Worth Ascending?

Potentially.

His Ascension adds:

• Enemy Ground Attack -10%

• Enemy Mounted Attack -10%

• March Size +10%

• Mounted Attack +20%

• Ranged Attack +20%

• Troop Death into Wounded +8%

If you use him heavily, these are useful upgrades.

However, Blood of Ares is valuable.

Do not heavily Ascend Wei Qing from zero if you already have access to much stronger modern Generals.

Is Wei Qing Worth Specialties?

Potentially.

His Specialties add:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted HP

• March Size

• All Troop Attack

• Ranged Attack

Battle of Dragon City adds:

• Mounted Attack +20%

• Ranged Attack +20%

However, Runestones are expensive.

For most advanced accounts, stronger modern combat Generals should receive priority.

Is Wei Qing Worth Investing In?

Wei Qing is worth investing in if:

• you are F2P or low-spend

• you need an accessible Monster General

• you need another Mounted march

• you want a Tavern General

• you want anti-Ground Sub City debuffs

• you want anti-Mounted Sub City debuffs

• you already have him partly developed

He is less attractive if:

• you already own stronger Monster Generals

• you already own stronger Mounted PvP Generals

• your Blood of Ares is limited

• your Runestones are limited

• you are building a fresh endgame march from zero

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Wei Qing is not a modern top-end Monster or Mounted General.

His fully developed personal Mounted package can provide roughly:

• Mounted Attack +81%

• Mounted HP +10%

• March Size +16%

plus:

• Enemy Ground Attack -25%

• Enemy Mounted Attack -25%

when fully Ascended.

Those combat numbers are modest by modern standards.

But accessibility changes the calculation.

Wei Qing is:

• Tavern-accessible

• Great General Chest-accessible

• easy to understand

• flexible between Monster Hunting and Sub City use

That makes him much more useful for developing accounts than raw rankings alone suggest.

TEBA Verdict

Wei Qing is an accessible older Monster Hunting General with useful Subordinate City debuff value.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Mounted Attack +15%

• Ranged Attack +15%

• Enemy Ground Attack -15%

• Enemy Mounted Attack -15%

His Ascension then adds:

• another Enemy Ground Attack -10%

• another Enemy Mounted Attack -10%

• March Size +10%

• Mounted Attack +20%

• Ranged Attack +20%

• Troop Death into Wounded support

while his Specialties add:

• more Mounted Attack

• Mounted HP

• March Size +6%

• more Ranged Attack

• All Troop Attack

His biggest strengths are:

• accessibility

• useful Monster Hunting performance

• 16% native March Size

• anti-Ground debuffing

• anti-Mounted debuffing

• Great General Chest availability

• flexibility after being replaced

His biggest weaknesses are:

• low modern Mounted survivability

• limited Ranged support beyond Attack

• much stronger modern Monster Generals now existing

• much stronger modern Mounted PvP Generals now existing

For F2P and low-spend players, Wei Qing remains a practical Monster Hunting General in 2026.

Once stronger Monster Generals replace him, his anti-Ground and anti-Mounted debuffs give him a useful second life as a Subordinate City Mayor.
