Yue Fei Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Yue Fei Evony Guide 2026

Yue Fei is an older hybrid Mounted and Ground PvP General in Evony: The King's Return.

He is best suited to:

• Mounted PvP

• Ground PvP

• secondary Mounted marches

• secondary Ground marches

• Monster Hunting

• F2P and low-spend accounts

• players who already have him developed

His biggest strengths are:

• Ground and Mounted Attack

• Ground and Mounted HP

• useful Ground and Mounted Defense through Ascension

• excellent native March Size

• Enemy Mounted Attack reduction

• simple attacking conditions

• Tavern accessibility

• flexibility between Mounted and Ground

Yue Fei should primarily be treated as a Mounted General, with Ground as his secondary troop type.

Is Yue Fei Good in Evony?

Yes, but he is now best viewed as an accessible older option rather than a modern endgame General.

His Special Skill provides:

• Ground Troop Attack +25%

• Mounted Troop Attack +25%

• Ground Troop HP +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

when he is leading the army to attack.

That gives him immediate offensive value for two troop types.

His Ascension then improves:

• Attack

• Defense

• HP

• March Size

while his Specialties lean more heavily toward Mounted Troops.

Yue Fei Best Role

Best Role: Mounted PvP

Secondary Role: Ground PvP

Also Good For:

• Monster Hunting

• secondary Mounted marches

• secondary Ground marches

• accessible PvP progression

Avoid Using For:

• Ranged PvP

• Siege PvP

• Main City Defense

• Subordinate City Mayor

• Duty Officer

Mounted should be the default choice if you want one clear build.

Yue Fei Special Skill

Yue Fei's Special Skill is:

Loyalty to the Country

When Yue Fei is leading the army to attack:

• Ground Troop Attack +25%

• Mounted Troop Attack +25%

• Ground Troop HP +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

The important condition is:

• attacking

That means Yue Fei is primarily an offensive General.

Yue Fei Ascension

Ascending Yue Fei improves both Ground and Mounted combat performance.

1 Star

• Marching Ground Troop Defense +10%

• Marching Mounted Troop Defense +10%

• Marching Ground Troop HP +10%

• Marching Mounted Troop HP +10%

This gives both troop types better survivability.

2 Stars

When Yue Fei is leading the army to attack:

• Troop Death into Wounded Rate +10%

This reduces permanent losses during offensive PvP.

3 Stars

• March Size Capacity +14%

This is one of Yue Fei's strongest upgrades.

A 14% March Size increase is excellent for an older General.

4 Stars

• Marching Ground Troop Attack +10%

• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Marching Ground Troop HP +10%

• Marching Mounted Troop HP +10%

This improves both damage and durability.

5 Stars

• Marching Ground Troop Attack +15%

• Marching Mounted Troop Attack +15%

• Marching Ground Troop Defense +15%

• Marching Mounted Troop Defense +15%

The fifth star gives another strong offensive and defensive increase.

Yue Fei Specialties

Yue Fei has four Specialties.

Mounted Troop Assault

• Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Mounted Troop HP +10%

This is one reason Mounted becomes his strongest overall troop type.

Annihilation

• March Size Capacity +6%

• Attacking Mounted Troop Attack +10%

• Attacking Ground Troop Attack +10%

This is an excellent Specialty for Yue Fei.

It adds both:

• combat power

• March Size

War God

• All Troops Attack +6%

This gives both Ground and Mounted Troops another offensive increase.

Battle of Yancheng

• Ground Troop Attack +15%

• Mounted Troop Attack +15%

• Enemy Mounted Troop Attack -20%

Battle of Yancheng is Yue Fei's standout Specialty.

It adds useful offensive power while also weakening enemy Mounted Troops.

How Much Mounted Attack Can Yue Fei Add?

Yue Fei gains Mounted Attack from:

• Loyalty to the Country: +25%

• 4-Star Ascension: +10%

• 5-Star Ascension: +15%

• Mounted Troop Assault: +10%

• Annihilation: +10% when attacking

• War God: +6%

• Battle of Yancheng: +15%

That gives:

91% Mounted Troop Attack

from his own fully developed attacking kit.

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

How Much Ground Attack Can Yue Fei Add?

Yue Fei gains Ground Attack from:

• Loyalty to the Country: +25%

• 4-Star Ascension: +10%

• 5-Star Ascension: +15%

• Annihilation: +10% when attacking

• War God: +6%

• Battle of Yancheng: +15%

That gives:

81% Ground Troop Attack

from his own fully developed attacking kit.

Mounted therefore has a small offensive advantage because of Mounted Troop Assault.

How Much Mounted Defense Can Yue Fei Add?

Yue Fei gains:

• Mounted Defense +10% at 1-Star

• Mounted Defense +15% at 5-Star

That gives:

25% Mounted Troop Defense

from Ascension.

How Much Ground Defense Can Yue Fei Add?

Ground receives the same Ascension support:

• Ground Defense +10% at 1-Star

• Ground Defense +15% at 5-Star

That gives:

25% Ground Troop Defense

from Ascension.

How Much Mounted HP Can Yue Fei Add?

Yue Fei gains:

• Mounted HP +10% from Loyalty to the Country

• Mounted HP +10% at 1-Star

• Mounted HP +10% at 4-Star

• Mounted Troop Assault +10%

That gives:

40% Mounted Troop HP

from his developed kit.

How Much Ground HP Can Yue Fei Add?

Yue Fei gains:

• Ground HP +10% from Loyalty to the Country

• Ground HP +10% at 1-Star

• Ground HP +10% at 4-Star

That gives:

30% Ground Troop HP

from his developed kit.

Again, Mounted receives the slightly stronger complete package.

How Much Native March Size Does Yue Fei Get?

Yue Fei gains:

• March Size +14% from 3-Star Ascension

• March Size +6% from Annihilation

That gives:

20% native March Size

when fully developed.

If you add a Lv4 March Size Skill Book:

• March Size +12%

his personal contribution becomes:

32% March Size

before account-wide systems.

This is one of Yue Fei's strongest modern advantages.

Yue Fei's Enemy Mounted Debuff

Battle of Yancheng reduces:

• Enemy Mounted Troop Attack -20%

This gives Yue Fei some useful anti-Mounted utility.

It is not enough to turn him into a specialist debuff General, but it helps in Mounted-heavy PvP matchups.

Best Skill Books for Yue Fei Mounted PvP

For Mounted PvP, a strong setup is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop HP

• Lv4 March Size

This improves:

• Mounted damage

• Mounted survivability

• troop volume

Because Yue Fei's base skill does not conflict with the normal Mounted Attack Skill Book, this is a straightforward build.

Alternative Mounted Build

You can also use:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Speed

• Lv4 March Size

Use this when faster engagement is more important than extra HP.

Best Skill Books for Ground PvP

For Ground PvP, use:

• Lv4 Ground Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ground Troop HP

• Lv4 Ground Troop Speed

This improves:

• Ground damage

• Ground survivability

• engagement speed

Ground Speed is particularly useful because Ground Troops need to close distance against enemy Ranged formations.

Alternative Ground Build

Another option is:

• Lv4 Ground Troop Attack

• Lv4 Ground Troop HP

• Lv4 March Size

This can take Yue Fei's personal March Size contribution to:

32%

when fully developed.

Yue Fei for Mounted PvP

Mounted PvP is Yue Fei's strongest overall role.

His developed kit provides:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Defense

• Mounted HP

• 20% native March Size

• Enemy Mounted Attack reduction

• Troop Death into Wounded support

Mounted Troops are particularly effective against Ground-heavy enemy formations.

Yue Fei for Ground PvP

Ground PvP is also viable.

Yue Fei provides:

• Ground Attack

• Ground Defense

• Ground HP

• 20% native March Size

However, his Specialty tree gives slightly more support to Mounted Troops.

For this reason, Mounted is usually the cleaner primary build.

Yue Fei as a Hybrid Ground and Mounted General

Yue Fei's kit buffs both:

• Ground

• Mounted

This can make a hybrid build look tempting.

However, serious PvP marches usually perform better when focused around one primary troop type.

Rather than trying to build one mixed march, use Yue Fei's dual buffs as flexibility:

• Mounted build when cavalry is needed

• Ground build when Ground is needed

Do not dilute equipment and refines unnecessarily.

Yue Fei for Monster Hunting

Yue Fei can also work as a Monster Hunter.

His Mounted Attack bonuses and high March Size are useful against Boss Monsters.

A good Monster setup is:

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack Against Monster

• Lv4 Mounted Troop Attack

• Lv4 March Size

This gives him useful Monster damage.

However, dedicated Monster Generals can offer stronger:

• Monster-specific Attack

• Monster Defense reduction

• Monster HP reduction

• Double Item Drop

• stamina efficiency

Yue Fei is therefore better as a flexible backup Monster General than a specialist endgame boss hunter.

Best Assistant Generals for Yue Fei

Current TEBA data highlights:

• George Monck

• Haakon the Good

• Marco Polo

as pairing directions.

A suitable Mounted Assistant should add:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted Defense

• Mounted HP

• March Size

without disabling Loyalty to the Country.

Always confirm compatibility in-game before committing expensive resources.

Equipment and Refines

For Mounted PvP, prioritise percentage-based Mounted refines.

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 Ground PvP, switch those refines to the corresponding Ground stats.

Yue Fei for Main City Defense

Yue Fei should not normally be used as a Wall General.

Most of his important buffs require him to be:

• attacking

Dedicated Defense Generals provide much stronger:

• In-City buffs

• defensive mechanics

• enemy debuffs

• broad troop support

Use Yue Fei as a field General.

Is Yue Fei Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes, but mainly as an accessible older option.

Yue Fei still offers:

• useful Mounted Attack

• useful Ground Attack

• good March Size

• some survivability

• anti-Mounted utility

• Monster Hunting flexibility

• Tavern accessibility

However, modern Mounted and Ground Generals now offer much stronger:

• total combat buffs

• Defense and HP

• March Size

• Covenants

• Skins

• enemy debuffs

Yue Fei is therefore better suited to:

• F2P players

• low-spend players

• reserve marches

• players who already have him developed

Is Yue Fei F2P Friendly?

Yes.

Yue Fei is available from the Tavern.

Current sources list his cost at:

• 60,000,000 Gold

He can also be obtained through:

• Great General Chest

• premium packages

Tavern availability makes him realistically accessible to F2P players.

How to Obtain Yue Fei

Yue Fei can be obtained from:

• Tavern

• Great General Chest

• Premium Packages

Current sources list his Tavern cost at:

• 60,000,000 Gold

This gives F2P and low-spend players a repeatable route to obtain copies for Ascension.

Is Yue Fei Worth Ascending?

Potentially, yes.

His Ascension adds:

• Ground and Mounted Defense

• Ground and Mounted HP

• Ground and Mounted Attack

• March Size +14%

• Troop Death into Wounded +10%

The 3-Star March Size upgrade is particularly valuable.

However, Blood of Ares is expensive.

Do not heavily Ascend Yue Fei from zero if stronger modern Mounted or Ground Generals are already available to you.

Is Yue Fei Worth Specialties?

Potentially.

His Specialties add:

• Mounted Attack

• Mounted HP

• Ground Attack

• March Size

• All Troop Attack

• Enemy Mounted Attack reduction

Battle of Yancheng adds:

• Ground Attack +15%

• Mounted Attack +15%

• Enemy Mounted Attack -20%

However, Runestones are valuable.

For advanced accounts, newer Generals should usually receive priority.

Is Yue Fei Worth Investing In?

Yue Fei is worth investing in if:

• you are F2P or low-spend

• you already have him developed

• you need another Mounted march

• you need another Ground march

• you want an accessible Tavern General

• you value his 20% native March Size

• you occasionally use him for Monster Hunting

He is less attractive if:

• you already own stronger modern Mounted Generals

• you already own stronger modern Ground Generals

• you are building a fresh endgame march from zero

• Blood of Ares is limited

• Runestones are limited

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Yue Fei's old hybrid design makes him look unusual by modern standards.

His kit buffs both:

• Ground

• Mounted

but modern Evony generally rewards specialising each combat march around one troop type.

The cleanest solution is not to build a confused mixed march.

Treat Yue Fei as:

• Mounted first

• Ground second

His fully developed personal attacking kit can provide approximately:

• Mounted Attack +91%

• Mounted Defense +25%

• Mounted HP +40%

• Ground Attack +81%

• Ground Defense +25%

• Ground HP +30%

• March Size +20%

• Enemy Mounted Attack -20%

before Skill Books and equipment.

Those numbers are still useful for an accessible older General.

But they also show why modern premium Generals have overtaken him.

TEBA Verdict

Yue Fei is an accessible older Mounted PvP General with useful Ground PvP and Monster Hunting flexibility.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Ground Attack +25%

• Mounted Attack +25%

• Ground HP +10%

• Mounted HP +10%

when attacking.

His Ascension then adds:

• Ground and Mounted Attack

• Ground and Mounted Defense

• Ground and Mounted HP

• March Size +14%

• Troop Death into Wounded +10%

while his Specialties add:

• more Mounted Attack

• more Ground Attack

• Mounted HP

• March Size +6%

• All Troop Attack

• Enemy Mounted Attack -20%

His biggest strengths are:

• strong flexibility

• excellent native March Size for an older General

• straightforward Mounted build

• useful Ground secondary role

• Monster Hunting flexibility

• Tavern accessibility

His biggest weaknesses are:

• relatively modest modern combat buffs

• limited Ground and Mounted defensive ceiling

• stronger newer Generals now existing

For F2P and low-spend players, Yue Fei remains a practical reserve Mounted General in 2026.

For established accounts, he is better used as a secondary march or backup Monster General rather than a fresh endgame investment.
