Zucca Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Zucca Evony Guide 2026

Zucca is a specialist Siege Machine PvP General in Evony: The King's Return.

He is best suited to:

• Siege PvP

• city attacks

• Siege rallies

• mixed Siege and Ranged marches

• high-capacity offensive marches

His biggest strengths are:

• strong Siege Machine Attack

• excellent Siege HP

• useful Ranged HP support

• strong March Size

• good late-game Siege scaling

• strong compatibility with modern Siege Assistants

Zucca should primarily be built as an attacking Siege General.

Is Zucca Good in Evony?

Yes.

Zucca is a strong Siege PvP General because his Special Skill provides:

• Siege Machine Attack +40%

• Ranged Troop HP +35%

• Siege Machine HP +35%

when he is leading the army to attack.

That gives him a very strong mix of:

• Siege damage

• Siege survivability

• useful Ranged survivability support

His main limitation is that his strongest base buffs are attack-only.

Zucca Best Role

Best Role: Siege PvP

Also Good For: Mixed Siege/Ranged PvP and Siege Rallies

Avoid Using For: Passive Main City Defense or Monster Hunting

Zucca should primarily be built around Siege Machines.

His Ranged support is useful, but Siege is clearly his main troop type.

Zucca Special Skill

Zucca's Special Skill is:

Supreme Power

Increases Siege Machines' Attack by 40% and increases Ranged Troops' and Siege Machines' HP by 35% when General is leading the army to attack.

The important condition is:

when leading the army to attack.

That makes Zucca a dedicated offensive General.

Zucca Ascension

Ascending Zucca significantly improves his Siege performance.

1 Star

• Marching Ranged Troop Defense +10%

• Marching Siege Machine Defense +10%

• Marching Ranged Troop HP +10%

• Marching Siege Machine HP +10%

This gives his mixed Ranged/Siege march more survivability.

2 Stars

• Marching Troop Death into Wounded Rate +10%

This is useful in PvP because it reduces permanent troop losses during attacks.

3 Stars

• March Size Capacity +14%

This is one of Zucca's most valuable Ascension upgrades.

A 14% native March Size increase is significant for Siege PvP.

4 Stars

• Marching Ranged Troop Attack +15%

• Marching Siege Machine Attack +15%

• Marching Siege Machine Defense +15%

This strengthens both his main Siege damage and his mixed Ranged support.

5 Stars

• Marching Siege Machine Attack +20%

• Marching Siege Machine Defense +30%

The fifth star adds another strong block of Siege-specific combat power.

Zucca Specialties

Zucca has four Siege-focused Specialties.

Siege Machine Assault

• Siege Machine Attack +10%

• Siege Machine HP +10%

Siege

• March Size Capacity +6%

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +10%

• Attacking Ranged Troop Attack +10%

Siege Machine Ares

• Siege Machine Attack +10%

• Siege Machine HP +10%

• Siege Machine Defense +10%

Golden Throne

• Attacking Siege Machine Attack +30%

• Attacking Ranged Troop Attack +30%

• Marching Siege Machine Defense +25%

Golden Throne is the standout Specialty.

It adds another large offensive boost while also improving Siege survivability.

Best Skill Books for Zucca

Zucca works very well with the standard Siege PvP setup.

A strong build is:

• Lv4 Siege Machine Attack

• Lv4 Siege Machine Range Bonus

• Lv4 March Size

This gives him:

• more Siege damage

• longer engagement range

• more troops per march

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

Why Siege Range Matters

Siege Machine Range Bonus is extremely important in Siege PvP.

Siege Machines rely heavily on attacking from long range.

Increasing range can help your Siege begin dealing damage earlier in the battle.

For that reason, Siege Machine Range Bonus is usually one of the highest-value Skill Books for a dedicated Siege march.

Best Assistant Generals for Zucca

Current TEBA pairing data includes:

• Christina (Awakened)

• Theobald I

• Stephen II

These are strong Siege-focused partners where compatibility remains active.

The best Assistant should ideally add:

• Siege Machine Attack

• Siege Machine HP

• Siege Machine Defense

• March Size

• Ranged support

• useful attacking buffs

without disabling Supreme Power.

Always test the exact pairing in-game before committing premium resources.

Zucca + Christina

Christina is a powerful modern Siege partner.

Her kit adds substantial Siege combat stats and can raise the offensive ceiling of Zucca's march significantly.

Zucca + Theobald I

Theobald I is another strong offensive Siege option.

He adds large Siege Attack and useful survivability, making him a natural partner for a dedicated Siege march.

Zucca + Stephen II

Stephen II is also a strong Siege partner.

He can add further Siege Attack, Defense and HP while preserving Zucca's offensive focus.

Equipment and Refines

For Siege PvP, prioritise percentage-based Siege refines.

A standard setup is:

Axe

• Siege Machine Attack % x4

Ring

• Siege Machine Attack % x4

Armor

• Siege Machine Defense % x4

Boots

• Siege Machine Defense % x4

Helmet

• Siege Machine HP % x4

Leg Armor

• Siege Machine HP % x4

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

Zucca for Siege PvP

Siege PvP is Zucca's main role.

His kit provides:

• strong Siege Attack

• high Siege HP

• solid Siege Defense

• very good March Size

• strong Specialty scaling

• mixed Ranged support

Siege Machines are powerful because of their long attack range.

However, Siege marches are expensive and unforgiving.

Poorly matched or poorly layered Siege attacks can result in enormous resource and troop losses.

Use scouting and matchup knowledge before committing.

Zucca and Ranged Troops

Zucca provides meaningful Ranged support.

His Special Skill gives:

• Ranged Troop HP +35%

His Ascension adds:

• Ranged Defense

• Ranged HP

• Ranged Attack

His Siege and Golden Throne Specialties also add:

• Attacking Ranged Troop Attack

That makes mixed Ranged/Siege formations viable.

However, he should not be treated as a pure Ranged General.

Siege remains his primary troop type.

How Much March Size Does Zucca Get?

Zucca gains:

• March Size +14% from 3-Star Ascension

• March Size +6% from the Siege Specialty

That gives him:

20% March Size

before a March Size Skill Book or other account systems are added.

This is one of Zucca's strongest built-in advantages.

If you also use the Lv4 March Size Skill Book, his personal march-capacity contribution becomes even stronger.

Zucca for Siege Rallies

Zucca can also work well in Siege rallies.

His high March Size and strong Siege Attack allow him to lead large offensive formations.

However, Siege rallies require:

• strong rally capacity

• highly developed Siege buffs

• suitable participants

• good debuffs

• correct troop composition

• careful target selection

Zucca is the General leading the march, but the surrounding account development still matters enormously.

Zucca on Defense

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

The reason is simple:

Supreme Power requires him to be attacking.

That means his:

• Siege Attack +40%

• Ranged HP +35%

• Siege HP +35%

from the base Special Skill are designed for offensive combat.

Use a dedicated Wall General for city defense.

Is Zucca Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes, although he is now better viewed as a strong established Siege option rather than the absolute latest premium Siege General.

Newer Siege Generals can reach higher theoretical ceilings.

However, Zucca remains useful because:

• his base Siege Attack is strong

• his Siege HP is excellent

• he has 20% native March Size from Ascension and Specialties

• he supports Ranged Troops

• he works with several strong modern Siege Assistants

• his existing investment can still deliver good value

For players who already have him developed, he remains very usable.

[H2] Is Zucca Worth Ascending?

Yes, if Siege is one of your main PvP troop types.

His Ascension adds:

• Siege Attack

• Siege Defense

• Siege HP

• Ranged support

• Death into Wounded Rate

• a massive 14% March Size increase

The third, fourth and fifth stars are especially important.

The third star alone is a major upgrade because March Size directly increases the number of Siege Machines in the march.

Is Zucca Worth Investing In?

Zucca is worth investing in if:

• Siege PvP is one of your main combat styles

• you already own or have partly developed him

• you can realistically Ascend him

• you have strong Siege equipment and refines

• you have a compatible modern Siege Assistant

• your account can afford the resource cost of serious Siege PvP

He is less attractive if:

• you are starting from zero with access to newer premium Siege Generals

• your Siege research is weak

• you cannot Ascend him meaningfully

• you do not have the resources to rebuild expensive Siege losses

• your premium resources are needed elsewhere

How to Obtain Zucca

Zucca is not normally available from the Tavern.

He is primarily a premium General obtained through packs and premium General acquisition systems.

Availability can rotate through events and premium General items.

Always check current acquisition options before committing resources.

TEBA Verdict

Zucca is a strong offensive Siege PvP General.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Siege Attack +40%

• Ranged HP +35%

• Siege HP +35%

when attacking.

His Ascension then adds:

• more Siege Attack

• more Siege Defense

• more Siege HP

• Ranged support

• Death into Wounded Rate

• March Size +14%

and his Specialties add another:

• March Size +6%

• substantial Siege Attack

• substantial Siege survivability

That gives Zucca 20% native March Size from Ascension and Specialties alone.

His biggest strength is straightforward:

he is built to lead large, hard-hitting Siege marches.

For players who already own and have developed him, Zucca remains a very capable Siege PvP General in 2026.

For players starting from zero, compare him against newer premium Siege options before investing heavily.
