Evony Blazons Guide 2025: Complete Beginner Tutorial – Unlock Massive Buffs for K50 Trap Keeps
The Evony K50 update (October 24, 2025) demands every edge—Tier 17 troops and Wisdom Dome grinds mean skimping on buffs is suicide. But if you're like me (Favian from Empire Build Academy) and have ZERO Blazons set up on your K39 trap keep, you're missing +15-25% attack/def/HP spikes per troop type. In this ultimate beginner guide, we break down Blazons from scratch: Types, sets, filtering for attack/defense, upgrading pitfalls, and F2P strategies to stack them fast. Trap keepers, rejoice—these percentage buffs shine on low-tier meat walls. Let's fix my mess and buff your empire!
What Are Blazons in Evony? The Buff Basics You Can't Ignore
Blazons are equippable items for your troops—6 slots per type (mounted, ground, ranged, siege)—delivering basic attributes (+% attack/HP/def), set bonuses (full 6-piece combos), and random unlocks at Lv. 10/15/20. Two variants per troop: Attack-focused (e.g., Justice Earth) or Defense-focused (e.g., Sacrifice Earth).
Basic Attributes: Fixed perks like +7.6% defending ground HP—starred ones unlock progressively.
Set Buffs: Red-highlighted—e.g., 6 Justice Earth pieces = +10% attacking ground attack/def/HP.
Additional Buffs: RNG at milestones—could be gold (+attack) or trash (+load). Padlock keepers to avoid wasting.
Post-K50, Blazons counter T17 rushes—stack with Mastery trees for 2,500%+ totals. My trap keep? Zero setup = "incredible" missed buffs. Time to grind!
Evony Blazon Types: Attack vs. Defense Sets Explained
8 total sets (2 per troop type)—pick based on playstyle. Attack sets (Justice, Valor, Honor, Honesty) for rallies; Defense (Sacrifice, Compassion, Soul, Humility) for walls. Monsters? Soul sets.
Ground | Justice Earth | Sacrifice Earth | -20% Enemy Range Attack (Attack); +15% Defending Ground HP (Defense)
Ranged | Valor Shadow | Compassion Shadow | -20% Enemy Ground Def (Attack); +15% Defending Ranged HP (Defense)
Mounted | Honor Wind | Humility Wind | +10% Attacking Mounted Attack (Attack); -25% Enemy Siege Attack (Defense)
Siege | Honesty Fire | Soul Fire | +10% Rally Siege HP (Attack); +15% Defending Siege Def (Defense)
Favian's Fix: Trap keeps = Defense sets only—mixing wastes slots.
How to Choose & Filter Blazons: Quick Setup for Beginners
Access via Blazon menu—presets for troops (VIP-dependent). Change/Upgrade/Remove at bottom; padlock protects keepers.
Step-by-Step Filtering (Attack Example – Ranged)
Enter Slot: Click empty slot → Change.
Blazon Filters (Top Menu):
Set Type: Valor (Attack) or Compassion (Defense).
Effective Condition: "Attacking" for offense; "Defending" for walls.
Confirm—narrows to matching basics (e.g., +Attacking Ranged Attack).
Scan List: Prioritize 2x matching attributes (e.g., Attacking Ranged Attack x2). RNG? Restart.
Padlock: Lock after slotting—prevents upgrade fodder use.
Demo: My ranged Valor setup? All attack—useless for traps. Filtered to Compassion: Snagged +Defending Ranged HP x2. Ground? Sacrifice Earth for -25% enemy range attack (set bonus).
Pro Tip: Monsters? Soul sets. No perfect doubles? Settle for In-Rally/Reinforcing—scales with alliances.
Upgrading Blazons: Lv. 10/15/20 RNG & Restart Strategy
Upgrades use Blazon Cores (Sulis Wishing Pool/packs—grind dailies). Auto-select fodder (non-padlocked).
Process: Lv. 1→10 unlocks first additional buff (RNG: +Attack or +Load?).
Decision Point: Post-Lv. 10, check new attribute—if trash (e.g., Ground Load x2 on my old setup), restart. Cores are scarce—don't waste.
My Mistake: Took bad ones to Lv. 15—useless monster HP on defense slots.
Favian's Plan: Lv. 10 all 6 slots → Evaluate → Keep 3-4 winners to Lv. 20 (+3rd buff). Traps: Defense RNG favors HP/def—low-tier % still adds up.
Blazons for Trap Keeps: Why Defense Sets Win (Even If % Sucks on T1)
As a T1 trapper (1.7B power, no high-tiers), % buffs underperform vs. flats—but set debuffs (-25% enemy attack) soak K45+ solos. My pre-guide mess? Attack sets on defense slots—total waste.
Trap Focus: Sacrifice/Compassion—prioritize Defending HP/Def x2.
Pivot?: If T1 flops vs. T17, hybrid to T1 defense—Blazons scale better on T10+.
F2P Grind: Dailies for cores; Sulis for drops. Full defense set = +15% HP—survive 2-3 hits.
Test: My revamp—Sacrifice Earth x6 for ground (-25% enemy range def). Mounted? Humility Wind (no pure defense—attack or monsters only?).
F2P Tips: Farm Cores & Avoid My Blazon Blunders
Core Sources: Sulis Wishing Pool (rare drops), bi-weekly packs, minimal dailies—hoard 200/week.
Preset Hack: 1 defense preset—swap for monsters if farming.
RNG Reset: Lv. 10 trash? Ditch—cores > sunk cost.
Meta Stack: Pair with Wisdom Dome (+HP) for 2,000%+ totals.
Blazons = long-game gold—my zero-start? Now +15% set buffs. Yours?
Wrap-Up: Level Up Your Blazons – Attack, Defense, or Restart?
Blazons aren't flashy, but skipping = buff black hole. Filter smart, RNG wisely, and trap stronger. My K50 test: Defense sets vs. K46s—live streams incoming!
