With the Heavenly Fire Ceremony Event, Evony has designed Sigurd, a semi-legendary Viking warrior and Danish king, into an excellent ranged-troop general. Currently, this general is only available during this event. More information about General Sigurd and how to use him can be found below.
Sigurd’s Background Story
In the icy Nordic seas stands a legendary Viking, Sigurd. With the blood of the heroic Ragnar flowing through him, and a serpent-shaped birthmark in his eye, he earned the name “Snake-in-the-Eye.”
Growing up under his family’s glory, Sigurd bore an exceptional destiny. When his brothers were slain by the Swedish king, a fire of vengeance ignited in his heart. By leading his Viking warriors, Sigurd avenged his family’s honor. His father’s fall fueled his fury, driving him like a storm across England. There, Sigurd conquered with both force and wisdom, solidifying his reign and earning a name of fear and reverence.
Sigurd’s leadership brought countless victories, and with courage and intellect, he penned an epic of family, vengeance, and conquest in the 9th-century Nordic world.

The way to obtain Sigurd
During Evony’s Heavenly Fire Ceremony, you can join the Legends of the North Sea Event to obtain General Sigurd.
During the event, you can use the Viking Serpent Pendant to recruit for items in the Prize Pool. After every 200 recruitments, you will get at least one “Song of Midgard Historic General Chest“. When you open this chest, you can select a general token for a specific general in the chest. Among them, there is a general token item exclusive to Sigurd, Historic General (Sigurd).
Prize Pool Item List:

So, how to get the Viking Serpent Pendant?
You can get the Viking Serpent Pendant from resource spots, monsters, and corresponding packages.
During the event, you can get up to 10 by gathering resources and 20 by killing monsters.
Therefore, you can only get 30 Viking Serpent Pendants for free during the entire event. If you want to get more, you need to purchase “Viking Serpent Pendant” packages.
Recommended Combinations of Sigurd
Sigurd is the best archer assistant general at the moment, I think. Because even without ascending buffs, his overall attributes are still very high.
Through experiments, among the latest archer generals, Sigurd’s special skill conflicts with the special skills of Merlin, Mihai, and Godfrey of Bouillon. So they cannot be partners.
The combinations in the table below are what I recommend. I counted the highest effective bonuses of these combinations in ranged troop attack, defense, and HP, as well as march size buffs. Different combinations have different advantages, and we can decide how to match them ourselves. I prefer to use Sigurd as assistant general because this general is difficult to get, and it may be too costly to train him into a main general. However, there is also a good solution – “Soul Binding”.
Main General | Assistant General | Ranged Troop Attack | Ranged Troop Defense | Ranged Troop HP | March Size Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ragnar | Sigurd | +325% | +225% | +225% | +22% |
Marcus Agrippa | +300% | +250% | +185% | +16% | |
Douglas | +281% | +200% | +180% | +24% | |
Sigurd | Edward III | +273% | +133% | +158% | +18% |
Sigurd | Charles XII | +288% | +148% | +143% | +28% |
Charles XII | Sigurd | +260% | +205% | +150% | +24% |
All of the above combinations can use the “Lv4 Ranged Troop Attack” Skill Book. Besides, we can use Lv4 skill books like Lv4 Ranged Troop Defense and HP, Ranged Troop Range Bonus, and March Size.
