In Evony: the King’s Return, killing monsters is an important development path. We need to obtain resources and some essential items through the rewards dropped by killing monsters. This guide sorts out the monster-killing generals in the game and compares their buff values in detail. Then, according to their skill strength and effectiveness, it gives monster-killing general combinations. Finally, it lists the ways to obtain these generals.
Monster-killing Epic Historic General (Golden Generals):
- Aethelflaed
- Caesar
- Theodora
- Baibars
- Nathanael Greene
- Maria Theresa
Some generals also have buffs against wild monsters, such as Beowulf. But overall, he is still positioned as a cavalry general. This guide does not consider this type of general.
The following attributes bonuses are mainly buffs that can affect monsters and cavalry buffs (including attacking, marching, on monsters, and wide buffs). The unit is %.

Monster-killing Historic General (Purple Generals):
In addition to gold generals, some purple generals also have good monster-killing buffs. If you haven’t had time to train gold generals, use purple generals first. Some of them have ascend functions, and some don’t.
Purple generals who can ascend:
- Cleopatra
- Spartacus
- Sanada Yukimura
Purple generals who cannot ascend:
- Hernando Cortes
- John Buford
Purple generals that can be ascended have more buffs than those that cannot be ascended.

- Baibars & Theodora
- Theodora & Cleopatra
- Theodora & Sanada Yukimura
- Aethelflaed & Caesar
- Nathanael Greene & Maria Theresa
