Evony: How to Unlock Advanced Spiritual Beasts and Premium Companions

To unlock advanced spiritual beasts and recruit formerly paid companions in Evony without spending money, save and convert your event currencies exclusively through seasonal event stores and festival exchange shops. Non-spending monarchs should bypass short-term consumables and standard beast summons, pooling their tokens until they can purchase dedicated beast seals or companion favor items directly.

Unlocking Advanced Spiritual Beasts via Seasonal Events

Standard pasture management relies on spending 400 Spiritual Beast Scales to unlock foundational beasts like the Thunder Scorpion, Behemoth King, or Bird of Hurricane. These entry-level beasts provide basic percentage stat increases to individual troop categories. Advanced spiritual beasts offer layered enhancements, including increased march size capacity, broader offensive multipliers, and enemy troop debuffs.

Free-to-play monarchs operating single accounts should avoid spending rare universal currencies on lower-tier beasts once primary march generals have baseline companions assigned. Instead, focus entirely on seasonal exchange events and weekly store rotations offering specialized beast seals and fragments. Concentrating your accumulated tokens on a single advanced beast creates an immediate combat surge for your primary march rather than dividing minor stat gains across secondary generals.

Acquiring Premium Palace Companions Without Purchases

Companions housed in the Palace provide permanent, account-wide passive boosts that remain safe from enemy capture and combat injuries. While entry-level companions such as Helen unlock through normal Keep upgrades, premium companions were previously restricted to direct cash packs. Non-spending players can now acquire these companions through festival milestone chests, event reward ladders, and exchange shops offering favor tokens or unlock scrolls.

Recruiting a premium companion delivers persistent infrastructure and military upgrades. Depending on the companion unlocked, your Keep gains global benefits such as:

• Increased hospital capacity
• Reduced research completion times
• Troop training cost discounts
• Persistent offensive combat buffs active during rallies and Keep defense

Because these economic and military bonuses apply account-wide, unlocking a premium companion delivers stronger compound value over the lifespan of an account than temporary speedups.

Event Token and Resource Priority

Free-to-play progression requires allocating limited event tokens into permanent account upgrades rather than consumable items that deplete during normal build cycles.

Before spending in an active event shop, calculate the total currency required to secure the target beast seal or companion unlock scroll. If your token balance falls short of the milestone, save universal currencies that carry over across cycles, or run high-level boss rallies with your alliance to close the scoring gap before the shop closes.

Assigning Beasts and Balancing Daily Progression

Assign an advanced spiritual beast to the main general driving your primary combat preset. Match the beast's bonuses to your army's core troop archetype:

• Mounted Marches: Pair with beasts boosting mounted attack and march speed to accelerate boss hunting and reduce rally casualties.
• Ranged or Defensive Setups: Pair with beasts boosting ranged attack and applying enemy ground troop debuffs to strengthen Keep defense.

Maintaining steady account growth requires balancing beast experience with companion intimacy. Slay boss monsters and clear pasture training sessions daily to gather beast experience items, then visit the Palace to provide correct dialogue responses and specialized gifts to your companions. Advancing both systems simultaneously ensures your combat marches scale in power while your Keep maintains low production costs.
