Target Akechi Mitsuhide in Evony update 5.24.0 if you need a specialized lead general for a Ground-focused PvP march against Ranged-heavy defensive keeps. If you already maintain a fully ascended, maxed Ground general such as Matsunaga Hisahide, keep your current leader until you collect enough duplicate shards and materials to ascend Akechi Mitsuhide to a comparable tier.
Roster Comparison and Investment Thresholds
Akechi Mitsuhide provides balanced percentage increases across Ground Attack, Defense, and HP. Unlike legacy options that specialize in a single defensive stat, his scaling relies on ascension to deliver high-tier stat efficiency in Server vs. Server (SvS) combat.
| Account Status | Primary Action | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| New or Mid-Tier Ground March | Prioritize recruiting and ascending Akechi Mitsuhide. | Save speed-ups and gems for his recruitment event. |
| Maxed Legacy Ground General | Retain existing main general; build Akechi as a secondary target. | Acquire base shards without committing immediate ascension materials. |
| Ranged or Mounted Focus | Delay investment until core military tech and primary marches are complete. | Preserve general shards and refining stones for main army types. |
Build Setup and Deployment Priorities
To maximize Akechi Mitsuhide's combat output when deploying him as your primary Ground general, structure his setup to emphasize Ground stat stacking and team synergy.
- Equip Ground-Focused Gear: Craft and refine Civilization Gear that prioritizes percentage boosts to Ground Attack and Ground HP.
- Assign Compatible Skill Books: Apply skill books that add direct Ground Attack, Ground HP, and Ground Defense to stack with his base skills.
- Select a Complementary Assistant General: Pair Akechi with an assistant general who provides March Size increases or enemy Ranged Attack debuffs. Confirm that the assistant's passive skills do not conflict with Akechi's main skill conditions.
