In Evony: The King’s Return, the primary equipment sets featuring native debuff attributes are the Achaemenid and Parthian sets. These specialized pieces can be crafted or upgraded within the Forge.
General equipment in Evony consists of six distinct slots: Helmet, Armor, Leg Armor, Boots, Ring, and Weapon (categorized as Bow, Spear, Axe, or Sword). Each piece within a specific set offers unique base attributes tailored to different combat scenarios.
Strategic synergy between gear and General types is vital for maximizing debuff potential. This guide identifies the best debuff equipment for each General and provides a roadmap for obtaining them.
