. If it conflicts with the main general’s basic skill
. If the main general has a specific skill book attached
Glitches currently being found
- Shajar al-Durr
- Generals who increase March Speed
- The Seleucus I, Huo Qubing, Spartacus, etc.
- When set as an assistant general, the march time is reduced on the soldier selection screen, but it is not actually reduced. If you look at the march bar in the upper left corner after departure, you will see that it has not decreased.
There may be more, so if you have any information, I would appreciate it if you could share it with me in the comments section.
Cases in which an assistant general’s basic skills are disabled
2. If the main general has a specific skill book attached.
If it conflicts with the main general’s basic skill
Basically, it seems that those with similar properties and buff values compete with each other.
However, the detailed criteria are not quite clear, so you will have to actually try it to see if it conflicts.
If the main general has a specific skill book attached
For example, in the case of a ground general, if the main general has an ground HP skill book attached, the assistant’s basic skills may be disabled. In this case, changing the main general’s ground HP to another skillbook will enable the assistant’s basic skill.
And this is quite important.
Sometimes the skill book in issue can be made effective if it is attached to an assistant instead of to the main general.
For example, if you want to attach the assistant Trajan to the main general Elise, you should attach the ground HP to Trajan instead of to Elise. This way, both Trajan’s basic skill and the ground HP skill book can be enabled. Attaching ground HP to Elise would disable Trajan’s basic skill.
Basic Skill Competitive Table for Assistant
The following is based on my own research.

Please be sure to include a link to this page when you introduce it to anyone in the community, on YouTube, etc.
- An assistant can be attached to a general on the march and to a defender.
- Only 3 of the assistant’s performance are effective: Basic skill, Skillbook, and Specialty.

- An assistant general’s basic skill and skill books are disabled if they conflict with the main general’s basic skill and skill books.
- Any of the assistant general’s basic skills or specialties whose activation condition is to attach a dragon to the assistant general are
- activated by attaching a dragon to the assistant general (tested).
- not activated by attaching a dragon to the main general (tested).
The description of the assistant in the game states that “Assistant Generals still need to equip dragon to activate corresponding buffs”.
However, even if I attach a dragon to an assistant, the assistant’s dragon icon is grayed out. This makes it hard to tell if it is really triggered or not.
Therefore, I did the following test.
Test date: 7/4/2022 / ver 4.26.2
I attacked NPC subordinate citiy and checked the buff value in the battle report.
Main Gen | Assistant (Minamoto) | |
---|---|---|
Basic Skill | None | Basic buff +25% Requires dragon +15% Total +40% |
Skill book | None | None |
Specialty | None | Basic buff +12% |
- Stats buff: +23%.
- Refine buff: +20%.
- Total: +43%.
* The stats buff is 20% of the dragon’s attack stats. Alternatively, it can be calculated by removing the dragon and taking the difference between the attack values on the general’s cultivation screen.
Main General’s Dragon: None
- Assistant General’s Dragon
- With: +611%
- Without: +596%
The difference is 15%. This is consistent with Minamoto no Yoshitsune’s figures for the buffs required by the dragon.
Assistant General’s Dragon: None
- Main General’s Dragon
- With: +639%
- Without: +596%
Difference 43%. Matches the buff value by dragon. Minamoto Yoshitsune’s buffs requiring a dragon did not add up.
Therefore, any of the assistant’s basic skills or specialties that are activated by attaching a dragon to the assistant are activated by attaching a dragon to an assistant general. They are not activated by attaching a dragon to the main general.
