General Raimondo is a powerful General in Evony, but you should only use him as the main General for Siege PvP attacks.
Evony: The King’s Return is an adventurous video game which invites players to assume the role of a lord or lady during medieval times.
It is your responsibility to expand your kingdom by completing quests, defeating bosses on the world map, harvesting resources and participating in numerous events.
General Raimondo
To help you with these tasks, you can recruit a variety of Generals. The game’s developer releases new Generals o regular basis to ensure that the game does not become tedious.
The developer recently announced that players can acquire a new General, Raimondo.
Raimondo was an Austrian field marshal in the 17th century. He is known as the savior of Europe for successfully preventing the invasion of the Turkish army.
To acquire this General, players must participate in the Historic General Summoning event.
During this event, you have to use Epic Historic General (Glory) to summon an Epic Historic General. If you do not summon Raimondo after summoning 5 times, he is guaranteed within the next summons.
However, while the event is active, the chances of summoning Raimondo are increased by 600%, which means that there is a big chance that you will acquire him by participating in the event.
That being said, there is a chance that you will summon a random General listed in the Reward List.
In addition to Raimondo, there are approximately 28 other Generals that you can summon by participating in the Historic General Summoning event.

Raimondo has various skills you can use on the battlefield. The following table lists Raimondo’s abilities:

If you want to use his special skill, you should ensure that you select Raimondo while selecting your troops before marching to a boss, another player or a resource tile.
