Tachibana Dosetsu, a legendary Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period, was revered as the wisest of the Otomo retainers. In Evony, he arrives as an Epic Historic Duty General specialized for the Trap Factory. Joining the ranks of elite officers like Askia Muhammad I and Otto the Great, Dosetsu brings a unique tactical edge to the city. This guide breaks down his strengths, attributes, and how he compares to other top-tier candidates.
The Lore: The Military God of Kyushu
In 1585, amidst the smoke-filled region of Korasan, Tachibana Dosetsu and his forces lay in wait within the dense forests, prepared to strike a decisive blow against the Ryūzōji army. Despite the enemy’s attempts to dominate the battlefield with fire, Dosetsu turned the haze to his advantage, using the smoke as cover for a brilliant feint.
He dispatched a detachment to engage the enemy before feigning a retreat, successfully drawing the Ryūzōji army into a deep encirclement. As the trap snapped shut, Dosetsu’s hidden forest reserves launched a devastating ambush, scattering the Ryūzōji forces in a total rout. This victory cemented his reputation as one of the bravest and most astute commanders of the Ōtomo clan.

Strategic Comparison & Conclusion
Based on the attribute analysis, we can categorize these three Trap Factory Officers by their tactical utility:
Tachibana Dosetsu: The Offensive Specialist
Tachibana Dosetsu is engineered for players who prioritize aggressive warfare.
- Offensive Focus: His primary strengths lie in boosting offensive Ranged and Siege Machine stats while providing a valuable bonus to Rally Capacity.
- Superior Debuffs: He excels at neutralizing enemy defenses, specifically targeting the attack power of enemy defensive Ranged and Siege units.
- Sustainability: Dosetsu offers the highest Siege Repair Cost reduction among the three, though he provides the most modest bonus to trap construction speed.
Otto the Great: The Defensive Powerhouse
Otto the Great is the premier choice for City Defense and in-city combat.
- In-City Buffs: He provides a massive boost to in-city Siege Machine Attack (up to 80%).
- Balanced Debuffs: Unlike the others, Otto features a unique debuff that reduces enemy Defense and HP. While his Ranged/Siege debuffs are not as potent as Dosetsu’s, they offer broader coverage.
- Logistics: He excels in city maintenance, offering the best bonus to Damaged Siege Machine Capacity and a superior trap construction speed compared to Dosetsu.
Askia Muhammad I: The Development Expert
Askia Muhammad I is focused almost entirely on City Infrastructure and defensive sustainability.
- Production King: His standout feature is a significant boost to Trap Building Speed (up to 120%), the highest of the group.
- Internal Defense: Lacking offensive debuffs, his military bonuses focus on the Defense and HP of in-city Ground and Mounted troops, rather than pure Siege firepower.
- Versatile Mid-Tier: His stats for siege repair and damaged capacity represent a balanced middle ground between the other two officers.
Final Recommendations
To optimize your City Officer lineup, choose your general based on your current stage of progression:
- Early Game (Development Phase): Use Askia Muhammad I. At this stage, your priority is rapidly building traps and establishing your city’s foundation without heavy PvP involvement.
- Mid Game (Balanced Growth): Transition to Otto the Great. As you begin to engage in more frequent warfare, you will need a balance of fast development and a strong in-city defensive presence.
- End Game (Offensive Dominance): Deploy Tachibana Dosetsu. When your gameplay focuses on leading rallies and crushing enemy castles, his offensive buffs and enemy debuffs make him the undisputed best-in-slot officer.
