For the 2026 Midsummer events, Evony introduces Shaybani, a new mounted troop general built around rally capacity and mounted attack. This guide covers his background, attributes, recruitment options, strengths, and best pairings.

Shaybani's General Story

Shaybani, of the Jochid line and the Golden Lineage, descended from Jochi, Genghis Khan's eldest son. After the Timurid Empire declined, Transoxiana fell into rivalries. Using his noble blood and political acumen, Shaybani led the Uzbeks to conquer the region.

The Battle of Sar-e Pul marked Shaybani’s decisive victory over the Timurids. In 1501, after Babur retook Samarkand, he marched against Shaybani, who was rebuilding his forces in Bukhara. Near Sar-e Pul, Babur relied on the river to secure his flanks, but Shaybani held the advantage in numbers and cavalry. Rather than forcing a frontal battle, the Uzbeks used horse-archer tactics and a sweeping flank attack to surround their enemy. When Shaybani’s right wing struck Babur’s rear, the Timurid army collapsed. Babur lost his finest troops, ending any hope of restoring Timurid rule in Transoxiana and launching Shaybani’s rise to power.

After securing Transoxiana, Shaybani turned his attention to building a lasting realm. He restored irrigation systems, stabilized the economy through currency reform, and revived cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand. Under his rule, the foundations of a new empire were laid.

Shaybani left an indelible mark on history. The Bukhara Khanate endured in Central Asia for nearly three centuries, marking the region’s shift from the Timurid to the Uzbek Period. The rivalry between the Safavids and Uzbeks redrew Central Asia’s borders, a legacy that persists today.
