You should ask yourself first though; do you want a hybrid? Generally, it is better to have a master to the unit then buy a person who can do all well enough, but not as well as someone else.
Just food for thought,
I'd get a hybrid for the usability, but the normal player may want to get a less expensive, higher output character

The only reason why i ask who is the best hybrid is because my general line up has only 4 slots and they are filled with 2 art and 2 cav generals. It's useful to have a hybrid because i don't have any navy or infantry generals. I guess infantry doesn't really matter because cavalry does its job. But for difficult navy missions, a hybrid is useful even if it doesn't have navy skills because the general still has leadership, assault and defense art. These can help a lot.

Well unfortunately no base game general, so far as I know, has both assault and defense art. Tbh, collingwood and/or Ushakov, maybe duckworth could help w/ the navy missions? Any hybrid general would cost a LOT to make a good admiral.

Hybrid general is good when the unit choices are limited, which is not so uncommon in campaigns. So if you do not buy any extra general slot, having one hybrid general can be handy. Regarding the choices, Poniatowski is a good one but do not forget about Sakurako. She is free and doing well in all type of units. Though she might look weak because of her skills but she's actually a bit less effective comparing to the specialized one. Her evasion depriving skills (Bugle, Strike, Accurate) are much more important than bonus damage skills (Formation, Surprise, Explosive) in term of damage output (refer to Erich von Manstein formula). Not to mention that there is hidden evasion in some scenario. |

Actually I think Sophia and Kutuzov could be great hybrid.

Wake me up when Davout defeats an army that's in defensive positions and 3.06x bigger than his own army. (Talking about Pultusk here)

So for me, can Sophia be my hybrid/artillery general because that spy skill is handy for all types of units.

Actually I think Sophia and Kutuzov could be great hybrid. They're hybrid, but they have that one specific skill that makes 'em really good on one unit type. That's a good thing, OFC. Lannes is kinda like that, only he has geography which isn't for inf |

Suvurov > Lannes for sure, if you consider output only. Leadership and geography isn't useful for infantry so they are not great to have for infantry generals.If lannes had a cav skill instead of mass fire, that would make him a very strong cav general, even better than lasalle or lan imo.

Leadership is good for anything. Lannes has 3 good skills everywhere |
