Total War Warhammer How To Play Chaos
My personal favorite army from the tabletop game, Warriors of Chaos in Total War: Warhammer are a very strong melee infantry faction with cost-effective skirmish cavalry, some potent monstrous units, and a focused selection of magical troublemakers. There Is Only War: Playing Total Warhammer As The Chaos Warriors. Play like a boxer rather than a piledrivin’ demon straight out of hell and set yourself up by aiming a few jabs at the body and bonce of your opponents before going for the knockout punch. It seems a little odd to play Archaon the Everchosen, Lord of the End Times. Total War: Warhammer is one of the biggest and best strategy games of the year. With giants, dragons, wizards, and all manner of other wild creatures, it is also the most tactically diverse of the series. As such, it can be extremely challenging. This guide is designed for players who are new to the.
The Chaos faction is home to all sorts of terrifying beasts, but have the potential power of Kholek Suneater, one of three Legendary Lords for the most evil army available in Total War: Warhammer. This enormous half-ogre, half-dragon is a melee master, able to soak up damage and wipe out entire retinues of opponents. He’s a morale-breaking, nigh unkillable creature — or he can be, if you follow this set of skill tree selections.
Early adopters get the Chaos Faction for free on the first week, but the rest of us will have to purchase the army as separate DLC not included with the base game. Without the faction pack you’ll still have to contend with the army in campaign, and what a campaign it is — just check out the Gameranx Total War: Warhammer review to see how it improves the Total War formula.
Kholek Suneater Chaos Lord Overpowered Build Guide
At the start of your Chaos Faction campaign, you’ll have the option to choose one of three Legendary Lords. All three are good choices at any difficulty level, but if you want to survive the campaign on Legendary you’ll want to remove magic from the equation. Magic’s effectiveness changes every turn, and the RNG can help or hinder you depending on how your Winds of Magic rolls play out.
Kholek Suneater is a powerhouse melee monster. With the right skills, he can wade into the center of a battle and hold the line while your cavalry and flankers mop up the bloody remnants.
How to Farm XP and Level-Up Kholek Early:
It can take time earning the skills listed in the section below. Before you start unlocking abilities and getting levels, check out this easy strategy that makes gaining levels easy and relatively safe even on Legendary.
- Start the campaign by sacking the closest camp.
- Awaken the Tribe and continue your march toward Frozen Landing.
- Encamp outside Frozen Landing.
- Sack Frozen Landing.
- Repeat Step 4 and sent Kholek into the frontlines every time to ensure he levels up.
- Continue to sack Frozen Landing until it becomes impossible.
While you’re sacking Frozen Landing over and over, try to unlock the Dragon Ogres unit, even if it means skipping other types. Kholek, being a Dragon Ogre, needs some extra friends to make combat easier.
