Total War Warhammer 3 just released a new trailer that introduced Slaanesh legendary lord, N’Kari. The Slaanesh is said to be dedicated to the pursuit of excess, gratification, hedonism, pain, and perfection at the expense of any other soul.
Check out the new trailer below:
N’Kari, the Arch-Temptor, scours the immortal and mortal realms to experience the ultimate sensation and taste ecstasy in its purest form.
On the battlefield, he is an extremely fast and vicious Exalted Daemon that excels at hunting isolated enemy characters and units. His unique passive ability, Harvester of Souls, heals him whenever an enemy unit has been fully killed nearby, whilst his Willing Prey ability significantly reduces enemy melee defence and attack, leaving them vulnerable to a quick and agonising death.
As for the Slaanesh playstyle, the Slaaneshi Daemons have unparalleled speed and armor-piercing abilities. The Daemons look to sow discontent among the enemy ranks through their hit and run tactics, followed by isolation units and dealing a quick final blow.
On the campaign map, factions of Slaanesh strive to spread the Dark Prince’s hedonistic message at every turn. Their mechanics include:
- Gifts of Slaanesh: Lords and Heroes of Slaanesh can impart gifts on enemy characters by defeating them in battle or through hero actions, thus imposing a bundle of negative effects on the unit.
- Seduction: By increasing seductive influence, the forces of Slaanesh can forcibly vassalise a target faction.
- Devotees: Slaaneshi armies can capture Devotees from battles, from Chaos cults, and through other acts. Devotees are used for creating cults, the raising of Disciple Armies, and to create
The roster of the Slaanesh features the imperious Keepers of Secrets and the Herald of Slaanesh that command this sinister army. The core of the faction is formed around cunning and deadly units such as Daemonettes and Fiends, leaving the agile Heartseekers and Hellstriders to provide lightning-quick cavalry support.
