• Cost
  • 970
• Notes:
  • Monster
  • Wizard and Priest
• Max wound output:
  • 30
• Average wound output:
  • 11
• Thoughts:
  • Good at taking out high armour elite units and heroes.
• The Good
  • Knows all the spells. Very good wizard. Cast Arcane Bolt multiple times.
  • Can hit hard and take a hit
  • Board wide army buffs and unit healing.
• The Bad
  • Self healing is a bit hard
  • Half your army in points
• Thoughts
  • Very good unit. Can win games all by himself.
  • Some very good buffs for your army. Rerolling 1 and no battleshock.
  • SOOO many points.
  • Can be one shot off the board, if you are not careful.
  • All your eggs in one basket.
  • Cost comparsion
    • Archaon is 140 less
    • Morathi 310 less
    • Teclis 230 less
    • Kroak 540 less
• Hand of Dust
  • A
    • Best troll spell in the game.
    • Short range, use Spell Portal to increase threat.
• Soul Stealer
  • B
    • Lots of high bravery units in the “10”. Hard to get this spell to work in some matchups.
    • Against low Bravery units it is great.
    • Look for ways to debuff them first.
• Unit Rating
  • A “without considering points cost”
  • B “when looking at points”

Mannfred

 

• Cost
  • 380
• Notes:
  • Legion of Night Keyword
  • Vampire
  • Mortarch
• Max wound output:
  • 34
• Average Wound output:
  • 9
• The Good
  • Can select from both spell lores
  • Good balance of hitting power, survivability, and utility.
  • Fast at full health.
• The Bad
  • Becomes very slow when wounded
  • Jack of all trades master of none
• Thoughts
  • 380 is a good bit of points for any unit but worth it if you build around his abilites
  • Can be tanky with healing and armour of templehof. Plus the safety net of Mortarch of the night
  • Very good unit buff mechanics. Put him in the middle of a pack of skeletons or zombies
  • Think about all the debuffs he can dish out with lore of deathmages.
  • I think between his buff, debuff, and combat ability he is an all around solid choice for a leader
  • Watch out for shooting. Pick and choose his fights.
• Winds of death
  • • A
      • Average casting cost.
      • Need 3+ for each unit
      • Could really hurt some armies with lots of squishy heroes
      • Can cover a large area of the board if you pick a big unit.
• Unit Rating
  • • • -A

Damage Table:

 

Neferata

• Cost
  • 365
• Notes:
  • Legion of Blood
  • Vampire
  • Mortarch
• Max wound output:
  • 27
• Average Wound output:
  • 8
• The Good
  • Can select from both spell lores
  • Good balance of hitting power, survivability, and utility.
  • Fast at full health.
  • Command Ability
  • Dagger of Jet is nasty
• The Bad
  • Becomes very slow when wounded
  • Jack of all trades master of none
• Thoughts
  • 365 is a good points cost for this unit. She adds great utility to the army and can potentially one shot big heroes with Dagger of Jet.
  • Pick and choose her battles.
  • Good warscroll spell and command ability.
  • Legion of Blood wants you to run Deathrattle – use Grave Guard. Then use her spells and abilities to make them very very tanky.
  • Dark Mist
    • A+
      • Average casting cost.
      • Wholly within 12
      • Blood Knights or VLOZD supper tanky
