Get ready for the upcoming DLC, Shadows of Change, which introduces new Legendary Lords and units for three factions in Total War: Warhammer 3. Explore the evolving fantasy world with Grand Cathay, Kislev, and Tzeentch as they bring unique mechanics and thrilling battles to the game.
Kislev’s Mother Ostankya: A Powerful Witch in the Woods
Meet Mother Ostankya, the new Legendary Lord for Kislev. This hag witch brings a whole new level of power to the faction with her hexes and incantations. Command ferocious Things in the Woods and stealthy Akshina Rangers to dominate the battlefield. Kislev’s defensive strategies are now more flexible than ever.
Tzeentch’s Changeling and Terrifying Beasts
Join the forces of Tzeentch with the Changeling, who can transform into any other Lord during battles. Unleash the power of the Cockatrice and Mutalith Vortex Beast to debuff enemies and cause chaos on the battlefield. While the Tzaangors may not be as useful, the Zhangu War Drum is a game-changer, buffing nearby units and holding its own in close-quarters combat.
Cathay’s Yuan Bo: A Master of Diplomacy and Magic
Lead Cathay with Yuan Bo, a skilled diplomat, spymaster, wizard, and swordsman. Use his Matters of State ability to grant buffs to your cities and provinces. While not as innovative as the other Lords, Yuan Bo’s power is undeniable. However, Deathmaster Snikch already has a similar mechanic with his Shadowy Dealings.
Conclusion: An Uneven DLC with Some Standout Features
Shadows of Change brings new units and mechanics to Total War: Warhammer 3, but it falls short of the previous DLCs in terms of evolution. While Mother Ostankya shines with her flexibility and thematic objectives, the Changeling’s strategy feels erratic, and Yuan Bo’s abilities are less inspired. Despite its flaws, the DLC still offers powerful Lords and exciting battles that fans will enjoy.
