Total War Warhammer 2 Faction Tier List: What You Need to Know Before Starting a New Campaign



Kislev adopt a hybrid approach to unit types, with a wide range of melee, missile, spellcasting, and cavalry units at their disposal. This lets you create a versatile strategy in combat that can adapt to a wide range of situations. However, it also means Kislev are masters of nothing, leaving them open to the more specialised and bloodthirsty factions, such as Khorne and the Legion of Chaos listed above.




Total War Warhammer 2 Faction Tier List



Each faction has its own unique mechanics both on the battlefield and the turn-based campaign map, as well as its own roster of units. Because this list is based on the overall strength of the faction in the Realms of Chaos campaign, it will take all these aspects into consideration.


Updated September 7, 2022 by John Higgs: The arrival of the Immortal Empires update and Champions of Chaos DLC has changed the face of Total War: Warhammer 3 forever. The four new Warriors of Chaos Legendary Lords come with a rework of their original Total War: Warhammer faction, with a slew of new mechanics making them one of the most fun and powerful factions to play in both campaigns. Although this Total War: Warhammer 3 tier list remains focused on the original Realms of Chaos campaign, its power rankings can also be applied to the new, world-spanning Immortal Empires.


As a bonus, Azazel is just as powerful on the campaign map. Using Heroes to grant Gifts of Slaanesh to distant Lords can allow Azazel to seduce and vassalize factions that would normally oppose him, turning their strength on their friends instead. These abilities secure his position in the upper echelon of the Total War: Warhammer 3 tier list.


Grand Cathay's campaign mechanics, however, are a little less interesting and impactful than their rivals, relegating them to the B-tier in our Total War: Warhammer 3 tier list. Players must attempt to establish Harmony across their empire by having an equal number of Yin or Yang-aligned Lords, Heroes, technologies, and buildings. Although this system can provide powerful rewards, maintaining Harmony is often too fiddly to be worth it.


The Legion of Chaos is a tricky faction to place in a Total War: Warhammer 3 tier list, mostly due to their huge amount of customization options. Unfortunately, the Daemon Prince just isn't as powerful as the other Legendary Lords, no matter which way players choose to build him.


Although no faction in our Total War: Warhammer 3 tier list is unplayably bad, the Poxmakers of Nurgle are the weakest of the bunch. While their high defenses do allow them to withstand long engagements, Nurgle's armies are too slow to get into combat and can easily be picked apart by flanking attacks, spells, and ranged firepower.


Slaanesh has its few areas wherein it excels. Hit-and-run and surprise attacks work wonders. With proper use of flanking, the faction can turn into a force to be feared. But things can swing from good to bad far too quickly for a Slaanesh player to ever feel totally in control of a skirmish.


A faction is an important element of both, solo as well as multiplayer gameplay in Total War Warhammer 3, and in this tier list, we will show you the best of them. Factions can help you get the best out of the game with the least effort. Using the right faction will see you defeat your enemies with ease, while also enjoying the entire experience of the game. This tier list will rank factions from tiers S to F. Here, tier S will feature the best factions, and tier F will feature the worst factions in the game.


Khorne is the best faction in Total War Warhammer 3, rightfully earning its place in Tier A of this list. This particular faction places its strength in melee and raw damage. This gives it the ability to destroy the attacks of an opponent in little next to no time.


The Legion of Chaos is another great faction you can use when playing TWW 3. It consists of a heavily-customizable Daemon Lord, along with the versatility to easily combine with the rest of the factions in this tier list. Doing so can enable you to create a strong hybrid army.


The first human faction in this TWW 3 tier list, the Kislev are a great choice if you are new to the game. You will also most likely be playing with them during the prologue of the game. This faction prefers to approach battles in a hybrid fashion, consisting of melee, missile, spellcasting, and cavalry units. What results, is great versatility and agility in the attack.


The Nurgle faction in this Total War Warhammer 3 tier list tries to cripple the opponent with poison attacks. This unique style of attack helps slow down the enemy before they eventually get slower and lose their defensive stability.


So there you have it. This was our tier list of the best factions in Total War. As you can see, the best factions here will offer you great support, along with powerful attacks and robust defenses. We recommend you stay away from the factions in tier C and below, as these do not offer much value.


Like most factions on this list, Itza has a very comfortable starting position in Immortal Empires. Gor-Rok starts in Lustria surrounded mostly by other Lizardmen factions and gains access right off the bat to a solid base of operations in the titular city of Itza. Even more importantly, the faction also starts with the powerful Legendary Slann hero Lord Kroak. Lord Kroak comes equipped with a full set of unique items and can learn a wide variety of useful spells.


Bratterz: Can I make the case for Total War Warhammer 2? Both Double Tap and I have played a ridiculous amount of this. It is the closest we've had to the childhood dream of having the Warhammer fantasy world constructed in full. Creative Assembly need to be rewarded for the fact they have listened to their community, kept the base game of Total War Warhammer updated since development, and that has fed into the sequel. Not just the addition of new races and factions, but the quality of life changes that have come in for the first game are reflected in the second. And it feels like they're continuing to build more and more on this really cool idea they had, which was to create the whole Warhammer fantasy world. 2ff7e9595c
