Complete Warfare: Warhammer 3 has a brand new DLC, Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs, and with that paid DLC’s launch comes a “free-LC” for everybody. This time, it is a legendary hero for Kislev and Empire factions named Ulrika Magdova.
Unlocking Ulrika works otherwise to the best way it has for earlier free-LCs, and Inventive Meeting defined how by way of a submit on the Steam discussion board (opens in new tab) and an FAQ (opens in new tab). The place earlier freebies would both present up within the storefront or must be added to your account from the Complete Warfare Entry Dashboard, it is a completely different course of this time.
You will must register a CA account (opens in new tab), which is a brand new system Inventive Meeting has for protecting monitor of gamers throughout all its video games. For those who had an account with Complete Warfare Entry you will have already got a CA account with the identical login and password, however you will nonetheless must replace it (opens in new tab) and provides it the OK to hook up with both Steam or Epic, wherever you personal Complete Warfare: Warhammer 3. If in case you have hassle logging in like I did, hit the profile icon on the high proper, sign off, and take a look at once more. Accessing it from an incognito tab appears to work as nicely.
As soon as you have crammed out your particulars, you will not must tick any packing containers to say Ulrika, or obtain something additional. If you wish to be sure that it labored, begin a customized battle as both The Empire or Kislev and see when you can add her to your military. If you wish to have Ulrika in your facet in a marketing campaign recreation, that is going to take a bit of extra explaining.
Ulrika will be earned by Kislev or Empire factions in both a Realm of Chaos or Immortal Empires marketing campaign. First you will must get your lord to rank 11, and after {that a} quest referred to as Slaughter on the Steppes will seem. For those who’re already partway by means of a marketing campaign, don’t be concerned, you needn’t begin a brand new one. I had the search pop on a save the place I used to be already round 100 turns right into a Kislev marketing campaign, with one lord at stage 39.
The primary quest will demand you both assemble a Frozen Outpost when you’re Kislevite, or Tall Partitions when you’re Imperial. That is a tier-three constructing within the minor settlement protection class, so begin working towards that when you’re rating up your lord to stage 11. For those who’ve already constructed one, no worries. That quest will auto-complete and the second will seem.
The second quest is Bait the Bloodborn, for which you will want to avoid wasting up 15,000 gold in your treasury. As soon as that is executed, a dilemma will seem on the subsequent flip referred to as Ulrika the Vampire. That is proper, Ulrika is among the undead, and you will have the choice to both recruit her or execute her for a 10-turn increase to progress and management. In fact you need to select “recruit” to lastly unlock Ulrika, at which level she’ll seem beside your lord on the marketing campaign map.
It is price all that trouble. Ulrika is a hybrid ranged/melee combatant who additionally casts spells, boosts recruit ranks, and has two distinctive objects, a novel ancillary, and a novel ability line. When you might use her as an impartial agent exterior a military, that is not the place she shines. Her distinctive expertise include buffs that apply to everybody within the military she joins, reducing attrition, growing hearth resistance, spell resistance, and so forth.
She’s a robust fighter too, with one among her objects, the Silver Dagger, including magic assaults, and 25% base and armor-piercing weapon harm for 32 seconds. She’s additionally obtained entry to spells from the lore of shadows, that are enhanced by her Blood Shard, which boosts her spell mastery with each kill she makes. Her ancillary, Gabriella von Nachthafen, will increase the Winds of Magic energy reserve by 5 every flip.
Nonetheless, Ulrika’s higher used as a warrior than a spellcaster, even when she solely will get a horse as a mount reasonably than the struggle bear different Kislevites combat with. Earlier legendary heroes have been everywhere in the chart when it comes to energy stage, with Ariel and Lord Kroak being significantly powerful, however after testing Ulrika out in a marketing campaign I might put her proper up there alongside them—particularly with these army-wide buffs.
