Khorne: Arbaal the Undefeated
Arbaal the Undefeated is a free legendary lord, also known as free DLC or free-LC. He just might be one of the best lords in Omens of Destruction since he’s naturally available to all Total War: Warhammer 3 players.
Faction effects:
- Access to the Challenges of Khorne, allowing you to partake in battles to gain Khorne’s Favor.
- -10% upkeep for non-daemonic units.
- -50% construction costs and construction time for mortal military and defense buildings (factionwide).
Lord effects:
- -1 turn global recruitment duration (lord’s army).
- +10% weapon strength for non-daemonic units (lord’s army).
- Passive ability: Hellblade – For Chaos Warriors, Chosen, Chaos Knights, and Skullcrushers of Khorne (lord’s army).
- Ability: Gaze of Khorne
Arbaal the Undefeated’s perks nudge you to focus more on mortal/human troops, as opposed to daemonic selections. Still, you’re free to do as you please when it comes to your army composition, especially if you want to successfully complete the Challenges of Khorne.
Similar to Skulltaker’s Cloak of Skulls or Wulfrik’s Monster Hunts, Arbaal roams the world in search of battles to prove that he’s worthy of the Blood God’s blessings. Winning these trials nets you rewards, including favor (i.e. gold), Khorne’s Favor (faction buffs), and other passive gains.
Another quirk of note is that Arbaal’s moniker, the Undefeated, means that you should do your best to avoid losing a battle. If this unfortunate instance occurs, you’ll be presented with a dilemma: Either you continue the campaign with a permanent diplomatic penalty with other Khornate factions or you end your campaign instantly. Of course, it’s totally fine to continue your run, since you’re likely to conquer everyone else around you anyway, so this concept just adds a bit of flavor to the overall experience. Just as well, you can reload a previous save so you can ensure that you actually win on your next attempt.
That does it for our guide on the best Total War: Warhammer 3 – Omens of Destruction legendary lords. We hope these tips help you choose the ideal general for your future runs.
