Complete Struggle: 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 in a different way to the way in which it has for earlier free-LCs, and Artistic Meeting defined how through a publish 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 Struggle Entry Dashboard, it is a totally different course of this time.
You will must register a CA account (opens in new tab), which is a brand new system Artistic Meeting has for retaining monitor of gamers throughout all its video games. When you had an account with Complete Struggle Entry you may have already got a CA account with the identical login and password, however you may 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 Struggle: Warhammer 3. When you’ve got bother 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 effectively.
As soon as you’ve got stuffed out your particulars, you will not must tick any bins to say Ulrika, or obtain something further. If you wish to ensure it labored, begin a customized battle as both The Empire or Kislev and see for those who 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 could be earned by Kislev or Empire factions in both a Realm of Chaos or Immortal Empires marketing campaign. First you may must get your lord to rank 11, and after {that a} quest known as Slaughter on the Steppes will seem. When you’re already partway by a marketing campaign, don’t be concerned, you needn’t begin a brand new one. I had the hunt 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 for those who’re Kislevite, or Tall Partitions for those who’re Imperial. That is a tier-three constructing within the minor settlement protection class, so begin working towards that whilst you’re rating up your lord to stage 11. When you’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 may want to save lots of up 15,000 gold in your treasury. As soon as that is performed, a dilemma will seem on the following flip known 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 development and management. After all 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 problem. Ulrika is a hybrid ranged/melee combatant who additionally casts spells, boosts recruit ranks, and has two distinctive gadgets, a singular ancillary, and a singular ability line. Whilst you may use her as an impartial agent exterior a military, that is not the place she shines. Her distinctive abilities include buffs that apply to everybody within the military she joins, reducing attrition, growing fireplace resistance, spell resistance, and so forth.
She’s a robust fighter too, with considered one of her gadgets, the Silver Dagger, including magic assaults, and 25% base and armor-piercing weapon injury for 32 seconds. She’s additionally acquired 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 slightly than the warfare bear different Kislevites battle with. Earlier legendary heroes have been all around the chart by way of energy stage, with Ariel and Lord Kroak being notably robust, however after testing Ulrika out in a marketing campaign I might put her proper up there alongside them—particularly with these army-wide buffs.
