You'll notice that some stats that are usually considered important, such as leadership, CB, MA and strength are rated low.

The following paragraphs are for those that are curious about the reasoning behind the list. The above is all you really need to know in terms of stat and ability prioritization, so if you're happy with that you can just move on to the Resistance section. The following are the eight stats and abilities you will want to prioritize on a solo lord, roughly ordered from most important to least important:ġ. The battles don't take as long in real time as they're not micro intensive and can be played at maximum speed if you wish. It is therefore advisable that you select 60 minutes or unlimited battle length when you start a campaign. It can take 15 minutes of in-game time to kill an entire army with just one lord, and multiples of that against multiple armies. The absolutely most powerful lords are those that are strong in both resistance and general stats, such as Archaon, Malekith, Kholek, Durthu and Harkon.Ī final point before you choose your lord. For instance, Mannfred has significantly lower resistance than Ghorst or Kemmler, but his combat stats are so much stronger that he's clearly the better pick as a solo lord. While resistance is very important, other stats should also be considered. Even if you use a WH2 solo lord it is therefore preferable to play in Mortal Empires, and this guide is written from that perspective (though much of the information is valid for both modes). Lords can be made much stronger in Mortal Empires than they can in the Vortex campaign, due to the wider variety of LLs available to defeat for traits. Even if you ultimately plan to run other Chaos or Empire lords solo, they can be made more survivable if you recruit them after starting with Sigvald or Gelt. This is because as starting lords they provide armour buffs to all lords in their faction (see faction effects section below).

The first question is which lord should you choose? For reasons that will become clear, the better choices as solo lords tend to be those that can reach at least 90% stacked physical resist (ward+physical resist).
