Lucien - Death Company Intercessor - Massive Damage!

Totally befitting the grim dark

[@haoo549]

Too many angry chars, need some happy characters like very huggy Salamanders, White scars (while killing), orks (as a machines of war), Drukkarii (surely they had some fun time in Commoragh), Harleyquinns (smiley mask, not sure what lies behind the maks), Exodites (dinosaur are 2nd coolest thing since the creation of dragons) Emperor's childrens ( rock n' roll make you happy, just dont mind the victims ok), Trazyn the pokemon collect them all Wait,... too many happy and angry, how about some depressive and misery folks like Primachless Iron hands, Kriegs and Shovels, bad- luck Lamenters, bitter Iron warriors (nobody should ever know how an Iron warriors is made),Night lords First claws, Tax-evade Astral claws (now they had to pay blood tax for Chaos everyday), Chaos cultists (pure misery that joining Chaos is a better option), Custodian and Sister of Silence (they had 1 job and they fail that 1 job), salty Be'lakor cant get them all.

[@Bulgarian021]

We need some nun from the administration of the Empire who is calm and loves books. She would not even have an attack but would provide mega buffs and sjould have special bonus dmg v Kharn

[@cloudy1923]

He's so FLUFFY! I love it! The little detail of Sanguinius' feathers falling down around him on his active is... Stunning. The art team have really outdone themselves. Design team, too - he looks so lovingly designed - in form and function~ :P

[@GenuinelyHorriblePerson]

I love the detail they put into his animation. He breathes alot heavier than the other characters in his idle animation and if you watch long enough to show his inner battle he looks off into the distance before shaking his head and looking straight forward again.

[@fenxis]

Kid: Mom can we get Kharn? Mom: we already have Kharn Kharn at home: Lucien

[@MrJuliansnow]

I really like the "special cases" section. Thanks for that addition.

[@freddymcshreddy6586]

I honestly like how he’s designed. It’s very fluffy and fitting for the black rage to be a double edged sword. I also like that much like Mataneo and his summons he seems to have a unique affect to his abilities when low health (which seems to be hinting at a theme with blood angels aside from mephiston)

[@MrRagnarac]

It would he cool if another BA coming out was a chaplin with the ability to control lucien after he has gone into the black rage

[@cheesewipe7631]

Maybe Lemartes is a good option?

[@YaminoSeigi]

Astorath?

[@n0isyturtle]

His idle animation makes him look like a exhausted asthmatic trying to catch their breath holding that big gun

[@hell1942]

I mean, given what the death company is in the lore....

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

I mean it makes sense. He's actively struggling to even stay still, it takes tons of effort for him to not just grab the gun by the other end and swing it like a club into the nearest living thing.

[@ryukyle5913]

Seems like the ragnar deathball got a new friend

[@ConstableCuddy]

Keep in mind that Lucien has a ranged attack and is thus unaffected by Ragnar's Howl. Still seems strong in TA and Guild Wars.

[@ryukyle5913]

​@@ConstableCuddyseems like he doesn't even need the howl lol Kharn+mataneo and lucien for cleanup was what I was picturing. His movement + range would be ideal to pick off 2 more if they get to survive

[@Antrositic]

Great video, your presentation is awesome and easy to understand. Thank you, Nandi!

[@gdonaldson26]

I think it might be good to mention that when he's unlocked at uncommon, his active ability sets his health to 30% rather than 50% (I'm sure will go up as he increases in rarity), considering most of us won't be getting him up to that max level. 😂 Edit: watched further in and it's on the progression and infographic. 🤣

[@JoelVanboening]

I appreciate that you mention the the Friend Code is 1 time use. Few disclose that.

[@firedrake110]

Whooo, my specific question got answered. I'm glad to know that abilities which set units to specific HP %'s are not affected by Mephiston's passive

[@SamwellFuqua]

Nice job on TA Nandi! Finishing #15 is really impressive.

[@arguss311]

Thanks for another great overview, Nandi! I’m excited for this guy!

[@Freehand0592]

You’re the first place I go and you never disappoint. Thank you for the videos.

[@ewanhamilton1012]

Was hoping there'd be a chance he'd attack friendlies similar to Khârn's betrayal. With Blood Angels as an exception. Pretty sure that's the lore accurate Black Rage.

[@MrJuliansnow]

I thought they just knew death was coming, and they were going to take down all the enemies with their last breath. Man, I'm behind on my 40k lore.

[@nebulonian1385]

​@MrJuliansnow The Black Rage alters one's perception, the afflicted sees themselves (with only a few exceptions, such as Lemartes) as Sanguinius storming the Vengeful Spirit (or similar conflicts), and their allies as fellow battle brothers. The Red Thirst is the one that typically results in the humans being killed by BA and their successors, and the two conditions get mixed together by most people. The DC is executed after battle more as a mercy than a security, though they're still dangerous if not given a target.

[@Dapperfex]

@@nebulonian1385 The Black Rage is quite fickle, and they'll often see allies as enemies as well. Especially if said allies are trying to get them to snap back to reality, or calm down. They see them as Heresy era traitors trying to hinder or trick them (Sanguinius) on their mission to slay Horus. So having the effect work in game similarly to Kharn's passive wouldn't have been out of the question.

[@Antigen1990]

Playing the tournament arena for the first time recently made me really want a game mode in this game that I can play all the time when Im out of tokens and energy. The casual mode was great fun to play in the downtimes. Just a suggestion, would be nice to have a permanent casual game mode with no rewards. Would be a cool way to try new characters or team combos without potentially wasting precious resources too. Basically I love the game and just want to keep playing it.

[@captianmarmoo4706]

FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM, THIS IS THE CHARACTER IMMA TRY TO MAX

[@MoEl-sayed]

Idea of having one character below health and behaving as a summoner is questionable

[@Bryancstephan]

I was worried about that too. Since he would prefer kills when the back rage is up, he will use up a lot of his potential attacking opposing summons. I think the work around for this is to pair him with a summoner to they can swarm low priority targets before he activates.

[@ryukyle5913]

Makes perfect sense if you consider him a PVP character. In GW defense he's already played by AI. In TA if you use him with ragnar you're trying to end the game quickly anyways and the first strike is the most important. He's obviously not for most PVE modes. Maybe uses for LRE but most of the restrictions he does fill have better picks.

[@MoEl-sayed]

@@Bryancstephan I think he will be great if the next two blood angels characters have synergies that help them especially Mataneo with the summons

[@MidnightHozz]

Treat it like a last resort self-heal.

Been waiting for this!

[@Jay-dj3tw]

Well this is fun

[@MidnightHozz]

Seems like he will be a good LRE choice.

[@jameslin3458]

Being physical traits and a resistance, I am thinking of building him mostly for LRE.

[@lewishorsman2219]

At least the physical trait plus the passive will be a big help for LRE’s

[@GPatronymic]

Seems as though he should attack friendlies as well as enemies, prioritizing the nearest toon when in black rage mode. But his model looks great, with the mk4 helmet. Much better looking than the other blood angels so far. Thanks for the vid Nandi!

[@joemoorhouse276]

how do you stockpile energy? might not be worth a video on its own, but maybe as part of a larger character release guide?

[@silverblack110]

Energy you don't accept in a battle pass goes to your inbox until you claim it. Redeeming codes with energy (but not claiming them) is also another method.

[@hell1942]

Can get 50 from ads and 100 from one purchase a day Seems simple to me, others are codes and the pass

[@mehal2]

Is there anything preventing you from healing Lucien back to full when he’s in the black rage?

Alright so why is his primary range attack blast when he's holding a bolter and his secondary passive ability bolter instead of blast
