Blessing of Asaph gives +25 reload skill and 20% missile damage as well as armour piercing damage to those around Khali, is probably why. Add in her poison and you can also slow the units and give them debuffs. I also would assume the 2 necrotects are to heal whichever Ushabti are forced into melee

[@dwightehowell8179]

It is often wise to use two or more stacks together. In this case the units in the second stack could have been used to protect the casket of souls from a strategic location near an edge and the others would have been free to be more mobile.

[@ctakitimu]

Wouldn't they have been overrun?

[@knighttemplaroftentacult7123]

I did this doomstack once with Khalida, but instead of casket there was a bone giant and there also was 3 units of halberd necropolis knights. I don't remember me ever loosing a single unit with that army.

[@AshenVictor]

46:00 Was probably Khalida thinking of the True Blessing of Asaph. Which is too short range to really do anything outside of sieges because Khalida needs to be off doing things.

[@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken]

depends on the army. You can always send in a lord later to make use of buffs at first. This particular fight maybe not, since she needed to act to slow down the army at first and what not.

This actually reminds me of a battle I had happen to me 2 days ago when I was playing as Tomb Kings with a doomstack of Hierotitans and a group of like 4 full army of dwarves went up against it only to be absolutely stomped by the titans badly, it was pretty epic and awesome to say the least. XD

[@jamiefenwick8359]

Would be better but not entirely ideal they are still a fair bit slower than the rest of the army and are not going to survive being left behind. Best bet is probably a war sphinx its fast, flexible, can distract the enemy well if needed and is quite bulky.

Finally, the doomstack I've been waiting for

[@over9000lord]

one large drawback of construct doomstacks is their lack of chaff to trigger this healing and ushabti summoning waagh thingy that tomb kings have. It may be worth it sometimes to have one skeleton unit with your army just to sacrifice it and get some healing. Although Arkhan with his summon item can get around it.

Honestly, I expected this to perform better. It is super micro intensive. I think by the time you get to the point you can spam great bows you can make an army that wouldn't need to micro so much. But, there were also a lot of slayers lol.

[@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken]

I think it only required so much micro because of the amount of armies needing to be fought. vs 1 or 2 armies you can easily leave a few to tank. Probably why they have 2 necrotets (for healing rather than buff) when some need to be forced into melee.

[@vladokalaba2640]

With khalida all units have poison attack With prepared lord you have bonus attack and ammunition and with his cat mount you have siege attacker (with all good gear) so you can have one more ubow instead casket and instead one necro. put prince + special banners or followers for range units With all of those you can have 8.5/10 or 9/10 with this army.

[@honorguard7616]

Would be nice

[@futonrevolution7671]

Legend barely ever plays SFO, and has said a few times that he wouldn't want to give out bad advice, because of that. It's why we get so few 20 turn guides; CA will move a settlement a half-inch, which completely changes the order in which you can do things and how the AI will react. I think that the reason that there isn't a lot of content is because the modders change things, all the time, turning a youtuber's content into something that will kill your campaign.

Tomb Kings need a possability to buy Heroes for Jars, just like Lords

[@dark_side_cookies]

I think if a hero is not immortal, they are deleted when you disband them. So they can’t continue providing bonuses while benched. I’m pretty sure that’s the case with all races. That said, just the lords alone are plenty for spamming jars. Once I was able to recruit lords at rank 5, I was getting one almost every turn. That’s 6 extra jars per turn; that’s just silly. Tomb kings are the only race I’ve played so far that I was able to have every hero and lord loaded with items, and still had tons of jars to spare.

[@sentinel6059]

This is missing the herald that gives the Ushabti Hawkish Precision. I also like Lamizzash more than Khalida as a lord for this - makes the Ushabti way more effective in close combat which is good when you run out of ammo. You lose out on the poison but it ain't worth it imo.

[@honorguard7616]

[@Kaffefar]

why a siege attacker when the great bows will tear through towers and gate? :)

[@sokar_rostau]

Siege Attacker is an inherent trait on some units that allows an army to attack a walled settlement straight away. Ushabti with Great Bows don't have the trait, so without a Siege Attacker in your army, you have to waste a turn building a ram you're not going to use. Look for the icon at the bottom of the unit card that has a door with a fireball/explosion on it.
