[@dantesparda14175]

Honestly Vilitch is such a good lord for just running up onto the walls of a settlement and soloing the entire garrison. In my Vilitch campaign I just had Vilitch and a squad of chaos sorcerers of tzeentch running around and taking settlements with basically no damage at all

[@Sadiqibram2]

Hey👋 You've won something 💯👌

[@dumbboyalex4396]

Vilitch's achilles heel is getting out-dueled by a lord/hero with big weapon strength, small model, high speed and better attack stats than him. Without that he just exists and spams magic like nothing else. Like Kairos but slower and can stand in his own infernal gate... which is just damn silly, I got 1k kills on his quest battle in one overcast doing that.

[@quint3ssent1a]

@@vladvoinea7759 yeah, i think Azazel too, but he needs to be doomstacked too (outfitted with coolest weapons and armor).

[@dumbboyalex4396]

@@quint3ssent1a High DPS is needed cuz of his barrier. Unlikely any lords without Sword of Khaine will be able to match up to him consistently in campaign vs AI except for maybe Azazel since he can probably get a blade of slaanesh himself. He's pretty easy to force confed though, so... idk, probably not even a blip on the radar. Small model and high speed: Because if the unit is slow, he can back up and spam blue fire to out-dps them, and it's even more effective on large. But Vilitch won't use blue fire in melee, so a fast large model like Kholek can still rush him, and Azazel, but if they ever feel the need to disengage they get pelted down. But as Legend said, even with those abilities, Vilitch might still out-duel them just because he's player controlled and kitted out with perfect items, and can in theory out-EHP them. He'd need to be cracked down on debuffs, like poison and shadow/slaanesh spells, and AI might forget to do it. Vilitch's weakness is single target damage in melee, and he's still not that bad at it, but if someone is twice as good as him at it it's the only thing in the game that can threaten him in a one man doomstack scenario in theory. If the AI decides to create a monster stack though, like dragons or mammoths, he might be in trouble then too.

He gets a few more reductions to the casting cost of tzeench spells in the tech tree. I imagine that he has 0.something cost for the spell, that's why it doesn't show as having cost.

[@dyinginfashion2558]

Another thing is that Vilitch has a trait that restores barrier if he is in melee in addition to when casting. And all of his traits affect an aoe. So while you don't need it you could totally have an army with you.

it would still kill everything, just due to how strong the magic is, but the abilties would've been 50% more expensive to cast, making gateway for example take 10 instead of 5

[@RJWhitmore]

@@Adierit The spells would not be 50% more expensive to cast than they were in that battle, instead they would have been 50% of the original cost more to cast. To be clear, since there are other reductions in play, it would likely have been more than twice as expensive. Example maths: If the current cost is 40% due to 100% -50% - 10%, then removing the -50% gets you to 90%, which is more than twice of 40%. That is not to say the magic would not still have killed everything, and it is kind of irrelevant anyway because Vilitch would still have been a 10/10 one man doomstack with zero winds of magic due to be practically invincible no matter what can be potentially be thrown at him by the AI.
