That isnt a weakness, though.

In fact, focusing purely on melee and raw damage is Khornes greatest strength.

Their units are ferocious and brutal, able to crush any foe within minutes.

This lends itself to a variety of playstyles, but theyre all bloodthirsty and ferocious.

Just remember, as with all Chaos factions, diplomacy will tend to come as a last resort.

The greatest weakness of the Ogre Kingdoms is their solitary infantry unit, the feeble Gnoblars.

This lets you create a versatile strategy in combat that can adapt to a wide range of situations.

Nurgle

Nurgle focuses on weakening the enemy with poison attacks.

They will slowly eat away at an enemy army, making them vulnerable to your attacks.

As the poison spreads, your opponent will become slower, weaker, and suffer huge losses to armor.

As you take damage, you have fewer reasons to worry than most.

Poisonous fiends of Nurgle rush forward on a battlefield in Total War: Warhammer 3, bugs fly over the battlefield. The battle is coated in a hazy green fog.

This all sounds like it would make Nurgle a powerful faction, but they have a great weakness.

Their slow speed makes it easy for enemies to quickly regroup and counter-attack.

Nurgle also has a lack of missile units, so you wont be able to attack from a distance.

Slaanesh focuses on speed and ferocity, but this comes at a cost.

However, this barrier will fall quickly to sufficient damage, and Tzeentch units dont have very high armor.

Playing as Tzeentch will leave you feeling torn.

Cathay

Like Kislev, Cathay is a human faction that provides a range of unit types.

However, Cathay units are closely linked through the Harmony trait.

This applies either the Yin or Yang trait to each unit in the Cathay army.

As units rout and run away, youll find your whole army starts to waiver.

This can prove fatal, and Cathay has very few powerful abilities that you might use to regain strength.

Kislev is able to withstand great damage without losing morale, ensuring that their forces rarely abandon a fight.

That covers our Total War: Warhammer 3 faction tier list.
