Note 2: The only difference when you’re going for a long campaign victory is that you need to complete eight Rituals of Rebirth (basically all the magical forests in Total War: Warhammer II’s Mortal Empires campaign).ĭrycha starts in Gryphon Wood between the Empire’s provinces of Talabecland and Ostermark. She’s at war with Clan Kreepus (a minor Skaven clan that owns Mordheim, a city of the damned, apparently), as well as Ostermark.Īs for units, you’ve got 4x Malevolent Dryads, 1x Malevolent Treeman, 1x Deepwood Scouts, and 1x Giant Wolves. For Malevolent-type units, the main difference from regular tree/forest spirit units is that they have the “Frenzy” attribute. Likewise, Drycha has a Wood Elf Waystalker hero, so you probably want some perks that help with training your units and wounding/assassinating foes. You could also grab “Arrow of Kurnous” and “Prey of Anath Raema” to pin down and snipe lords and heroes. Lastly, don’t forget to recruit a Branchwraith (Lore of Life) later in your Total War: Warhammer II campaign.

You’ll be focusing on a lot of tree units, which means “Earth Blood” and “Regrowth” are necessary spells (plus “The Dwellers Below” adds some AoE damage).

You’ll want several blue line skills to increase your ambush chance and global recruitment capacity. For red line skills, go ahead and take “Ancient Bark” to boost your Treeman and Tree Kin units. “Wings of the Forest” (if you want to recruit Forest Dragons later) is probably better than “Piercing Thorns” (which boosts Dryads and Eternal Guard).
