Any tips for Realm of Chaos final battles?

[Flip]

Any tips on the final Realms of Chaos battles where you battle the boss for the soul? Try Nurgles but couldn't make it past the first point as once you take it you are attacked from all sides and I was easily overwhelmed. Luckily I could auto-resolve it.

Finally made it now to the Tzeentch final boss but cannot auto-resolve this one, any tips for surviving the waves they send? Not sure what to do, barriers don't stop them and towers are gunned down in seconds.

I'm stuck here too. Its insanely hard, even with my Lord of Change doomstack. They just keep spawning. I gave up after 3 attempts.

What difficulty? How good are the troops you're using?

I'm playing Hard/Normal and never really had any problems with any of them. Tzeentch was probably the hardest just because of their ranged troops.

For all the others once you take the objective just put troops covering all of the chokepoints in and have your archers sat behind shooting everything. Have lords/monsters stand back to start with so they're free to go to wherever the most/strongest enemies are to assist. Get all the towers built ASAP, I usually use either the tier 1 or 2 towers at the first bit then try to shift to 3/4 for the last two. Perhaps even deleting some of the earlier stuff. Don't delete your towers for the second section though, they can usually hit enemies in the third section too.

Use traps/barricades sparingly, mostly not worth the money especially vs Tzeentch. They can be worthwhile against Nurgle though, slow them down even more while your archers/towers kill them all.

I feel like it must really depend on what faction you are. I did a Daemon Prince campaign on VH/VH and found all the survival battles to be really easy, but it may just be that the Khorne units I was spamming do really well in survival battles. The hardest one was definitely the Tzeentch one though; ranged spam is really obnoxious and that's pretty much his whole battle. The best advice I think I can give is to give the damage and defense buffs to your fast units and just have them run around wrecking ♥♥♥♥; just make sure to keep healing them as needed.

Thanks for advice, will try it again now. My army should be pretty decent vs Tzeentch, all Ice Guards with some bears thrown in so I can engage bears in melee and iceguard out range the horrors but the problem is I cannot keep all avenues defender. I didn't know you could use supplies to heal though.

Nurgle was horrible for me, I had a much weaker army of T1/T2 kossars and those Toads would not die

im more concerned here you think this is a viable doomstack, lord of changes are utter trash, your lords turn into one and they are just casters and terrible in melee.

your not going to have the winds to support 19 casters lol.

Yeah truthfully I find lords of change to be pretty useless as anything other than lords. When you're playing tzeench you already have plenty of casters considering all your heroes and lords are casters. I just beat the tzeench campaign tonight. I would recomend a mix of soul grinders and spawn of tzeench for the final battle. That's what I used along with a single cultist and my lord.

They're good as a hit and run GOON squad. 19 flyers dive a single unit and then fly away when resistance comes.

I've used them to great effects in the general campaign. Its just the final survival battle that I've ran into troubles. Hit and run takes time and the enemy spawns in faster than I can kill them.

Yea, I'm going to go back and spam soul grinders instead. Hit and run with big birds dont work well in that final survival battle.

i just played the khorne one and found it incredibly easy (not to add salt to the wound) i just bought all the best towers and barely any units even made it to me

[ScouseUlster]

just completed it there, i recommend if playing as daemon prince, half an armour of soul grinders, two thirds an army of minotaurs great weapons and your daemon prince and two units of khorne cavalry. Build all the archer towers, don't forget to use the healing power that is in the bottom right hand of the UI

I'm trying the battle against Belakor now as kislev....I knocked difficulty down to easy and the final wave doesn't seem possible....like I don't even get close to winning.

[Gaunt]

This reminded me of my Khorne campaign, once I got the 4th soul, I was continuously bombarded by the ai with magically appearing 20 stack armies, with units they shouldn't be able to field due to buildings. Ah fun times.

[Fazo]

regarting final battle Anti large does the trick. the grinders need to be tied up before they do lots of ranged damage. after first stage try to move up. they will never stop spawning in the starting area so not worth wasting time with them. once you progress just leave 2 hard to kill units in choke points and towers will keep them in check.

I have fought the the battle thrice now. One loss and two wins with a somewhat decent Cathay army (crashed on the records screen after my first win). What really helped me a lot was to fight the third wave from the second point. I set up my army with forward focus, as the enemies almost completly ignore the two sides. I then sent one damaged unit to capture the final point and then teleported it off the battlefield.
All towers were fitted with the highest tier to assist in the fight (They dont do friendly fire damage from what I could tell).
Once the wave has started all enemies will funnel through the same place, being peppered by the towers along the way. Belekor will probalby be the first one to arrive. Eagerly he assaulted my lord, wo was standing on the trap barricade. Afterwards I pummeled him with all my terracotta sentinels (most of them from the reinfocments). The crossbows were also able to get some decent shots on him on his approach. He died relativly quickly, before the second swarm off enemies could arrive.
This placement also has the advantage of staggering the enemy wave, being able to focus your defence on mostly one side and being able to distract enemies with far off barricades.

I fought these battles on the hard difficulty. Not sure if it will work as well on the higher ones but it beats beeing swarmed from all sides and having troops dropped on top of yours any day.
Oh and I almost forgot. They will completly ignore the last capture point as well. So no worries about losing access to the reinforcment pool.

I hope this helps any of you struggeling with this quite difficult fight.

I realised Katarina had serious debuffs from plauelords realm, I went back to kislev to wait for them to disappear and went back
