Gotrek nearly instantly dies?

[Diro Goodboy]

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm trying to recruit Gotrek and Felix but by the time my *cavalry* reaches them, Gotrek has already taken 95% of his health in damage, the rest of the mission is seemly a dice throw of me trying to predict his AI and throw units at the enemies before he reaches them whilist hoping he doesn't pushes throw my troops and dies.

Have yet to get Gortek this patch but if he his able to meet his doom in glorious battle that is great.

If you are actually looking for advice:
Slayers have no armor which makes them more or less glass cannon units, do not expect them to stay in prolonged combat and not die.

The thing is the quest to recruit them throw them head first into a whole Slaanesh army with your army way behind them, considering all Imperial units are slower than their Slaaneshy counterparts and that the AI will walk towards that Slaanesh army, making even hard for me to reach them, they *will* get into prolonged combat. It's not a thing I can control because I can't control them.
Like I said the best I can do is try and predict where the AI will send them, surround them with my units and hope they don't push through in combat and end up surronded anyway, which is what has been happening in all my attempts.

Pretty sure he's broken. Someone else was complaining that he has no Skill tree.. Pretty sure they broke a bunch of stuff.

Just move your infantry up to support, and send Elspeth (Dragon) and your empire captain (who should be on a Pegasus by now) to support. Drop the spell that lowers armor and weapon dmg once they bunch up on Felix and Gotrek and keep doing it. Spirit leech the prince and focus fire with your cannon and volley guns or firearms on the prince and then chaos spawn/fiends.

You can use overcast spirit leech to aggro the demon hero's from afar. If your having a lot of trouble at that point you probably need to tier up some.

i mean he has alot of ward save when you level him up so i think it should be fine after hes maxed out

Agreed, I've just completed that quest battle yesterday evening and Gotrek had no skilltree and can't join an army. But Felix can, of course.

This is probably some leftover from his pre-patch mechanics.

That is a mod issue.

> Talking about Gotrek dying in the quest battle to recruit him before cavalry can reach him
> Armchair experts telling you to give him ward save like you can level him up before you recruit him

Amazing.

By the time cavalry reaches them they are nearly dead, infantry fares much *much* worse.
So spoilers sending my heroes to tie up their stuff usually ends up with *my* heroes nearly dying (since seekers do a ♥♥♥♥ load of damage reugardless).

What ultimatelly ended working out was using Karl Franz to snipe the 3 Allurenes whilist hoping my regular army can keep him alive.

Took me 5 retries and lots of cursing before I finally manage to kill things fast enough before that suicidal idiot kills himself. Babysitting battles are the worst, most miserable experience this game has to offer. I will definitely never bother with that one again and instead use autoresolve quest battles mod.

Just get the Auto-resolve Quest Battles mod.

Does it still work ? It hasn't been updated for patch 5

There are three different auto-quest resolve mods. THere is one that was updated.

Yup he literally dies before I can reach him (Elspeth playthrough)
