N'Kari tips?

[Nox]

Hello, I'm trying to somehow get a grip on N'Kari, I understand the battles where you cycle charge, focus range etc. but for god's sake I feel helpless with everyone declaring war on me and me capable of doing nothing.

I can take the starting province easily, but then? I'm stuck. The province to the right has fullstack in city and a half stack in another. I usually lure the fullstack out by ambush. But I need a decent army and by the time I recruit and beat the fullstack, Eltharion and Allarielle declare war with Tyrion joining soon after and I am once again restarting.

I love Slaanesh's design and gameplay, I love their mechanics....but I hate this start so much.

Any tips? Hell I won't even mind step by step guide. I tried farming devotees but I just can't ♥♥♥♥ disciple armies with fullstack coming at me almost every turn later on.

Yeah the donut is hard to play, if you really struggle then abandon it and go to bretonia.

For disciple army try to only summon them on area with high corruption (like >75) and it should give you 20 stacks.

Playing slaanesh is kind of like playing khorne in that way, you try to be very agressive to summon more and more armies that fight for you.

If you want you can add me and I can show you the first few turn (I usually play in auto resolve but I can show you a few battle)

[Butter Bot]

You can also totally ignore the right side and focus on Alariel, the other elf usually don't declare war on you if you keep a relativly small army near their border (I usually use a disciple army)

Scince a new slaanesh DLC is probably comming, there will probably be a lot more of those question.
Mabye I should do a tips & tricks video.

Take risks (don't wait until you have a perfect army), deal with Eltharion using your main army, while you keep Allarielle at bay with a small army + garrison until you can recruit more units and take on her with your second army. Use N'kari to take out Tyrion after Eltharion is gone, while your second army keep pressure on Allarielle and anything else that might attack on the north. Do a non-aggression pact with Be'lakor as soon as you meet him, or you might end up with yet another war.

Edit: I forgot Disciple armies are a thing. They are great for defense, since they don't degrade on high slaanesh corruption, so you can use one to deal with Allarielle instead of recruiting a second army right away. You can also use it to reinforce N'kari early, if you need to.

N'kari solos sieges as long as you get him through the gate. It also saves the rest of your army for more important things, like triple-gifting Eltharion.
Get a Chaos Lord if you have CoC, especially scaled-skin: 100 Armor, 55% Shield, (phys+missile) 50% Resist. Have him distract the Mistnar garrison while N'kari and reinforcements are arriving, then send him in - he should survive even on the worst difficulty.
Marauders of Slaanesh are competent at melee and Daemonettes are competent at brawling. Every ranged unit the enemy brings into a field battle is dead weight.
Wipe out every enemy unit you can in battle, not only to heal N'kari, but also maximize EXP - N'kari can get level 5 on Turn 1.

Want to deal with fewer elves? Beat them faster:
Turn 1 - Tor Achare
Turn 2 - Elisia (N'kari topmost cell bordering Cothique, Chaos Lord in the water if conquered)
Turn 3 - Mistnar and Tor Koruali (disciple army before moving, reinforce Mistnar at 77% movement on the bottom cell on the island)
Turn 4 - Eltharion and Tor Yvresse (prioritize archers to prevent them returning to garrison)
Vassal or conquer, doesn't matter. Though you must make map moves a specific way if you conquer. Eataine (Lothern and Angerrial) and Ellyrion (Tor Elyr and Whitefire Tor) are the ones you want for yourself for money.

Seduce Alarielle with cults, while fighting off everyone. Use two armies- one real army and one small army and set real army to ambush stance to bait.

Once Alarielle is seduced, taking the rest of the donut is easy. After you seduce Alarielle, and turn her into N'Kari's sex slave, you can also seduce a beastman tribe, and well, hopefully you can see where I'm going with this.

Yes, most Slaanesh cultists do.

Sorry, I'll go now.

[Virgin Wizard]

Slaanesh is pain. I am waiting for DLC at this point. Like I was waiting for ToD to finally play Kugath.

I mean N'Kari can shapeshift...it may not be that bad

A stressful version of Hammer and anvil. Imagine the anvil was made of glass and the hammer was a obsidian sword. You have to position yourself so as to when it's time to use the "hammer", it goes long into the back-line and more importantly HARD. Only do lord on lord action unless it's a magic user then he can stand in the back and do his thing. Do the shooters first, of course, never run directly into long pointers because those thing can really mess up your chariots if they get stuck in. Don't let your demonettes take it all, they are there for killing power not staying power.


I don't know if that helps but, for some reason I want to play N'Kari now...

[Fauxsteel]

Send N'kari into the fray last. literally spam marauders and move around the toilet bowl clockwise. Vassal the elves. Use your heroes on the campaign map. VH/L

Yeah, this game is that easy.

[Carog the Fat]

Attack don't worry about defending go clockwise and summon disciple army to help you push forward, I played this recently as there have been a few requests for help with this some fight were very tough which was enjoyable. Also send out cultist to make more cult building to get a disciple income, i had a cult spawn up in the chaos waste for a i built a cultist building there and expand then built another cultist build they then helped spread corruption and place more cult.

[[FuFo] Mortucus]

spawn cult armies and work on spreading you're love dust eventuly they will not be able to resist you and just become you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and make cults every chance you have.
and remember that disiple armies are expendable they wont degrade in zones of slanesh corruption but they wont heal their troops in them either.
