So Nurgle Still Won't have Anti-large?

[Dylan]

Are one of these new units anti large because at this point if it isn't it's kinda ridiculous.

I thought the Rotknights were suposed to be the anti large

Hope so. He really needs something

Nurgle never Struggled vs large.
ranged has always been the issue. if you can not handle large with nurgle, that's a skill issue

Why should it need anti-large? Nurgle is flush with shooters and high mass units to tarpit.

Because every faction in the game has at least one anti large unit even if it's not very good. It's a gap in his roster and a pretty egregious one at that considering how meta mobility is rn.

Shooters? Nurgle has no missile infantry?

Oh you're talking MP then ?

I wish Nurgle stayed as slow as before, but more tanky...
It gives him so much more identity than "every faction in the game".

Ya I mean I don't really care what they do in single player but in mp he really needs it. It's an easily exploitable weakness that everyone who plays against him knows of. He already struggles with high mobility, the fact that he doesn't have at least one dedicated unit to countering that is kinda ridiculous when you consider every other faction does.

This. Completely this.

As Nurgle, facing ranged units is a complete pain because most of your units are slower, and you lack ranged of your own.

Large is not tough to cope with... you regenerate health and have lots of tank-ish units with high HP, so you just bog down the large and hack away while knowing your units will wear them down.

But good grief is ranged damage a pain... Kislev, Wood Elves, and a few others will just shower you with ranged damage and there's little recourse other than to endure and press on. Ranged fire damage in particular just shreds some of your units as Nurgle.

It's made worse in mp though when you are getting slammed by ranged units, flanked by large units and don't have the resources to deal with either XD
