Vlad von Karstein is OP ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[Pug Gaming]

I defeated his entire army in battle and this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ just can't die. It makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense. Why is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ so OP.

well, how about learning to play this game first?

Vlad (and Isabella) are both very strong, yes; if you're having trouble with a unit, it would behoove you to select that unit, and mouse over its affects and abilities.

If you had done that, you would discover that Vlad regens HP as long as he's in melee combat. Which means you either have to kill him with ranged, or just brute force him down by over-damaging his regen (either by rate or total).

You are talking rubbish. I know what I did and it didn't work, he is just immortal.

Then clearly what you were doing was wrong and you should do something else.

Go ahead, play as Vlad. You'll quickly realize he's anything but immortal.

Well technically he is, every LL and lvl 20 lord is.

Learn to accept you're making mistakes and find ways to improve. Instead of blaming everything else.

I know, very hard in modern types for people to accept they aren't perfect but still.

[Arthur two sheds Jackson]

he is the only LL with grimgor that you need an army built to destroy him, cant just mindlessly handle him like most lords, denpending on your army he might be an unsurmountable wall

[Formous]

He's literally Dracula XD

What do mine eyes see? A mad cuz bad at fighting vlad thread that's nigh on an exact replica of the last mad cuz bad at fighting vlad thread? This cannot be! The legends spoke of a search function. Surely some hero will come to rectify this... or at least make OP be both less bad and less mad.

[Defmonkey]

Hes supposed to be hard to kill. He's not invincible. Bring the right tools for the job and he's toast like anyone else.

There are loads of threads on this on steam and plenty of videos explaining how to go about this. It really is not that difficult.

Well, let's see how the game is going.

So Vlad- The only VC faction- no allies arround, surrounded by - Empire factions, hostile Drycha, hostile Ungrim. As he progresses he meet- 0 allies( or he meets Skraag, absolutely irrelevant faction on the map, which isn't even capable of beating minor factions in AR) but, hostile Kislev, another Hostile Dwarves/ very alternatively GS- which are also hostile by default if he didn't already do some damage to their enemies, more and more Empire factions / alternatively very hostile Wood elves if Durthu goes mad and attack and succeed against Golden order.

And even further in the game he meets Archaon, Skaven, Norscans, Brets, Chorfs, all hostile to him.

Does he deserve to be OP? without question- he still loses in auto-resolve against stacked garbage, his AI won't survive past turn 60-80, depends on situation, and is suiciding against all odds even against factions with common enemy.

You can complain about how some mechanics or model animations work in battle, but thats it. Not against his numbers. There are plenty better duelist and meele fighters than Vlad, and in Ai hands, which can't use magic, you can't even complain about him being absolutely OP.

have a nice day and Git Gud.

[cernodan]

Imagine effort posting in this thread, when OP simply needs to be watered twice a day and kept in the shade.

To add to this, his re-gen is not everlasting. He has a cap.

Give you single entity combatants heavy mounts and cyclecharge him. I did it against Grimgor once. Dat Git was allmost invulnerable against everything (had regen in combat) and annihilate enything in prolonged fight. So only cyclecharge with my horse/dragon mounted heroes/lord could help.
Missile troops should be OK too But Vlad (like Grimgor in my case) is infantry sized, so very small target

My favorite is using a Witch Hunter to benny hill Vlad while he blaps him with his gat

Yeah, if you cant kill him outright (and you should be able to do easily so long as you do not play to his strengths), trigger crumbling and he will die, go Benny Hill as needed.

If you bum rush him he will kick your arse.

Yeah, that's what I mean by 'total', but I didn't communicate it clearly. x_x
