casting the hornet rat spell

That's one impressive slave army you got there...

There are two reasons why your Grey Seer got so many kills.

1. The Horned Rat spell is quite powerful.
2. When you win an offensive settlement battle, all the losers die and their deaths get split across as kills by all your units. However, some units get more kills because of how the game calculates it i.e cheap trash like Skavenslaves won't get much kills. Since your Grey Seer is the only unit in that army that can decently put up a fight; the survivors were calculated to have died by your Grey Seer's hands instead of the useless Skavenslaves.

If you auto-resolve a battle, higher tier units tend to kill more than lower tier. But in real battle, you may send your high-tier units to duel other high-tier units. And high-tier units are usually harder to kill and less model count. So you'll notice AR nets your high-tier units more kills sometimes, but when you actively play out the battle, they might kill less.

i dont auto resolve battles i fought it. first wave skaven slaves to make them use ammo and exhaust them next is the real wave sending in with grey seers and storm vermin

Okay then, if you blob up enemies and use that spell, it wrecks face indeed. I got 100 kills with one Burning Skull, and that's nothing compared to Horned Rat.

litterly anyone inside the ring of effect died no survivors and i hit like 4 stacks at the same time all 4 times i used the spell. using skaven slaves so they where trapped in a small space and then they all got wrecked

No surprising, I think plague magic is the most powerful out of the 3 mages from skaven, the lore of stealth is good and fun but plague still the best is insane.

[Cacomistle]

I mean, you're fighting peasants. The only caster in the game that I think couldn't kill 800 peasants is a life caster (even then though, a lot of the life caster lords could, at the very least treemen fey and slann all could).

I've gotten 800 kills in 1 cast with winds of death, and that was vs high tier wood elves.

Ruins in a siege battle could easily get that many kills too. Probably a bit less vs peasants, but warp lightning is better vs armor so it does better vs high tier infantry.

Try the new vortex spell. Pretty powerful and sucks things in. 800 kills is not a lot for a caster btw. Kroak does this afk...

Bright wizards with burning skull or a vc with winds of death also rack up kills.

that would be the lore of death right? or lore of shadow i dont remember yeah its very strogn

Lore of stealth has a suck vortex which i think hurricaine was speaking about. Though imo plague still has the edge lore wise for skaven imo - the mix of poison, summons and both a chaff slaying breath and a stationary AP vortex is too good
