A tier list of all Legendary Lord defeat traits for Total War: Warhammer 2.

"Pounding down on The Fay Enchantress with all of your lords can be really useful" - LegendofTotalWar 2021

Vlad's defeat trait is very useful if you are playing as...Vlad.
Purposefully reducing enemy faction leaders respawn time allows for easy harvesting of blood kisses.

Lizardmen dominating S tier but also having a lord in every single tier sums them up pretty well I think

So happy there are still ideas for Legend's tierlists. They are so enjoyable

[SereglothIV]

Mazdamundi, the oldest and most powerful being in the Warhammer world (well, out of those still alive). Archaon, the ultimate doom of the mortal realms. Both give useless traits to the ones who defeat them.

[Coerciveutopian]

The nice thing with Thorgrim's trait is having the -10% construction on your attacking lords because you often have to build things as soon as you capture cities.

[Achillez]

Fay Enchantress: (sobbing uncontrollably)
Lawyer: "Settle down, settle down. Now tell me, which lord bullied you?"
Fay Enchantress: "ALL OF THEM!" (cries even more)
Lawyer: "Looks like I have to give Legend of Total War a call..."

[tokoo]

I always thought that taking out Archaon should give a massive anti-chaos boost, like a faction wide 1 untainted/faction corruption.
He's the big bad of the whole endtimes and there is no reason to go after him unless you are trying to end the invasion.

[Lockerus]

Legend really living up to his name with this tier list.

[UndeadMongoose]

Helman Ghorst's trait deserves an honourary Z tier because his poison effect can potentially override WAY more useful contact effects like Morghur or Oxyotl's special poisons.

[hannibal]

I love how the card corners connect with each other

[kcneedles]

I hope Legend goes back and finishes his Legendary Lord power comparison series

Still think it’s hilarious that it’s basically essential for Imrik to stalk on his dragon. Isn’t Minaithnir meant to be one of the biggest dragons as well?

[Scorpion]

Oh man Morathi not in S.

idk maybe its just my play style but I spam the crap out of agents on legendary and spam their actions skills just to level them up at a consistent rate.

Once I get immortality I can use them as a front line defense force. Keep 19 of them close to a settlement on the front line, if an enemy comes close I can recruit a lord and pile all 19 of them to make a really powerful army for single turn defense.

I'll also park them in there just for the extra public boost

So with all that in mind Morathi is one of the few people I go out of my way to farm because eventually you can get 100% reduced cost and get free agent actions. Meaning that your heroes can basically get to level 40 free while disadvantaging the enemy.

Block Movement is incredibly underrated its the single best action skill in the game imo. Chaos invasions on legendary would be so much harder if I didn't have 20 agents spamming "block army" on all the Chaos stacks splitting their army into a conga line that's manageable.

Very useful list, good to have them all registered on the same video 👍

[PedroRodrigues-jexp]

Glad to see these tier lists haven't stopped :)

I would like to see this trait updated for wh3 with all the new lords, and they changed a few

[alirezarezaei]

One of the things that i do in order to gain blood kiss as vampires is to send vlad alone to fight small skaven clan faction leader in zufbar province and immediately withdraw him from the battlefield to give him the trait and from then after he will spawn every turn and kill him every turn so i can farm blood kisses by defeating that single lord it is very useful

[zharkabat]

The "+x magic winds reserve" should change to" -x magic wind reserve for your enemy" when you play as the dwarves
