Glade Captain

Glade Captain is a Wood Elves Hero unit introduced for free in The Twisted and the Twilight. It is available through Total War Access only if you own Total War: Warhammer I and II as well as either Realm of the Wood Elves or The Twisted and the Twilight

Description
Infiltrating enemy battle lines and sowing disruption in their wake, a Glade Captain's initiative enables them to strike opportunistic blows.

Attributes

 * Guided Projectile: The projectile fire by this unit can hone in on its target.
 * ↑ Forest Stalker: The Elves of Athel Loren gain bonuses to melee defence and accuracy while fighting within the forest.
 * ↑ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.


 * ↑ Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.

Mounts

 * Elven Steed (Wood Elves)
 * Great Stag
 * Great Eagle (mount)

Abilities

 * Dance of Loec
 * Deadly Onslaught

Items

 * Horn of Isha

Strategy
Anti-large Handmaiden of the Everqueen. Where the Waystalker is the armour-piercing ranged assassin hero and the Branchwraith is the offensive melee support hero, the Glade Captain is the defensive anti-large melee hero.
