The Fireborn (Dragon Princes)

The Fireborn (Dragon Princes) is a High Elves Regiments of Renown unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Queen and the Crone DLC. The mighty deeds of the Fireborn are spoken of in hushed tones by all the princes of Caledor.

Description
As royal bodyguards of the ruling Prince of Caledor, the noble Imrik, the Fireborn are the finest knights in a kingdom rightly famed for its peerless mastery of war. Their shields bear the image of Indraugnir, the legendary Dragon that bore Aenarion to battle, an honour bestowed upon them by Imrik himself after they slew the great Bloodthirster, Gorecleaver, and led the charge that shattered the dread legion of Shalthrak the Slaughterer.

The Fireborn ride into war wielding lances fit for their name, enchanted with wreathing flames.

Strategy
Regular Dragon Princes are deadly heavy cavalry with a devastating charge. They also have decent melee stats for shock cavalry and high armor. The Fireborn improve upon this by having a bonus vs. large and a 70% flame resistance. This makes them much more of an anti monster/anti cav unit as wlel as protects them from relatively niche fire damage. The Fireborn are one of the best shock cavalry units in the game and should be kept as healthy as possible when under your command.
