Those who achieve champion status will eliminate anyone they see as competition, butchering any promising underlings to ensure their continued station in their Godβs hordes. As a result, many form their own warbands until they achieve their goals or meet their end by the blade of a rival. Those on this long and often doomed path are obsessed individuals, only recalling the most pertinent details of their past, and many assume new identities to replace those lost to them. == Attributes == {{wh_dlc06_chs_inf_aspiring_champions_0 bulletpoints}} == [[File:Icon unit upgrade.png]] Warband Upgrades == === [[File:Button upgrade undivided.png|45px]] Undivided === *[[Chaos Spawn (Warriors of Chaos)|Chaos Spawn]] *Cost: [[File:Icon treasury favour.png|link=Favour]] 300 == Strategy == A niche unit on the Chaos roster, they are useful for providing a bit of added support and backbone to a Chaos frontline. Perhaps best if you are using Marauders or Chaos Warriors who are not the strongest units in the game. They have strong melee stats and have magic damage, but err on the defensive side with little armour piercing damage. Their [[encourage]] aura will help keep allies in the fight, especially if your lord is focused on a cavalry or monster fight (Archaon or Kholek). ''The following strategy applies only in [[The Old World]] and [[Mortal Empires]] campaigns:'' *They have [[File:Attribute guerrilla deploy.png]] [[Vanguard Deployment]], so can be used at some cheeky off angles, but they will most likely get picked off and isolated unless they are supported by another unit. If one wanted to use them in a rush build, I suppose their vanguard would help then, but that is a bold strategy. The champions are capable of hitting multiple enemies, not only can they be used to bolster morale of a frontline but are able to chew through enemies as well with magic attack makes them a counter to physical resistant units. They also have a high health pool to compensate for their low numbers so they are capable of giving a isolated lord or hero some trouble or even be able to outright destroy them. In [[Total War: Warhammer III|Warhammer III]] with the WoC rework, the Aspiring Champion was change quite a bit. First, they have lost [[File:Attribute guerrilla deploy.png]] Vanguard Deployment secondly their [[File:Health character.png]] Health was increased quite significantly from 3808 to 9856 but the most important change is that out all the units in the WoC roster they benefit the most from researching technologies in the [[Warriors of Chaos tech tree]] due to certain technologies granting them abilities, passive abilities and attributes making them incredibly strong. For example the Aspiring Champions from an Undivided faction can gain the following when specific techs are researched: *[[File:Wh main unit passive frenzy.png|24px]] [[Frenzy]] *[[File:Modifier icon poison.png]] [[Poison!|Poison]] attacks *[[File:Attribute immune to psychology.png]] [[Immune to Psychology]] *[[File:Attribute ignore forest penalties.png]] [[Strider]] *[[File:Barrier.png]] Barrier *[[File:Attribute causes fear.png]] [[Causes Fear|Cause Fear]] *[[File:Attribute fatigue immune.png]] [[Perfect Vigour]] *[[File:Wh3 main unit passive hellblade.png|24px]] [[Hellblade]] *[[File:Wh main unit passive regeneration.png|24px]] [[Regeneration]] *[[File:Wh3 main character abilities gate of tzeentch.png|24px]] [[Gate of Tzeentch]] *[[File:Wh3 main unit passive soul hunters.png|24px]] [[Soul Hunters]] The God-aligned sub factions tech trees can give them specific abilities that are only available to those factions. {{Navbox Warriors of Chaos units}}
