Total War: WARHAMMER Wiki


Charge Defence vs. Large is an attribute introduced in Total War: Warhammer. A unit with this attribute is able to negate the Charge Bonus of any Large unit while bracing.

Description[]

When bracing, this unit negates the charge bonus of any large attacker.

Overview[]

Charge Defence vs. Large allows typically Polearm/Halberd units to resist a charge from an attacker that is roughly the size of a horse or more, and completely negate it's charge bonus damage, meaning they can effectively lock shock cavalry and chariots who are reliant on cycle charges into a battle they will likely lose. Units with these attributes typically are armed with spears or halberds, they also usually have the vs Large stat, allowing them to swiftly slay large beasts and cavalry, making them exceptional frontline troops against stuff like Monsters or Monstrous Infantry.
