In the [[campaign]], he leads '''{{The Dreadfleet faction}}'''. ==Description== Count Noctilus, once known as Nyklaus von Carstein of Sylvania, was drawn to the maelstrom at the heart of the ocean to feast upon its dark magic. He performed a mighty ritual to transport himself, his castle and all his undead minions there to the Galleonβs Graveyard, a mystical place where wrecks and hulks of the seas are drawn. Reborn as Count Noctilus, he raised the shattered remains of sunken warships to form the hull of the Bloody Reaver and ride the waves of the mortal seas once more. == Attributes == {{wh2_dlc11_cst_inf_count_noctilus_0 bulletpoints}} == Spells == ''Count Noctilus has access to a mix of spells from the [[Lore of Shadows]] and [[Lore of Vampires]]:'' *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell shadow melkoths mystifying miasma.png|38px]] [[Melkoth's Mystifying Miasma]] *[[File:Wh main spell vampires invocation of nehek.png|38px]] [[Invocation of Nehek]] *[[File:Wh2 dlc11 spell vampires drowned dead.png|38px]] [[Lore of Vampires#Drowned Dead|Drowned Dead]] *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell shadow the withering.png|38px]] [[The Withering]] *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell shadow pit of shades.png|38px]] [[Pit of Shades]] *[[File:Wh main spell vampires wind of death.png|38px]] [[Wind of Death]] == Character Abilities == === Active Abilities === *[[File:Wh2 dlc11 army abilities wraith storm.png|38px]] [[Wraith Storm]] ==== Campaign only ==== *[[File:Wh2 dlc11 character abilities avast ye.png|38px]] [[Avast Ye!]] *[[File:Wh2 dlc11 character abilities all hands hoay.png|38px]] [[All Hands Hoay!]] *[[File:Wh2 dlc11 character abilities taunt.png|38px]] [[Taunt]] *[[File:Wh2 dlc11 character abilities hornswaggle.png|38px]] [[Hornswaggle]] === Passive Abilities === *[[File:Wh main character abilities arcane conduit.png|38px]] [[Arcane Conduit]] *[[File:wh_main_unit_passive_unstable.png]] [[Crumbling]] *[[File:wh_main_unit_passive_unstable_mark_ii.png]] [[Disintegrating]] *[[File:Wh main lord passive the hunger.png]] [[The Hunger]] *[[File:Wh main lore passive the curse of undeath small.png]] [[Lore of Vampires#The Curse of Undeath|The Curse of Undeath]] *[[File:wh_dlc05_lore_passive_smoke_and_mirrors.png]] [[Smoke & Mirrors]] *[[File:wh3_main_unit_passive_single_entity.png]] [[Wounds]] ==== Campaign only ==== *[[File:Wh main character passive evasion.png]] [[Evasion (ability)|Evasion]] *[[File:Wh main unit passive regeneration.png]] [[Regeneration]] === Item Abilities === *[[File:Wh2 dlc11 item abilities captain roths moondial.png|38px]] [[Captain Roth's Moondial (ability)|Captain Roth's Moondial]] == Unique Items == *[[File:Wh main anc weapon.png|39px]][[Captain Roth's Moondial]] == Mounts == *[[File:Mount necrofex.png|38px]][[Necrofex Collossus (mount)|Necrofex Collossus]] == Ship == *Noctilus' ship is called '''The Bloody Reaver''' with the unique [[Sylvanian Battlements]]. == Campaign starting units == === Eye of the Vortex & Mortal Empires === [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_depth_guard.png|50px|link=Depth Guard]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_zombie_deckhands.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Deckhands Mob]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_zombie_deckhands.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Deckhands Mob]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_zombie_gunnery_mob.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Gunnery Mob]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_zombie_gunnery_mob.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Gunnery Mob]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_necrofex_colossus.png|50px|link=Necrofex Colossus]] === Immortal Empires === [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_depth_guard.png|50px|link=Depth Guard]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_zombie_deckhands.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Deckhands Mob]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_zombie_deckhands.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Deckhands Mob]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_zombie_deckhands.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Deckhands Mob]] [[File:Wh2 dlc11 cst zombie gunnery mob handguns.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Gunnery Mob (Handguns)]] [[File:Wh2 dlc11 cst zombie gunnery mob handguns.png|50px|link=Zombie Pirate Gunnery Mob (Handguns)]] [[File:Wh2_dlc11_cst_necrofex_colossus.png|50px|link=Necrofex Colossus]] == Lord effects == *[[File:Military spending.png]] <span style="color:#A2FB3E">Upkeep: -20% for Necrofex Colossus units ([[File:Icon Army.png|22px]]Lord's army)</span> *[[File:Weapon damage.png]] <span style="color:#A2FB3E">Weapon strength: +15% for large units ([[File:Icon Army.png|22px]]Lord's army)</span> == Character traits == ===Personal trait=== [[File:Trait vampire coast.png]] '''Lord of Dread''': ''Count Noctilus abandoned Sylvania to become captain of the Dreadfleet and master of the Galleon's Graveyard;

This safehaven is the perfect spot to launch raids and battles from as well as a place to sneak into and heal between fights. Turn one you should immediately defeat the approaching elf army. With the remainder of your movement move to the edge of your regions territory. Lastly click on your lord and go to ship construction. Build the Offices Cabin (Main Building) as well as the Heavy Ballast (Anchor Icon) to get your growth up. Finish it up with setting your settlements commandment to "Dread the Sea". *From here on out its a simple roadmap with many different routes to take. I advice spending the next 40 turns raising/sacking settlements, building pirate coves, and leveling up your lord. the coast of Araby and Lustria work well for this. As well as upgrade your Cabin and Anchor for more growth. Focus research on Necrofex related research as well as income and banner/follower tech. Start with researching Salvage Crews then enduring reanimation. Next research the Command crews tree for its construction and income technology. When you complete the 4th upgrade for the cabin start building the Hull of the ship. Build the rest of it and about the same time your done building the tier 5 its time to take settlements. At around turn 40-50 recruit an army of Necrofex Colossus to take Vaul's Anvil. * Once taken stay in the settlement until you ensure the construction of Gallows and Walls. Use Slave pits and Totems to get corruption and income to the province at your will. Slowly take the province and focus on security rather than conquest. As the vampire coast conquest isn't as important as raiding and sacking settlements. At this point with your new strength attempt to gain ally ship with Luthor Harkon, Sartosa, and Naggarond to start a powerful trade and military relationship. You may attempt that last step earlier in the game. At this point keep Noctilus in Caledor for defense and raiding while you build the province and a side army. I recommend getting Burke Black from the Admiral tech tree. Once Burke has a strong balanced army send him to Caledor for protection. This will set you up for Noctilus to either conquer Ulthuan, Kill for the Sword of Khaine, or go crazy with pirate coves to rush the ending. Use these steps as a guide not a instruction sheet. There's many paths to success and multiple playthroughs will help hone and sharpen your understanding of his mechanics and the game. == Gallery == <gallery> Noctilus full hidden01.png|alt=Prior to reveal, we had this silhouette of Count Noctilus|Prior to reveal, we had this silhouette of Count Noctilus Bloody Reaver.png|Count Noctilus's ship, the Bloody Reaver Wh2 dlc11 cst noctilus.png </gallery> {{Navbox Vampire Coast units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer II legendary lords]] [[Category:Curse of the Vampire Coast units]] [[Category:Vampire Coast spellcasters]]
