Grand Cathay Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III.

Description[]
Over the centuries, the Celestial Dragon’s nine Dragon children have themselves had children, born of mortal men and women. These mortal offspring of the Dragons are known as the Dragon-blooded. In time, these mortal children have themselves become the progenitors of entire dynasties, their people able to trace their ancestry back to the Celestial Dragon himself. While the Dragon-blooded remain relatively rare, there are still many thousands of them in Cathay. Given their lineage and the power that comes with it, the Dragon-blooded typically rise to positions of authority, as important rulers or magistrates in the lands controlled by their forefathers and mothers.

Strategy[]
Although their stats are suggestive of a hybrid fighter and caster, Shugengans are painfully squishy and unless handed a lot of support should be kept out of sustained combat where possible. Duelists and SEMs will target her, so keeping a unit of spears or SEM bodyguard in reserve near her is a useful tactic. A Gate Master is a much more useful hero choice for her army than the other two.
Yang is somewhat less useful than Yin overall, however the Yang variant comes with a bound cast of Earth Blood, currently the only way outside of Miao Ying for Cathay armies to use healing, which is undeniably useful.
