Legendary Lord character traits

Legendary Lord character traits are character traits which apply specifically to Legendary Lords. These traits are innate on the character and thus don't have to be earned through gameplay, unlike regular traits.

Another type of legendary lord trait is gained by defeating a specific legendary lord in battle. For those types of traits, see Legendary Lord defeat traits.

For the legendary lord traits in Total War: Warhammer II (both spawn traits and defeat/victory traits), please see this old version of the page.

List of innate traits

When legendary lords are spawned on the campaign map, they are bestowed with unique traits which are exclusive to them. Nobody else can obtain them and they cannot be lost either. The only way to get a legendary lord spawn trait is to own the relevant legendary lord.

Although the tables below compile the many traits alphabetically by race and by lord, you may sort by any header of your choosing.
