Strategy[ | ]

This ability works in parallel with Strength in Numbers. When a Skaven unit has high health they have higher Leadership and defensive stats, but move slower. When their Leadership and health are low, they gain effectively a 24% speed boost.

You can use this ability to make your Skaven units hide in other positions, so they can ambush enemy units who try to hunt them down.

However, this speed boost can also prove to be a determent. Because this ability only activates when a Skaven unit is wavering or lower, fleeing Skaven units can exit the map far faster than other races and thus will be less likely to rally and return back to the fight.
