War Bear Riders are a 
Kislev melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III.
Recruitment[]
Kislev
- Unlocked with: Ur-Szalas
- Kislev Expedition
- Unlocked with: Bear Den
Description[]
Just as the people of Kislev worship Ursun, Bear-God of the Motherland, so too do they respect his kin which dwell in the wild lands and forests. These are no slave beasts to be whipped or abused – their riders honour them, and they return this honour. Only in this way can man and bear join their might to drive the hated slaves of Chaos howling back into the oblast.
Attributes[]
- Bear Cavalry
- ▲ Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
Unit Abilities[]
Passive Abilities[]
Strategy[]
War bear riders are the pinnacle of Kislevite mounted forces and are considered melee cavalry rather than shock cavalry. Fewer in number, slower, and with a weaker charge than Kislevite horse units, bear cavalry are better at sustained combat, particularly against other cavalry or larger opponents.
