Grand Cathay war machine unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III.
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Celestial Observatory
Description[]
A Wu Xing Compass is a smaller version of the great Compass of Wei-jin. Crafted to resonate with the Elemental Winds, it helps the Wizards of Grand Cathay control and direct the Winds of Magic, strengthening or weakening them for the benefit of their armies. Mounted on a specially-designed chariot-platform, the Compass is drawn into battle alongside the Celestial Dragon’s armies, a Court Scribe of the Celestial Court tending to its intricate mechanisms. Properly manipulated, the Wu Xing Compass can unleash the Elemental Wind of Azyr, assailing the enemies of Cathay with lightning bolts, storm winds or even a devastating rain of meteors.

Strategy[]
This oddity is worth considering if you have crafted a magic-heavy army to further augment it. It is best kept behind your infantry lines since it's not great at defending itself, and since its spells can't be upgraded they can be a little underwhelming. Ultimately it shines best used as a mount for an Astromancer.
