The Oracles of Tzeentch is a playable faction in Lord's army in Total War: Warhammer III. Kairos also allows Tzeentch players to unlock unique items that can be used to customize Kairos' spell selection.
When playing as the Oracles of Tzeentch, Warhammer III fans should bear in mind that the faction and its units excel in magic and ranged combat at the cost of high fragility. Therefore, keeping battle fodder like Blue Horrors at the front of the line while keeping the main DPS units like spellcasting Cultists in the back is optimal for victory.
Regarding campaign map gameplay, Tzeentch players should utilize their unique world-affecting abilities: Changing of the Ways and Winds of Magic Manipulation. Changing of the Ways allows fans to acquire multiple settlements without engaging in combat. The Winds of Magic grants an option to adjust the Tzeentch's magic in different regions in Total War. Likewise, the faction's most active areas are where the magic should be attuned to be highest. Be sure to preserve enough Grimoires to employ these abilities at the opportune moments during a campaign.
How To Play Oracles of Tzeentch In Total War: Warhammer 3
When in combat, players want to focus on using their ground units to aggro the enemy and keep them distracted. During this time, use Kairos Fateweaver to buff the army and cast AoE abilities to deal massive damage. Then, prioritize taking down ranged and flying enemies to allow the player's airborne Oracles of Tzeentch to attack with maximum efficiency. A good matchup in combat for the Tzeentch would be the sluggish Poxmakers of Nurgle. On the other hand, going against high mobility opponents such as the Seducers of Slaanesh would undoubtedly be devasting for the Oracles in battle. Optimal Total War: Warhammer III units for combat would be Flamers of Tzeentch, Doom Knights of Tzeentch, and Exalted Lord of Change.
As mentioned above, the Oracles of Tzeentch in Total War: Warhammer III are "magical glass cannons." They can become extremely powerful when buffed by Kairos and the Winds of Magic, yet the faction is highly vulnerable to their lack of formidable defenses. Therefore, having strong diplomatic ties with other coalitions is recommended during a campaign. Moreover, utilize the Tzeentch's Unholy Manifestations before making a significant move or to keep enemies at bay.
Total War: Warhammer III is available on PC.
