Total War: WARHAMMER III - Dechala – Tides of Torment

Description

The Dechala the Denied One DLC pack introduces the Slaaneshi champion as a playable Legendary Lord for Immortal Empires and Custom Battles. Starting in the Hidden Landing of the Cathayan Hinterlands, Dechala leads The Tormentors with a cruelly decadent and aggressively mobile playstyle.

For centuries, Dechala has waged an unending war of pain and pleasure. More Daemonic serpent than human, her sinuous body rises to a six-armed torso, each hand wielding a sword in a blur of killing strokes. Combining beauty and horror, she embodies Slaanesh’s essence, inspiring her followers to enforce her will with zeal and cruelty.

Unique mechanic: Pillars of Cruelty

Captured settlements convert into:

• Thrall Camp: generates Thralls and resources, though productivity wanes as they deplete.
• Tormentor’s Hold: enables recruitment, infrastructure, and defence.
• Pleasure Palace: Major Settlement option, requiring Thralls but granting advanced recruitment and economy buildings.

Unique mechanic: Decadence

Dechala’s actions raise Decadence, expanding Pleasure Palaces and unlocking powers. Benefits: Slaanesh boons (temporary buffs), Corruption of enemy units before battle, and Daemonic Attraction for instantly recruitable Daemons. She may also sacrifice Thralls for In Praise of Slaanesh, an area-damage ability summoning an enhanced Spawn of Slaanesh.

Unique mechanic: Tormentor’s Tributes

Through Decadence, Dechala selects powerful rewards:

• Marks of Vindictiveness: temporary battle buffs
• Opulent Gifts: unique ancillaries
• Exquisite Spoils: rituals with campaign benefits
