Editing Vilitch the Curseling (section)

==[[Total War: WARHAMMER|Total War: Warhammer 3]]==
Vilitch and Thomin are back as Tzeentch's representative in the Champions of Chaos DLC where he will be racing the champions of the other gods to the lost city of Zanbaijin to capture the souls within. His campaign borrows some mechanics from Kairos' campaign, as befits a follower of Tzeentch. He has a somewhat weakened variant of the Changing of the Ways, as well as the Tzeentchian Teleport stance.

In battle, Vilitch has a passive ability called Twisted Twin. The more he casts spells or is in melee combat, the better he gets at both casting spells and melee combat.

His AI is something well worthy of Tzeentch, as he has a penchant for using his unique Changing of the Ways ability, Spawnify, on random armies. He will just randomly give your army 3 Chaos Spawn of Tzeentch, refuse to elaborate, and leaves. This ability is MEANT to be used on his own armies, but the AI missed that part. Said Spawn don’t do anything either, regardless of whether you're a chaos faction or not - the only real downside is that as a non-chaos faction, you can’t buff them or reduce upkeep with research and such. Do note this is totally random, even if you're his enemy there’s still a chance he’ll give you some. Just as planned(?)

He also routinely breaks the Fourth Wall on the campaign map.

In the Immortal Empires campaign, he has inherited Kairos's old job of victimizing Cathay, since Kairos is busy on his vacation plan in the Southlands.

He is also one of the strongest lords of his faction, barring Kholek, even at melee, because of the way his barrier works. Basically it recharges while casting. And his quest item also improves this. To the point that Vilitch is a great anti infantry lord, and he is only brought down by duelists, and he has the tools to bring them down, or cripple them. Not bad for a little runt.

And all of this is not even considering the rest of his army. Honestly Cathay can't beat Vilitch in a straight fight, just because between his Norscan vassals, the fact that he just has a good army, or maybe now you can actually colonize the gates, preventing recapture, Cathay just has nothing going for them, except taking a page from the Skaven book and play the numbers game.
