Editing Total War Warhammer/Tactics/Grand Cathay (section)

===Legendary Lords===
Cathay has a tech unlockable banner that gives 20% ward save, use this on your legendary of choice, if you take the sword of Slaanesh from the chaos realm you'll get another 20% ward save and tons of damage. Finally the jeweled dagger arcane item gives 25% ward save.enjoy being the toughest/deadliest lord in WH 3. Even Skarbrand cant compete with 70-80% ward save dragons who also cast spells. Unfortunately as of patch 2.2 they can only cast their one basic spell while in dragon form and not use most abilities (Lame....). you can easily stay transformed all the time if your willing to use a hero caser instead. cathay has two items, The Luminark lens (gives 40% fire weakness to enemies map wide) from caravans, and Catalytic kiln (gives a weak mortis engine effect and 22% more fire weakness around lord) get flaming attacks on your lord from beating kostalyn or an item or something and enjoy 62% more damage on everything.
*'''[[Miao Ying]], the Storm Dragon, ruler of the Northern Provinces and Commander of the Great Bastion.''': Daughter of the Dragon Emperor. Miss Cold and Aloof. She is in the north and is daddy's favorite. Can transform between human form where she buffs harmony and a big dragon to melee it up in battle. She will be able to use a hybrid of Life and Yin Magic: Including Earth Blood, Storm of Shadows, Flesh to Stone, Missile Mirror, Regrowth and Talons of Night, with both Lore Traits of Lifebloom and Power of Yin, which means she has basically all the best spells from both lore of life and yin. She has the Wrath of the Storm ability, which increases melee attack, makes attacks magical, and makes those affected immune to psychology. She also has the Disdain of Dragons ability, which lowers enemy melee attacks in a constant radius. She also has access to the Mirror Missile spell which is easily one of the most trollish spells in the entire game, you will never tire of watching the enemy's elite ranged units delete themselves when they fire with the hex activated. She is the only lord cathay has with non-bound healing spells, and regrowth is amazing on herself and terracotta sentinels. no inherent access to regeneration as a skill though, the von carstein blade item from caravans is perfect for her. She gets -50% upkeep to missile units, so bringing a stack almost full of celestial dragon crossbows is probably your best endgame option. Maybe bring 4-6 terracotta sentinels to defend them and support with her healing/provide harmony and you should be good to go on top of her own significant power.

*'''[[Zhao Ming]], the Iron Dragon, ruler of the Western Provinces and Lord of Shang-Yang''': Son of the Dragon Emperor, and a mama's boy. His faction is stated to focus on and specialize in Alchemists and Astronomers. Can transform between human form where he buffs harmony and a big dragon to melee it up in battle. He uses a hybrid of Metal and Yang magic, unfortunately his spell selection is kinda terrible, his only really great spells are final transmutation and breath of the dragon, and I guess wall of fire isn’t bad either but the rest are pretty weak. It feels like they purposely picked only the weakest spells from the lore of Yang to give him, he would have been great with jade shield and stone stance. The biggest issue is that constellation, dragons breath and wall of fire are all chaff killing spells, and he really doesn’t need 3 variants of the same thing. He gets regeneration, an AOE ward save aura (includes him), and can cast final transmutation with a discount which is very powerful for taking out the mass soulgrinders you face in the final campaign battle. He has large army wide buffs to armor and weapon damage. He has -25% upkeep for all yang units, so a basic endgame army for him is him plus at least one alchemist and probably an astromancer (each providing extra winds intensity, and the compass mount gives some free bound spells), maybe optional 1-2 longma riders and/or sky junks (though neither is that necessary), and the rest terracotta sentinels. He gets 100% magic item drop chance so your basically guaranteed to be able to fuse or find all the best magic items in the game.
