Editing The Red Duke (section)

==Total War Warhammer==

The Red Duke also makes an appearance in Total War Warhammer as a unique Vampire Counts lord unit. He leads the Mousillon faction in The Old World and Mortal Empires campaigns but is not playable unless you confederate his faction as one of the other Vampire Counts, or use a mod. He is available for multiplayer, however. He can cast from the lore of Vampires, rides either a Hell Steed, a zombie dragon, or a barded Nightmare, and comes with a Scroll of Leaching special item and a Potion of Strength. Stats wise he gains a bit of melee defense compared to other Vampire Lords, a small bump to overall damage making him a Melee expert, and a shield at the cost of not having a bonus vs. infantry meaning he's best suited to being a duelist that deals with enemy heroes. However, the biggest difference is that rather than being locked into one choice for the Black Knight or Grave Guard boosting ability lines he may instead take all abilities from both branches offering him incredible durability and army boosts. He's armored and shielded so he can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage. He causes fear, has an ability that encourages his troops, can hide in the forest, has the Foe-seeker, Hunger, and Frenzy special abilities, and has a unique special ability "El Syf" which is a Hex with a duration of 24 Seconds, a cooldown of 90 seconds, a range of 200m, and causes a 48% Speed reduction in enemy speed, a -40 to enemy Melee Defence and a -22% to enemy Physical resistance.
