The hydra has a fire breath attack that for some reason cannot be used in melee combat, likely for game balance. Rakarth begins the campaign with the standard infantry units, ranged units, and artillery. The Best Units for Rakarth in Total War: Warhammer II RakarthвЂ™s army can require a lot of micromanagement, which becomes easier when the player has units to hold the line.

The easiest way to win fights at the beginning of the campaign might be to auto-resolve battles until the player can recruit or capture better units. He is a support character who makes beasts stronger.

Rakarth is not bad in melee combat, but heвЂ™s no Grimgor or Tyrion. Therefore, it is difficult to protect his more vulnerable units, such as the bolt throwers, archers, and even Rakarth himself. The local Norscan faction which inhabits the island has a lot of infantry, and Rakarth does not. The beginning of the campaign can be a little rough, especially on harder difficulties. This is the same for both the Eye of the Vortex and the Mortal Empires campaign. Rakarth begins the game on the mist-shrouded island of Albion. Raiding, fighting, capturing enemy strongholds, and completing quests are all ways to capture monsters. Feral Manticores can be captured by raiding in regions with high chaos corruption. For example, Harpies can be captured after a battle with high casualties (they act as fantasy vultures). Each unit has certain conditions required to capture it. The player can then instantly recruit them into their army, provided they can pay the recruitment fee. When Rakarth manages to capture a monstrous unit, they go into his monster pens. He will travel across the land, searching far and wide for monsters to add to his army. To catch them is his real quest, to enslave them is his cause. Rakarth does this too, but his main focus is on monsters.

One of the major aspects of the dark elf faction is their ability to capture slaves to supplement their empire. Dark elves are known for being cruel and merciless, and who better to portray a character like this? Rakarth certainly sounds menacing. Fun fact: Rakarth is voiced by Iwan Rheon, known for playing Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones.
