This skill gives you the chance to inflict extra damage with your melee weapon. Troops which have ignore pain are higher level orcs, all beastmen apart from ungors, higher level lizardmen, skaven troops from clan moulder and a few other individual troops. The higher your ironflesh, the more damage will be disregarded when you take a hit. Warhammer quest fans will recognise this skill and it is the ability to shrug off some of the blows you receive simply because you are that tough and don’t have time to bleed. Troops which have dodge are all elves, all halfings, all assassin lines in the game, all samurai and monk class troops, ninjas, higher level pirates, vampires, amazons and ghosts/banshees (to simulate their ethereal nature). The best dodge chance it is possible to achieve is 60% although this kind of chance is rare and associated with very experienced troops who wear very light to no armour.ĭodge chances against ranged weapons are reduced depending on the speed of the projectile, however investing in agility can help negate some of this penalty.

In order to maximise your dodge chance you need to invest in strength and athletics and have as low an encumberance as possible. This is a skill which gives a troop a chance to dodge any incoming attack. Regardless of race the player starts off with no abilities.Ĭombat abilities do not work in tournaments or the arena.Ĭombat abilities can be toggled on and off in the camp menu The ability to purchase abilities for your companions will be introduced in a later release but some companions do already come with their own pre assigned abilities. Not every troop has a combat ability and some races are more associated with some abilities over others but as a player you will be able to purchase 3 of them from the arena master (price for each varies depending on your race). In the new version of warsword we have introduced combat abilities which will have significant influence on how battles play out and hopefully add a whole new tactical edge on how the player as a commander utilises their troops for maximum success.
