TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER 3 Second Champion Of Chaos Announced

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, and fans of not being covered in plague and grossness would do well to heed those words. The newest member of the Champions of Chaos, the upcoming lord pack for Total War: Warhammer 3 has been revealed as Festus The Leechlord. Doctor Festus is a deranged devotee of Nurgle who has given himself completely to the grotesque Plague God in exchange for secret knowledge and time to further his studies of sickness and plagues. Maybe skip this doctor’s appointment…

Festus has the ability to concoct a variety of potions and utilizes the Lore of Nurgle spells in combat, utilizing his mortal strengths as a lord of Chaos. While his Healing Elixers ability will heal his own troops, the Harbinger of Pestilence ability will deal damage to his foes. The catch is that only one can be active at a time. Managing your foul potions will be key to victory. Along with his combat abilities, Festus can brew plagues, gain extra souls when a plague is spread while increasing the duration, and the vassals of the mad plague doctor get poison attacks and spread Nurgle corruption

Check out the trailer for Festus the Leechlord below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments! Total War: Warhammer 3 is available on PC via Steam, Game Pass, and Epic Games Store now, and Champions of Chaos will be arriving on August 23rd.
