Last Lords

Consul Myerte Tyabana in a Throne Room

Description

Arriving on Saiadha with a handful of functioning Lords and a crypt of Lords' souls, Consul Tyabana aims to leave behind the traumas of Auriga on this new world. Escaping Auriga before it became an icy tomb, the Last Lords set a destination across the stars for Saiadha—a world believed to be endless sun-scorched deserts laden with Dust. Upon arrival, Saiadha's brutal oceans were a rude awakening for the knights, who still clung to the tatters of their chivalrous code. Most are only engrams awaiting their great suits of armor, but Consul Tyabana hopes not just for reanimation, but renaissance.

The Last Lord Units before Specialization

Last Lords heavily rely on Leeching Strike and Gift of the Fallen to heal their Units at the start. Players have to be careful to outheal the damage taken in battle, as Dust healing can only be used within friendly territories.

Farming Minor Factions is highly recommended for that purpose. A large amount of Dust can also be earned that way through battle spoils.

Last Lords lack any Cavalry and variety in Ranged Units, instead choosing to debuff Enemy Units using Heroes and Dust Lords with Terror.

The Palanquin is a powerful Ranged Units that can use its Ranged attacks to heal adjacent frontline Units, further Upgrades adding AoE attacks for more Damage and more Healing for your own Units.
