Are Tomb Princes Any Good in Patch 5.2? - Tomb Kings Hero Unit Focus 

Also worth adding that lords have a trait - "Ptra the Great Father" - which boosts Tomb Prince recruitment rank by 2 levels. It stacks and still works if the lord is off the map. It's easy to recruit Tomb Princes at rank 49 by the mid-game if you're willing to level up enough lords.

Good hero, but that's to be expected. He's a linchpin unit like most Undead Heroes are for other factions, something you work your army around. Hardy and lethal when he's tricked out with some Mortuary Cult items, he has a role in pretty much any configuration. A foot Prince can tarpit a few units in artillery or archer range, and come out the otherside rehydrated by "tomato juice" or holding a flank to hunt down cavalry that's trying to wrap around to your vulnerable backline. A horse Prince is best hunting down cavalry actively, supporting the Skeleton and Nekahara Cav as they charge backline units. I don't use the Chariot lord as much as I do foot and horse variants, but he does make a good chaff mulcher on it. It's just you aren't really lacking in that role by the time you get the Chariot. Overall, I keep one in most *main* armies as I get them. Easier to use and much less likely to get sniped than the Necrotect, even if im convinced the Necro is better, so im more likely to reccomend you getting a ton of these fast. Plus, xp ranks help a lot for powerful units like Constructs, so Training is a valuable bonus. Less so for chaff, since you're recycling Skeleton spears and archers as fast as you get them, but it will help your Constructs last longer without having to replace them or stop and heal.

Big fan of these guys, i feel they are a little underrated. If you can get them with the Tough trait and give them Ourobouros (regen) from the mortuary cult they can do some serious work.

That's kind of interesting. I always found the tomb princes to be frustrating. Like their stats are just super low, compared to like the kind of creatures I'd want them to fight like other faction's heroes. And physical resistance isn't great against heroes and Lords because they're going to have magic weapons. Maybe I'll have to give them another look, and you gave me some ideas.

I never use chariot mounts in TWWH3… they just… my Slanesh exalted chariot I got in a summon army got stuck in Goblins (greenskins) In a rear charge as well… I almost always have my princesses on foot.

Great utility Hero. He needs more diverse mount options, like other TK Lords/Heros. Tomb Kings should get a heavier melee Chariot that would have more armor, do armor piercing damage and greater anti infantry bonus than Skeletal Chariot offers and this chariot should become a mount option for TP. Its absurd that an armor piercing Tomb Prince is ineffective against armored infantry with his current Mount options. I would also give him a Necroserpent as a mount for more HP and Armor but lower speed. CA should also incorporate TP multiplayer abilities into campaign- Blade of Setep lowers enemy Physical resistance by 20% and Armor by 30. This ability makes TP exponentially more powerful as a combatant and Lord/Monster sniper. It also synergizes really well with Tombstrike/Desertstrike by buffing the Base Damage. 10:49 10:49

I personally always hard farm for Chariot master tomb princes and use them to blend hostile infantry formations. Tomb kings anti infantry is acceptable at best until you get access to tomb scorpions and warsphinxes. However, a squadron of 2 to 3 ushabti, 2 chariot princes, and a chariot necrotect makes for a very nasty manoeuvre element for your armies that can rip apart a histile front line in seconds. I find that on foot they end up getting stunlocked too much to be usable in the antilarge role and on horseback they don't have enough mass to prevent them from getting bogged down in infantry and shot to shit. Not to mention that skeleton archers and ushabti great bows are far better in the anti large role than tomb princes anyway.

They're fine, but it will get more interesting if/when the Tomb Kings get a generic Caster Lord. Probably reasonable for Khatep though.

a nice hero, way less easy to kill by forgeting them in the melee unlick the necrotect, tough i prefer lefting them on foot
