Description
A towering figure clad in Enhanced Blighted Full Plate, the Warlord of the Scourged Order is a master of both brute strength and battlefield command. They are the field generals of the Order, orchestrating attacks, leading Blighted legions, and inspiring dread in all who oppose them. A Warlord’s Blighted Command Aura enhances all Blighted creatures around them, making them deadlier in combat and more resistant to divine magic.
Armed with a massive Blighted Greatsword, they cleave through enemy ranks with devastating force. Their Blighted Shockwave sends corrupting energy surging through the battlefield, knocking enemies prone while weakening their resistance to further attacks. Unlike lesser warriors, Warlords have a strategic mind, capable of adapting to changing battle conditions and outmaneuvering enemy forces.
As legendary leaders within the Scourged Order, Warlords have earned their place through centuries of warfare, having long abandoned their former lives to become perfect instruments of the Blighted Hivemind. Their presence alone can turn the tide of battle, and wherever they march, destruction follows.
