Woldwrath

Woldwraths stand as towering monuments to the woldcrafter art, meant to tap into and unbind the ultimate fury of Orboros. Brought to life amid strenuous, blood-fueled rituals conducted atop powerful conjunctions of ley lines, woldwraths channel the vast energies that flow within the earth. Their tempestuous assaults are prefaced by voltaic flickers that play along darkening clouds above and the pulsing runes inscribed across their stone forms.

Thoughts on Woldwrath

Woldwrath in a nutshell

The Woldwrath does exactly what it looks like it should. It's large, and it smashes things into a paste. It also produces a large lightning template when shooting. If this sounds good ... it's because it is. And the enemy struggles to debuff the Woldwrath the way other gargantuans get debuffed.

Combos & Synergies

• Baldur the Stonesoul - an ARM buff and allowing it to charge for free are both great things for the Woldwrath
• Any caster that can buff the Damage or the ARM of the Woldwrath helps him.
• Argus Moonhound can remove Stealth and provide a hit-buff
• All of the offensive magic users, namely Druids of Orboros, Druid Mist Riders, Blackclad Stoneshapers, and Blackclad Wayfarers. Geomancy spells also benefit from the effect.
• The Strength buff from the Blackclad Stoneshaper means his hitting power gets turned up to crazy levels.
• Chuck Dogwood passively grants a +1 to attack rolls and likes something he can hide behind, puppet master is also great on the Woldwrath’s first attack to guarantee the knockdown.
• Shivers - sure a shield guard is great for those shots with various effects tied to them - but what is even better is sticking him the other side of the battlefield and getting another cast of Druids Wrath thanks to Mimicry.
• Kromac2 - He loves a STR 16 warbeast for the purpose of casting Primal Shock. With the animus the Shock will have an extra attack die, too.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• As with all Gargantuans, expensive it costs even 1 point more than 2 Woldwardens and a Wold Wight
  • which is often more tactically versatile due to geomancy.
• Storm Raptor gets more work done individually but costs even more. This model is more of an anchor that can take a beating
• If 2 aspects are gone, rolling a 1 on Hyper Regeneration can be disastrous. Unless he is playing in Bones of Orboros of course.

Tricks & Tips

• He makes a really good wall for blocking line of sight to squishy casters. And with all the movement schenanigans Circle can pull off, the caster can walk out, do their thing, then teleport behind him again.
• Warlocks benefit from his animus. 4 dice to hit can be huge for getting a debuff onto an enemy caster for an assassination run.
• even if you can hit reliably lots of blackclad solos have a Crit knockdown effect on 1 of their spells
