The Cauldron of Blood is a large chariot which has buff and debuff auras, similar to a Mortis Engine. It does good damage against infantry. But do remember that being a large chariot, it also means they have a larger hitbox, making it easier to be destroyed with ranged units and more vulnerable to anti-large units.

Notably, it provides an innate 25% Resistance magic Spell and Resistance missile Missile Resistance which allows it to shrug off those damage types better. The Wh2 main unit passive bloodshield of khaine Bloodshield of Khaine ability also provides 5% Resistance physical Physical Resistance around the unit, making it at least partially resistant to all kinds of damage.
