Strategy[ | ]
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% Spell and Missile Resistance which allows it to shrug off those damage types better. The Bloodshield of Khaine ability also provides 5% Physical Resistance around the unit, making it at least partially resistant to all kinds of damage.
