A most evil Sorcerer, known for tormenting his foes by ensuring that death only comes to them after great suffering.

Kihar the Tormentor is a World Walkers Norsca Unique Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with Norsca (DLC).

Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

Those champions of Chaos who seek mastery over the magical arts are known as Chaos Sorcerers, and they are madmen and malcontents all. They are amongst the most awful and depraved of all servants of the Ruinous Powers, for they long ago sold their souls in exchange for the heady elixir of pure power. Where many of the world's Wizards, such as those taught by the Colleges of Magic in Altdorf, glean their arcane skill from long years of painstaking research, a Chaos Sorcerer's understanding of the Winds of Magic is often instant and innate. Without the patience and wisdom that such study brings, an inexorable descent into deformity and madness is nigh on inevitable.

Talent Tree[ | ]

Strategy[ | ]

The following applies only to the Mortal Empires or The Old World campaigns:

A good dragon-mounted caster for Norsca with regeneration. He gets dual passives of Kindleflame and Metalshifting with each cast, however he does not bring Burning Head or Firestorm so his Kindleflame is just for fireballs and units buffed with fire damage. His main damage spells are from Lore of Shadows (Pit of Shades and Pendulum) giving good options for different target shapes. He also brings relatively spammable buffs and debuffs with good synergy. As a Chaos Sorceror, he is decently armored and can get some good fighting value with his dragon in addition to his spellcasting. Finally, he brings the handy Block Army function.
