They have ever served as the handmaidens to the Ancients of Athel Loren, and attend to the Treemen with a dedication bordering upon the fanatical. Yet before the coming of the Elves, the Branchwraiths were so much more. In those days, it was they who ruled the forest and they who tamed the Winds of Magic to bring sustenance to bough and branch. Thusly, few Branchwraiths think kindly of the Elves, and many hate them - it matters not that [[Durthu]] brought the Elves into the forest precisely because he knew that the Branchwraiths' cruel nature would lead Athel Loren to great evil. Now the Branchwraiths watch and wait for the seasons to shift once again. One day soon, they believe, the usurpers will be cast down from their lofty perches and the natural order restored. == Attributes == *[[File:Wh dlc05 wef lore shadow.png]] '''Wizard''' {{Bulletpoint spellcaster}} {{Bulletpoint forest spirit}} {{Bulletpoint damage dealer}} {{Bulletpoint vanguard deployment}} == Spells == ''The Branchwraith has access to a mix of spells from the [[Lore of Life]] and [[Lore of Shadows]]:'' *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell shadow melkoths mystifying miasma.png|38px]] [[Lore_of_Shadows#Melkoth's_Mystifying_Miasma|Melkoth's Mystifying Miasma]] *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell shadow the penumbral pendulum.png|38px]] [[Lore_of_Shadows#The_Penumbral_Pendulum|The Penumbral Pendulum]] *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell shadow the withering.png|38px]] [[Lore_of_Shadows#The_Withering|The Withering]] *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell life awakening of the wood.png|38px]] [[Lore_of_Life#Awakening_of_the_Wood|Awakening of the Wood]] *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell life earth blood.png|38px]] [[Lore_of_Life#Earth_Blood|Earth Blood]] *[[File:Wh dlc05 spell life shield of thorns.png|38px]] [[Lore_of_Life#Shield_of_Thorns|Shield of Thorns]] == Campaign Abilities == === Embed Hero === *[[File:Replenishment.png]] Replenish Troops === Constant Local Effect === *[[File:Growth.png]] Stimulate Growth === Target === *'''Settlement''' *[[File:Siege attack.png]] Damage Walls *'''Hero''' *[[File:Wound time.png]] Wound *'''Army''' *[[File:Campaign movement.png]] Block Army == Character Abilities == *[[File:Wh dlc05 hero passive blessing of the ancients.png]] [[Blessing of the Ancients]] *[[File:Wh dlc05 lord passive call of the woods.png]] [[Call of the Woods]] *[[File:Wh main character passive evasion.png]] [[Evasion (ability)|Evasion]] <small>(campaign only)</small> *[[File:Wh main character abilities foe seeker.png|38px]] [[Foe-Seeker]] *[[File:Wh main character abilities deadly onslaught.png|38px]] [[Deadly Onslaught]] <small>(campaign only)</small> *[[File:Wh dlc05 lord passive howl of the forest.png]] [[Howl of the Forest]] <small>(campaign only)</small> *[[File:Wh main item abilities scroll of shielding.png|38px]] [[Scroll of Shielding (ability)|Scroll of Shielding]] <small>(multiplayer only)</small> *[[File:Wh dlc05 lore passive smoke and mirrors small.png]] [[Smoke & Mirrors]] *[[File:Wh magic item passive enchanted.png]] [[The Other Trickster's Shard (ability)|The Other Trickster's Shard]] <small>(multiplayer only)</small> == Items (Multiplayer) == *[[File:Wh main anc arcane item.png|39px]] [[Scroll of Shielding]] *[[File:Wh main anc enchanted item.png|39px]] [[The Other Trickster's Shard]] == Talent Tree == *[https://totalwarhammerplanner.com/planner/vanilla3/wef_wood_elves/wef_branchwraith Skill Tree on TotalWarhammerPlanner] == Strategy == {{Strategy}} The Branchwraith is a strong anchor to a Wood Elves frontline. Not because they are an incredibly dangerous combatant, but the utility they offer greatly increases combat effectiveness. One of their abilities is a bonus to melee attack in a radius which helps Eternal Guard and Dryads do more damage to their foes, bolstering the usually defensive frontline. In Multiplayer, Branchwraiths will often be brought as the only spellcaster because their mix of life and shadow magic brings a lot of utility to the battle. Earth Blood to heal key units like [[Waywatchers]] or [[Wild Riders]], Shield of Thorns to protect them, Pendulum to give destroy enemy infantry, or Melkoth's to slow down and damage fast moving targets. {{Navbox Wood Elves units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer units]] [[Category:Realm of the Wood Elves units]] [[Category:Wood Elves units]] [[Category:Wood Elves hero units]] [[Category:Wood Elves spellcasters]] [[Category:Total War: Warhammer heroes]] [[Category:Forest Spirits]]
