FACTIONS & THEIR PLAY-STYLES THE EMPIRE OF SOGA The Empire boasts the best military equipment, which will delight any commander. The Empire’s warriors and combatants are widely known for their martial prowess, and are heavily trained in physical combat. Their widely-available armor makes them the most resilient of the four dominant factions; they are sturdy enough to face mostly anything quite head-on. Because of this, the faction is the most straightforward in its playstyle, however, it truly shines under a capable command. Because the Empire’s models have the least magical support, their commander might have to be careful of some more unusual magical shenanigans.

Wizard

When casting a Spell of the Elder Element, a Wizard may Reroll up to 1 failed roll.
