Turns objectives you control into a debuff engine against a chosen enemy wizard or priest, shutting down their casting and chanting.

Frenzied Devotees rewards holding objectives by letting you cripple an enemy caster. You target an enemy wizard or priest and roll for each objective you control, subtracting from their casting and chanting on successes. It pairs board control with magic denial. Confirm the exact thresholds in your battletome.
What the formation does
Pick an enemy wizard or priest, then roll a dice per objective you control; each success (around 3+) subtracts 1 from that caster's casting and chanting rolls. The more of the board you hold, the harder you shut down their magic and prayers.
Who it suits
Players who already want to play the objective game and expect to face strong magic or prayer armies. It converts map dominance directly into caster suppression.
Key units
- Cheap horde infantry to grab and hold multiple objectives
- Fast Khinerai and Doomfire Warlocks to contest additional points
- Your own Hag Queens and wizards to win the magic/prayer battle once the enemy is debuffed
When to pick it
Pick it into caster-reliant opponents, and on missions with several objectives so your dice pool is large. Weaker against low-magic armies where the debuff has little to bite on.
Common questions
Does the debuff hit all enemy casters?
As aggregated it targets one chosen enemy wizard or priest at a time. Check the current wording for how targeting and duration work.
Do I need to hold objectives for it to work?
Yes, its strength scales with the number of objectives you control, so it rewards an objective-forward playstyle.
