      No can do on the Raid BS, I'm afraid. I know, bills have to be paid, but come on. Let's be serious here. RSL? Really? A dog turd wrapped in tin foil and sold as a fudge cake is more appealing. Having intercourse with a Nurgle cultist is more appealing. Even playing an Aranessa campaign in WH3 is more appealing. Go on, try it. It kind of sucks because everything about it is wrong, but I bet it's still way more fun than RSL, which does to your wallet what sticking a vacuum cleaner up your backside and turning it on does to your general sense of wellbeing.

      Dear Blake, good guide, but i think you forgot one strong tip for mid and late game. When you start Nkari on first turns you can burst your campaingh with recruiting 3 WOC lords, and on 20 + turns you will have 3 daemon prince. This tip can help you easily take ultuan with 3 additinal strong unit. You can also fired this lords after 15lvl if you want and recruit them after when you cultist army(called from cult in settlement) will take alone settlement in far corner on map. Thereby you can recruit 10 maradeurs+ and also add 1 or 2 local cultists hero for each demon prince. Then activate additional cultists army and expand on new provinces. When you master this possibilities, you will understand why slaanesh is A+ tier race. You can also can use this strategy without WOC addon, just recruit lord-daemoness and teach for them magic build. Sorry for my english, I tried to explain this strategy correctly.

      @@BlakesTakes420 But how's the progress after 30 hours? Not quite as fast now as it was 10-15 hours ago, is it? I've tried to play mobile grind games like that too, but your growth curve isn't really something you control. The randoms are too stacked.
      Then you fall more and more behind, and then the only way to keep up is to play a very long game of doing your dailies and weeklies without much reward or paying money.
      And of course, if one decides to push the dailies and weeklies, the hope of keeping up really only lasts until the next special event where a new power spike is released.
      Mind you, I haven't bothered with Raid specifically but the game design has been the same in every free to play mobile game I've played, and I would be exceptionally surprised if Raid was any different.
      You're pretty sharp. Are you really telling me that you're not seeing walls closing in on you in terms of how much you can progress without spending anything?

    Tbh i never understood people complaining about the lack of armoured units in the Slaaneshi Rooster. Sure, having that "anvil" makes it a lot easier but found out that playing slaanesh timing and patience is everything. The Deamonettes are the fastest infantry unit in the game and u can us them as ur "anvil" simply by feinting attacks. Basicly building a front line, moving towards the enemy line and then retreat, dragging the enemy lines apart, encircle them and then take them out piece by piece. Really love their playstyle and ofc great video :)

    For armies, I went for Cultist + other heroes stacks, I had four own armies, cultists won't ever die as their melee defence is 80 to 90 when leveled up. Use those to summon Disciple armies whenever you can, then use your allies to maximum effect and make them spawn disciple armies also. Use all your cultists to give the gift of slaanesh to all your allied armies, so they will generate devotees and corrupt the areas for you. After the tech which gives you 25 disciples per gift, you never run out of devotees. I didn't train any normal troops usually, just heroes, and chaff, with a full stack disciple army in every city of Ulthuan. Most of battles are done with disciple armies which are free. Only problem in the endgame is that you have gazillion disciple armies and it comes tedious to use them all, and at least my game slowed down to halt in campaign map due to all the disciple and allied armies.
    Use cultists, I sent my first to Averlorn and had it subjucated on turn 20, after that your western flank is secured mostly.

    Excellent video, Keeper of takes!
    However, as a Slaanesh enjoyer myself, i noticed quite a few things you missed:
    1) Disciple armies can be spawned by army and have a cooldown of 15 when staying in one province, but 5 if you don't. So you can build cheap marauder spam lords to patrol and spawn free full stacks repeatedly. But there's more, and that's so cheesy it's borderline exploit - you can recruit a new lord, give him all of the units and cooldown of previous lord won't matter and you can make one or even more armies PER TURN PER LORD you set the route to. Absolute Slaanesh tide!
    2) Slaanesh lacks recruiting capabilities, so setting outposts early with HE down the way you unlock basically free 2 local recruitment slots up to 4 units. Extremely useful when you need fast army early on. Also good anvil as spearmen are decent in holding the line.
    3) Corruption makes your disciple armies stronger, so maxing corruption skill is a must in this situation. Also helps to unlock more manifestations, which are extremely useful apart from second one.
    4)PO is simply not true on legendary difficulty, where the actual fun shines on Slaanesh: less PO means more money to make from buildings. Also SoK is more beneficial to your faction than every other faction in the game, as it helps to get the negatives going.
    5)I don't like shrines, as they are very big, slow and can be shoot quite easily. A matter of preference, but a worthy one.
    **6**) dId yOu kNoW you can disband cultists that you spawned your cult with, rebuild the atelier building and gain essentially 2 ready to settle cultists?
    7) For N'kari i like to go to the end of a blue line before taking his(yes) unique skill line, because replenishment, upkeep, seduce budget, movement range and lighting strike are quite useful. After renowned and feared i start taking unique skills.
    8) Portals don't give growth as much as bastion buildings, also they give lots of building cost reduction for your eco buildings.
    9) One chaos sorcerer is enough to reduce your tech researches by 1 turn simply by agent actions. Keep in mind while rushing the building to unlock the +25 devotees tech.
    10)Seduce budget is busted in AR if you do it right: if you know how it generally works, you can turn decisive defeats into victories at ease: try to seduce maximum experinced units, as they give lots of AR bonus. Also you can strip away the strengths of army being lots of good frontline, few fast cavalry or elite monster that keeps everything at bay.

      These are some excellent tips.
      You're darn tootin about the recruitment issues in the early game. Hadn't thought about getting early helf auxillaries - so that's a spicy one.
      Even with SoK at max, I just never saw PO issues - I play on VH though as a standard. I just find legendary has a steep bullshit to fun ratio (oh look, everyone of your neighbours have declared war on you at once and they all have 3 full stacks and you've just got a half stack of chaff kind of way.) forced to min max a bit too much for my taste.

    For cultist creating cults in settlement, in the beginning always make the cult that raises the amount of cultists, late game you should spawn a cultist, use it to make a cult, then disband it if it doesn't have confident or discipled or sleek. Also you can make any amount of Cultists from one settlement, you just trash the cultsist building and next turn make a new one, so you can make cults all around that settlement. And if you disband your bad cultists after they made a cult, you have the cap so that it always spawns new cultist. I took out most of the northern map with just sending cultists there, then making more cultists, then making a disciple army in small settlements, then re-culting the settlement so if I couldn't take it, i could get a new cultist at least. Strike the unwalled settlements there and you get almost endless amount of small allies which will hamper the other chaos factions' plans as they have to send stacks to deal with them. Then if they take your settlements, just spawn more armies to take the small towns and they are in a limbo of having to take those back.

    best advanced guides on youtube
    Things I'd like to add:
    1. Chariots are not needed in your armies if you don't like to micro so you can ski them entirely
    2. Doing cycle charges is the best but also not necessary your armies are so fast and deadly at killing the battle will be over in seconds even on very hard
    3. It is good to pick vassals that like each other. Vassals who are not friendly with you might refuse to fight in your wars thus diminishing their usefulness. For example having both HE and DE vassals might cause one or the other to refuse your calls to war. Having DE and Chaos factions could work better especially when they share enemies.

    Re: Chariots, I find that you don't want to actually tell them to attack units, but rather to just move through enemy units such as infantry. Their mass and speed allows them to send individual models flying, and it hits chunks off their hp. I'm not sure if that's just devastating flanker at work here, I suspect there is additional damage being applied just because individual models have been flung so far out of coherency for want of a better term.

Also it is something to keep in mind while taking territories. The order in which you do it could matter. For instance, if the unlikely happens and Tyrion kills Alarielle, and you want them both as vassals, you need to consider not leaving her capitol for last when taking Tyrion down, or you will be forced to choose one, instead of getting both of them.
