Last update: 07 April 2022
The following page contains the necessary information about the skills of the heroes and lords in Total War Warhammer 3.
Your characters get a skill point each time they level up. Use these points as soon as you receive them, as they will get you some powerful bonuses.
To open the skills menu, select the lord and click the magnifying glass under his portrait - the same one that opens the inventory - and select the Skills tab at the top.
You'll see a lot of skills that have a lot of overlap for Lords and Heroes, so we'll largely cover them together.
If you want to focus only on country management and battles, you can check the square in the upper left corner. The computer will then allocate the points automatically.
If you want to do it yourself, however, take a look at the screenshot above. The first two tiers of skills are general perks and spells for your characters. These are usually very strong bonuses. Legendary lords often have a skill that affects the entire nation. You should definitely invest in a mount for your character here, as mobility on the battlefield is invaluable. In addition, when the hero/lord reaches level 20, buy Immortality - this will allow your hero to only be wounded, even inf the wound is fatal.
The next two rows will support your characters in battle. The first one in melee combat, the second one in spells. Develop the one that best suits the purpose of your lord/hero.
The next rows are reserved for lords only. The first one allows you to influence and strengthen your units. The second one is important for the entire army/province you're in. It is definitely worth investing in the skills of the units you have the most in the army. In addition, the first skill in the last row (Wanderer) is extremely important and you should choose it first, as it allows you to increase the range on the campaign map. In the last row, you should also acquire the skill that reduces the army maintenance costs as quickly as possible, because it will save you huge amounts of money later in the game.
The last skill tier for heroes differs from that of lords. Here you can select the class skills of your agents. Unlock different things depending on the heroes' purpose. However, each hero should have some skills that allow them to eliminate enemy units or characters.
