This update focuses heavily on refining the existing experience while giving the Dark Prince some much-needed attention. The headline change is a complete visual overhaul for the Devotees of Slaanesh unit models, bringing them closer to the high-quality aesthetic players expect from the Ruinous Powers. Beyond the vanity, the patch addresses critical campaign friction points, including fixes for Tomb Kings Edicts and Norsca confederation logic that have been bugging the community for a while.
Battle AI logic has also seen a significant tune-up. We're looking at more responsive unit behavior and specific skill fixes for legendary lords like Zhao Ming, Eltharion, and Tyrion. If you've felt like your Glade Lords weren't performing to their point value, this patch should smooth out those inconsistencies. These tweaks are essential for maintaining the meta as we transition into the next major content cycle.
Looking ahead, Patch 7.2 sets the stage for Update 8.0, expected in mid-April. That update is the one many of us are truly waiting for, as it will introduce Bhashiva and her Tiger Warriors to the fray. The current patch ensures the foundation is stable before those new mechanics shake up the campaign map. To celebrate the release, a new showcase featuring a high-stakes multiplayer battle between Tyrion and Malekith has been released, highlighting the tactical depth these latest fixes bring to the table.
