Best Nurgle lords in Warhammer 3 by the numbers
Nurgle's legendary lords in a 1v1 melee tournament, their stat leaders, the mounts they can ride and their quest items, plus the race's generic lords. Patch 9.0.2.
COMPUTEDEach of the 3 Nurgle legendary lords (on foot — their base unit) fights every other one, one on one, with the combat calculator's formulas: fewer expected attacks to take all of the other's hit points wins (within 1% is a tie). Same attack speed for both; no charge, spells, abilities, mounts, skills or items — casters sit low. Then the top 3 by one number at a time. Mounts: what each mount adds over going on foot and the rank it unlocks at. Base values at Ultra unit size, rank 0 — skills, technologies, items and abilities change them in battle.
