Today, Creative Assembly revealed that the first character DLC pack for its hit turn-based strategy title, Total War: Warhammer 3, includes a brand new character and group: Bhashiva and the Tiger Warriors.
In Total War: Warhammer 3, Bhashiva is one of the mighty Lords of Shang‑Yang, a mercenary sovereign to whom every Tiger Warrior commander ultimately bends the knee, and the latest in a long line of title-bearers known as The White Tiger.
The first White Tiger carved her destiny in heroic fashion, guiding the highland tribes across the towering Mountains of Heaven, through blistering western deserts, and into the lands ruled by the Iron Dragon, Zhao Ming, where she swore fealty to the Western Master, forging a bond that has endured for centuries. Each new White Tiger rises to the mantle of the last, renewing ancient oaths and stepping into a legacy older than most kingdoms.
Combat-wise, Bhashiva fights like a silent shadow, closing distance with speed before striking her prey, excelling at hunting down infantry, carving through tightly packed ranks with her twin katara (Blades of Shang Yang) burning with the Iron Dragon’s fire. Each strike not only scorches her victims but weakens their resistance to flame, letting her plough through fights the moment she commits.
Her Tiger Warriors are also fast while choosing to hit hard when they choose the right moment, complementing Cathayan players by letting them pull off flanks and surprise strikes like the faction has never really had access to before. Tiger Clawspeakers serve as the wizards of the Tiger Warrior, an invaluable unit of this group, using the healing properties of the Lore of Life, which, when paired with spells from the Lore of Beasts and Shadows, makes them an incredibly versatile force multiplier.
The Total War: Warhammer 3 Bhashiva and the Tiger Warriors character pack is currently aiming for a late‑Spring release window.
