- The Lord of Wraiths [Meridian] [Capitol Spire]

Guide to defeating the formidable Lord of Wraiths in Tempest Rising's Meridian map. Learn its weaknesses, effective strategies, and crucial wargear.

Alright, so you've made it to the Meridian map, specifically the Capitol Spire area, and you're facing down the Lord of Wraiths. This is a big one, and the Eldar forces here are no joke. Keep an eye out for their Elite Heavies – they love to leap around and knock your squads off their feet. Honestly, even a single Eldar Elite Light infantry can pack a serious punch; I've seen my own Force Commander get taken out by them!

Your best bet is to use Sergeant Tarkus's [TACTICAL ADVANCE] and [TAUNT] abilities to control every fight. Have Cyrus and Avitus lay down some suppressing fire while Tarkus keeps the enemy busy. Once the Eldar infantry is suppressed, they'll crumble pretty fast under the Force Commander's [BATTLE CRY] strikes. Your main objectives are to capture those relay beacons and secure the Array to the North, which will help you sweep the map clear of enemies.

Boss Fight: The WraithLord

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 56,400
• Weaknesses: Vulnerable to [MELTA-BOMBS] and planted explosive charges.

Phases:

1. The WraithLord: This is a giant Eldar Walker. It looks intimidating and has a deadly Blade Attack that makes getting close for melee combat a bad idea. It also uses a linear energy Ground Burst AoE attack, similar to a targeted area-of-effect blast. Additionally, it can target an area and fire an energy bolter, much like Cyrus's [SUPPRESSIVE FIRE] ability.

Strategy:

• Have Cyrus plant [REMOTE DETONATION CHARGES] and [CLUSTER MINEs] strategically.
• Use Tarkus to lure the WraithLord directly into these planted traps.
• Don't be afraid to fall back and reposition as needed. Keep your squads alive and focus fire on the boss when it's vulnerable.

Wargear Found:

• Tomb of Champions
• Favored of Baradiel
• Benediction of Haste
• Rage of Angels
• Invincible Crown of Victory
• Sacred Lance
• Rending Might
