The Master of the Magic Phase – The Slann

The Lone Wolf

• Plaque of Dominion
• Plaque of Tepok
• Diadem of Power
• Suitable for 2nd Generation or 4th Generation.
• Recommend also taking BSB and Warbanner or Totem of Prophecy

The lone wolf build is one of my personal favourite builds. As mentioned before, this tactic involves fielding the Slann by himself and not in a unit as per tradition.

There are 2 main advantages of fielding the Slann by himself. The main advantage is the point cost. It’s much cheaper fielding him without a unit, which tends to turn into a point sink (especially when temple guard and a second generation Slann) and the second advantage is that he becomes more manoeuvrable.

However, be careful. A Slann without guard can be quite vulnerable in close combat. If you use this build I’d always take the battle standard-bearer ability and either the Warbanner or Totem of Prophecy for the reasons mentioned previously (see Lone Wolf option), as the extra benefit of these items can make all the difference in keeping the toad alive.
