: As psychic energy builds, the influence of the warp causes unpredictable mutations and reinforcements for Nurgle’s forces. IV. Strategic Management Between missions, players must manage the Baleful Edict :
The primary objective of the Grey Knights is to eradicate the forces of Chaos , specifically the followers of Nurgle, who have unleashed a galaxy-threatening pathogen called the Bloom. Players command a strike force from the cruiser Baleful Edict to conduct precise tactical operations across infected sectors.
: The Inquisitor leads research into Bloom Seeds harvested from the battlefield to unlock powerful "Stratagems".
Success in the field relies on a balanced squad of elite demon hunters. The initial force includes four core classes:
: Unlike many tactical games, there is no "hit or miss" chance ; attacks land reliably, putting the emphasis on positioning and damage management.
: A vital support role focused on healing and buffing fellow battle-brothers. III. Tactical Doctrine
: A high-mobility unit capable of teleporting across the battlefield for rapid melee strikes.
: Grey Knights can topple pillars, throw hatches, and ignite hazards to decimate enemies without using ammunition.
