Miao Ying has good spells but lacks her brother's melee attack and defense. Miao Ying starts right alongside the Groovy Breastwork. This fortified wall is under abiding siege from Chaos forces. As a result, the Great Breastwork generates a continuous threat. Once the threat reaches its peak, Chaos armies will spawn, and the Great Bastion.

Miao Ying benefits from a defensive playstyle more than whatsoever faction in Warhammer Three. Keep a decent army on each of the iii gates to secure her homeland and capital. With her territory secured, the best build to focus on with Miao Ying is her spells. With the ability to heal and raise defenses, she tin can go on her army alive despite the frailty of ranged units.

Miao Ying'south best army composition should be ranged focus, as her innate Lord effects benefit went units the nearly. Back them up with terracotta sentinels as Cathay lacks strong melee units otherwise.

Miao Ying is an excellent Lord in Total War: Warhammer Iii. Her dragon form is powerful, but her human conditions healing spells are invaluable to a long battle. Knowing when to use each form is key to a G China victory.
