Give the army a holding point
Use Tree Kin to occupy a section of the enemy line while Glade Guard shoot from a clear angle. Keep nearby troops ready to help, particularly when an enemy can bring several regiments or characters against the same unit.
Their holding role buys opportunities for other troops. Sending them far ahead of the army leaves the archers without protection and gives the opponent time to surround the spirits. Move the army together until its parts can support their intended fights.
Tree Kin and their variants
Tree Kin belong to the Wood Elf forest-spirit roster. Check the settlement’s recruitment panel and building browser when preparing reinforcements for an Immortal Empires army.
Malevolent Tree Kin are a distinct variant associated with Drycha. Read the actual unit entry when changing factions; a familiar silhouette does not make every version interchangeable.
Lords and heroes around the spirits
Durthu is a Treeman lord who can fight alongside a forest-spirit line. Drycha leads her own spirit-centred faction. Orion and the Sisters can also use forest spirits to support Elven shooting.
Branchwraiths combine close fighting with spellcasting. Keep a supporting character near the engagement it is meant to influence, with enough protection to move away if the enemy concentrates on it.
