Ushabti

Availability

• Included in Rise of the Tomb Kings. Tomb Kings factions recruit Ushabti through construct buildings and unit capacity in Immortal Empires; Realm of Souls also provides a battlefield summon.

Weapon variants

Ushabti

Melee constructs. Commit them beside a holding infantry line so they can strike an occupied enemy.

Ushabti (Great Bows)

Ranged constructs. Protect their position and maintain firing lanes instead of assigning them the melee variant’s job.

Choose the variant for the job

Melee Ushabti add strength to a fight held by Skeleton Spearmen. Avoid letting them become the only target ahead of the army: isolated constructs can draw concentrated fire and attacks from several directions.

Great Bow Ushabti need space to shoot. Keep the holding line clear of their firing lanes and move protection toward threats approaching their position. The shared name describes the statues, while their weapons determine their battlefield jobs.

Recruited constructs and summoned Ushabti

Construct recruitment buildings unlock Ushabti and supply unit capacity. Check the entry for the weapon variant you want when planning a settlement. Building capacity for melee Ushabti is a different decision from choosing a ranged regiment for the army.

The Realm of Souls summon is a battle ability, separate from recruiting Ushabti on the campaign map. Use it to reinforce a useful engagement while continuing to protect the constructs you brought into battle.

Keep construct support nearby

Necrotects specialise in supporting constructs. Position them with the units they are meant to assist, while shielding the hero from a direct enemy attack. Liche Priest magic and a skeleton screen support the wider formation.

These statues depict Nehekhara’s gods and guard its necropolises. Liche Priests awaken them for war; their stone bodies distinguish them from the skeletal soldiers marching beside them.
