00:08Today, we're taking a closer look at two more leaders in Mechanicus 2.
00:12Lecter Dogmatis Vydex, the orthodox voice of the Omnisire, and the indomitable Necron Lord Abasis, known as the Shield.
00:21Vydex is a long-range support leader, defined by his rituals.
00:25Powerful, wide-area abilities that take a full round to complete.
00:30Used well, these allow him to decisively turn clustered engagements in the Mechanicus' favour.
00:37A quick support of this playstyle, Vydex pairs best with Electro-Priests and Skitari Rangers,
00:43who benefit heavily from his buffs while holding a line until his invocations are complete.
00:48By forgoing a ranged weapon entirely in favour of powerful new skills, and with the right tech tree upgrades,
00:54Vydex can be specialised into a pure support leader.
00:58In this role, he becomes a conduit for the Omnisire, sustaining allies while weakening enemies unfortunate enough to be in
01:05the rituals zone.
01:07Alternatively, Vydex can be built as a long-range execution platform.
01:11Equipped with the Magna Rail Lance, his second Canticle, and the Galvanic Discharge upgrade,
01:17he becomes a devastating single-target artillery piece,
01:20reliably deleting priority targets each turn while remaining safely behind the front line.
01:31Vydex is a melee-focused Necron Lord defined by resilience, dominance, and relentless advance.
01:39He thrives when surrounded by the numerous Lich Guard of his personal court,
01:43forming a mere impenetrable wall that grinds the enemy down through attrition.
01:47Crucial defensive skills and upgrades allow him to draw enemy focus, absorb damage, and passively generate dominion as a result,
01:56punishing opponents simply for trying to end the threat he poses.
02:00Equipped with relics such as Sempaternal Weave and command protocols like the Undying Legion,
02:05he and his warriors become even harder to kill.
02:08Alternatively, by combining his natural tankiness with melee area-of-effects tools like the Tesla Weave Relic,
02:15a basis can wade directly into enemy formations, dealing sustained damage while refusing to fall.
02:21In this bruiser build, he becomes both an anvil and a hammer,
02:25anchoring the fight at its most dangerous point.
02:30Two leaders, one protected by faith, the other by an immense dispersion shield,
02:35each offering a distinct path to victory for their faction.
