- "The bigger they are..."
- —Lo Wang, when fighting Warlord for the first time.
Warlord is an enemy type encountered in Shadow Warrior (2013) and Shadow Warrior 2.
Overview
2013
Warlord is one of the stronger demon types in the game. He possesses multiple abilities and attacks that can counter any Lo Wang attacks. For up close combat, Warlord uses AOE smash attacks, for range, Warlord shoots a row of fireballs. If Lo Wang is too far away, Warlord can stun grapple and bring him forwards to himself. On top of that, Warlord has the ability to force two enemy units that are close to him into rage. With perk headhunter, Warlord will have a chance to drop his head, which can be used as a weapon.
Shadow Warrior 2
Warlords return in Shadow Warrior 2. Their appearance is fairly similar to the original game. They are more aggressive, however, and will utilize new leaping attacks and are much faster. They can no longer buff demons, but they retain the ability to tether Lo Wang and pull him close.
A champion variant named The Lord of War appears during the third part of mission Heisenberg.
Design
Warlords are big, muscular and red. They have two horns, one of which is slightly smaller than other. Two mandible like growths are near their mouths. Warlords carry around a huge axe and a blade. They wear a makeshift armor, tied to them with ropes.
Strategy
When fighting Warlord is best to keep a medium distance as if you get any farther from him, he will use his grapple move. Katana and Ki attacks are really effective when fighting him.
