Young as their Empire is, many T’au heroes are already counted among their legends, inspiring new generations of leaders and commanders. Among them, three of their most renowned heroes will lead the Empire’s Cadres into battle at the time of release:

• Commander O’Maisos: An exemplar among the Fire Warriors of the Vior’la Sept, this hot-blooded commander hurls herself into battle inside her XV86 Coldstar Battlesuit.
  
• Aun’va: Aun’Va is the oldest and highest-ranking of the Ethereal Council. His voice is law across the entire T’au Empire. His hand is visible in many of his people’s greatest achievements.
  
• Shadowsun: Clad in her highly advanced XV22 Stalker Battlesuit, Commander O’Shaserra employs her strategic genius to orchestrate elaborate plans, destroying the enemy’s most valuable assets.
  

With the introduction of the T’au Empire, three new traits also make their way into Warpforge! Get ready to target and delete your enemies from afar and deploy swarms of drones with:

• Long Range: units with this trait receive no damage when performing a Ranged Attack. They will lose Long Range after receiving an enemy attack, so protect them to get insane value!
  
• Markerlight: When a Marked enemy receives damage from a Ranged Attack, it will receive additional damage equal to its Markerlight value, helping the T’au to perform efficient kills.
  
• Companion: After playing a troop with a Companion, the player will receive an Ephemeral copy of the troop designated by the trait. This troop can be played as many times as the number specified on the card. So, for example, playing a troop with “Companion 2: Gun Drone” will add a Gun Drone to the player’s hand that can be played up to 2 times. Same as with Tide, this card only lasts until the end of the turn, so make use of it while you can!
