Bladesingers

are a melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Twisted and the Twilight.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Forest Lookout or Shadow-Groves of Loec (requires Asrai Armoury)
*Bladesingers are not available for the faction.
== Description ==
Sometimes known as Shadow Dancers of Loec, Feast Masters, Bladesingers, or Deathdancers, Wardancers roam Athel Loren in tightly-knit troupes, treading paths and secret ways that few others know or dare use. Other Wood Elves regard them as wild and unpredictable, and not without cause, for they are the servants and worshippers of the Elven Trickster God, Loec. The Wardancers lead the Elves in music and rejoicing, and perform the intricate dance rituals that re-enact the history of Athel Loren, a form of storytelling more important to the Wood Elves than the more conventional method of writing. Wardancers are sublime warriors, made even more deadly through their war dances. For these, the favoured rituals of the Trickster God, no rhythm is called nor are orders issued. Instead, the dancers instinctively enact a pattern of lethal movements, complementing the dances performed by the rest of the troupe. Each Wardancer leaps and pirouettes through the enemy ranks to music only she hears, gracefully evading her opponent's clumsy blows and ending his life with an impossibly swift strike of her own.

== Abilities ==
* The Shadow's Coil
* Whirling Death
== Strategy ==
As a comparison, Bladesingers are essentially upgraded Wardancers. They are one of the best elite melee infantry units, able to take on other elite infantry and mowing through lower-tier infantry. 
Their Whirling Death ability allows to change their focus between their base damage and armor-piercing damage to best deal with their current target.
Maximizing their survivability is important. They should engage the enemy after the frontline has pinned them down. They do have physical damage resistance and good melee defence, but are still vulnerable to spells and missiles.
