Seer Council

"The Council has arrived."

The Seer Council is a collection of some of the Craftworld's most powerful Warlocks. They collectively focus their psychic powers and battle experience to be an awe-inspiring battlefield force and are exceptional at defending the Farseer.

Note: In Soulstorm, the Seer Council requires two slots in Falcons and Webway Gates.

Tactics

The Seer Council is the most powerful melee infantry the Eldar have to offer, and an ideal squad to attach your Farseer to. Researching Fleet of Foot and Mysticism makes the Seer Council much more powerful. Fleet of Foot allows the Seer Council to rapidly close with the enemy, forcing the enemy into melee combat. Mysticism research unlocks the Conceal and Embolden abilities, which protect against ranged damage and can be activated to increase morale respectively. While powerful, it is important to accompany the Seer Council with other close combat units such as Howling Banshee Squads to prevent the squad from being swamped with cheap close combat infantry and picked off from range. Especially with a Farseer attached, the Seer Council is a squad capable of taking on any enemy.

The Seer Council can be used to absorb the damage of ranged powerhouses like Obliterators and Flash Gitz. Their commander armor makes them the most resistant infantry type to this type of damage. Their armor coupled with Conceal means the damage they receive from such heavy hitters is about 1/3 to 1/5 of the damage that would have been dealt if they shot your Warp Spiders or Howling Banshees.
