Soul Powers

The Dark Eldar have a third resource, Soul Essence, which they can harvest from the fallen bodies of their enemies and even their own troops. Players start every game with 50 . This Soul Essence can be used to cast a variety of powerful global abilities which appear in a new panel on the in-game UI, and give the Dark Eldar an edge in combat. These abilities range from more basic powers like Piercing Vision, which enables any unit to detect cloaked enemies for a time, to Screams of the Damned, which universally lowers morale for all enemies on the battlefield. At the highest tier, one of these abilities, Soulstorm, allows the Dark Eldar to tear open a small Warp Storm upon the battlefield, which can be controlled for a limited time and decimates enemy infantry wherever it goes. These Soul abilities, combined with the hit-and-run nature of the Dark Eldar, makes their play experience unique and very exciting.
