Baihu {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/ea91d9a55262f108401d9d3304cb1d417dbef5d5.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/a8e8d754764979a37ba71b835aac356b2bfa6d83.png Baihu is the first of the Four Auspicious Beasts, available in the Heroic Age to followers of Rushou. Tigers are native to China so it’s not surprising that they would feature prominently in Chinese mythology. Baihu, also known as the ‘white tiger,’ is the second tiger-inspired Myth unit in Immortal Pillars. While the Qiongqi is a flying tiger, Baihu appears more conventional, but has his own unique aspects. In Chinese mythology, Baihu is associated with the direction of the west, the color white, metal, and autumn. He symbolizes loyalty and righteousness, and oversees honorable battles. In legends, Baihu appears as a bringer of justice, punishing evil and promoting goodness and order. In Immortal Pillars, Baihu is a powerful melee Myth unit comparable to the Greek Nemean Lion, but with additional attack and faster movement speed. This twin-tailed feline’s special ability is called Sweeping Maul. When activated, Baihu leaps toward an enemy, immobilizing it and dealing a series of rapid attacks. In addition, other enemy units near the Baihu’s landing zone are thrown aside. This makes Baihu a potent disrupter of enemy formations. It is wise to open an attack with one or more Baihu, then follow up with Rushou’s potent human units reinforced with Divine Judgement and Gilded Shields. These two technologies benefit Rushou’s infantry.

As a water unit, it is available to all Chinese gods. Xuanwu knows the power of friendship: it is not one but two units, joined together and inseparable.

To do this, we sought Chinese designers, artists, and experts in Chinese mythology. Together with the teams at Virtuos Shanghai, Forgotten Empires, and Tantalus, we strived to create a well-researched bestiary of unique and incredible units. With the upcoming Immortal Pillars DLC, most Chinese Myth units are inspired by the Four Perils, a collection of warped and malevolent beings, and the Four Auspicious Beasts, noble guardians associated with the elements. Today, we’re introducing the “evil” four of the Myth units available in Immortal Pillars. Pre-Order Now! Immortal Pillars is available for pre-order now on Steam!

Qiongqi {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/dc43c018d78135cfffb099507ef9df109f3100be.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/6dbf89eca3728ad49cc4633b70b19effbb92c0d4.png Qiongqi is the first of the Four Perils, available in the Classical Age to followers of Houtu. In designing the Myth units of Immortal Pillars, we wanted them to be authentic to mythology, foster unique gameplay, and be cool. We’re lucky when the mythology makes that easy for us. Some combinations go really well together and tigers and wings are one of the all-time greats. With Qiongqi, we instantly had everything we wanted. The Qiongqi is a 260kg mass of muscle, teeth, and claws, and in it’s upgraded form it even has a horn and saber teeth half-a-meter-long! In Chinese mythology, the Qiongqi understands human language and has a warped sense of justice. It enjoys arbitrating human disputes by devouring the righteous party and rewarding the wicked. In Chinese, Qiongqi translates to ‘distressingly strange’ or ‘thoroughly odd’—and we agree! The mythology sounds incredible, but what could we do with this unit in-game? In Immortal Pillars, the Qiongqi is a formidable unit with a fast attack tempered by slow movement speed on the ground. What the Qiongqi lacks in mobility on four legs, it makes up for it in the air – capable of flight to overcome obstacles. The Qiongqi is perfect for early game raids against enemy bases, easily able to retreat by flying away from unfavorable situations. With this style of gameplay, Qiongqi are likely to find themselves behind enemy lines and outnumbered. Houtu grants the Sinister Defiance upgrade, increasing their armor for each nearby enemy unit, further increasing their survivability. When the Qiongqi is around, nowhere is safe. As you battle the Chinese, watch out for Qiongqi flying in behind your base! Taotie {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/7d3d1fa78dcb4f73e0298bf509b6ff...
