The T’au Empire’s zeal has not relented since their introduction! The newest faction stands tall in a new competitive season while the rest of the factions readjust to not only the T’au, but the new reinforcements arriving to support the Black Legion. This is a proud time for the T’au Empire, but they might soon face a reminder that the brightest flames burn the fastest.
We have compiled the data from one more month of competitive play, so join us and discover the outcomes of all battles fought in Warpforge during last season. Learn how the meta has evolved and get ready for the new season’s upcoming challenges!
Faction rankings
The T’au Empire stands once again as the season’s big winners. Many factions have taken a noticeable dip in Win Rate, but others such as the Black Legion still stand strong, with a major Use Rate jump, aided in no small part by the new Reinforcement Drop and the Dark Zealots raid event.

Global Warlord Standouts
Aun’Va has no doubt guided the T’au Empire to unparalleled success since the introduction of the new faction into the game, but the rest of T’au Warlords do not fall much far from their spiritual leader. Behind the T’au, Gordrang’s Gitstompas have risen above their station during this season, closely followed by Eliac Zephyrblade and Abaddon the Despoiler.
In a meta defined by the unrelenting cannonades of the T’au Empire, it stands to reason that the highest-ranked Warlords are those who can withstand their firepower, be it with their higher health or the ability to control the enemy’s board. We will see how this evolves after the upcoming balance changes.
| WARLORD | WIN RATE | USE RATE |
| Aun’Va | 66.2 | 4.08% |

Legendary Division Warlord Standouts
There is no denying Aun’Va’s power. Only the mighty Goff Orks and Eliac Zephyrblade have been able to conquer the new menace during the last meta, which unfortunately has been more cruel to Warlords outside the T’au Empire. In a twist of fate, some of the Warlords that found the least amount of success in the global ranking, Medreyal Ghaelyn and Grukk Face-Rippa, have been fairly successful in the Legendary ranks.
| WARLORD | WIN RATE | USE RATE |
| Aun’Va | 69.5 | 12.82% |

Draft Warlord Standouts
Not even draft has been safe from the T’au menace! This time led to glory by Commander O’Maisos, the T’au have trumped every challenge in their way, their use rate in Draft only matched by the Black Legion. But they must not fall to the curse of overconfidence, for a reckoning is coming.
| WARLORD | WIN RATE | USE RATE |
