The Emperor's Children are built around speed and sequential attacks, rewarding a commander who can chain activations and strike before the opponent can respond. They are punishing in melee and thin under sustained fire. Watch the order of the charges: the faction's strength is in the second and third attack of a turn rather than the first.
