Strategy

The Farseer is the Eldar primary commander unit. The Farseer's role is more of a support role with powerful psychic powers capable of dealing damage to enemies, such as Mind War, Psychic Storm and Eldritch Storm. Like most Eldar units, she has the Fleet of Foot ability, allowing her to travel faster at the expense of ranged accuracy.However she has less health than other commanders. Focusing your attacks on her right away (before she can use too much of her abilities) would be smart, preferably with a fast attack unit such as Assault Marines. She'll die relatively quickly due of her low health.
