Description

Divider

This build has some of the absolute highest carry potential in the entire game. 

 

Horde clear, special & elite takedowns, armored abuse, you name it, this build does it. I have successfully carried multiple heresy+ games with the Mk IX Hvy Sword, and I highly recommend you try it. The “can opener” playstyle is woefully underrated, as not many people have caught on to how crazy the attack combos are.

 

L spam is fine for hordes, and for denser, more armored groups, L + H + L + H works best for me. 

As for armored enemies, Special + Heavy is absolutely insane and honestly seems unfair given how ridiculous the horde control is on this thing.

With the sheer amount of toughness regen given through ‘Enemies within, enemies without’ you become an unstoppable powerhouse that has little need for the ‘Holy Revenant’ feat, as it is kinda' redundant. You can take it over 'Thy Wrath Be Swift" but personally, I prefer the latter. 

 

The revolver hits a bunch of breakpoints, especially with the rending blessing, and this combined with its excellent mobility really synergize well with the frontliner playstyle, and in my opinion, it's way more versatile than the shotgun.
