The Emperor's Hidden Blade
 Zealot Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

Become The Emperor's Hidden Blade with this stealth build for the zealot!

Important note: 
Know how to dodge effectively and learn to quickly manoeuvre through enemies to make the most out of this build. You also get damage buff every time you dodge successfully, because of the Keystone. In short, it is a build for the more advanced players.

Use Shroudfield to get behind enemy lines and sweep the heretics from the back, which is really useful to wipe out enemy shooters and gunners. Especially on Damnation and Heresy, where there are a lot of them. Killing enemies from behind restores 20% of your ability, because of the Piouis Cut Throat ability. Meaning that you constantly switch from stealth to killing enemies in the rear. With the +2 wounds from the Faith's Fortitude ability you are able to take more risks. 

Strategy for hordes, shooters and gunners

Use Shroudfield to get behind the enemies and then use a heavy sweep attack to hit the rear. Then constantly hack, slash and dodge until the ability is recharged again. You have to dodge a lot though, otherwise you'll risk being pinned down by enemy shooters.

Strategy for ragers, scab maulers, bulwarks and crushers

These enemies are a real threat to you in melee so I would advice to unleash the Emperor's Wrath with your boltgun. 

Strategy for specialists

These enemies can be taken down with your boltgun if they aren't in melee range. Mutants specifically, are best taken out with dodge and then a revved heavy attack (special attack) from the rear. 

Using Shroudfield

Aside from using Shroudfield during combat, it is also really useful to revive or rescue teammates. Especially when you are the last one standing. 

If you are really confident in your melee skills and are not afraid to wonder off alone, I promise you that you will have lots of fun with being The Emperor's Hidden Blade!
