Description

Divider

Zealot Crit-fishing build using the Catachan MKIV as an all-rounder melee weapon and Agrippina MKVII Braced Autogun with Stripped Down for navigating hordes of shooters.  The way I play this build is largely around charging at things and hitting them hard with Heavy attacks.

 

Not tested on Damnation yet.

 

Horde clear combo:

Light1 -> Heavy2 -> Repeat

  • Open up against hordes with Heavy2 to hit as many things as possible.
  • Use Fury of the Faithful for a guaranteed crit which will apply bleed on everything you hit, which in turn increases your crit chance on followup attacks.  
  • Every individual enemy you hit with a crit triggers Invocation of Death to massively reduce the cooldown of Fury of the Faithful allowing you to repeat the cycle.
  • With big enough hordes, you can use Chastise every other cycle of your combo.  Sometimes faster.
  • If you need to retreat cause your teammates are moving on without you, switch to the autogun and magdump.

Gameplan for Elites/Specials:

Gunners

  • Charge at them and hold Heavy1 to one-shot

Shotgunners

  • Charge at them and hold Heavy1 to one-shot

Mutants

  • Charge at them and hold Heavy1 to one-shot

Trappers

  • Dodge then run at them and hold Heavy1 to one-shot

Dogs

  • Dodge then run at them and hold Heavy1 to one-shot

Ragers

  • With big packs of Ragers, the crit on Heavy2 is enough to stagger them and give you breathing room to go Light1 -> Heavy2 again
  • Riposte is extremely good at killing them fast.

Maulers/Crushers

  • Swap to Autogun and magdump.  Once you're out of ammo, Charge in and keep swinging with Heavies.
    • Consecutive Heavy1 or Heavy2 crits to the face are enough to stagger Crushers such that it interrupts their attacks.
  • Dodge side-to-side ALWAYS.  Especially with Crusher/Mauler packs.  If you dodge backwards, they will still track you and walk forward while they're charging their down swing.

Plague Ogryns:

  • Riposte means you can clear this boss without taking literally any damage.
  • The stomp is riposte-able.
  • Spam Heavy combo to the face.

Chaos Spawn:

  • Riposte.
  • Dodge back when you see the windup for the grab attack.

Beast of Nurgle:

  • Swap to Autogun, Charge past them with Fury of the Faithful and mag dump into their back.
