Bleedhammer
 Zealot Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

Introduction:
This is my (Dragoneldester) Bleedhammer build.
Feel free to look around and if you want! Just keep in mind this is a comfort build. not meta

I chose to keep it in guide format simply because its easy to read for me

You could call this build indecicive and you would be right but just remember that you will be bringing everything to the party, exept support.
Important Preface:
i have yet to test this build out in auric maelstrom on Damnation(T5)
Also this is my first build that i take seriously so cut me a little slack (not a lot tho)
General Playstyle:
As a rule of thumb you want to constantly run around and dive enemy specials to make your teams job as easy as possible. If that isnt in the cards or not neccecary, stick to clearing hordes with your swings.

Choice of weapons:
The Crucis MKII thunder hammer is a very well rounded beast that can take care of most situations with relative ease. Keep in mind that this build doesn´t nececarily have the same boss-imploding capabilities as other builds so plan the teamcomp accordingly if you expect a lot of monsters.
The blessing "Shock and Awe" will help with the hordclear against specials and armored hordes.
Headtaker is interchangeable but I preffer it simply because it is a reliable power increase. Note that I have tested with Momentum for a more "tanky" expierience if that is desired.
Perk-wise crit is a must if this build is to reach its full potential. I preffer damage against ragers as this build is not very good at dealing with them. (won´t let you stagger them)

The Agripinaa Mk VII Combat Shotgun is more of a complimentary weapon here and can be switched out.
Shotguns can apply bleed so they are an include.
I especially like this one as its special fire allows for the dispatching of threats at a range if nececary.
Blessing-wise pick what you want for the second(i would still pick flechette) but keep scattershot.
for perks Crit is nececary because its a crit based build.
the other pick as you wish.
 

The tree itself:
most is standart Bleedlot shenaniganery.
a little utility here mostly damage and survivability there.

Stunstorm Grenade (Blitz)
Your util piece.
dont forget to use it. especially against ragers maulers and crushers. bonus points for hitting a gunner nest and not beeing torn to pieces.

Chastise the wicked (ability)
The bread and butter zealot ability
Mobility is always busted. be where you need to be.
The crit is important for this build as it gets the chain going.
keep in mind that hitting your ability is your main tougthness regen source without momentum.
then we get to the meat of the build:

Scourge:
bleed on crit
crit on bleed
one good cleaving crit is all you need to get going
pair that with Invocation of death and you reach ability spam even big E would find it hard not to support you with a miracle.
just keep in mind not to overdo it and focus on the basics. Every house falls without solid foundation.

Aura:
Benediction is as basic as it is great.
simple stat buff for yourself and the team. wont make you a hero, doesn´t need to

Blazing piety (keystone)
25% crit is no joke on a crit based build. dont even thing about going into anything else.

Thats it for now. ill add as i discover.
