Adora's 'Stalwart Relic Blade' FotF
 Zealot Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

One of the two builds I made trying to make the Relic Blade feel worth using. And after a lot of ideation, I can say this variant honestly feels pretty good. It can do pretty well in the right circumstances, can 2 shot a crusher if you charge at them with a H2 into a H3. And the push attack on the II goes into a pretty nice 'light heavy' combo string for wave clear.

Main thing I was missing for a good while was to finally 'bite the bullet' and say screw it to the weapons sprint speed. Being 'slow' as a Zealot doesn't feel great, but FotF makes up for that a decent amount, and outside of combat you can just pull out the laspistol (for this build at least) to get that high move speed back. The difference between 60% Heat Management and 80% is night and day, to a degree that surprised me quite heavily, and that combined with the realization that 'Thy Wrath be Swift' is kinda required to allow you to keep up your combo's while you're getting chip bonked every so often was 'the final piece' that made it all come together. It feels honestly really good now. While I still think an Evis is better in most every scenario due to it's ease of use allowing you to focus on the battle at hand (and not need to spec in to said 'Thy Wrath be Swift' as it doesn't need it). If you just want to have fun, this is a very effective side grade that feels fantastically satisfying to use. 

Laspistol is for movement speed (since the sword actively reduces your sprint speed when held) and varieties sake, and for procing Enduring Faith at range. Dance of Death mainly just gives point hip fire laspistol accuracy, which is nice when it's needed. (I don't take good balance cause this sword/build is already so point hungry and I ran without the DR before so figured I'd function without it now. Dodging isn't exactly the swords strong suit with all the animations it locks you in anyway, so I'd rather just have more semi consistent damage with Disdain. Up to personal preference there though, this change also makes it ever so slightly different than my Duelling sword build, which is the main reason I do it. I also just enjoy Disdain as it fits into the 'heavy/light' swing cadence you get into after a push attack rather well, as the heavy/push attack procs Disdain, the light then uses it to cleave through the same number of enemies, then rinse repeat, which feels nice).
