Description

A Warrior Hybrid Build - "The oath bought and sold is worth no coin at all."

A guard regiment from the distant planet known as Byzantium, warriors who swore themselves to a throne not their own.

  • The Headsman Axe or Pelekys for brutal Weakspot horde clear through stacking Precision Strikes with Brutal Momentum. be a true viking with Berserkir speed through Trench Fighter Drill and bleed with Serrated Blade. you could swap Headtaker with Decapitator i just find it has lower uptime most fights. This is your bread and butter for the build but do try and use your ranged occasionally to proc Weapons Specialist more often for that speed. 
  • The Plasma Gun, your own Greek fire the empire's most jealously-guarded weapon, save for the biggest and most armored foes with a hail of light attacks to proc Blaze Away . also perfect for groups of gunners when in combat to keep Weapons Specialist ticking.
  • Crowd  control is handled by your Shredder Frags full upgrades with Grenade Tinkerer and Grenadier a potent control tool that clears the press of bodies so the axe can do its real work. perfect to keep your Emperor safe and get revives off. 
  • Shout for easy CC and surviability, perfect for sneaky ticking pox-busters and knocking bosses of ledges, "We are the last thing a traitor sees, and the last thing an emperor needs."
