Electro-Lithe(Variant A)
 Psyker Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

This build type was previously what I called Nimble surge.. i'm renaming it since Nimble is a Hivescum thing. Electro-Lithe is designed to be the penultimate solo/duo build.. being able to excel in virtually any situation.. there are other builds that do this differently but this one is honestly the easiest to play.. there's a simple safey of the dueling sword that is unmatched in a defensive Psyker setup.. putting block+deflection on a weapon that does bonus damage on a psyker when it parries is unrivaled level of defensive safety. There are two variants total.. and this one is designed to be monster/boss killer with a an emphasis on easy premium horde clearn(empowered psionics smite with warp unbound).. so in nearly every circumstance in this game Bio-Lodestone would be a terrible choice.. but in this setup.. like 5% high chance to get a EP charge.. doesn't sound like much.. but it is.. a good player kills a lot.. and overpowering souls is what you would go for if you were playing an EP assail based build or an EP brain rupture build.. because those things are actively going to kill elites.. instantly resetting it.. but surge doesn't do that.. surge kills a lot of trash relatively fast when build right.. but it doesn't kill a lot of elites fast..so just constantly getting EP charges from killing normal shit in a build where the whole point in EP is premium horde clear with smite is the optimal way to go. tbh in most cases.. just one point in EP is enough but when you're trying to really max out horde clear.. to optimize the setup. basically.. the point is better spent here to boost horde clear strenght in this setup.. fact is. the mark 5 dueling sword sucks at killing hordes/trash in anything but a single target circumstance.. but when it comes to kill anything but a crusher.. it does it the fastest on a case by case basis.. and it also does drastically more parry damage than either of the two marks combined.. so I go bio lodestone to compensate for it sucking vs multiple targets. charges happen constantly, quickly, organically in this build making the weakness in mixed fight clear.. a non issue. you can quick cast it for a peril bar and then vent back down quickly and rinse and repeat.. because another charge will happen within that quick cast.. because that's what bio lodestone enables here. Anyways.. this is the solo/carry version of the build.. variant B is for duos specifically. This build will passively kill monsters very quickly save a burgle.. but a burgle isn't going to be something that fucks a psyker.. and that base is covered as well.. a burgle will die from a flurry surge staff very quickly after double debuffs.
