14.07.2027 Updates:

• Minor pathing change

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pros:

• Boss damage
• Mixed horde slapping
• Special/Gunner sniping
• Mobile

Cons:

• A bit too fragile, but thats Skitarii H40 reality right now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to play:

• Switch into solo target stance. Spam Heavy for into elite targets. For mixed hordes: Push Attack>Light>Heavy>Loop
• Keep your Chordclaw Strike stacks above 3.
• Weave Chordclaw Strike into damage rotation once per 10 seconds to trigger dps bonuses, try to get at least one kill with that strike, so you get Satiated Steel buff going.
• Oneshot Crusher and Cranial Reaper with HOLD Chordclaw Strike. Twice as important if they are healers. CC packs of reapers with AOE use.
• Chordclaw Strike boss priority (Go for heads if possible): Twins (One Claw hit on the head rips ~40% from a Twin)> Chaos Spawn> Pack Master > Beast of Nurgle weakpoint. Imo ignore Scab Captain and Plague Ogryn, you better off saving charges for Crusher and Reaper.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Possible changes:

Droppable:

• Capacitor Reclamation Loop 
• Shockline Breach Protocol 

Pickable:

• Ablative Wards for The Blight Spreads Havoc mod or Poxburster/Gas/Twin Mines save tool.
• Integrated Refraction Emitter for additional CC/Gunner diving.
• Surge-Extension for additional Toughness regen.
• Arc Grenades+Overcharged Arc Grenades for DH havoc modifier
• Artificer Servo-Skull+Medicae Servo-Skull for clutch revives

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tips:

• Sprint forward Chordclaw Strike gives small jump animation, which can be handy if you are surrounded.
• You can HOLD ability button to trigger Solo targed Chordclaw Strike , even if you have Axial Slash or Probing Strikes skilled.
• Holding Chordclaw Strike gives you really good movement speed, can use that as a movetech. Cancel with RMB to not consume charge.
• Branx Mk CV Galvanic Rifle with this setup is the best special/anti-gunner tool. DON'T USE ADS with this gun! Stop for a milisecond and hipfire oneshot at enemy head. Spamming is inacurate too, so just time your shots well.
