Description
Melee Claw DPS build.
30.06 Breakpoints tunned for H40.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 > Beast of Nurgle weakpoint. Imo ignore Scab Captain and Plague Ogryn, you better off saving charges for Crusher and Reaper.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips:
- 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.
