Skitarii: Vanguard
 Skitarii Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

Melee build with a few Electro application capabilities:

• Overcharged Refraction Emitter 
• Electro-Strike Conduit 

 Which principally helps empower your Transonics to handle tougher enemies via the following:

• Weakness Analysis Doctrine
• Retribution Conduit 
• System Shock 

The Chordclaw guarantees a critical strike with every use, and thanks to Electro-Strike Conduit, Axial Slash will not only create space by clearing chaff units, but also stagger and electrocute any Heretics that might've survived it for a fatal follow-up. Satiated Steel, paired with how good Transonics are at handling horde clear for ez Capacitance generation, will allow you to make use of your ability very, very often. 

Flensing Protocols will be easier to upkeep thanks to Chordclaw's frequent uptime, and grants several bonuses while at max stacks:

• 20% Damage
• 20%  Toughness Dmg Reduction
• 12% Crit Chance
• 12% Attack Speed

Refraction Emitter might be a curious pick, but two active pulses of Electrocution and an 8s shield from Overcharged Refraction Emitter helps enable a very aggressive playstyle when pushing into hordes or against a squad of gunners. 

You could technically run the Arc rifle if you'd prefer some decent ranged gunplay, however I find micromanaging the long reload counterintuitive to a build that deals most of it's damage up-close. The Phosphor Pistol, even without any Skitarii talents, has insane damage-per-shot value and a much more manageable reload time to engage those pesky specials and elites at range, without any significant downtime on your Transonics. 

Chordclaw can be swapped for Voltaic Emitter if preferred. Every Blitz are also within reach for easy adjustment per mission needs or personal preference

Misc:

• Aside from the lads and ladies in the official Darktide discord, a lot of the information I get to supplement my own buildcrafting comes from incredibly useful guides like the Hammer of the Emperor, the Ogrynomicon, and the Psyker's Atheneum, and Zealot Compendia, as well as YT creators Reginald and Ryken XIV, all of whom do some excellent numbers and damage testing. I highly suggest giving their stuff a gander if you're interested!
