Description

Divider

Sword of the Emperor:

Lightning fast Psyker that one shots most elites in melee (applies flame on weak spot hit if not one shot), destroys bosses, has great CC, melts hordes and can move in-between the front and backline with ease.

 

Step 1: Apply fire to those you want to see perish with Rifthaven Mk II Inferno Force Staff.

Step 2: Hit Scrier's Gaze when at or near 100% peril.

Step 3:

Option a) Quell if needed and hit Scrier's Gaze again to keep cooking heretics well done.

Option b) Charge into melee to heavy attack elites.

 

A more in depth description to come along with additonal flex talent points. The key is to not rely too heavily on the staff. As long as flame stacks have been applied to mostly everything in range with Rifthaven Mk II Inferno Force Staff, it is time to hit Scrier's Gaze and gaze straight into the crusher's soul as you overhead him before he or his friends can stretch those meaty arms. You are very, very fast if Disrupt Destiny and Scrier's Gaze are up. DO NOT use this to run ahead of your team (maybe a little). Use the speed instead to search for more targets for Disrupt Destiny (sprint-slide- heavy swing, is great for gunners). Or, go ahead and cleave that fire sword through everything in sight and charge up a special attack to clear the room. The build's key two points are flame stacks from many different sources including the greatsword itself, and huge crit damage across the board.

 

The biggest downside is range; however, Brain Rupture is the go to for snipers, and such as long as there is time to rupture. If there's no time to brain burst, find cover and repeat the steps above until either: 

a) Enough speed is built up from Disrupt Destiny + Scrier's Gaze combo to reach the out of range targets safely in melee.

b) Your Covenant Mk VI Blaze Force Greatsword's special attack has been fully charged to clear a path/ give your team breathing room to take out the ranged enemies, while you continue to burn and chop (if the special attack didn't kill them).

Rifthaven Mk II Inferno Force Staff will be your best friend at the end of the day for ranged when all is lost. Because we have Warp Unbound, primary attack spam is allowed on the shotgunner, gunner, or trapper to keep them at bay as we approach them at Mach 50. Anything that cannot be reached by flame staff like a reaper should promptly receive the point of the flame sword in their face after some calculated dodges/pushes or have their head popped from afar.

 

If you are feeling too squishy, drop Warp Speed and add One with the Warp for constant toughness damage reduction. You will be slower if Disrupt Destiny is not active, however it will give more room for error while in packs of melee enemies. Scrier's Gaze gives toughness damage reduction too, along with toughness replenishment, so be sure to use it as an oversheild of sorts also,.. if you choose to go max momentum with Warp Speed.
