Description
PATCH 1.13.0 — DEPTHS OF THE DAMNED HAVOC SUPPORT
ROLE
Stay on the front edge of coherency: close enough to intercept melee threats and protect the backline, but never so far forward that Chorus cannot reach the squad. This build holds mixed hordes, removes elites, heals corruption through Beacon of Purity, and uses Chorus to reset collapsing fights.
RELIC BLADE
The Mk II rewards clean weakspot chains and handles Havoc elite density better than the old duelling-sword setup for players who are comfortable with it. Keep it powered. Cranial Grounding plus Heatsink extends powered uptime; Blazing Piety supplies the critical hits that feed Heatsink, Enduring Faith, and Invocation of Death. Sprint before charging a heavy for the stronger single-target strike. Use controlled horizontal attacks into mixed crowds and dodge rather than trading hits.
FLAMER + BLADES OF FAITH
Use the Flamer when enemies compress into a doorway, corner, revive, or objective. Blaze Away ramps damage while Penetrating Flame adds brittleness for the whole team. Blades of Faith covers the Flamer's weakness: throw knives at trappers, bombers, flamers, and other priority specialists instead of wasting fuel.
CHORUS TIMING
Chorus now gives five pulses and only continues to stagger enemies within 8 metres after the first pulse. Activate from cover, inside team coherency, when pressure is about to overwhelm the squad—not after allies are already scattered. Ecclesiarch's Call progressively grants up to +30% team damage. Golden toughness no longer has spillover immunity, so nobody should intentionally eat Crusher overheads, sniper shots, or point-blank Poxbursters.
SURVIVAL
Holy Revenant is the emergency recovery layer. Providence improves revives and protects the rescued teammate. Good Balance, Second Wind, Enduring Faith, Restoring Faith, the two toughness curios, stamina curio, and gunner resistance cover the most common Havoc failure points. Stay beside the team, rotate between threatened allies, and use Chorus to create space for revives or ranged damage.
SQUAD FLEX
If another Zealot already runs Beacon of Purity, swap to Benediction. If another Zealot supplies Infectious Zeal, move that point into a personal toughness option. Against extreme corruption modifiers, remain in coherency so Beacon continuously cleans recoverable corruption.
For the Emperor.
