Description
Don't be a burden to your friends with this simple arbites build.
Tried to make this a very simple build for new players. Dog focused and with team buffs and plenty survivability.
The only thing you have to do is stick with your team and left click everything. When armor roles in you hit them a few times each to apply skullcrusher so they'll die faster. Meanwhile the dog will handle a lot of threats that you won't even see.
The new aquila will follow you and help buff your team. Deploy it whenever the pressure ramps up. You can switch it out for the other abilities as you see fit but since it's buffed now and you're likely not getting the most out of the others as a beginner this is a solid choice.
Shock maul is the best weapon to apply skullcrusher effectively, just left click most times. Mix in heavies for mixed hordes and elites.
The shotgun will cleave through hordes like butter, use it to thin them out before you go into melee. Ragers will die to it easily with the extra maniac damage.
Once you feel comfortable in Damnation+ you'll probably want to switch to one of the more common meta builds. But for beginners this will help to play higher difficulties than Heresy with your friends.
Disclaimer: This build will ruin you unless you take the time to learn melee combat and avoiding chip damage as well as learn positioning. The dog takes a lot of the early frustration out of the game but switching classes will come with a big adjustment period, consider yourself warned.
