Description
3x corruption resistance + 21% HP curios prevent getting oneshotted by Poxburster on Veteran (and Psyker).
--
Revive speed curio stat + VOC revive subnode can be replaced if you want more selfish damage-boosting stats.
--
Laspistol can use both Dumdum or Desperado to great success in Havoc. Always use Infernus though, as it boosts boss damage by a lot and it ignores Havoc enemy buffs which reduce direct damage. Desperado saves more ammo, but is kinda bad with taunt Ogryn on the team.
--
Always use unyielding perk, as the weapon lacks damage against Havoc 40 Reapers and you need a reliable weapon for bosses, since Power Falchion has low base damage compared to meta options.
--
Overload on Power Falchion drastically decreases downtime before special activations. The sooner you have powered-up mode, the better. The explosion at the end of power-up mode also has the same properties as the explosion of Ogryn's power maul, except it doesn't deal damage. But it stuns ragers, stuns gunners, hordes. People sleep on this blessing both on Power Falchion and Relic Blade.
--
Cranial Grounding to boost our damage and increase powered-up mode duration. It's the best blessing on Power Falchion from all my testing in real gameplay.
--
Maniac Perk on Power Falchion to kill mutants in melee who rush you down. Takes 2 heavy attacks on Havoc 40. You can even oneshot them on weakspot crit with a heavy.
--
Carapace perk is second best option for Power Falchion. Heavy -> heavy -> light stab (repeat) on Crusher's and Mauler's weakspot.
--
Weapons Specialist is there solely for additional attack speed for Power Falchion, that's why I skipped all the subnodes (I don't like them). You can use Focus Target! if you want (with or without additional subnodes, even 20% extra damage on the target is great to have).
