Why did you decide to go BH instead of something like assassin?

Really dumb question, my inventory screens always show the calculated value rather than the formula (e.g. rather than 5+ psyker's resolve, it displays 10, and I need to hover over it to see the formula). Does anyone know how to make this the default view?

This is so goofy lol. Are there any other builds not using exc or blade dancer that could get even close?

As to Ulfar, I believe they tried to make him an allrounder who can do well in any situation and is supposed to adapt to what is needed. Guess they did not quite manage it.

Unfair towards enemies that is. Also can't you fight Uralon & Daybreak in the same combat when going heretical?

Personally I still prefer agility early over ballistic skill unless my MC can cover Demolition skill on the highest difficulty. With max agility and demolition early your chances of ever fumbling a trap and receiving an automatic trauma which usually guts her agility is just too painful for me. Alternatively have Kibellah level it up. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who likes to get Rapid Reload early. I have seen other KZbinrs like cRPGbro who basically skip it because he uses her as a sniper only early on and forgoes using her AoE capabilites completely which I think is a mistake since you already have a decent sniper with Idira and if you play an operative mc you even have two snipers so I do not like that approach much. I also prefer unpredictable over alacrity. While increasing agility gives you some extra crit if you can get 10+ shots off with some dodge, not sure if initiatives actually changes between rounds, none of her abilities scale directly with agility like for example several powers for Cassia scale with perception and willpower and can quickly ramp up during the first turn. I guess it really depends if you like some extra dodge more than some extra crit chance early. As to skills, it depends on what my mc is. If I have an operative with high intelligence for example or if I use Pasqual a lot, getting her lore Imperium is not a very good choice since even with that she will either just barely get above them in terms of skill level or not at all. I would rather go either Awareness since every party member checks for traps and hidden stuff so it is never a waste or get Medicae for better healing which while not used much it does help a little when it is needed to heal. I prefer my heroic ability to be upgraded the other way around though I use a standard bolter instead of her personal weapon since 15 less recoil while only dealing slightly less total potential damage is a good compromise. Combnine this with upgrade 2 and she will hit fairly reliably even with a bolter. As to shotguns, I like having one in my second slot early.

Yei!

Let's gooooo!

Cool guide!

Thanks for the guide, subscribed!

I cleared hard (with a full party) with this build a few weeks ago. absolutely hilarious to play, does quite well as a bladedancer and then just becomes absurd as soon as executioner gets rolling. Aurora was the hardest fight in the game for me, by far. the crypt fight in the DLC was probably second (until I ignored the seemingly-bugged bunkers and just rushed the boss down). want to do an unfair run soonish, and while I'm tempted to use this one again (it does _so much_ work), I might have to deliberately shelve it to avoid trivializing things too quickly.

0/10, the build discord told me that using your heroic means you've already lost.

So now that you have so very thoroughly broken this game's back, what are you planning next? Haha

I'm about to star a heretic run, your build just gave me an ideia and some inspiration. Also, what the F is all that damage??? lol. I didn't realize executioner was really THAT strong until now

I never had any problems with daybreak however holy shit the dlc's final fight was TOUGH for me

What level are you in these?

Interesting guide!

Instead of a psyker nerf, I would like it if the 5 talents given by the backgrounds were significantly boosted in power to make them a more competitive choice vs the psyker talents, as well as providing the means to use most of them multiple times (perhaps even once per turn). Crimelord comes closest to something resembling something I would like to see, except I would prefer its power increased. I don't play on unfair, (and I never plan to) but the talents alone often mean a psyker is better purely because the talents are more general and useful on average than ones that only effect a potentially once per battle buff. edit: I also wouldn't say no to more talents for the backgrounds that aren't psyker.

I think a pet origin would be a good idea. Currently, origins other than psyker are a hard sell.

About psyker nerf: I'd also suggest limiting any psyker to only 2 disciplines max. In lore, its difficult for them to properly study and master more than 1 and in the game you can pick any number of them and all of their passives. Or alternatively, every discipline you pick beyond 1 or 2 should increase your psy-phenomenon and perils of warp chance to trigger.

They should just make him a lore accurate space marine. (Power level wise) He should shit on everyone else in the party.

yeah I still just really do not understand their thought process with Ulfar. it seems like they were worried about him being unbalanced relative to the other party members, and so purposefully nerfed him into irrelevance. except: 1) he's basically a demi-god wearing tank armor and armed with light artillery, the entire concept of space marines is how absurdly, comically powerful they are in combat compared to typical humans, and 2) by the time you recruit him, the rest of your party's combat ability is already shooting through the roof. after the first few fights of act 3 (when you only have part of a party, and none of your normal gear), none of the combat in the rest of the game is a significant challenge. Argenta + Cassia are just hitting the point where they can outright end (or _at least_ gain an absolutely overwhelming advantage for the player) most fights before the enemy gets a single turn. no matter how powerful they made him, he could not meaningfully break the combat balance any harder than those two already do.

I'm loving this build but I keep running into the veil degradation. When she's had 3+ turns in a round using all her buffs it's too high to safely use more. Any tips for reducing that? Maybe I've missed an ability? It's making me tempted to grab a non-psyker power to give her something safe to do with all those bonus turns.

I made ulfar a warrior + vanguard since he is too unlucky to die (a noble death anyway)

Good question! Honestly Ulfar should be the Warrior+Arch-Militant companion, he could still be a hybrid but melee would be his main not the other way around.

The Space Wolf should outclass the whole party (Baring Psyker Nonsense). He should feel like a Demi God....Cause he is....

I am lucky, that my own character is basically the same build as Heinrix. Made him Psyker Warrior. And then you have the choice between assassin and militant and I think both is strong and fun.

Interested in the new potential changes you're requesting! Admittedly I make these changes to characters whenever I meet them already through Toybox respeccing and stuff but it would be nice to have to do that less hehe. Also on a separate note, have you tried adding custom units to your team? It can be pretty fun, I recruited the surviving Forgefiend into my party on my heretic run after murdering Heinrix and defeating Delphim. I made it have a Forge World background with the toughness focus and then made it a Soldier/Arch-Militant. I wanted to have the option to take my daemon doggy out for a walk and not have him be confined to the ship, and now I have that option! Admittedly he doesn't fit everywhere, but he's a pretty fun little fella to have around hehe.

About Warp Perils: I think a 1% flat could be a bit too harsh a nerf. The point of the psyker origin is safe psyker powers. Making that unsafe, even by a tiny bit, is a qualitative change. That being said, I do understand that currently safe psykers are OP, so here is my two cents: Safe psyking should stay, but be made conditionals, like the current corpus conversion talent (downed enemies become ''charges'' for safe psyking) and Inscribed ability (trade wounds for a safe psyking). I also recall another 40 tabletop allows charaters to cast psyker powers safely if they cast it with significantly lowered psi rating, maybe it can be translated into RT, too? TLDR: Make safe psyking bound to conditions and trade-offs, and make those means to safe castings more available to sanctioned psykers (like, say, make ''low psi rating safe cast'' an exclusive to the sanctioned, so the sanctioned can consistently low-power safe cast, while the unsanctioned will have to risk it, use conditionals, or burn wounds, as a price for higher raw power rating).

A request - your unfair companion Steam guide 1.3 references your recommendation for Arch Militant and not Vanguard, yet the graphic in the guide is only for vanguard. Are you able to update to include both builds? Thank you for the video and the guides. A+

Any point making Mercenary around this Operative -> Assassin?

Idira wasn't born on ship she was taken from a world not sure what sort of actual type world it was

What do you think about Pascal Strategist?

Cool to see the assassin variant. I just finished my unfair play through with a sanctic officer vanguard which was pretty cool dunno if you have messed around with that at all. I am considering trying to do an officerless unfair run so you cant one turn everything. Have you thought about that? I remembered you saying you did a cassia free run or some fights at least and wondering if you have any suggestions or tweaks to builds with that in mind. Seems like youd need to build more defensively? Kinda want to do something with a commissar as a way to generate resolve sans the officers but i dunno. Just spit balling

Loving your guides man, keep doing the God Emperors work.

Man. She just Attack on Titans through the whole map doesn’t she?!

Abelard has to be in the team, whoelse can announce my arrival????

playing female dogmatic puritan ministratum priest while romancimg heinrix was pure pain. I had to jump at his d1ck 4 times before he put in. Well he become my master of whispers but man it was a pain.

In my game Henrix can't be pyromancer

Gotta use him heavy on my next dogmatic run! Thanks! How Would you say the Warrior/Exe Combo is now stronger than your Warrior/Arch Millitant Tac Nuke build ?

Appreciate the build Revan. Could you please update your spreadsheet or link one that has this build. The build you are using is not on the spreadsheet listed here or on Steam. Dance partner is at level 4 in the video but not on the spreadsheet. I could take screen shots etc... but I like your spreadsheet.

Can you build a biomancer sniper effectively?
