THE BEST POWER SWORD (Speed & Power Styles) GUIDE in Space Marine 2

[@yifujin8174]

There is actually another way to switch styles which is to dodge and then hold the attack button, this will do the sprinting attack of the style that is not active and switch.

[@runegate7065]

Confirmed

[@araradude9984]

Personally what I like to do is go in with power style, whirl slash + 1~2 swings towards the warrior while mowing the gaunts, then back dodge > hold attack button to transit into a speed style Air Thrust as mentioned by OP. The warrior will usually be readying an attack by this point, so parry or dodge depending on the color, Gun Strike, then finish up the warrior with a few speed light attacks, mix in a power rake if needed. Deals with the swarming gaunts much better as compared to just going in with speed style.

[@FlymanStereophonic]

Thanks for the tip, brother.

[@nihilnovum5034]

Yeah this is how i do my weapon style switching, especially since i have the perk for +20% damage after switching modes so this is the best way to actually get any use out of it. :)

I'm of that old original doom/diablo generation too so 30+ and i generally am bad at twitch reaction requiring games, but space marine 2 is something beautiful. I just love it, and I do great at it if i do say so myself. I guess it has to do that it doesn't rely on twitch mechanics as much as understanding the mechanics of the game and playing in way that uses them to your advantage... and i guess since a common comment is that it reminds them of "old games" is why i feel so comfortable with it. :)

I was in the middle of todays equivalent of reading the newspaper when KZbin showed me this and as a Bulwark main who has had questions about things the game doesn't tell you I immediately switched.

[@matasorus1]

Something you didn't mention was that you can change your STYLE but doing a dodge then charge attack right after, When you do that it will use the opposite style charge attack and switch you over to it

[@jumex7]

way easier than trying to change style with a block cancel. He does do it at around 18:55 in the video

[@latch9781]

Dear God, that explains so much about why Bulwark has felt so anemic

[@charlesj7298]

My favorite way to style switch is using the dodge + attack(hold). This allows for you to switch styles while pushing foes back for potential gun strikes or to create space.

[@extimmi]

Yeah I donty know if I missed it but I dont think this was mentioned. Switching styles like this is a life saver when you need to fight a different target type

[@Jikuri]

We finna be Sigismund with this one. Changing direction mid swing.

[@TheJegame]

For the combo interuption, I think it's a bug that happens more often with slower versions of the weapon in PVE, noticed that with one of the versions with a really low Speed (2 or 3 tops). It didnt happen often with faster versions, tho this should be fixed. Slow version makes it that there is so much time between attacks that you can break the combo by moving

[@scartioantolare5825]

Yeah this is only a problem with the slower weapons. The purple tier is gonna be a pain for anyone leveling power sword but once you get to relic tier it's great.

[@XyamacaFly]

yes you are correct

[@raminol8110]

Agreed, first two versions of the sword is fine, but the purple damaged my brain to understand what i'm doing wrong. It is a bug for sure.

OMG....that is why I can't seem to get this thing to combo to save my life?! I spent 30 mins yesterday getting the most inconsistent inputs and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Subscribed

[@Doc_Paradox]

My fav thing to do is use the perk that gives 25% dmg reduction when all armor drops so ill get hit, swipe horde, gun strike for armor which resets the perk, then rinse and repeat for essentially a never ending 25% dmg resistance and horde cc.

[@Eric-rr3zd]

Dude, the upfront info...just you are awesome. Respect.

[@unholyarthur1]

A fully upgraded power sword on the bottom tree can just face tank ruthless horde with just normal power style attacks spam. It's enough to get all your contested health back even when being swarmed.

[@talonia_622]

Great tips. As a bulwark pressing forward is a hinderance in a lot of things, like shield bash for instance can’t shield bash if you are pressing forward.

[@vaughnmcdonald5732]

You can also get a infinite combo in power style were every attack has that blue wave effect to it. For example, light combo attack 1 (looks normal), light attack 2 (has wave), light attack 3 (has wave), power rake (has wave), light attack again and itll skip the initial light attack 1 normal swipe and go right into light attack 2. At that you just repeat

[@TheRockofEasyCo]

I don’t like how everything operates completely different in campaign, PvE, and PvP.

[@TheJegame]

I personnally do, make the 3 experiences feel more distinct. Tho there should be maybe a bit more explanations on these differences in PVP

[@Genghis_Khaan_]

Just depends how you look at it. Personally, I think it’s better for game balance

[@treomoe]

It's a clever approach they took. This method allows for modifications to weapons in one specific mode without compromising their performance across all modes. The Division demonstrated the importance of balancing game modes differently to enhance overall gameplay.

[@MrDzioobasek]

Dude this guide is gold! i would never figure out that moving forward messes combos

[@biggswigg2613]

My tldr for teaching my friends who just tried bulwark up: always start in power stance, light attack into gun strike for your armor sustain and keep your finger on the button for parries when warriors swing at you. After the chaff are cleared and just a warrior remains, throw out a power rake but look to dodge it's next attack and do a heavy to swap to speed stance. That should as well give you another gun strike as additional follow up since the window can be pretty generous. That's why I recommend top path perks to start since you are switching stance into speed form you can get that damage buff in the most applicable window. Then same perks you recommended for majoris damage.

[@theroguenob]

Its weird how artificer vs relic fencer variants are so drastically different the relic fencer feels so good to use

[@Burst434]

Something I've found to be really useful is block cancelling, using block to cancel any animation barring parry and dodge to be more optimal with timing. Like when doing a power style light attack and wanting to gunstrike after, u can do it faster by holding block soon as theyre hit and spamming gunstrike. This is also helpful cuz part of the weakness of dodge is u cant cancel into it as freely as u can with parry, but u can dodge out of blocking. So if ure mid swing and wanna instantly roll cuz an orange attack is coming, can hold block and spam dodge to effectively cancel into dodge from any attack like u can with parry. Also u can press block after manually stance switching to do a shield bash, which u can then either cancel into another block or dodge. Helpful with the bulwark perks that give u buffs after sheild bash & stance switch

[@devondelage2216]

Something I learned recently is if you dash attack and hold the attack button it will switch your style for you great video

[@Straco90]

Dude you are a legend. I’ve been loving my power sword but this is gonna take me next level with it! The move forward is such a pain but this info helps as well as the new perk tree build!

[@Kilnor]

I love your explanations for every detail, thank you! I am truly struggling with my Bulwark combos, and I think it's because I'm pressing forward on on the joystick which as you stated interrupts the combo. Thanks again!

[@jaxsonbateman]

Thanks for the vid! Even though I'm already pretty experienced with the sword, it's nice to see something in-depth and have ideas confirmed (I also hadn't noticed the wave projectile myself from AoE-mode-hit-3, which is pretty nice). Doing some testing myself via trial 3, it almost feels like the combo will persist through movement if you're within range of an enemy that the game does its "soft lock on" thing (where it kind of tracks that you're attacking something in front of you, without the hard lock of pressing X or whatever it is on controller). That said, the moment you get out of that soft lock range, it goes wonk again. Also, it will almost definitely screw with the Power Whirl given that any movement means you're not pausing momentarily. You definitely get used to it but a very minor tweak would be nice, where the combo straight up doesn't get interrupted by movement would be great. I do think the Power Whirl has to remain as a stop completely (incl movement) thing - it would create more problems if you were trying to do something else and wanted to straight up stop attacking for a moment, but the game forced you to do a Whirl. In terms of things I'll add from my own experience, I find dodge into hold to change stances is the most reliable thing to do if you need to swap in or near combat, especially if you've already been attacking - if you try to just stand and change stance, there's a chance you'll do something like a Power Rake instead, whereas dodge into hold is pretty consistent, plus you get the dash attack of the new style for your troubles (though ofc, you also need to factor that in as you may not be in a position where it's safe to dash attack). In terms of "which style to have out by default" - I think typically you want power/AoE style out, as generally you want to be ready to deal with a horde of gaunts and zangors at a moment's notice, rather than majoris (which you'll feel more comfortable swapping to speed style on the fly).

[@elitemook4234]

Ah so that's where I was going wrong. I presumed charged mode would be better for Warrriors and other big targets.

[@warriorfire8103]

I love power sword. Once I learned the combos, power whirl and how to change mode during motion I was flying all over the place.

[@davidhamer7820]

I love this game but it really needs the training room update they have promised. Thanks for the movement tip

[@italianspartacus]

Should be this week! It's definitely before October!

[@webbc99]

In my experience the Power Style is a trap in 90% of situations because a) the animation is too slow and b) it knocks enemies away from you when you want them to be right next to you. Your best add clear tool is the perfect parry perk that deals aoe damage and the one that drops the shock grenade, so it's better to be focusing the majoris with the single target attacks even while the minoris swarm around you, because they just get eaten up by the parry damage. However, this does only apply if you're using a fencing weapon, and you probably should be. The power sword is easily the best Bulwark weapon because it has the highest single target damage with the fastest attacks - you simply don't need any aoe because of the parry perks. I know this is a video more about the sword than the Bulwark, but there are a couple of tricks to getting the parries down - you can actually cancel a parry into another parry if you double tap the button, this only works with fencing weapons, but it allows very generous timing of the parry. You can also use parry to animation cancel out of an attack into a dodge, which allows you to get perfect dodges if the attack is not parryable, the timing is very tight, you basically have to spam the parry and dodge buttons at the same time.

[@Mithguar]

Funny enough, to my experience speed style is the trap. It just doesn't kill fast enough regardless. For killing you will use whirl strike and power rake and power style keeps you alive well better. Shock grenades perks aren't best in their categories as first one is just worse on higher difficulties then the one that lets you recover armor even on gunstrikes that don kill. Other cap stone perk is just worse then the instant incapacitation every 2 min on perfect parry. You would be surprised how easy it gets to maintain armor (which also won't trigger the other shock nade perk). I still use aoe perks for blocking range and parry melee. In general, if you can choose between perk that is always useful vs perk with internal cooldown, always ready perk is usually better. Power style animation isn't slow. Maybe you are just canceling the combo as it is insane how mobile you are with it. You can carry Ruthless difficulty even against chaos.

[@mikeh6177]

Another clutch video, thank you. Love Bulwark so much, the sword felt like it only worked sometimes though for me though. This fixed it. Great video 👍 🙏

[@planomathandscience]

If the forward button is functioning differently in PvE then THAT MUST BE PATCHED. Taking your hand off moving forward is idiotic for ANY fighting style game.

[@hieroglyph3027]

What if pushing forward created a different moveset than using neutral attacks and you wanted to use the neutral moveset? Is it still idiotic or are you using the incorrect inputs? Just don't hold forward and treat it like a separate moveset, you know, like any fighting game has.

[@31knots50]

Practically any fighting game has different attacks/combos based on having movement forward or backward vs no movement

[@BlazeDarks]

wanted to add that if you activate the power whirl at the same time as you do movement you can adjust the direction, but the timing is very tight on it

[@lilweeboi]

attention all chad bullwarks if you wanna up your aggressiveness go all in on the top perks for the sword this will allow your speed style to heal any contested health. I have done full solo rutheless runs with almost full health the whole time with this because it bridges the gap for when you need to heal in between banners.

So first of all: Your Bullwark videos have been a game changer for me. This one, too.

The Boss itself is not the problem (I survived Malenia) but the swarms of adds mid phase 1 and 2 are making the experience a living hell, although I am already lvl 25 and have relic gear. Especially with bots at my side. Would be highly appreciated. 🤜🤛

Also instead of pressing parry use hold blocking instead on bulwark, block is better at animation canceling attacks, your mobility will skyrocket as u can turn an attack into a dodge a lot faster

[@YamazakiJones]

Power just next please! I love the power fist

[@docuzi]

[@unsealednardo9965]

I wish it did switch style. That would be awesome. Especially with those early perks.

[@AvitusNox]

I never understood why people dog the power sword I guess I just instinctually stop moving to fight on my bulwark so the power sword has always felt very strong, and it was kind of implied that the power rake and whirl were meant to be your main source of damage. I noticed during the campaign that charged mode was knocking back minor enemies. Hope more people pick it up now and enjoy the flexibility

You can actually switch styles by attacking, dodging, and then holding attack and it will do the sprinting attack of the other style and swap to it. I found that out by accident.

[@diablo595]

Is it possible that the reason it's different on PVP versus PVE is attack speed of weapon you're using? Like maybe the attack speed needs to be above a certain point to stop the weird moving forward canceling thing?

Now it makes sense about the combo not working for me. xD I was pressing "Z"-Key on PC. Thanks for the info! About the styles, they're really cool and has their uses. Also watching you using that banner before execution is really well played. I do that too and doesn't matter minoris or Majoris, any execution gives you contested health back. :D I can almost do runs on highest and one lower difficulty with 1 or 0 stimms.

it's probably because on harder difficulties you lose 60% of your health spinning around vs just blocking/parrying to clear the mobs.

[@warriorfire8103]

Power whirl is cool but very open to attacks. Racks I sneak in often for its perks. Otherwise it's "5 rapid fire parries as intimdating aura kills large waves and send majors into execute"

[@webbc99]

Very risky attacks due to the slow windup with not much payoff... all of the Bulwark's best damage comes from parrying, so it's better to do quick single target attacks on the majoris while the parry damage takes care of the minoris.

[@Mithguar]

Honestly, I never use speed style. There is always too many enemies around to bother. IF you need more damage in any given moment, just power rake/whirl strike and your problems are removed. Also, you just parry/gun strike and any majoris will go down fast. So don't bother with speed style. Power Sword has been my main since the start. It's great weapon and it feels great. Power fist on the other hand... Big gloves belong in the kitchen to grab that hot pot xD For build I start on top lane and after getting stacking damage on light strike (Momentum Gain), I switch to bottom to finish with getting that extra contested health from power style. Full power combo clears lot of room, moves you forward and you can just reap through hordes like it's nothing. From another important tips, don't trust dodge/parry prompts. Learn animations and parry even without prompts. It's much more reliable and you can parry attacks targeted at your allies.

[@nihilnovum5034]

Hey! I know why your combos keep resetting when you try to move! This happens on powerswords with VERY slow speed, if your speed is 4 or above you're fine iirc, but the slowness of that those couple swords what has i think 2 or 3 speed? those are the ones that this happens with. And the reason is that your character swings his weapon so slowly that he actually tries to start to move in between swings. you can watch the animation and he starts to take like a step, and then you start with the first swing of the combo again. Well you knew at least the latter part of this already, However! _This does not happen with power swords with higher speed_ I have mastered every power sword in the game, and my favourite is the Gathalamar Crusade, and it, with its speed of 7 does not have this problem at all. It is such a great sword! 7 speed and 11 damage means that in speed mode you are swinging that big damage so fast at your enemy and when you finish your combo with a power rake or two they are pretty much done. On ruthless. This is pretty good performance for a melee weapon. Only 2 cleave though but that is fine, i usually fight by picking a majoris target and burst them down and then move on to the next. This has the advantage of causing those psychic shocks to the minoris i don't really need to bother with killing them separately... Imo the fighting style you tend to often see of killing all the minoris first and then fighting the majoris is ineffective and backwards. Just makes it harder than it needs to be. Also it helps if you have someone more focused on chaff clear on the team. Though anyone with a melta does both/everything well. Speaking of melta, it is still king in the game because instead of having to do that combo you just click a couple of time pointing in the general direction of the enemy while also killing all the chaff around the majoris youre targeting... I believe the melta will stay strong even after the overheal bug is removed, but we shall see... But for melee weapons. Power swords, and definitely the Gathalamor one is my favourite weapon in the game! :) Forgot to reply to you about this, even though i've replied to other comments here already... crap.... hope you see this. Ive posted about this elsewhere several times to try to get the devs attention, but i figure this is such an inconsequential bug in their eyes that it is very low on the priority list of things to fix... shame...

I tested what you said and it’s true power swords with higher speeds don’t do that. It’s gotta some kinda bug in the game.
