Martyrdom is (still) Invincible | Darktide | Auric Maelstrom | Zealot

The slight nerf to this build in patch 14 didn't really change anything. The build still does a crazy amount of damage all while being very tanky.

Props for posting a full game with your build and not a montage of things that hardly happen. I may try this but I do just love bonking things with the hammer

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

You're a better player than me then. I can never get on with hammer and the slow attack speed.

[@tgee769]

Same. I honestly enjoy the ironhelm hammer a lot for the Activated attack power. It can dish crazy damage against armored enemies like the maulers, scab ragers, crushers and bulwark shields. I got Thunderous (T1?) and one other blessing. I'll tell you when I get the chance. Monstrosities also fail to withstand some good hits. However, I'm not getting the slowness of the hammer, personally. My character can swiiing lol

[@reichskya]

Insane play by you. I play the Toughness Damage Reduction Aura and Chorus to be an unkillable “oh shit” button for my team the more damage I take. I don’t ride the line as well as you do though. Just dragging my team kicking and screaming to the end for the glory for the Emperor

[@KinkyJalepeno]

Very interesting build - I like the cheese of the wounds to boost damage - Gonna go try this I think... TY

[@kodypicard1016]

I love that axe skin I wish they would bring it back I'm gunna steal this build thank you

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

Cheers. The axe skin is obtainable via weapon customisation mod, found in the darktide modders discord. I think it's an unreleased skin.

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

@@VERRUCKT411 Yeah only my own game can see that special skin. Other players will see whatever skin has that particular camo pattern (I assume), which is also a unique premium skin, but a different one.

a sneaky martyr? by the emperor! Thats genius

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

It's great for doing objectives

[@scipug3048]

idk if the build is tanky, i think you are just really good. i saw you take half your toughness from some trashmob but you just play very well dodge well and dont get hit that much. so id say there is def builds that tank more as zealot (you can reach max dmg reduction ez with 200plus toughnes on a crit build and reduce cd with crits for fury of the faithfull to recharge in seconds and heal you again). or maybe i am missing smth that makes this build really tanky? as far as i know its just dr from martyrdom and dr on succesfull dodge and you regain some shield when you are with 5 m of 3 enemies and that s it.

[@wasabitoothpaste5452]

Is this some kinda slow mode? Never seen mutants/hounds move that slow 😳

[@Mikoru-]

Honestly kind of new to dark tide and I’m trying to finish “channel your rage” penance for zealot and honestly I have no idea what they mean by 3 stacks of martyrdom and I have no idea what the hell that meant even with martyrdom unlocked and I’m using It? Will this build help me with it? I honestly been trying to finish it for 1 day and still confused so I’m working on my other characters. Any help would be very much appreciated!😊

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

It means you have to be missing at least 3 health bars to progress it. Equip wounds curios, play martyrdom keystone, and you have to drop to low hp.

[@Mikoru-]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@swaggarinoblackarino7347 THANK YOU!!! 🙏 literally was wondering why it wasn’t registering when I had 3 wounds but I guess I didn’t have the wound curios. Now that i equipped it and tried a match it’s registering!

[@jessebenitez9357]

Yeah man, what are all the mods you are rockin'?

[@gabzsy4924]

What are these blue color skins your using on your weapons? Is it a mod? I have the weapons customization mod but I don't remember seeing color skins.

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

It's the camo from premium skin. For special skin colour with weapons customisation mod you have to purchase premium skin. Each premium weapon skin comes with a speacil set of colour (camo).

[@gabzsy4924]

@@swaggarinoblackarino7347 okay that makes sense. Thanks man. Great gameplay.

Can you post/link the mods you use?

[@stradavar3022]

I wish we could have more wounds.

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

I'd love for +2 wounds curios. That'd bring us to a total of 10 wounds in damnation. 😆

[@stradavar3022]

@swaggarinoblackarino7347 If I remember correctly we can't even hit enough wounds to fully utilize martyrdom yet.

[@quack3891]

@@stradavar3022 it used to be 9 yea, but now they pushed it down to 7

[@0ckwa]

What do the crosses and numbers in the middle mean?

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

Crosses are cohenrency indicator, colour coded to the other players' colour. 5/5 means effective dodges available. The number to the right of that is the ammo count on my gun so I don't have to look at bottom right corner.

@@swaggarinoblackarino7347 thanks! just found out about mods so looking forward to getting into that.

How do you get 7 bars of health??

[@swaggarinoblackarino7347]

It's the wounds curios and talent to add 2 extra wounds for zealot
