"Perserverance" doesn't work. It's supposed to make it so that you cannot be knocked back or lose control while performing a charged attack. Not only CAN you be knocked back while performing a charged attack, but almost EVERYTHING can knock you out of performing a charged attack. It's....frustrating to say the least.

Assault is a badass get in your face class, just have to understand how it recovers shields. Gun strikes that dont kill give you a shield. So parry or evade counter, gun strike then finisher gives you 2 shields per 1 majoris Also, heavy attacks that dont kill will open up for a gun strike kill. That's another way to get shields by hitting minoris. Try to get heavy attacks on minoris then gun strike to get that shield. Sprint, melee light, gun strike on a minoris, very reliable way to get a shield But assault at level 23 finally completes the rotation and the build. Open on minoris mobs with ground pound and rack up the skill time recovery. Do twice if needed in a row. Dont forget to gun strike knocked down minoris for a shield if it appears after a ground pound. Once minoris is mostly wiped, finish off the majoris through parry or evade gun strikes. Or melee light, melee charge. Or just melee charge. To gap close, sprint, melee light, melee charge. This works well on most majoris For bosses, you have a +50% perfect evade window and +50% gunstrike damage and gun strike that dont kill give you a shield. So evade, gun strike gets you a shield. Parry, gun strike gives you a shield against the boss during a fight. Throw in heavy attacks in between and you are golden. It can go toe to toe with melee bosses, probably the only class that can Style 2: use ground pound to snipe majoris. Get perk that does 100% more damage with smaller radius and 20% skill regen. Great way to push in the gunner majoris

[@Flanker-NineZero]

Thanks, I'll try put these tips to use. I've only played assault and I've just hit level 20, and so far, I've been using the dash attacks that you described, but I've not paid much attention to target priority. As far as I can tell, you're suggesting that the assault's job is to focus trash mobs first. I suppose my biggest issue there at the moment is reliably parrying large numbers of enemies.

[@MercurialDecree]

That's all well and good, man, but what about the snipers that deal 8 bars of damage to you? It's a little hard not to get hit while you're locked mid-air. Not to mention, if you spend any time out of melee range against the assault majoris one voli will take all 4 shields and some health. There isn't a lot assault can do to not take damage. You are going to take damage at some point, and it will not be recoverable due to slow hammer swings, a charging slow abilty that reveals you, and no primary to dish out necessary damage.

[@terrestunicorn3782]

If they gave the class the plasma pistol this would sort of fix the range issues as well as help the character play a bit more, hit-and-run type gameplay which is what the devs seem to want here

[@cameronphares2482]

needs a lot more love on the jump pack end. Really the class gets you into shit situations where you need to rely on your melee to survive, something other classes like bulwark do a lot better. The jump pack I think should feel way more reliable than it is, it just takes so long to get back up to the point where you are mostly just sitting back and shooting.

[@bladeking1231]

I wonder if they should just make the dodge you can spend one of your charges on the default for assault would make the perk that lets you deal damage to enemies in the path more worth it and would help with the assaults survival

Really hoping for some buffs in the first balance pass. Of course the far and away most fun class in the game is also the worst by a wide margin.

[@fenrur26]

yeah definetly needs buffs, he cant stay in close range so he constantly needs to be on the move nice playstyle but the perks is not enough to support the playstyle and he ends up being high risk low gain class. Also the passive ability, dodge window increase is feels kinda useless

[@BlackViod]

This would be true if this wasn't a team based game. Maybe it's just me but I do alit better with this class than any other. I don't expect a sniper to succeed at clearing hordes like assault just like I don't expect assault to 2 tap majoris enemies. Hisbpistol does well enough with 1 tap headshots to minoris units just get more ammo capacity in perks he's fine. Plus his double ground slam. He's a unit

[@TheDustyChinchilla]

@@BlackViod I wouldn’t call him a unit, he’s fragile as shit for a class that needs to be in the thick of the fight. Bulwark is the only other melee-focused class and it’s insanely tanky. Clearly the Assault is meant to be the highly-mobile melee class, except it’s not highly mobile at all when the jump pack is completely gutted compared to its PvP and campaign counterpart. It should function exactly the way it does in PvP, that would give the class more mobility to be able to jump in, deal damage, and jump back out without sacrificing all your charges at once.

[@BlackViod]

@TheDustyChinchilla he's an in and out type of character...he's works well at keeping hoards off of the dps. If you're not successful with him it's because you're playing him wrong

[@fenrur26]

@@BlackViod i dont know what difficulty you playing at but assault is perfect for low difficulties, in higher difficulties if your role is horde control, or grouped up enemy elites control when you land, you need to instantly disengage otherwise you will lose your entire armor in seconds. So you need to go in and out consantly. But you cant do that with his current kit. Heavy or Vanguard will clear hordes far better than you, Sniper can kill elites safer and faster than you. Currently Assault is here to just make you feel cool otherwise you are just whatever.

[@red-kh3jz]

I believe I understand the issue with unresponsiveness on the jump pack, that marker on the ground at all times where you are looking determines if you can jump, if you are facing something like a cliff or somewhere you cant go, the marker disappears and you are unable to use the jump pack. Hope this helps!

[@YonexCC]

Saw this in another video on Assault and I do think some of the Assault's perk needs some changes or tweaks. The first signature perk is, quite frankly a useless perk, and shouldn't even be considered a "signature" perk. The heavy bolt pistol reloads extremely fast and you can reload whilst sprinting or dodging making that perk nearly useless because of the speed of reloads with pistols. I also think the side arm perk 15% dmg is also one of the weakest and useless perks (aside from the 1st signature perk) in the perk kit for the assault. As an assault, the focus is the melee, while the pistol is definitely fine to use against minoris mob, which alone are pretty squishy especially if you go for headshots (which you should be doing). Using the pistol on anything greater that a minoris mob is miniscule and a last ditch effort to dish a bit of damage, but to use utilize an entire perk column for a tad bit more damage on the pistol over something that could be more substantial for the melee, armor, dodge, or jump back makes no sense. I see the secondary/pistol simply for taking out squishy targets or Gun Shotting, outside of that, there is no reason to waste an entire perk on the pistol. A few other perks need some tweaks, changes, and love, but for sure the 1st signature perk and the 15% sidearm dmg perk are absolutely worthless on this class. I would rather have seen a signature perk or a perk that some increases the duration of the jump pack, maybe make you leap further distances, or depending on the distance of a quick jump pack, you only use part of the "skill bar" of the jump pack instead of the full bar. Maybe a perk to speed up some sort of melee animation, increasing the "swing", etc. Please leave the sidearm damage perks away from this class.

[@D201-o4k]

Pistol has low ammo and low pierce but really high base damage, anyone with a brain can see its meant for headshotting elites and ranged units while your hammer is meant for trash mobs since it has the highest cleave in the game while also having really bad single target DPS. Your pistol even without headshots is doing much more raw DPS than your hammer simply because of its damage/rate if fire ratio. Heavy bolt pistol isn't a pistol it's a handcannon

So I have about 30 hours now of this game and a majority of it has been on assault, I'm level 25 with max heavy bolt pistol and hammer. I love the class, however its only good for a few missions, and by that I mean missions strictly against Tyranids. I noticed you didnt include a single clip of the other enemy in the game, maybe for spoiler reasons, but regardless it needs to be said. Once you start fighting people who are shooting back on the hardest diffuculty, this class gets absolutely melted. You will lose all of your armor in health in just a few seconds if you try to do anything melee, the class just has zero sustainability for their health. I want this class to be good but honestly I dont think the game is ever going to be balanced for this class to be viable for all content, especially with an even harder difficulty coming.

I figured out the mechanic behind the "input bug". It simply doesnt work when you dont have a proper ground target for the yellow reticule on the ground thats for your jump pack. As long as you can see it and aim it at the ground the jump will work. Figured it out in trials where I noticed that it wouldnt jump when aiming the yellow reticule into the hole by accident.

[@jamescentersmith9323]

Honestly, a lot of people like or dislike this class because it's more of a glass cannon. Yes, the assault class hits very hard, especially when it comes to the damage you can do as a melee hitter, and it's very limited in its ranged attack options. But once you hit with that melee damage, it hits really hard, so it's more of a glass cannon kind of class. Glass cannons, in a lot of cases, tend to be the hardest-hitting characters because, yes, you can make them hit the hardest out of most characters in certain games, but it comes with the cost of taking more damage than other classes or characters. So I can see why some people might not like playing as the assault. You can still hit really hard with other classes while still being some of the tankiest characters in the game, so you can take a lot of hits, and you aren't punished as much for it. Either way, I still love playing as the assault class because I also don't have to worry as much since I have friends who tend to be a little more tanky and can take some hits. But I also am the guy who didn't know how to do the build properly, and since I saw this video, on paper, this build seems like it could do some devastating damage. So I definitely plan on adding all of this to my build and seeing how that fares in the multiplayer levels.

[@Zurkses]

While I agree with the statement about glass cannons, this class compared to others just doesn't do the same amount of damage. As others have said in other comments, classes like Tac, Sniper or Heavy are just good all round because they do unbeatable damage, I'm personally yet to have seen any melee class get over 10k melee damage in an operation. I've had numerous games as a Tac for example where I've gone 20k+ ranged damaged. This class needs a lot of love before it can even be called a glass cannon sadly.

I feel that assualt should get two stacks of armour per parry and gun shots. This would go a long way to help balance its survivability. Once you get the one armour stack you just get bombarded and it ruins the flow. This is currently my main and im loving it but defo needs some rework

I made a joke to a friend saying how this class is in a bad spot and it’s weak and what if dropping it as a class and making the jump pack an ability you can use on other classes as a joke, that would be insane

[@ChristopherDebose-r2x]

How to do seismic chain it’s like it doesn’t activate?

[@Lies-are-Life]

I do need ask.... why does co op not allow airborne shooting? Is it just me, or wut?

[@DragonKnightX12]

That got me. The jump pack is gimped in ops, and that's the whole appeal of the class.

Combat knifing bosses is the highest DPS I’ve put out lol

[@Galeigh]

I love playing Assualt, but it's so hard countered by flying enemies it's not even funny. I had Zoanthropes spawn when soloing a mission once and ended up having to just ignore them for the ENTIRE mission cause I couldn't kill them.... at all.

[@april.haunta6678]

Nice

[@slay-many-foes1160]

I try to play this class because I love the Blood Angels but this class just sucks, jump pack takes too long to charge the Power fist is terrible, I really hope this class gets tweaked because it really should be a fun class.

Great vid! Although, the timestamp still says Vanguard.

Does This class have a cape accessory? I’ve never played wh4k before and I wanna make a Thor inspired melee build with the hammer

Just started playing so don't 100% know but Dark Angels chapter usually has capes and a knight style in their cosmetics so that would be the best bet I believe

The Thunder Hammer needs more damage in its charge combos. That shit is pathetic and we give up a primary slot for it.

Thanks for the video! I wish assault was better than it is now. Hopefully they add the power spear or guardian spear!

It just assigns you to one team or the other randomly.

No you will land under them and miss like the idea tho

How does the jet pack dodge work (which button does it use) and does it consume an ability charge?

[@yayofuego]

I’ll be honest, the hit box is the only thing wrong with this class. I feel like with the heavy I’m more slippery 😭

[@dawinswaitingroom]

Needs a real buff this class. Horrible to level

[@Radbiker33357]

Is it just me or is assault pretty bad in PVP? It works really well sometimes but a lot of the times you easily get shot while meleeing and in the air and by then it's too late for a class that throws itself into the enemy. The armor is too low for what it's supposed to do. There's times where I'm getting outgunned by scouts and tacticals while I'm ON them meleeing.

[@DragonKnightX12]

Honestly I think the wind up for the ground slam takes too long.

[@lostdrifter7009]

Can we get ultra ego vegeta skin for this class

[@matercheff]

Assault is fun but pretty weak imo

[@matthewskates360]

The only class that is total ass cheeks until level 20

[@DeleteExistence]

The jump pack won't work in the trial, let alone an actual game lol so until they fix that it is unplayable for me.

[@rayakoth]

When i press q I dash forward. how do I leap up like a chad assault? :O

[@draketurtle4169]

Think that bug happened to me in the trials cause I did the input to use it and just walked forward into the pit.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Sounds about right. They are at least aware of it.

[@red-kh3jz]

I believe the reason the jump pack is finnecky is because of where you are looking. When playing assault, there is always a marker on the ground, even when you aren't in the air, but if that marker would appear off the map, like because you are looking towards a cliff, it disappears and disables your ability to use the jump pack. Hope this helps

[@Halvatore]

I would generally like to see your keybindings as they are somewhat unique and I am still figuring out if the binding is good or not.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

We simply bind block/counter to the sides of our mice. Makes reacting super easy.

[@andreaandolina7199]

A finicky jump pack is perfect for RP a veteran with an old and temperamental relic, or a lamenter when it doesn't fire in the worst moment possible

[@cyberking8814]

I die so easy I’m level 18 in this class the enemy damage is insane high in 3rd difficulty

[@sutnack7537]

assault is so fucking bad compared to every other class its so laughable

Can still do Ruthless Solo, but yea in PVE it's a tad weaker. In PVP it's a monster!

assault is very buggy and ass rn hahaha so im using bulwark. gonna main bulwark and assault later in when it gets better

[@darksalvationx6024]

I main the assault and it feels a bet lacking

[@minus8162]

Leave the Assault for now my friend. I'm at lvl 23 and I love the concept of it but currently the class on 3rd and 4th difficulty is most of the time unplayable. You will have problem with flying units not to mention this big a** bug(i dont know whats his name in eng) that constantly charges because you even cant fly at him because he does too much and too often aoe dmg. Some perks don't work right now like the one that prevents enemes form stunning you while performing a powerfull attack and the list goes on and on Save your nervers brother, pick heavy, vanguard or something else and wait for devs to fix the assault class ❤

How are you able to play solo? It forces me to play with others and going offline won’t let you make progression on classes.
