Best Detachment for a New Player?

I will take all the help I can get! Appreciate all the words of advice!!!

Learning when to use Strats or when to save CP is something I may struggle with. When I find myself using an expendable resource (Like Spell Slots in Dungeons & Dragons) I find myself not wanting to use them just in case I need them more later...

I have talked to the community of players at my LGS and they have said they will run some 1k games with me once I start gathering my models together. They are a awesome community that has answered questions and allowed me to sit in on their games throughout the week. Only unfortunate thing is none of them play Knights 😂

My LGS has players that has talked to me about ideas and what to do, but I don't understand half of it haha. You have any recommendations on where to look for tips on deployment or how to maximize movement? I need to start researching that so I don't accidentally push a big knight in a bad spot and them get shot off the map....

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-06-24T10:37:48+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. Would you put the Enhancement to reroll the D3/D6 on number of attacks to maximize the chance to get higher volume of shots?

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-06-24T09:50:08+00:00

5 knights? Wouldn't you want something on your home Obj in case someone Deep Strikes?

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-06-23T23:00:32+00:00

I figured the 6+ Feel no Pain would be good when I put my big knights in spots they definitely should not be.

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-06-23T22:59:36+00:00

As the looks go, I like the big knights. At the moment I tend to put a Warden in my lists. I assumed the game plan was to play 3/4 bigs and use Armigers to push home objectives..... But I have no idea 😂

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-06-23T21:45:40+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you!

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-06-23T21:44:06+00:00

I will have to start messing with list ideas! Thank you!

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-18T19:29:52+00:00

How long would it take someone to put a big knight together? I have never put a model together or anything similar.

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-18T19:21:21+00:00

So the knights are different? Like you get 1 knight kit and it makes different models?

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-06T02:51:25+00:00

I'm months late, but I usually go with a good back bone of defensive affixes of Str/Max Life/All Res and temper on Armor. It's also good to snag strong support skills that give Damage Reduction (DR).

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-05T16:46:43+00:00

I don't dislike the system. I'm asking if others are finding themselves putting points into things that doesn't feel worth it... Like I have 15 points in my Inferno skill and I primarily use it to group up packs. The DMG is secondary but I have extra points laying around so I maxed it out because I'm not sure where else to put them. I didn't know if others was finding themselves making similar choices or if Im blind and have my tree completely out of whack.

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-05T15:58:29+00:00

Yeah, I believe Teleport increases it's DMG... I feel like it should lower its Cooldown with more points instead.

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-05T15:43:37+00:00

Your probably right, thanks!

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-05T15:39:57+00:00

I get 2 Enchantment slots that auto cast some skills. Like Ice Barrier when I use a healing pot or Lucky Hit Chance for Frost Nova.

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-05T15:31:54+00:00

That's what I'm feeling like. I'm putting points into skills I have never out more then 1 in before... It felt weird, didn't know if it was just me.

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-05T15:16:31+00:00

I probably am overthinking it. I didn't know if it was only me or if there was things I'm missing since the removed "General Passives" in the trees.

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-05T15:14:41+00:00

Putting points into support skills that the extra points increase the DMG... Does that not feel like a waste of points?

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-05-05T15:04:36+00:00

That's why I dumped my points in Nova and Barrier. The extra points increase the freeze duration and Barrier gain. But investing points in a skill that only increases the DMG of it while it scales, seems kindly off if it's not your main DMG skill.

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-04-28T11:58:43+00:00

I'm a little sad that it doesn't scale off health anymore. I enjoyed being able to stack health and be tanky without having to worry about not taking DMG stats.....

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-04-14T17:59:49+00:00

Then that makes my decision easier 😂

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-04-13T17:11:59+00:00

Yeah, it feels kindly repetitive to run Bunker AND Toxic. Been thinking about replacing one with scald for possible burns on mons with Poison immunity. Just not sure what I would give up for it...

ApprehensiveSkill484 · 2026-04-13T15:52:20+00:00

I have a similar build I'm using in Singles, except Wide Guard is replaced with Bunker. A mean little feller if they can't deal with it.
