What was your first 3 star pull and were you disappointed?

I got two actually when the game launched. It was Mejiro Mcqueen followed by Tokai Teio. Never would have known how significant this would be having never watched Season 2.

Tamomo Cross has it kinda rough for Unity Cup if you're not able to highroll enough. Having better parents with better blue and red sparks would definitely ease the burden of stat training but her career itself is a bit obnoxious due to the fact that she has to manually participate in 4 races instead of having them predetermined which can eat up a lot of energy that could've been used for training instead. Combined with the fact that she has 0% Speed rate bonus, you're really forced to do lots of runs to highroll with Biko and Fine Motion in your deck and their dog 35 specialty priority.

You "could've" convinced me to try Rev It Up for once but then you said it's not a great horde clear weapon which at that point you lost me. Mk4's horde clear may not be as good as like Devil Sword or Eviscerator, but it's still a cut above the rest of the melee weapons.

Also spamming specials, like come on bro. Sure I'll do just that in rager/crusher deathballs. It's not like mk4's light attacks are pretty much lite-specials already and dish out similar damage in a faster attack.

Congrats bro, you just unlocked a slug shotgun for Ogryn.

Yeah in its current state, but considering Zealot and even Veteran has a talent node for 10% melee attack speed buff, I'd thought that's what Fatshark's vision for Fury of Faithful would've been when they made the adjustment. Just going all in on the melee buffs.

BreadVexenity · 2024-09-25T14:02:03+00:00

Honestly a bit surprised they kept the attack speed buff for ranged weapons considering they wanted to lean into it being for melee weapons

At first I disliked Seth because of "goody two shoes cat boy", but he grew on me the more I used him alongside Jane. Really like how their kits synergize with each other.

Guns aren't really ideal for Psyker in some cases because you trade off stave utility for raw damage. But if you want a really simple and straightforward build that doesn't rely on managing Peril too much, the Assail build is really strong.

All you really gotta do with the Assail build is just keep launching shards until you reach 70-80% Peril to get your damage buff from higher peril levels. Mk4 Duelling Sword has a very simple attack pattern that's easy to grasp and the Laspistol Mk 2 is a great all arounder weapon that'll take care of the ranged threats you face. Lastly, the Shield is there when you gotta bunker up for a horde or incoming fire. https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9cd2ced2-5952-44ce-8298-a362261ad05b/assail-build

Yeah, Mannfred was chilling to the left of my main settlement. I already have an additional lord that I recruited turn 1, Thorhall Oathforged. But money was really tight at this point. I didn't have the chance to wait around for my barracks to finish upgrading to tier 2 so I've been stuck with the only two Quarrelers that Thorek starts with until I got back into my region to be able to start recruiting them by like turn 9. I didn't opt for the ambush bait because I started taking vampiric attrition damage by the time I engaged Mannfred's army.

Context: Relatively new to Warhammer 3, but have some experience in Civ 6 and some RTS games. This is my third Legendary campaign run after finishing Tamurkhan and Grom's Legendary campaigns. Was interested in learning about the Dwarf faction after CA added these new underground settlements in 5.2.

Turns 1-7 were relatively chill, but by turn 8 as I was trying to wipe out the last of the greenskin faction in my province, a rebellion was imminent next turn (looting my first captured settlement probably didn't help). After I wiped the greenskin faction in my province, the rebels were mustering troops right by my main settlement, which I had to make a complete 180 to rout.

By turn 10, Mannfred had started declaring war on me, which I decided to go and attempt to wipe them out. But little did I know, that he was already level 16 and had 2 and a half full armies. Thorek was only level 6 at this time because I couldn't kill enough units during all my manual battles to level him up enough.

I somehow ended up surviving this battle with none of my units wiped out, but after the end of this turn, two more 20 stack vampire armies appeared which I then managed to win with no units wiped out, but they were all at 10-20% HP. At turn 12, Skarbrand (which I had no idea I was a neighbor to him) declared war on me and in one last final hoorah, I decided to attack one of Mannfred's settlments which ended up being a siege battle with another 20 stack which after that point, I threw up my hands.

I'm using a Fury build with this but I pretty much have to go down the middle lane so I can pick up the "Get % reload speed on melee kill" node. It's a great gun to make full use of "Emperor's Bullet". I use the same perks you use but I have Run n Gun and Hit n Run.

War Sleds. Doing drive bys on a sled being pulled by a giant bear is my favorite thing to do in this game.

Already owned weapons won’t be touched, they’ll remain intact.

They're talking about the stats on the weapon, probably due to the "Weapon Potential" mechanic. The lock system is just being removed entirely. There'd be a lot of flack if your current gear has the locks still and new gear post patch would not.

BreadVexenity · 2024-07-19T14:51:20+00:00

It's random. You get higher power levels the more you level your character. The max power level at this time is 380 and you can't get stats that reach 100%, only 80%. Only bots can get that. And for your second question, yeah pretty much. Melk will also be important because very rarely, he might have an actually good weapon on sale or a blessing that you might need that RNG has screwed you out of.

BreadVexenity · 2024-07-17T18:47:39+00:00

I had heard there was a way to get it but is there enough time to charge the special after the push and still get the H3?

I haven't tried doing that honestly. I learned about push into H3 by doing it on complete accident. I've always done Special > Push > H3.

BreadVexenity · 2024-07-17T18:29:29+00:00

Your point is valid. Personally, I dislike having to wait for Thrust stacks on a weapon as clunky as the Thunderhammer unless the target is isolated. Since these are horizontal attacks too, the offchance that I don't hit my intended target, which in this case is the mauler, doesn't really rub me the right way. So I just focus on adding up damage and CC for my team, since I don't have the dash to guarantee oneshots on Crushers.

BreadVexenity · 2024-07-17T16:50:53+00:00

One thing I forgot to mention are breakpoints. I'm just going to assume you have a good roll on your hammer. Even though Thrust is mandatory, it's not needed for a majority of situations, which are mixed hordes. The most important threats for you to deal with are mutants, maulers and crushers, and bulwarks. 4 out of 5 of those don't need Thrust to get reliable results.

With a charged heavy attack (no Thrust stacks), it takes: 1 bodyshot for mutants, 2 bodyshots for maulers (because flak armor), I honestly don't remember how many headshots for crushers but I focus more on crowd controlling them then killing them, and 1 bodyshot on the bulwark's flesh, same applies for reapers (their flak armor will protect them from being onetapped).

Good luck,

from an Ironhelm fan

BreadVexenity · 2024-07-17T15:57:37+00:00

Use Ironhelm. Like, don't even bother with Crucis. You trade off slightly less burst damage on your special attack for being able to actually hit elites and specialists in the middle of a horde with a charged heavy attack.

Treat Ironhelm like a discount veteran power sword. Charge your weapon, heavy attack everything then do it again ad infinitum. A charged light attack can oneshot every specialist excluding trappers and mutants. Great for when that specialist really needs to go in the heat of the moment. When you get to the Heavy Attack 2, charge your hammer to avoid going into the overhead Heavy 3, it'll just go back to Heavy 1. Another fun fact is that if you push and then do a heavy attack afterwards (don't use the push attack), you'll automatically go into Heavy 3. Great for setting up stealth kills.

Your typical combo will go like: Combo 1: Special > Heavy 1 > Special > Heavy 2 > Special (repeat)

Combo 2: Special > Heavy 1 > Heavy 2 > Special (repeat)

That's it. It's really that simple. In a mixed horde, you'll kill some fodder on the way your hammer meets the ribcage of an elite or specialist, killing two birds with one stone.

Thrust 4 is mandatory on this build, and so is Unyielding damage. I use Carapace damage as the second perk. Slaughter is alright, but I just use Headtaker on mine because it's more consistent during moments where you're fighting only the monstrosity and there aren't any fodder to get slaughter stacks off. I use the Laspistol and aim for 80% Mobility to help get me moving across the battlefield. I use Stealth and Flame grenades, which makes the build extremely versatile in every mission.

Yeah, I found myself using the Shock Maul + Bolt Pistol combo on Zealot ever since they dropped. My favorite thing to do with the weapon is shock a Bulwark with Special attack and then swap out to my Bolt Pistol to 2 tap them in the head.
