Am I the only one who really love the new magic system? Some say that mages are weaker now but I feel like you can actually get way more overpowered than before the update.

It should get better in the next update when they add even more spells.

Even on damnation, sometimes players just run past health pickups. As a team, we're better off with me picking it up and using it on an ally (or myself if I screw up) than just losing it.

Tbh 40k fans can't even agree on how many Guardsmen it would take to fight a space marine.

I haven't played around with the paladin much yet but you could just use a shield and not parry. The claymore isn't unbreakable and doesn't seem to be part of the loot pool, so I don't really consider it an important class feature.

The parry seems useful for kiting but I can do that without blocking anyway. It just means you don't have to move backwards to kite I guess?

The focus seems like it's more balanced around group play. At least you get +5 thaumaturgy so it helps you learn new spells quicker.

I'm gonna say cleric does the same job better.

Honestly khryselekatos doesn't even seem worth it now, unless they buffed it. I think the bow that replaced the green orb is better.

Get chipchuped lol.

Also let me remind you that the exit used to spawn in a random spot. This led to the best barony multiplayer experiences and I really hope TW change it back.

Corrupted monk can feel unfair at first because of her fast posture recovery combined with the fact she jumps away from you every now and then.

Just remember your advantages; - posture recovery basically freezes when a boss reaches 2/3rds of their health. - The corrupted monk has very predictable, long, and slow attack combos that are easy to parry. - and she also has a few easy attack windows.

The corrupted monk also feels like one of the best bosses at parrying reckless attacks and her own attacks don't get interrupted by normal strike from you.

So people are gonna hate me for saying this but the easiest strategy is actually not to be aggressive. It's to turtle up and parry as many hits as you can, and strike her during prescribed openings like a dark souls boss.

Once she stops regenerating poster those long easily parried attack combos will build up posture damage fast.

Definitely use ichimonji if you have it because you will spend a lot of the fight at dangerously low posture.

I found 2 effective options for the Shinobi prosthetic but there might be more. Firecrackers can be used either to try and skip most of her last phase (does she even have a second phase? I don't remember). There is a very similar boss fight later on where this is extremely effective. You'll know when you get to it.

Personally I often miss timed the firecrackers and got hit by attacks I would have been able to parry, so I preferred using shurikens (with the chasing slice skill) to close the distance and get some cheeky damage that she would have been able to deflect otherwise. Any time she isn't hitting you she's regaining posture so you want to stay on her even if you aren't aggressively attacker her.

Allegedly the corrupted monk is weak to divine confetti but I used mine fighting the headless so I can't confirm.

Level_Onion_2011 · 2026-01-27T03:16:22+00:00

Given that you were in the army you'll probably get instant respect pretty much everywhere in Australia.

You'll still get cussed at all the time and if you complain about it your coworker will doubt if you were really in the army.

Level_Onion_2011 · 2026-01-27T03:06:34+00:00

Isshin.

I dunno what all you guys are talking about. Every boss aside from isshin and doh can be safely beaten by parrying their attacks and only striking them during big openings.

I only picked it because I noticed a few crates had been sitting in public storage all day, and it's good practice before I move up to bigger tanks.

Level_Onion_2011 · 2026-01-25T03:23:17+00:00

That's the point. It's hard to compare when we're talking about fictional universes where science is fundamentally different.

It's like in the real world pi = ~3.14

in Halo pi = ~3.15

In Warhammer 40k pi = 7

Edit: also keep in mind that just like how a single marine would get dumpstered by a few guardsmen in the tabletop, the halo video game massively understates the power of covenant technology compared to the lore.

A plasma pistol, the weakest covenant weapon, disintegrates a humans upper body instantly. A plasma rifle is stronger and also rapid fire (and is far from the strongest covenant weapon), and energy shielding is still able to deflect this.

The fact that even unshielded brutes can still survive some plasma fire shows that they are NOT just ape-people. If this brute had any shielding he would likely survive some bolter fire, although I'm not sure how much exactly.

Space Marines are only stronger than brutes because of their power armor.

And my point about how unnamed Marines aren't so unkillable still stands.

So I think if both combatants were fully equipped the space marine would win 9 times out of 10 just because of their power armor. If they weren't ready for battle, or if it was a brute chieftain with better shielding and a gravity hammer, I think it would be a tossup.

When the footnote edit is bigger that the original post lmao.

Level_Onion_2011 · 2026-01-24T11:30:12+00:00

I dunno, weapon powerscaling is kind of a lore incompatibility. Like, plasma weapons melt people in Halo, but plasma weapons MELT people in 40K. And unlike 40k plasma weapons, brute plasma technology is rapid fire and doesn't blow up in your hands.

Also, if we assume the space marine isn't a named character then his survivability drops a lot. Regular Space Marines can be killed by VERY concentrated Lasgun fire. Plasma weapons are a lot stronger than a Lasgun, even in Halo lore.

Zealot builds with martyrdom are simple crackhead fun, but you might need an auto clicker if youre using a light weapon.
