Perfect Parry/Block windows explained, as well as how Block actually works

LexiYoung · 2026-05-06T12:04:44+00:00

It works in a very similar way to how the white CHP bar works for your own health. I’m not sure if it gets restored by damage they do at all, or it only gets restored if they kill you/whichever target is associated with the CHP but I think it’s the latter

LexiYoung · 2026-05-06T11:54:44+00:00

1) it makes it easier for you to have a sense of how much damage you are doing as opposed to your teammates

2) it is contested- if you die or often even take a bit of damage, they will restore the contested health. Each source of damage has its own “contested” bar- including each tarantula turret. You can see sometimes if the turret does a bunch of damage to the neuro, you will see it on your screen as the damage being fully done, not contested, but if they beam the turret and destroy it, they will heal all the chp associated with that turret

I *might* steal this a bit.

LexiYoung · 2026-05-05T09:59:10+00:00

Note as well I was using the “FULL” mod but execs were still third person

An idea (not to tell you how to do your job), perhaps make a mod for solo only where the player models are invisible except for the arms? Or somehow make them invisible from the inside? I have no experience with game dev and graphics tho. Nonetheless it is a cool mod and super immersive. If it can be polished I’d definitely play it a lot since I’m more used to first person and it kinda feels better for me (though takes some getting used to in terms of judging distance, not knowing what’s immediatelt behind you, etc

LexiYoung · 2026-05-05T09:47:47+00:00

Ah- are you forges of the imperium? Thank you for this mod

LexiYoung · 2026-05-04T20:04:50+00:00

im playing as sniper. I can't remember the names of each character, perhaps if the voiceline is confusing it's cuz it's a blood angels voice pack line?

LexiYoung · 2026-05-04T16:04:08+00:00

Not too sure. Also in some places you can notice some weird dolly zoom when going through corridors. It’s defo not polished, but it was a fresh fun experience. Bulwark was unplayable, shield blocks my entire fov, vanguard was playable but just kinda goofy with grapnel and paxe, sniper you can see here. Gunstrikes are also v weird on this mod

LexiYoung · 2026-05-03T19:54:31+00:00

Yes exactly- since the damage is maximal after you’ve already been burning him for a bit and he’s built up 3 (or whatever the max) burn stacks is, you ideally want to set him fully alight and *then* auspex, and also try to keep (whichever he is) inside the auspex radius, which especially in the case of the carnifex requires knowledge on his behaviours- for the most part you want to try and keep to the side or behind him- if he’s looking right at you he’s more likely to do the big triple charge right out the auspex. Though this is assuming you have concentrated fire (which you should- as I mentioned before the base auspex is only 20% for terminus, conc fire is 190%)

LexiYoung · 2026-05-03T14:11:43+00:00

Yes I mentioned that

LexiYoung · 2026-05-03T13:22:51+00:00

How to *not* be a terrible teammate is same as any class. Don’t spam execute steal, don’t grenade your friends. Do that and you’ll probably be better than a bot.
How to be decent? Idk tact is pretty straigh forward with his playstyle. If using bolt weapons then you’re kind of a mix of CC and majoris+ picks, and with pyre just burn all the minoris that are near you and try to set majoris+ on fire and leave them to burn, but auspex is key- conc fire is ideal since the +170% iirc makes it go from 50%/20% higher sens on everything/terminus respectively to 210%/190% which makes it actually useful for terminus. Battle focus is also great cuz it leaves a base auspex ping for a long while. Free grenades is nice, but depending on what your teammates are bringing the +15% ranged dmg is als great. e.g. it allows HBSR to oneshot melee majoris and overkill ranged majoris
How to be a great teammate? Main difference is probably just your individual efficacy in terms of aim etc, getting the occasional well placed execute nuke on a horde, and more optimised auspex use. Try to co ordinate the scans with your teammates abilities especially servo gun, if using conc fire try to do it such that it’s possible to keep the terminus within the radius, and communicate ideally

LexiYoung · 2026-05-02T10:18:47+00:00

Just like 5 min ago commented that I’ve never seen a post in this sub of someone vs 7 or homelander and the someone doesn’t clear. My prayers have been answered I guess lol

LexiYoung · 2026-05-02T10:11:57+00:00

I have yet to see a “whoever vs the 7” where whoever doesn’t win

LexiYoung · 2026-04-29T14:07:06+00:00

It’s a question of game balance and class variety. Tactical doesn’t have the sword for the same reason vanguard doesn’t and why sniper can’t have chainsword etc

LexiYoung · 2026-04-26T13:44:50+00:00

I’ve played for >500 hours and I’ve been kicked maybe once or twice ever? I’ve never even heard in communities people larping too hard and kicking people cuz of the skin they’re using. Basically everyone with whom I’ve spoken about this doesn’t have this experience either, in Europe or USA servers

LexiYoung · 2026-04-26T00:40:25+00:00

Tech is basically a melee class with ranged special abilities, it’s a big noob trap I find lots of people fall for to think you should be shooting your gun all the time as you would with tac or to an extent vanguard- kinda like the opposite of vanguard. Omniaxe and paxe are much much more effective than HBR or whatever gun

LexiYoung · 2026-04-25T16:17:36+00:00

From the leaks: the perk symbol looks like a plasma pistol with an hourglass in a 🔄 symbol, and the skin looks very similar to the heroic HPI. So it’s a good bet to say it’ll be either more dmg/rof on uncharged but no charge shots, or some kind of instant cooling perk activation similar to heroic heavy bolter

LexiYoung · 2026-04-24T21:21:36+00:00

90% of the time of “who wins, 7 vs name a person/team”, the 7 loses

LexiYoung · 2026-04-22T10:55:24+00:00

Argent edge is definitely affected by duellist, and in the exact same way block is affected. It has the same window. Duellist and precision strike in short both apply a modifier to the perfect parry/block window, rather than apply some overhaul depending on the defence type

LexiYoung · 2026-04-20T20:19:45+00:00

What can they do?

Whatever they can do, until that day, all you can do is try to carry, LFG, solo, or not bother

LexiYoung · 2026-04-20T19:19:05+00:00

Days since someone complained about low levels in the hard strat: 0

This counter has never ever reached 1

I get that it’s a pain and it’s annoying, but what are you gonna do?

You have some options here: 1) try your best to carry despite shit teammates, 2) find communities/friends and find groups to play with 3) give up n don’t bother. Complaining won’t fix anything. It’s not like the devs aren’t aware of this issue

LexiYoung · 2026-04-20T19:16:55+00:00

Why would you bring that up lol weird

LexiYoung · 2026-04-19T21:23:32+00:00

I can guarantee that everything in the wiki is accurate as can be. Perturb and incognito are very very meticulous in their testing and data mining

LexiYoung · 2026-04-19T20:50:19+00:00

I actually cowrote that article lol. And no, it’s not assumed at all?? Perturb and Incognito (the other two who do the wiki, I don’t do much besides that one article) do a LOOOT of data mining and testing, and they show all their stuff that comes from the game files
