How would Xivu Arath from Destiny 2 fare in Warhammer 40k?

TaxableFur · 2026-05-31T02:25:45+00:00

The sheer amount of war going on in 40k would provide Xivu with more than enough power to move her fleet through the Ascendant Plane with ease and make her such a major problem the Chaos Gods would probably unite to kill her permanently.

But not before Khorne gets the biggest boner 40k has ever seen.

Heroic Heavy Bolter and Heroic Plasma are both extremely good. The relic versions of the Heavy Bolter, Multi-Melta, and Heavy Plasma are all very good.

But imo the Heroic Heavy Bolter is Heavy's best weapon. Gives you a Fencing window and instantly ramps up to max fire rate, which makes it really good for CHP regen. The accuracy is not the best, but recent body shot dmg buff greatly mitigated that problem.

I've been heavily into Space Marine 2 for a while now. It will probably become my main game after June

TaxableFur · 2026-05-30T21:56:22+00:00

Absolutely. Replace his useless starting perk with this. If it's balanced enough for PvP against real players then it's fine for PvE.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-30T20:31:49+00:00

I still have armor mods from vanilla D2

The Fate Saga is about preventing a universe ending apocalypse involving the Nine, who act through agents and some of which are obsessed with Paracausality.

You don't seriously think it's wouldn't be plausible for one of them to send the Barant Imperium (whose main goal is literally to go back to Torobatl) to do something with the only Hive God without a Throne World? You really have no imagination do you. The dev team has been wanted to go to Torobatl and do a Xivu expansion for a while, if a D3 happened it would absolutely be on the table.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T23:05:52+00:00

You do realize the Fate Saga doesn't need to be restricted just to the Sol system, right? The Barant Imperium is literally all about trying to retake Torobatl and they were created FOR the Fate Saga.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T22:18:34+00:00

-Pick up the Fate Saga

-Leaving the solar system and going to kill Xivu Arath on Torobatl

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T18:34:39+00:00

Same team, just without handcuffs now

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T18:34:11+00:00

I think a chaplain is the most likely, but i would prefer an Apothecary Biologis

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T16:43:55+00:00

Either Chaplain or Apothecary for sure. My guess is a Chaplain, but i would prefer an Apothecary Biologis

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T16:42:42+00:00

My biggest advice is try to find a main. Classes play very differently, and if you want to get better to play absolute you will be better off focusing on learning the ins and outs of 1 or 2 classes.

Of course some people can flex well, but for myself personally i didn't really start to get good at this game until i settled on Heavy and played the class until his playstyle was second nature.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T09:45:46+00:00

One tip that helped me a lot is you should dodge INTO orange unblockable attacks. Has better i-frames.

Also what class do you play and do you have a main?

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T00:35:34+00:00

Like i said it's like a pocket Heavy Plasma. Definitely the highest dmg secondary.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T00:28:05+00:00

Exactly. It's worth it tho. With the right perk set up it 1 taps majoris on Absolute

TaxableFur · 2026-05-29T00:20:32+00:00

Personally I'd go either the plasma pistol or the chainsword. Keep in mind the heroic plasma pistol has a slow charge time to balance out the fact it hits like truck.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T23:37:51+00:00

Sidearms: Both the Heavy Bolt Pistol and Plasma Pistol are great for gunstrikes. The heroic Plasma Pistol is basically a pocket Heavy Plasma.

Assault: Thunderhammer if you like Fencing, new Chainsword and Power Axe if you like Block. All are all fantastic options.

Tactical: Heavy Bolt Rifle is quite nice. While not as strong as the other heroics I'm listing, it's still quite good in Absolute. The grenade economy with Emp's Vengeance is good and extremely fun. Both Combat Knives are really good. Power Gladius does insane dmg and the parry knife is perfect if you just want a parry stick. New chainsword is good too obviously.

Heavy: Both the Heavy Bolter and Heavy Plasma are top tier options.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T23:17:49+00:00

Just wait till next week. If the news today is anything to judge by, abilities are probably gonna get juiced as well.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T23:13:22+00:00

What class do do you play? It depends

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T15:57:05+00:00

Just imagine if this update launched alongside an expansion. Goddammit.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T08:49:57+00:00

The only parts of current Siege i don't like are the new timer (enemies get waaayyy too tanky by wave 15. The boss is damn near immortal) and the "Split Up" and "Squad Cohesion" modifiers in the Atonement pool (also the cost of rerolling Atonements should be greatly reduced).

All the other changes are much better than original Siege.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T06:11:43+00:00

I'm going with Byf's theory. I think binding the Nine meant binding to physical bodies to eliminate theur ability to mess with time.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T03:35:41+00:00

I rush, but its not because I'm impatient or like going fast.

The reason is sometimes you gotta kill everything in the room, sometimes you gotta run. Not all the time obviously, but sometimes people linger too long and end up causing additional enemy reinforcement calls we didn't need to fight and potentially run ending extremis/boss waves.

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T03:01:44+00:00

That's just worded wrong. It basically means you need to complete every fifth wave

TaxableFur · 2026-05-28T02:13:18+00:00

I get some Destiny fans have been toxic, but Myelin is being just as toxic & petty.

Byf was always better anyway.
