    Big shout out and thank you again to TinyAngryCrab, who shows us the power and knowledge of sentient crustaceans in this intimate breakdown of the Mark 6 Power Sword. The basic "god roll" he suggests right now is 25% Maniac and 10% Elite perks, with Brutal Momentum and Power Cycler. Tons of really great info in here, from how to Block cancel the Activation, to best weapon combos for certain situations, and hidden mechanics of Power Swords. Let us know if you have any questions!

    na brutal momentum sucks compared to sunder, which is infinite cleave on *every* charged attack. +25% carapace lets you pushattack+light(or 2, depends on the variant) one combo crusher with headshot consistently(unless somehow your statrolls are way too low) without brutal momentum's weakspot dmg. Sunder will let you swing into a bulwark/crusher while killing/staggerlocking multiple ragers around it. Brutal momentum falls apart where you can't oneshot stuff; Sunder doesn't care how many ragers are in front of you - swing away and they're all staggered. 10% weakspot(even 8% will do if stat rolls are high enough, for maniac ragers) damage lets you 3 (light) charged swing a rager with headshot even if your stat rolls are meh. 25% maniac isn't that great because you one shot/one combo(maybe one headshot heavy needed for mutant, if you still don't kill in 3 charged hits, use light 4 which does decent singletarget damage even without charge, same with rager - if you didn't kill it in 3 hits, light 4 will do it) just about any maniac armor enemy. That and there is flak armor ragers. And ragers/maulers...etc. are all irrelevant since you staggerlock them all with charged light swings that have infinite cleave(due to sunder). If you need singletarget dps(in case of monster...etc.) you have the gun on vet, a las gun with crit5%, 25% unyielding, and infernus 4 will do hilarious amount of dps(over 600dps on the burn damage alone). No need for left side 30% weakspot dmg...etc. Go right side for rending stacks(recon lasgun still shreds) and melee attack speed...etc. Hell shooting ult sucks too because some of the dmg is (rightfully) put into weakspot damage, and weakspot isn't always available/viable. Press F to res noob team + give everyone 100 more toughness(if you kill a ton of specials like hunting ground dogs you can stack it with itself for 200). 19:32 - that sounds like an issue of people who don't have Sunder / doesn't use the shout ult. Overall, too many bs as if he's justifying how op the crutchsword is. You have 4 dodges, hammer used to have 2(now 3); those are not bad dodges. With Sunder - everything in front of you is CC'd(unless crusher/monster...etc.) so you have time to regain effective dodges by the next time you charge up the crutchsword(after 3 light swings). Took a hit? Press F for toughness refill +100 toughness(so even if you take another hit for whatever reason, it's not going to hurt much - currently it also blocks poxburster explosion corruption) + everything around you is staggered(including monsters, which means you can stagger monster 4 times in a row with krak nades + 1 ult).

And play auric only(because more specials == more special kills == more -6s cooldown, one swing of crutchsword kills like 5+ hunting ground dogs for 30s+ cdr). I've been stress testing it by going 99% melee; only pulling out gun when burning down monster or shooting unreachable sniper...etc. The rapid fire lasguns (recon or even infantry; faster is better but MG Ia infantry lasgun can onetap sniper to head at range, which can be useful sometimes) can easily deal with crushers with the rending stacks.

    What TinyAngryCrab says at around 19:20 about how difficult to use the MKVI is is precisely why I use the MKIII. The amount of trigger discipline and the need to prioritize blocking square to the incoming damage rather than dodging is also an issue. Even in the Psychanium, how often did we see TAC screw up the block canceling or the three crushers demo? And for the rest of us to try to pull that off in the middle of a damnation maelstrom or even auric maelstrom is likely beyond the capabilities of most (myself included). So, the 'noob trap' isn't necessarily that it's trash (I know, TAC doesn't say this exactly), but a weapon you can be competent at is > the weapon you can hardly be adequate with.

    I'm glad you made this video because when the patch notes dropped and I saw how they changed the PS 6 I was a little confused. I saw how they added the block cost reduction stating that they wanted the 6 to be the more defensive option and was like "OK so what are they going to do to the 3 to compensate for that?". And the answer is...nothing. They straight up just made one sword better than the other. I was disappointed but I have a really good PS 6 myself, so it was no problem. I just hope they add something to the PS 3 to make it a more viable option as well.

    3 still has a much smoother moveset, angle of heavy attack is just right for hitting everything in the head. (instead of charged light spam, do heavy1+light+light) And the downward push attack is a little easier to headshot with(not that stab is difficult), you can still one combo a crusher with pushattack+light+light if you have 25% carapace. You never needed block cancel...etc. because activation could be done while sliding to avoid slowdown.

    what are you saying, Mk3 finishes its charge up way faster, it also doesnt give you any movement penalty while doing the special activation, not to mention its heavy attacks are faster and cover more area than Mk6's heavy attacks. In general, it's still way better than Mk6 in terms of general horde-clearing, not really sure what you want more from it....Mk6 really just got some additional defensive traits to it.

    @@EcchiRevenge The 6 still gets that downward slash after it's stab on push attack... Meaning you can do TWO quick and very strong empowered hits for single target on the 6. As it stands, the 6 is simply better at everything you want the powersword to be good at currrently. Fast light attacks that oneshot all horde with brutal momentum, and stabbing push attacks that obliterate crushers, mutants, and monstrosities. The powersword 3 needs something going for it other than, "uhh, it's heavy attacks are a good sweeping animation." Because the 3 doesn't clear horde any faster than the 6, and it certainly has a slower TTK against big targets than the 6 now.

    @@sivel7493what are you talking about? The charge time are basically identical except the mark 6 has cancels that keep the charge active, which makes it better. Being briefly slowed down during activation is negligible and doesn’t have any real impact. The heavies go the same distance it’s just the mark 3 is horizontal and mark 6 is diagonal. When it comes to horde clear there is no advantage to either, you’re just using charged lights instead of charged heavies, the TTK is basically the same. With the better strike downs, push attacks, cancels, and defenses the mark 6 is far superior.

    This video is very good for new people trying to get into the deeper execution mechanics of the Tide games. It delves into mechanics and math that some weapons rely on to work, and these mechanics are not terribly obvious to newer or more casual players. Very good especially for showing how much deeper weapons like the mk6 power sword can be Definitely think this video could have done with less time giving attention to less experienced players that make up stereotypes about users or uses of certain weapons. Most weapons have depth and high skill demand somewhere, likewise those weapons can also shine in ways that are "braindead" too, this is not just a power sword thing. Best to ignore stereotypes. :p If you do more weapon deep dives I'd definitely like to hear more stuff regarding team/build synergies and secondaries that compliment the wep (and vice versa). Felt like those aspects were lacking a bit in this video despite them being huge dynamics in a co-op hybrid combat game. Loved the video regardless, very informative.

    As a Zealot main what I am mostly taking away from this is on the higher difficulties I should expect 99% of vets with power sword to die horrificlly in any crowded situation, Which is an improvement because I had been working on the principle it was 100% of power sword users. On the other hand I am fairly sure I can leave Crushers for them to sort out and save my effort in trying to rescue them because they are more suited to it than most of typical builds (unless I am rocking the one tap hammer ofc).

    Power swords are one of the few things that i feel they didn't do a great job on in Darktide. I kinda wish that power weapons had a rechargeable battery instead, forcing you to use them kinda like a plasma gun, where you can swing with infinite charge until it runs out of battery, and then you need to wait for a cooldown before it begins to recharge. Alternatively I wouldn't have minded if they treated it exactly like the chainsword or power maul where the charge up only lasts for a single swing but that single swing was incredible. Hopefully the power axe feels like that when/if they add it.

    The thing I hate about the power sword is power cycler itself. I have over 400 hours in this game and i have never once seen power cycler 2 show up as a blessing. The power sword was a ton of fun before they nerfed it many months ago in favor of requiring power cycler 2 to really utilize the charge much at all. Ive tried to use it and without that extra power cycle charge it just feels underwhelming to use compared to something like chain sword, tac axe, or even the devils claw. I know its still viable without maxed out power cycle but the weapon just doesnt feel right to me without the extra engergized swing. I think fatshark did us dirty by locking a core weapon functionality behind a seemingly extremely rare blessing.

    I never use swords in Darktide because they borked the sounds for swords slashing enemies so badly. They are Vermintide 1 levels of bad. Vermintide 2 they fixed the swords and other weapon sounds slicing through enemies and they were perfect. Then in Darktide they ruined it again, get ready for sounds of cabbage being sliced.. I just can't Fatshark. You need to fix it. You won't, you'll make it worse, but I wish you would fix it.

    ''courage grow strong in a wound'' With the idea that hardships makes one stronger is not at all ''fortune cookie'' bullcrap. you don't have to look far for examples of that so i will keep it simple. look at literally any military around the world, in particular special forces and special forces training, courage is something that can be trained, very much like faith, fear, anger, resentment and spite, resilience, love and compassion. i'll keep it simple so i'll give a simple example, monks practicing theravada. despite what you might believe, humans are moldable for whatever you'd like them to be, both the the individual themselves or by their hierarchical social structure
