Glad you enjoy it!

I can confirm with Unstable Power III (60% Peril) & Uncanny Strike IV with 6 Warp Charges & Warp Unleashed on a Deimos with 20% Carapace 76% Damage, 80% Finesse & 80% First Target will give you that 2 shot breakpoint on the Crusher (non-crits). From what I can tell, I think it MIGHT be possible to 1 shot the Crusher on a perfect Deimos with Unstable Power IV (80% Peril) & Uncanny Strike IV if you manage to land the crit. For reference I'm dealing 2035 non-crit damage and 2305 crit damage (Crusher HP is 2550). I'm missing 4% Deimos Damage, 5% Carapace Damage and Unstable Power IV. This might be valuable to you Ryken or someone else if you're good with numbers.

This was great. Thanks for the work and insight. Do keep the great content flowing - it's much appreciated!

Been using this sword w/ fire staff and it works wonders. Purge staff clears horde, stabby boy takes out anything tough enough to make it close. I think Deflector is necessary for any sword paired with Purge staff

Another excellent video. Keep up the great work Ryken

Great videos, keep them coming :) Thank you for the work!

Awesome review and vid. Thanks

I personally love illusi on everything except for the purge and purgatus staffs where I take diemos. Great for picking off harder targets left over from the staffs. Light thrust is extremely fast and hits hard and far.

Good informational as always. Couldn't understand the Illisi Hype . Deimos is just so insanely good and all you need is some nice special/elite hard hitter to pair with hord staffs. This sword is a beast.

Another great vid, cheers!

You're my new favorite content creator. Your videos are a treasure trove of great information. After 700 hrs you've got me once again interested in this mismanaged game.

Cool discoveries!

You can also access the 2nd heavy via push heavy and push attack heavy. That's especially useful when you want to headshot an elite mid trash (push into heavy) or an elite that you want to CC first (push attack into heavy). You can also sprint during your first 2nd heavy but not in chain (when it starts to do the diagonal lights). I like to run Unstable Power 4 with Deflector Deimos on my Trauma build. Trauma already creates a safe spot mid horde so I just pull out Deimos to quickly kill elites/specials that get too close. It brings the warp charge requirement down for that mutant one shot head shot with the 2nd heavy.

Madly in love with this force Sword variant, but I'm terrible at the whole "build" stuff, so this was bloody helpful, cheers~

This is by far my favorite Force Sword. It has noticeably better mobility than the other two, almost on par with axes. It absolutely shreds any single targets even without the Uncanny Strike. And it is surprisingly decent against the hordes, if you focus on headshots. I use it with Deflector and Unstable Power and it's a great combo for me, because oftentimes when I switch to sword for fights, I am at a very high peril already. Combined with the Warp Unleashed, it is almost as effective on hordes and groups of enemies as Illisi, though for a very limited time while you are at high peril.

Finally built a Deimos Doombringer. This thing is nuts! Thanks for the video.

Your videos are awesome man! Amazing work as always!

Thanks a ton!

I thought I "tested" this weapon. Your testing is at a whole other level. I love this sword even more now.

Thank you for explaining the arbitrary language of the damage effects in your videos! (example: Bleed, crit, soul blaze, rending, cleave, etc.)

Your video just saved me from replacing a tier 4 uncanny on my deimos. You sir, just earned another sub.

Good review, I'd just like to add to what you say around 7:38 : it is in fact possible to go straight into heavy attack 2, you just have to do a push first which doesn't count as an attack but still chains into heavy 2!

This has been my go-to sword ever since I picked one up! I was a little disappointed with the Unstable Power blessing on it, until I realized just holding it out with high peril helps my Soulblaze kill things quicker. Even without one-shotting things, it helps shore up a lot of the weaknesses of the Purgatus staff, which is my personal favorite.

You forgot one combo! You can also push attack and it chains directly into Heavy 2. Great video!

@SanguisNubilum

Жыл бұрын

Normal push does it too, as long as you don't sprint. For some reason if you sprint it resets the heavy into the first heavy of the chain.

Fun detail on the Deimos: if you hold down LMB after a push attack, you’ll do a thrust. Which can be a warp strike

Great video, very informative, you saved me as I thought to remove t3 Uncanny Strike from my Deimos. As second blessing on it I have t4 Blazing Spirit - should I replace it? It sounds good but I guess Slaughterer is better. I am new in game. Thank you very much for your hard work.

I found a real good way to combo the first light attack indefinitely using two mechanics: 1. Holding LMB (primary attack) for a short time so as to start the heavy attack animation, but not too long that it turns into a heavy, the game will interpret it as a light attack instead. 2. If you tap RMB (block) while charging a heavy the attack chain will reset back to the first heavy. Doing both of these at the same time with the deimos turns your next attack into the first light no matter where you are in a combo chain without having to fully interrupt the chain, but It's a tight timing and I've only been able to get it to work on my (75% finesse) Deimos. It's a great combo for when you want to quickly stab a bunch of spread out shooters, or when you want to consistently get that 2nd heavy out no matter where you're at in a chain. Despite there being basically no pause however, you will still lose shred stacks apon reseting the chain.

Amazing content again! Now, I know the blazing spirit blessing is not very good, but since you have had the time to test and review all the force swords so far, I'm really curious; if I want to put T4 blazing spirit on a force sword (mostly for theme/fun play), out of the three which would you recommend, and what other blessing works best with it? Maybe bloodthirsty or ripost? Based on this review, the deimos seems like the best choice (though not the best for the sword as you said), or if purely revolving around the blazing spirit blessing another sword choice? Maybe the Illisi for it's quicker warp strike animation - to activate bloodthirsty which then activates blazing spirit?

@rykenxiv

For fun, I would go with the Illisi - pair Blazing Spirit IV with Shred and Wildfire and if you have a keen eye you will observe an interesting interaction between ;) Also with Illisi I can cosplay as the Witch King of Angmar with its Burning Blade (google it if you're not sure what I'm talking about!)

sweeet that is the same combo i use

those damage ticks during the warp charged sword latch counting as your melee damage and applying on-hit effects is actually a huge eye-opener for me. is it the same with any other weapon that has the sort of latch DOT like chain weapons?

@rykenxiv

Жыл бұрын

From my limited testing I'm not sure if its the same or not. That being said, Chain weapons have very little that could take advantage of it - only one that might work is Wrath - which increases your cleave on hit. So even then, it doesn't seem to be as useful as the Force Swords simply because of Blessing options. Though if you do learn something do share!

I'm using it with slaughterer and deflector with great success in damnation. Don't sweat too much for a perfect one. 370+ base and these blessings takes you far imo :)

Can you cover the push attack for force swords? I have no idea what its good for if its even good at all.

@rykenxiv

Жыл бұрын

The push attack of the force sword can knock down practically anything - even Crushers!

I run unstable power + slaughterer, on a high peril build. The damage is ludicrous.

Pykers became Jedi with these swords and deflector.

I am also constantly broke in darktide due to always trying to make a perfect weapon lol.

Only for the crusher bit. I think you'll be able to two-shot a Crusher with this build. This Force sword with stats like these: 75-80% dmg, 75- 80% weakspot, 75-80% Special dmg. PickWarp battery feat for 24% more dmg on 6 Warp charges If you put Perks: +25% dmg vs Carapace armour +10% dmg vs Elites (Curshers are Elites) Blessings: Uncanny strike (+5-20% rending on weakspot hit) Executor (+2-5% power on repeated weakspot hit, stacks up to 5 times) This would be a hinderence when dealing with Mutants or other Maniac type enemies though.

You're a mad scientist

Absolutely LOVE the videos. I’m new to Warhammer and these types of games in general. Do you have a guide for Psyker levelling? Assuming I just take the sword at level 2 until I get the staff? Would be great help for us noobs!

@rykenxiv

Жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed the video! I do have a Psyker guide but its a little out of date with all the recent changes that have happened to the class as of late.. I'll give you some basic pointers here instead! Early game leveling for Psyker will be a little grueling since the Psyker really comes online once they get their final column feats. In addition, the early level staves you get will be of low base rating (low stats) and this can make the staves (especially the Trauma Staff) feel very bad to use. But don't let this stop you! If you don't like how a staff feels in the early levels, just put it down and wait till you get a higher level one and try it again! The staves become much better to use once you get higher base ratings as you level up! In the beginning, you'd probably be better off using guns and playing as GunPsyker - I have a recent video of that you can use as a reference - hope that will help you. GunPsykers are perfectly viable in this game - don't let anyone tell you otherwise. A Psyker's kit allows them to get so many free damage buffs that apply to everything they use. For instance, Warp Unleashed (2nd Column feat), gives you a base 10% damage to everything just for having it selected, combine this with your Warp Charges giving you a stacking damage buff and you can literally out damage even Veterans with the same gun without doing much else. Once you get higher base rating weapons, staves start to feel more usable (don't let this stop you from trying them out!). In terms of ease of use, the Purgatus (flamethrower, horde clear) and the Surge (Lightning, CC) are the most forgiving of the 4. The Voidstrike is similar to using a rocket launcher and is a projectile weapon that can mow down hordes from afar. The Trauma Staff probably has the highest skill potential of all of them but requires a good eye for judging distance and decent game sense to make the most of it. It's a jack of all trades weapon that is usable everywhere and on every difficulty (I use this when I want to play "seriously" and I also main it). Melee weapons wise, the Illisi (check out the review for that!) is an all-rounder that can be used if want a very forgiving weapon. The Deimos has a much higher potential but is less forgiving because of its narrower damage arc (this means you need a good grasp of positioning and dodging to counter its weakness and make the most of it). Otherwise, pick a melee you enjoy using and try to get a feel for it, see if you enjoy using it! Any weapon can be made usable in a Psyker's hands. Also, since you are new Psyker - I highly recommend you check out the Psykinetic's Wrath video as well as the Malice Trap and Annoying Habits video too! These were designed to help inform new players about little things they should know about the game! As for feats, it will generally depend on what you are trying to accomplish with your build, so its hard for me to give you a straight build here. That being said, the build in the GunPsyker video is a universal Brain Burst build that will always be useful no matter what, so you could take that as a placeholder until you feel familiar enough with build crafting on your own! Hope this wall of text helps you my (new) sibling!

@@ryuksythe8826 Buy any weapon from Brunt's armoury to try out and see if you like using them! If you do like them, at most upgrade to blue to try and get a useful blessing on it. Save up resources for properly upgrading later on - the higher up you go, the better stats your weapons will be along with the potential it can reach. Upgrading should only be done if you want to try to maximize the potential of the weapon or to farm for Tier 4 Blessings (i.e. Bloodthirsty, Power Cycler, etc...) But this can be very expensive to do and will take a toll of your resources (especially plasteel). In the meantime, I think it would be best to just fish for weapons to extract its blessings at Hadron (Under "Earn Blessing"). Get weapons from end of mission rewards or buying from the armoury. The grind for this game is little too punishing and I hope they further improve it in the coming patches. That being said, one of the best things you can do i stick on +Ordo Docket perks on your curios just so you can make the most out of the rewards you're getting from your missions. (+10% dockets on 3 curious gives you a pretty substantial boost to your dockets). You'll need lots of dockets for re-rolling contracts with Melk and purchasing weapons from the armoury (especially high stat rolls)! Don't worry too much about trying to grind for "God-rolls". It's a goal to reach but not one that needs to be done in any hurry. In fact, for weapons, a decent blue is often good enough to make a difference to your gameplay - just try to aim for blessings I've listed as "Anchor Blessings" - these blessings are generally very helpful even on their own. A strong blue weapon will likely yield a decently powerful orange when full upgraded and enhanced. Hope this helps!

The multi hit on activation is currently broken. Executor doesn't even proc. Uncanny strike does get 4 stacks but otherwise has no effect.

I'm still relatively new to Psyker so maybe I'm missing something, but why would you need a sword built specifically to kill crushers when you can also brainburst them in barely more time than that without the need to sacrifice a blessing slot?

how about G+M1

Please don't fall into the 'keep watching to find out' habit. Your video's are already very entertaining and informative. Any time I head someone say "keep watching etc" my first instinct is to leave.

Hey Ryken, are you aware Unstable Power stacks 4 times? Imo it's easily the best damage blessing after Slaughterer as unlike Riposte and Shred you can consistently keep it up and even OPEN combat with extra power allowing you to hit higher breakpoints without any slaughterer stacks.

@IroskTheOrc

Жыл бұрын

Obviously just in my opinion!

@rykenxiv

Жыл бұрын

Yes I do! I personally feel Unstable Power to be useful in its own way - specifically if you have a Force Sword with very low Warp Resist. Low Warp Resist Force Swords can cost up to 31% Peril to cast, and that can give you an instant spike in Peril to more consistently make use of the Power Bonus of Unstable Power. That being said, I think Unstable Power is probably best paired with Warp Unleashed (these 2 sync together perfectly) while your sword is blessed for more Utility (Deflector and Uncanny for example). This combination gives you the best of both defensive strength without lacking a damage buff! Of course, this is geared towards a strong melee playstyle and pairs nicely with Gunpsykers rather than staves!

This is awesome but if you run unstable 4 with slaughterer 4 with elite damage I can 1 shot a crusher with a heavy powered attack to the head. If you want I can send you my Deimos build

Posty posty! 1st!

to go directly into heavy 2 on the deimos: (power up) push attack into heavy, see its 2. And NOONE powers up this force sword, better to just uncharge heavies.

You can 1/2 shot crushers with the charge, and I'd use it against dogs or muties so they can't move or shift during the attack. More questionable against the bulwark but it can stagger them easier.

oo! I learned something new today! Thank you for sharing - didn't occur to me this could work on the Deimos! (on the Obscurus it doesn't work the same). The key use of being able to go straight into heavy 2 was to make use of the guaranteed crit from Bloodthirsty - your solutions helps to get there!

I do wish the force block didn't blind you so much. Crit chance on hit, Shred and soulblaze when you have a soulblaze build is much stronger. That said, I hope they don't nerf rending by changing the armor type to "none" when you are at 100% rending. Rending w crit chance and Shred I find is more consistent on one or two tapping bulwarks.

Conpared to all other melee weapons Psyker has, the Blaze Sword is literally a no-brain choice to how much versatility it gives with only a melee weapon.

What are the reasons to take any other melees then?

Most psyker staves already kill hordes, doesn't seem worth it to take another horde killing option over the huge damage potential of the deimos. If I want to turn my brain off I also sometimes just spam deimos light attacks to kill hordes in damnation just fine.

With the special having each tick of damage act as it's own instance of damage, I wonder if that will be able to proc Brain Burst for that "proc on any hit" feat. Otherwise it's not crazy to think you'd have a slaughter stack or two mid mission before hitting a crusher

Just wish it didn’t look like that
