Space Hulk Deathwnding Enhanced Edition – Klassenvergabung und Leitfaden

Here’s a simplified breakdown of the perks available to each of the six different classes in the Multiplayer/Special Mission mode in Space Hulk Deathwing: Erweiterte Ausgabe. The wiki pages for these classes often lack completeness, and many guides and videos overlook less desirable perks. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview along with additional insights, Kommentare, and ideas to enhance your understanding and gameplay experience.

Allgemein

The player who provided the comments for each individual perk overview only has limited playtime, so their insights may not be based on thorough testing and experimentation but rather on superficial impressions and comments from other players. Most of their playtime has been on the second highest difficulty in Special Missions with Brothers Barachiel and Nahum.

Here are some key points about the perks:

• Only one perk can be chosen per class at any given time.
• Numbers are provided as in the game, aber in einigen Fällen, it’s unclear whether absolute numbers or percentages are being used.
• Resilient and Machine Spirit are available to all classes.
• Ruthless is shared between Assault Specialty and Interrogator-Chaplain.
• Burning Absolution is shared between Tactical Specialty and Interrogator-Chaplain.
• Executioner is shared between Heavy Weapons Specialty, Assault Specialty, and Interrogator-Chaplain.
• Slayer of Beasts is shared between Assault Specialty, Tactical Specialty, and Interrogator-Chaplain.

These points should help you navigate the perks and make informed decisions based on your playstyle and objectives in the game.

Bibliothekar

• Adamantium Will: Psychic damage taken reduced by 33 %
• Warp Disruptions: Randomly alters Psy power damage by -33 % to up to + 50 %
• Sword Specialist: 25 % increased attack rate with Force Sword
• Axe Specialist: 25 % increased attack rate with Force Axe
• Battle Psyker: 30 % increased damage with Force Weapons
• Präkognition: Armor perforation with Bolters increased by 10
• Robust: Increases HP for each body part by 30 %
• Machine Spirit: 30 % increased Hacking speed

Adamantium Will might become more appealing if it offered additional benefits beyond just a 33% reduction in psychic damage. Jedoch, Immunity could significantly enhance its attractiveness.

Warp Disruptions stands out as the most intriguing perk for the Librarian, potentially complementing various character builds effectively.

The Librarian’s force weaponry perks, while not particularly impressive, still offer valuable customization options. Consolidating the damage bonus into the Specialist perks and adjusting the values could streamline the system and add more variety.

Precognition shares a similar predicament, being the least potent of the three Bolter perks available. Dennoch, for a class primarily reliant on force weapons, any Bolter perk becomes significant.

Robust, a perk common to all classes, appears to dominate gameplay, especially in challenging modes like No Mercy. Its prominence underscores the importance of survivability in such high-stakes scenarios.

Machine Spirit, although accessible to every class, likely sees minimal usage due to its limited practicality.

Heavy Weapons Specialty

• Assault Cannon Specialist: Increases armor perforation of Assault Cannon and Vengeance by 10
• War Machine: Increases reload speed x2
• Crushing Arm: Increases attack rate with Power Fist by 30 %
• Mine Specialist: Increases area of effect and damage of Mines by 50 %
• Henker: Increases critical rate by 10 % (Shared with Assault and Chaplain)
• Robust: Increases HP for each body part by 30 %
• Machine Spirit: 30 % increased Hacking speed

Noch einmal, there are several ways to tailor a character to suit individual preferences, even if they don’t all stand out as equally competitive. Jedoch, War Machine proves its utility, particularly when paired with slower weapons like the Plasma Cannon.

While the armor perforation bonus from Assault Cannon Specialist may not be essential for Vengeance builds, it still offers value, especially when wielding the Assault Cannon. Ähnlich, the increased critical hit rate from Executioner aligns well with weapons like the Assault Cannon, Rache, and Spear of Caliban, which boast high rates of fire.

Comparatively, Crushing Arm appears weaker, but given the cumbersome nature of the Heavy’s arsenal, War Machine might not always suffice to prevent close-quarters combat.

Mine Specialist lives up to its name, providing utility in defensive strategies, especially when paired with reduced ability cooldowns for effective rearguard actions.

Assault Specialty

• Lightning Claw Specialist: Increases armor perforation by 10 und Angriffsgeschwindigkeit um 40 %
• Wielder of Maces: Increases armor perforation by 30 und Angriffsgeschwindigkeit um 20 %
• Eiferer: Prevents enemies (except giant Genestealers) from parrying you
• Löwe’s Bravery: Reduces taken range damage by 20 %
• Slayer of Beasts: Increases damage inflicted on giant Genestealers by 15 % (Shared with Tactical and Chaplain)
• Henker: Increases critical rate by 10 % (Shared with Heavy and Chaplain)
• Rücksichtslos: Allows you to sprint three times longer (Shared with Chaplain)
• Robust: Increases HP for each body part by 30 %
• Machine Spirit: 30 % increased Hacking speed

 

The Assault Specialty offers perks tailored for Lightning Claws and the Mace of Absolution, with no specific perks for the Purgatory Sword or Thunder Hammer, although they are formidable without additional perks.

Zealot could potentially benefit certain builds, but without thorough testing, its effectiveness remains speculative. Feedback from players in the comments section could shed more light on its utility.

Lion’s Bravery’s ranged damage reduction seems challenging to integrate, particularly if not using a Storm Shield, as it conflicts with the Lightning Claw perk. Its practicality might be questioned, possibly making it more suitable for a different class.

Slayer of Beasts could enhance Hammer-focused builds, though it might be excessive when paired with the Sword.

Executioner encounters a similar issue as Lion’s Bravery, competing with the Claw perk and potentially not synergizing well with the class.

Ruthless’s sprinting boost could appeal to unconventional Terminators more inclined toward looting than purging xenos.

Apotheker

• Blessed Blood: Slowly regenerates HP
• Aura of Devotion: Increases Mass Heal’s range by 30 %
• Chirurgeon: Increases damage in enemies arms and legs
• Mantle of the Redeemer: Increases perforation of Redemption by 20
• Chirurgische Präzision: Increases perforation of Storm Bolters by 20
• Robust: Increases HP for each body part by 30 %
• Machine Spirit: 30 % increased Hacking speed

 

Blessed Blood appears somewhat redundant since Auto Heal already fulfills its function more effectively. While not entirely useless, its uniqueness might be better suited for another class.

Aura of Devotion could find situational utility, although ideally, situations warranting its use should be avoided altogether. While increased area coverage may prove beneficial in certain scenarios, it may not consistently justify its slot.

Chirurgeon’s ability to cripple arms and legs could prove valuable, particularly in sustained Bolter combat scenarios or with less accurate Redemptions.

Mantle of the Redeemer stands as the sole Redemption perk available, with little competition aside from Resilient on the Apothecary.

Surgical Precision falls short of the Tactical’s Strategist perk but outperforms the Librarian’s Precognition. Jedoch, the Apothecary faces tough competition from Redemption and Hellfire, unlike the Librarian, who often wields a Bolter.

Tactical Specialty

• Eternal Warrior: You cannot suffer critical hits anymore
• Stratege: Increases armor perforation for Storm Bolters by 20 and Power Fists’s attack rate by 30 %
• Skull-Bolter Missiles: The Skull Bolter fires one missile every two seconds
• Slayer of Beasts: Increases damage inflicted on giant Genestealers by 15 % (Shared with Assault and Chaplain)
• Burning Absolution: Increases the Spear of Caliban’s armor perforation by 30 % (Shared with the Chaplain)
• Robust: Increases HP for each body part by 30 %
• Machine Spirit: 30 % increased Hacking speed

 

Eternal Warrior could prove valuable on the highest difficulty level but directly competes with Resilient for attention.

Strategist emerges as the premier Bolter perk, boasting improved melee capabilities. Given the strong competition from options like the Spear and Flamer, this choice makes sense.

Skull-Bolter Missiles offers support akin to Mine Specialist, catering to Terminators who enjoy such tactics.

Slayer of Beasts introduces an intriguing and somewhat competitive addition, particularly effective with the Spear. Jedoch, Burning Absolution presents an alternative, offering increased armor perforation for the same weapon.

Interrogator-Chaplain

• Rächer: Extends the effects of Retribution by three seconds
• Führer: Extends the effects of Litany of War by five seconds
• Erlöser: Increases the Crozius‘ attack rate and armor perforation by 30 %
• Burning Absolution: Increases the Spear of Caliban’s armor perforation by 30 % (Shared with Tactical)
• Henker: Increases critical rate by 10 % (Shared with Heavy and Assault)
• Slayer of Beasts: Increases damage inflicted on giant Genestealers by 15 % (Shared with Assault and Tactical)
• Rücksichtslos: Allows you to sprint three times longer (Shared with Assault)
• Robust: Increases HP for each body part by 30 %
• Machine Spirit: 30 % increased Hacking speed

 

Avenger and Leader offer extensions to already potent abilities, providing valuable support in challenging scenarios.

Redeemer serves as beneficial support for a Chaplain more inclined toward melee combat, offering a versatile option.

The remaining perks are familiar from other classes, with Slayer of Beasts and Burning Absolution posing similar dilemmas as for the Tactical. Executioner seems like a better fit for the Chaplain than for the Assault but may not reach the same effectiveness as for the Heavy.

Gesamt, the Chaplain could benefit from more distinctive features to set it apart. While the Crozius is a step in the right direction, further adjustments to the arsenal could enhance uniqueness, as it currently mirrors the Tactical Specialty.
