Transonic blades

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

i was so excited to see these in the dev diary , swapping move sets on the fly a weapon with real depth i was thinking it might be a new ogre pick.

But I’m not getting it neither of the transition attacks seem to be worth the effort and the single target move set doesn’t seem to have a purpose. outside of mutants and berserkers any single target comes with some armour and the blades are useless against any of that.

i have only run 2 maps and one was malice so far but am i missing something or are these a bit phoned in. note im not talking balance here just design

Transonic duelist stance gets some decent armour damage going with crits, so get some crit chance from the talent tree and you’ll find that they work pretty well against everything.

Still the best melee of their arsenal. With the cleave blessing and right talents you can just M1 spam into crowds (VT2 Slayer memories) and - almost - everything dies.
