Weapon Notes and Recommendations[]

  • Blessings that increase damage (like Slaughterer) and cleave (like Savage Sweep) make this a horde clearer almost on par with the Munitorum Mk III Power Sword.
    • The Power Sword is more versatile as it can penetrate Carapace armour better when charged. However this cleaver has no delay for charging and much faster attack (especially after a bull rush).
  • Momentum can be useful for constant Toughness regeneration while in crowds.
