Greetings, rejects. With the most recent update, the warriors of the Omnissiah have decided to lend their aid to our cause. Parties headed out to the wretched hive of Tertium can now be accompanied by the Skitarii.
Best Skitarii Build for Darktide
Unlike other classes, which have clear intended roles like the Ogryn being a tank, the Skitarii is the purest form of “Jack of all trades”. The Skitarii is equally capable in ranged and melee combat while also being effective against bosses. Like most classes, Skitarii has its own unique resource called Capacitance. This resource is spent to enhance the Skitarii's active abilities. To maximize the unique combat and gameplay this class possesses, this build will focus on a melee-oriented build.
Skitarii Passive Tree
Thanks to the unique layout of the Skitarii passive tree, players are free to take any combination of Blitz, Aura, and Ability. The primary ability this build will be using is the Chordclaw Strike. This ability offers tons of damage and can also be upgraded to deal bleed and AoE damage.
In order to maximize the melee and ranged capabilities of the Skitarii, this build will be using the Artificer Servo Skull. Out of all the other Blitz choices available, this one offers the most versatility with buffs and passive damage.
Finally, for the Aura, the class will be using the Ammunition Deposit to give us a +25 Toughness boost as well as more reserve ammo.
Priority Nodes
- Chordclaw Strike with Satiated Steel and Axial Slash
- Artificer Servo Skull with Noospheric command
- Redline Capacitor Keystone with Surge Extension, Resource Optimization Canticles, and Advanced Power Management
- Ammunition Deposit
- All 4 Ability Modifier Nodes
Skitarii Gear
Most of the damage of this build will come from our Chordclaw Strike, and the equipment used is to help generate Capacitance and maximize the uptime of our abilities.
Weapons
- Combat Blade
- Phosphor Pistol
Curios
Ideally, we would want to bring in 2 curios that provide a decent amount of Toughness, and the final curio should provide extra stamina.
