Slayer/Builds


 * }

General Playstyle
As a melee frontline career, Slayer should funnel enemies in front of you as much as you can and buy space for your range focus and more squishy teammates. Due to the lack of range weapons (most of the time), you need to try your best to Tag Specials and protect those range careers that can help you deal with them. When there is a Boss on the field, focus on the weaker mobs first then help your team deal with the Boss. Or pull the Boss aggro onto you with so your low health teammates have a better chance surviving.

Dual Axes build:
https://www.ranaldsgift.com/6/111321/10,2,8,6/5,3,1,6/3,1,1/5,4,2/3,2,2

Description:

This build is meant for double one-handed weapons user. Use your first melee choice to kill Horde Mobs. Use your secondary melee choice to kill Elites/Boss.

With these builds, you should prioritize at horde damage. But Slayer can easily pick up one or two Elites mixing inside a bunch of mobs very quickly. Use push/career skill to stagger Horde Mobs first, or use dodge/movement to find an opening, then use your secondary melee weapon to pick up couple Elites.

For Dual Hammer build, spam light attacks on horde units.

For Dual Axes build, you can one shot-bodyshot fanatic with your Chaos Dual Axes light attack when you have full stacks of Trophy Hunter, so spam light attacks on Skaven/Chaos horde. You need to chain heavy attacks or push attacks on Beastman horde, however.

The core talents of this build are Level 20 talent Adrenaline Surge and Level 30 talent Crunch!. Adrenaline Surge can dramatically reduce your career skill cooldown and Crunch! can stagger all Elites’ all attacks except Chaos Warrior overhead. Combine together they provide the strong crowd control ability that one-handed weapons need.

Secondary melee choices:

Two-handed weapon build

Description:

This build is meant for double two-handed weapons user. Use your Two-handed Hammer to kill Horde Mobs. Use your secondary melee choice to kill Elites/Boss.

With this build, you should prioritize at horde damage. But Slayer can easily pick up one or two Elites mixing inside a bunch of mobs very quickly. Use push/career skill or Two-handed Hammer heavy attack to stagger Horde Mobs first, or use dodge/movement to find an opening, then use your secondary melee weapon to pick up couple Elites.

For secondary melee choices, Great Axe can two shot-bodyshot Stormvermin with light overhead attack and three shot other Elites except for Chaos Warrior. War Pick can one shot all Elites in the game with a fully charged heavy attack and only Chaos Warrior need a headshot/crit shot.

The core talents of this build are Level 20 talent Adrenaline Surge and Level 30 talent No Escape. Adrenaline Surge can dramatically reduce your career skill cooldown. Combining with No Escape they provide great mobility that two-handed weapons need.

Description:

This build is meant for mixing of one and two-handed weapons for the great synergy between them.

With these builds, you should prioritize at horde damage. But Slayer can easily pick up one or two Elites mixing inside a bunch of mobs very quickly. Use push/career skill to stagger Horde Mobs first, or use dodge/movement to find an opening, then use your Elites focus weapon to pick up couple Elites.

With Dual Hammers - War Pick build, you should spam Dual Hammers light attack to clean Horde Mobs and use War Pick heavy attack to kill Elites. You can one shot-bodyshot all Elites except Chaos Warrior with fully charged War Pick heavy attack.

With Dual Axes build, you should spam Dual Axes light attack for Skaven/Chaos horde. When there are Elites mixing inside horde or it’s a Beastman horde, you should use two-handed hammer heavy attacks. With Dual Axes light attack you can one shot-bodyshot fanatic when you have full stacks of Trophy Hunter.

The core talents of these builds are Level 20 talent Adrenaline Surge and Level 30 talent. Adrenaline Surge can dramatically reduce your career skill cooldown. Crunch! can stagger all Elites’ all attacks except Chaos Warrior overhead, providing Elites crowd control for Dual Hammers - War Pick build. No Escape provides great mobility for Dual Axes - Two-handed Hammer build.

Throwing Axes build

With this build, you can one-shot Infantry/Armoured Specials on the body and two-shot Packmaster. Standard Bearer, however, needs multiple bodyshot or one headshot. For Elites you can only one shot Stormvermin on the body, the rest of them needs two shots except Chaos Warrior.

Once you have full stacks of Trophy Hunter, you can one-shot all Skaven/Chaos Specials and all Elites on the body except Mauler/Chaos Warrior.

The core talents of these builds are Level 20 talent Adrenaline Surge and Level 30 talent No Escape. Adrenaline Surge can dramatically reduce your career skill cooldown. No Escape provides great mobility and gives you more room to recall your Throwing Axes.
