      Hey dom, I appreciate your videos a lot! Please do not take this the wrong way but you made some mistakes in the video.
      The misinformation is specifically about. I typed out a big wall of text on parrying replying to someone here. And i just want to say you might want to issue a correction. The mistake you made is that you CAN and SHOULD parry all normal attacks, NOT just play passively waiting for the prompts. you can EVEN parry the Carnifexes sweep and several of the Hive Tyrants attacks too. Though that is not at all neccessary to succeed in the missions even on ruthless. But it can be done. That was... well i cringed a bit at that bit of advice you gave. I know its been a week since you released this video and might have learned more about the game, but people are still watching it, so maybe make some type of correction about what you said about parrying?
      If you want to survive ruthless you are being dead weight if you just wait around and don't attack the enemy. You need to take every opportunity to damage your enemies on ruthless. But you need to be careful and stop your attack after a few strikes. because the enemy WILL counterattack! How long your combo can be depends on the speed of your weapon. With a slower weapon you will only likely get in 1 or 2 strikes before you have to stop and prepare to parry (again, don't wait for the blue prompts, parry the regular attacks as well), but if you run the 11dmg 7 speed relic tier power sword on Bulwark like i do, you can pretty much kill a majoris without having to stop to parry, as long as you mix in a heavy attack to stagger them often enough. One thing to know about the parrying in this game is that unlike in many other games, you cannot cancel your melee attack into a parry, so if you overcommit then you are screwed when that counter attack comes. The slower your weapon, the longer your recovery time, the more careful and considerate you need to be with when you can attack. However once you play the game (or a certain weapon) enough,it really doesn't take long once these things click. Like how many times can i attack a tyranid warrior with a weapon with a speed of 4 before i have to stop so that i can parry their counter attack. Also inversely, if you have a high speed weapon you can attack many more times, and you recover faster so even if you slightly over commit you might still be able to get off a parry, if not a perfect parry.
      I've been maining Bulwark since release and he has many perks that rely on perfect parries and that is the reason I have studied this mechanic intensively. And ill mention it here as i did in the other post; some people have said that they have trouble parrying with the bulwark. But it it no different from any other class. The mistake that is very easy to make is that you press the parry button slightly too long and you end up raising your shield instead of your weapon for a parry. You do not need to hold the parry button for the entire duration of the windup and animation. Also the parry timing is slightly different than in other games with parrying mechanics. You need to press the parry button early, because your character does a slight windup, and then a kind of sweep in the air. The sweep is the duration where if an attack connects (your blades quite literally clash) you successfully get a perfect parry. So instead of clicking parry as the attack is about to land, you instead click the parry as soon as the enemy raises their arm for an attack.
      Thanks you for the work you do for all these guides but the section about parrying in this one was kinda just wrong so i HAD to correct you. There are sooo so many people out there playing not knowing how to parry at all, and your video didn't really help that all... with the exception that i did notice you parry some of the lictors normal attacks in the gameplay video. So you must know all this by now? then PLEASE add a pinned comment or something where this is explained.
      I do like your work though and I hope you do are not insulted, I mean no harm. I simply with so spread knowledge to help my battle brothers get to and survive ruthless difficulty! Once all this parrying stuff clicks, the game becomes infinitely easier
      Thank you ✌

    TIP: Zoanthropes can be killed with a single Krak grenade. In the two toughest difficulties, I like to hold onto a couple Krak grenades to insta-gib double Zoanthropes when they show up. The grenade has an auto-aim nature so just aim in the general direction of the target when its shield is down and enjoy the fireworks.

      @@clopes87 melta gun
      edit: just realized im replying on the wrong topic, thought ur asking bout the core defense mission lol
      well really on the campaign with the hellbrute, i just melta the swarm too kek, on operation when hellbrute spawns, i focus on melta'ing the swarm first too, i play tactical and vanguard, both have melta gun
      just hipfire it, and just focus on clearing the swarm, parry the warriors when u can, remmeber to turn to face them to parry, and never lockon cuz u wont be ready to melta the swarm
      u can also reload while getting more ammo from the ammo box, theres a melta gun from the gun pod in the center
      the only fail condition of that map is the gaunts, so just focus on wiping them out, they have limited numbers, try to aim so the warriors also get hit by the melta, melta has 100% pierce, the range warriors, just try to dodge them or use cover, u can always dodge after shooting with melta and since u dont have to aim it, u are faster to react
      i seriously only managed to solo angel of death cuz of melta gun and krak grenades, i alternate between powersword and chainsword but i end up liking chainsword more but i dont think those mattered on my clear, just learning the parry timing is enough
      on the zoanthrope wave, ignore the sniper warrior, hes easy to dodge and itll take too much time to kill him, there are explosive barrel near him if u really want to down him first, but just focus on clearing the swarm while waiting for the zoan to come close to the platform, then go under it, krak it, then execute, that should clear most of the swarm, if u miss the krak, just reload, the zoan will take too long to kill with normal guns, i got like 30% core hp left by the 2nd wave and just the time it took to execute the zoan put my core down to 14%, so i really only had one shot

    Nice guide. A few notes:
    Don't have to dodge "frequently" to avid the bean cannon. It will train it's sights on you for up to 6 seconds. at anytime during this, as soon as you dodge they will shoot. So you can basically dodge at anytime during that 6 second period to have them shoot & miss.
    Not sure if this the case on PC, but on console the zoanthropes are bugged, Often times both are armored (even without the green bubble) making it impossible to kill them. Also, they almost never spawn singularly. I've only seen this happen twice & both times as soon as the 1 was killed the other appeared right after.
    The helldrake is also bugged (on console). 50% of the time the pillars will not block the fire attack. the other 50% of time you will either be safe from the blast (as it's supposed to be) or you are being peppered by ranged minions that often push you out of cover and get you hit by the flame. just fyi.

    regarding Hellbrute Lore
    while Loyal Dreadnaughts are indeed heroes of their respective chapters , Chaos Dreadnaught do not have such glorious implications they come to be when a Chaos Marine fucks up so tremendously that their Legion decides to punish them wit ''eternal servitude in suffering'' .. a hellbrute is when such a Chaos Dreadnought becomes Possesed by a Deamon Mutating that thing into a Monstrosity of Hatred Flesh and Machine ...given with the Thousand sons that all their ''normal'' marines are basically only Souls and Dust locked in Hexed Armor so that no mutation can occur a Hellbrute of the Thousand Sons is most likely a Chaos Warlock that fucked up as only the Psionicly gifted among the Sons still have their Bodies

    They need to really tone down how much damage ranged enemies do because this game has no "cover" system and if you have 3 or 4 major enemies (big tyrannids with the burst gun / chaos marines) you will get absolutely shredded in 2 seconds on any difficulty and heavy is the only one who stands a chance bc of iron halo (literally only buys you seconds, and only from enemies in one direction.)
    I'd argue even the little ranged enemies do too much but at least with them they take armor slow enough that you might be able to replenish it fast enough to keep up. But like fighting a group of enemies and getting shot in the back twice and losing 60% of your health 30 seconds into a run fucking sucks.

      I can deal with the ranged damage, what I cannot deal with is the absolute bullet sponginess of the enemies on the higher difficulties. All bolt weapons become useless, melee becomes near-useless, and it's only melta spam and las fusil that can bring enemies down in useful time, but then the bullet sponginess takes its toll by any medium sized encounter wiping out all ammo you had.

    Tip for assault class with tyranid warriors from a guy who loves to categorize stuff immediately in his brain. number one: use the thunder hammer yes I know there’s other melee weapons but this one is sick as fuck (also good damage and horde clearing) number two: your fastest bet on killing warriors is a dash attack strike regularly then parry(or dodge! Cause it’s not always a parry!) take your free shot and follow up with a charged heavy usually kills tyrannid warriors in one fell swoop! number three: no matter how fucking fast you shoot a krak grenade will always kill a zoanthrope quicker than your light bolter brother. Number four: the codex may approve of strategy number three but if you are wise DO NOT USE A KRAK GRENADE ON A SCARAB TERMINATOR WITH THE SWORDS. Thank you for taking a second to listen to the scriptures brothers, may the Emporer guide your blades and bullets to their targets brothers!! :D

    Great vid. Few things that work for me:
    - Both the carnivex and Hivemind have attacks that can be parried, even without the blue indicator (goes for a lot of enemies). Usually this occurs after the charge and can give you a pistol shot which briefly stuns.
    - Flamer: when playing melee get close-up, it will do a unblockable close range charge attack. Try walking out before rolling. If dodge instantly the timing is off for a perfect dodge.
    -Hellbrute: like mentioned with the carnivex; it can be parried even without blue indicator.

    Terms/Horms - while against them (and any enemy) it's good to use gun strikes liberally, unlike parries and executes you don't have i-frames while doing them. As such, even if you need armor you can't just auto-gun strike whenever the opportunity arises, otherwise you'll end up taking more damage than you'd gain. Basically, with gun strikes you do them whenever you can, but not automatically (to be fair, the same can be said for executes; while you very often want to do them the armor-recovery is a resource, so in good squad play you'd definitely let someone else exe if they need the armor).
    Warriors - ditto to above. If you gun strike at every opportunity on a tyranid warrior, there'll be times where you're losing more armor/health than you gain because ou did it while surrounded, didn't even get the gun strike off because you were interrupted, and just end up in a worse spot. All about picking your spots (it's often good to dodge away from the pack before gun striking for that reason). Specifically for the Venom Cannon variety, unless I'm mistaken if you dodge whenever their training their cannon on you (the yellow beam), they'll instantly fire it - and miss. So it's all a matter of making sure you do it early or just before it fires, rather than trying to squeeze too much time out of it and then getting hit (I mean, time they spent aiming and not firing is time they're not doing anything else, but then they don't do anything else dangerous so why not just dodge early and ensure you're not getting hit).
    Zoanthropes - going to add this in here, but someone in the comments mentioned using a Krak on them, and it seems like a good tip. If you're playing with bot teammates, they suck at dealing damage in general but especially against pairs of Zoans, because they don't know how to swap to the non-shielded one. So any tip like Kraks that can help a solo player deal with them is welcome!
    Cultists - apparently any class can kill them by walking into them. Haven't tested this myself yet, but seems like rolling through waves of them would be an effective way to save ammo.
    Tzaangors - oh good, it's not just me. Chaos as a whole are easier than the tyranids, but my god are the Tzaangors so much more annoying than the Terms and Horms.

      Tyranids are definitely the easier faction. Shield Zangors are annoying for sure, but Chaos Marines are so god damn irritating, as are Sorcerors and Terminators. I've been doing a lot of Vox Liberatus (op 3) on ruthless as it's one I can do straight up if I get another player or two (or I have a decent run), or one I can speedrun if I have bots - but Chaos definitely does make it more annoying than if it were pure Nids. You're just never safe behind cover because of the Chaos Marine teleports, and they're absolute bullet sponges.

Its not limited to the Bladeguard (Bulwark).
