Assault was my first level 25. I grew into it, was molded by it. I became a pure-blood crayon-eating flying barbarian that will willingly jump into the biggest mosh-pit of *fuck* this side of whatever unfortunate planet has been selected for deployment. I am the undisputed poster boy of violent excess and catastrophic overmatched point-blank throwdown. The untouchable hammer God of parry and pistol. No Xeno will go unsmashed and no face will go unpulverized. The Emperor's hammer rises to strike and by the grace of His Holy on Terra there is no Chaos God hard enough to stop me.
Assault main here. Lost me at the 2:25 mark but luckily the prompts to pay attention got me back to the video from the couch corner, where I was furiously gnawing on a pillow and muttering "for the emperor". Great video. Gotta go clean up, someone threw a damn rock through my window.
I didn’t realize the pain I was giving myself haha it doesn’t say what block does! You just assume it’s gonna be stronger, which it is. But then you get hit nonstop cause you get stun locked and your fucked
This is the first and only time I have seen a space marine parrying a hive tyrant. The others simply dodge both the blue and orange hive tyrant lunges.
Everytime you perfect parry, you get 3 shields off the gun strike that comes after. Likely a bug but a good one. Perfect evade window is also +50% so it also procs gun strike easily for 3 shields off the tyrant. The only class that can go toe to toe in melee combat with melee bosses because of the shield regen
Gonna be honest here, my friends wanted a tactical in their squad, so I took up that role… but you can tell the garbage rodent in me wants jump pack-splattered blood because I’m usually exclusively in melee
Finally got my bolt pistol and hammer in a nice shade of purple, but I wasn't expecting the game's answer to this was manufacturing more spore mines than I've ever seen in any gameplay video. Absolute lone wolf, whether you like it or not because everyone's got shit on their flanks/faces/gun to the back of their head situation. Aside from that, Assault's a challenger and living grenade for a kickoff fight. Reignited a core memory of Space Hulk Deathwing's purple bomber bullet train bonanza of yesteryear though.
I have a friend who tries to play Assault like Bulwark and gets punished for it, but refuses to change his playstyle. Peak glue eater mentality if I’ve ever seen it.
Understandable but just keep in mind parry window on fencing is 4 and a half years whilst dodge window is .5 nano seconds (increased to .75 with the 50% buff!)
That works until you have to fight a swarm on your own, perfect parry knocks back everything wich gives you room to gun strike to recover armor and or clear some of that hord. Block just utterly fucks you over in such situations. You can also get stagger locked into unavoidable combos because of the block animation since it does not knock anything back
@@Drew-im7is definetly harder, but you cant be bamboozled by failed perfect parries and you do dodge ranged attack swhile doing so. Also makes use of sprint attack damage perk. It does ruin muscle memory for balanced/fencing weapons thou
Assault has been and will be my bread and butter for the foreseeable future, thanks in no small part to my SoulsBorne roots, and every immaculately delivered line in this video filled me with validation. You've truly encapsulated what it *means* to play Assault. But what I really appreciated was the time you took to tell other classes how to support Assault, so I'd like to shout-out/brag about my two favorite squadmates; my best friend and my little brother. BFF has dabbled in Bulwark but his heart lies with Heavy, because there's nothing he likes more than spitting a wall of dakka downrange. His skills, reflexes, and instincts are kinda mid at best (for now), but what he does have is the smarts, and he completely understands the concepts of covering and supporting fire for me and he has lived and died by that code in whatever game we jump into. Then there's my little brother who lives and breaths Sniper. This kid is a Fortnite gremlin, and I don't mean in the way of an annoying little squealer getting trolled by older players, I mean he's an absolute fear-hound who's been raised on a steady diet of aforementioned little kids' terror and anguish. I'm serious, take everything I said about BFF and add ninja reflexes, because bro could flick-fire a flea's ass with half a second of reaction time. He picks off enemy ranged units, sets up easy executions for me, and damn it he does not miss. So yeah. Love me Assault, love smashing bugs and heretic brainlets, and damn it I love me bros. Game just isn't the same without them.
I would only say in argument that Bulwark is meant to be the duelling class, holding one big thing's attention generally. That thunder hammer's big swings are so good for mobs, but he can adapt to a duel too. Our heavy has been our savior, tbh.
As a Heavy Bolter wielding Heavy, I'm always happy for the assault and I to stay in our lanes. Keep the melee warriors busy, and I'll deal with the hordes and ranged units
to be fair "Don't get in the way" is kinda true for melee combat with every class except maybe heavy. Ironically, also one of the things that makes the Melta so utterly obnoxious. Just about to parry something? No you aint, its been staggered an you get bonked over the dome by the thing that would have been knocked back by the parry... ¬.¬
Assault. Where playing on a difficulty means you're playing the difficulty above it. A hero meant to "Cowabunga !" but turn to "Help! They took my leg" in just 5 second tops.
Been watching these since I saw the first one for Sniper. Love the content, comedy + actually good info makes for easy viewing. Looking forward to whichever class you do one for next!
The assault class is my favorite. I gave it the Blood Angels armor, my favorite legion. Dropping from the sky while Winged Hussars is blaring is peak. I shall take the advice in this video so that it can be even more fun
Sometimes, I wish friendly fire was on as an assault main. As whoever walks in front of it will become victim to a honey badger. But, watching this also made me wonder. Jebbles. are you okay?
As a Sniper main, I love setting up executions for my Assault. Its a feed back loop. I set up the exe, Assault cleans up with kill, and the swarmers either pop, or are stunned. Cheers for the vid, Jebbles! Hopefully we get more competent Assaults in the fray.
I was under the impression this is how a team is supposed to function . Sniper or heavy or tactical lighting up big guys so melee champs can get in there and finish them off . Melee guys protecting the ranged guys so they can do damage…rinse and repeat.
Love your style of video man, I have just completed the campaign so am just starting the class grind. Assault it is for me, just based of the raccoon description!!!
Absolute top tier wisdom. Everything said is true. Was getting tired of other content creators and commentors saying that Assault wasnt any good. They simply lacked the skill or patience to figure out why Assault is top tier. This guy right here knows his stuff. Could not find a single thing I disagreed with as an Assault player myself
My biggest recommendation is to either hold the course in spite of frustration or get mechanically good at melee with the Bulwark before approaching Assault. Assault doesn't have the same safety nets the bulwark does but is home to a similar gameplay loop so digging your heels in and fighting is going to give you all the experience you need to play a slightly more flighty style. Bulwark is a carpet bombing, Assault is a guided Air-to-Surface Missile.
I'm a Templar bulwark. I play like a berserker. Everything is dead before my brothers catch up. Ruthless difficulty. And I'm proud of it! You can shove your tactics ... somewhere... (Edit: OK, fine, I finished the video and you have some good points...)
The assault is fantastic, so many people just want a win button with games and an actual challenge, plus having to learn a class is too much hard work.
as someone getting into the assault from bulwark its more aggresive and im learning but as long as you dont forget you can still die and play with cautious aggresion id say its really fun to get the hang of
Protip be careful flying upward especially if the bottom of open gates are above you. I found that some of then have a hitbox and will make you explode
Sniper main, but I’ve got a soft spot for assault. Despite its downsides vs. other classes, it really is satisfying just laying waste to a whole group with one swing
Assault is challenging to use. Thanks for the tips! I hope they buff him probably with plasma pistol and farther jetpack distances and heights. I played the Dawn of War games and Assault Space Marines are flying high when dropping on their enemies.
This is a great video with good practical advice for one specific video game, but honestly theres a lot of good life advice snuck in between all thr good assasult marine tips and comedy "Don't ever listen to people who are wrong, and don't matter. Do what works for you, and if you someone who can do what youre trying to offers you advice, listen. Talk to your team mates, and give specific feedback regarding only a handful of very important issues, and theyll listen. Everyone else can fuck off"
Honestly, I’m getting J.K. Simmons (whiplash) vibes from this YT Creator (with less assault charges). They’re harsh yet understanding, wants to help but doesn’t want to baby you through the whole thing. I watched the vanguard video before this and was a complete 180 from what I heard and believed about that class and I’m likely better for it. When I started this assault video I got a similar feeling but gave me a better understanding of what I was getting into when I first tried that class and thus makes me want to try it again with this new knowledge at hand. Long story short, I hope the creator doesn’t find offense to this and I hope that when I give assault a second chance I’ll have the mentality of a student giving his all on stage while the teacher gently guides me through the song and fixes my symbol while I continue to master the craft.(thx for broadening my horizons)
Whiplash is actually one of my favorite movies. Although I attempt to be slightly less of a brutal perfectionist, I know where your sentiment is coming from. I greatly appreciate the comparison. Hopefully none of my students end up having a mental breakdown.
This is what ive been trying to say to my friends who I have been playing with who kept complaining about assault. Saying its bad, and then I play it and end every mission with the most kills, most damage and will end up having more HP the whole mission. They ask how I do that so well and I just tell them "you have to get good" and I mean that. Im not saying that to be a jerk, its just a genuine fact that assault is probably the hardest class to do well with, but if you put in the time and effort to learn, it is by far the most rewarding class.
Very true instructions. Assault class isn’t bad, it’s the thunder hammer and power fist that’s ass weapons. And also the teammates, get the fuck out the way.
Im an assault main and i find myself constantly sniped by ranged enemy, my sniper or vanguard never do their jobs right, they keep stealing my kill and leave me with no way to avoid ranged damage. I would prefer heavy to any other classes, at least he can keep either ranged or melee enemy engaged while i work on the other type. However, being assault that means exactly as you said, A FRAGGING QTE MACHINE!
3:32 But Brother Jebbles, I discovered that If i jump on a horde with contested health active then slam immediately, I can heal my 10% healthbar into full health in a single jump. I have to jump in the middle of the horde brother Jebbles. If I die I'm pretty sure its everybody else's fault, not mine. Its true.
Whats frustrating about assault is that the majority of its perks and weapons tell you "yes dive head first into the horde, thats what youre supposed to do." When the way to be successful with it is to be extremely picky about your engagements and focus on gun strikes. They should really rename the assault to "gun slinger" since you're going to be behaving more like you're in a spaghetti western quick drawing every 4 seconds.
You can hit flying enemies with your ability if you land under them when they're lower to the ground. Use one to get in, use the other if you feel like you have time then gtfo. Rinse and repeat
XD Where did this stereotype of assaulty mains like me being absolute psychopaths come from? We just like making big splashes of enemy bodies and viscera as we dive into a group of enemies like a fat kid cannonballing intop a swimming pool!
Watching your gameplay made me want to play assault now. My main was bulwark but constantly getting swarmed with your ablilites on cooldown kindof sucks. The thunder hammer actually does a larger aoe knockback on a perfect parry so you land more gun strike without getting hit by another major thus more damage and getting swarmed less.
The point about snipers also applies to any other ranged class. Can't tell how many times i was in the thick of it, drawing aggro so my ranged guys can shoot shit and what do they do ? Shoot execution targets right under my nose causing me to die to ranged units cause they aren't doing their job
Chaos in gerneral is harder since killing a majoris chaos wont kill the minoris around like it does with tyranids. Also chaos trash with shied is needlessly tanky
9:17 I understand where your advice was coming from but it just doesn't work that way, tell people to leave the executes and to not push the majoris away from the assaults instead. It's generally not very good advice, this is a space marine game, your teammates are your brothers, do not leave them to die. Do not expect one person in the whole team to take all the majoris, you are setting yourself up to failure with that one. Help anyone who gets their ass kicked without getting in the way (don't push enemies needlessly away and let the assault get the execute). Also if you get distracted by teammates in your general field of vision that's your own fault, pay more attention and don't get distracted. if someone was completely in the way for a split second, tough luck, this shit happens to all players, not just the assault. It's a coop game people so people like to stick together, you'll see your teammates fighting in the chaos one way or another. The codex astartes approves all other points made in the video.
Most of what you say here is fair! However, I will not excuse people walking in front of my LoS let alone dragging enemies to me while I'm already busy, or getting one too many snipers pointed at me that I already can't handle. What is very true, *never* abandon your brothers because even if you don't want to admit it. It is a team played game and in the end you will need to rely on each other to get by. That doesn't mean every choice has to be correct. Although, I do wish I found more people who didnt steal my executions 😔 Life do be tough with 0 armor.
Love the class in my opinion this need a rework you could do what the assault does with three other classes with a melta and the heavy does it better than the other two
Dude the one thing I can’t stand is how they cut the balls off the movement for Assault in COOP. Third of the height when jumping. What the hell were they thinking?
As a heavy main I always focus on taking out ranged enemies and clearing chaffe for any close combat oriented teammates, but when I get swarmed, ya'll better come bail my ass out as thanks. A heavy bolter is not a fencing weapon.
Also figure out how to work the assault before getting into fights bc for some reason the devs decided to make his ability work different in operations and as a mainly pvp player that shit fucked me up a little bit
@@JebblesJunior I still haven't used assault that much in PvE to see if this is true but I still love the assault, don't know why it gets so much hate.
my favorite part of assault is getting sniped by a tyranid out of the sky, breaking all of my armor and dropping half my health with a single shot
As a fishman employed by state farm once said
"You gotta be quicker than that"
The devs have a lot of work to do on melee combat in order to make it feel good playing.
it wouldn't be as bad an issue if one mistake wasn't so punishing and completely unrecoverable with how contested health currently functions
@@mickthick6170I agree!!
@@mickthick6170 yep, the payoff for committing to a melee action (cause you can't parry if you commit) just isn't worth it

Understandable but just keep in mind parry window on fencing is 4 and a half years whilst dodge window is .5 nano seconds (increased to .75 with the 50% buff!)
Heresy spotted.

Assault has been and will be my bread and butter for the foreseeable future, thanks in no small part to my SoulsBorne roots, and every immaculately delivered line in this video filled me with validation. You've truly encapsulated what it *means* to play Assault. But what I really appreciated was the time you took to tell other classes how to support Assault, so I'd like to shout-out/brag about my two favorite squadmates; my best friend and my little brother.
BFF has dabbled in Bulwark but his heart lies with Heavy, because there's nothing he likes more than spitting a wall of dakka downrange. His skills, reflexes, and instincts are kinda mid at best (for now), but what he does have is the smarts, and he completely understands the concepts of covering and supporting fire for me and he has lived and died by that code in whatever game we jump into.
Then there's my little brother who lives and breaths Sniper. This kid is a Fortnite gremlin, and I don't mean in the way of an annoying little squealer getting trolled by older players, I mean he's an absolute fear-hound who's been raised on a steady diet of aforementioned little kids' terror and anguish. I'm serious, take everything I said about BFF and add ninja reflexes, because bro could flick-fire a flea's ass with half a second of reaction time. He picks off enemy ranged units, sets up easy executions for me, and damn it he does not miss.
So yeah. Love me Assault, love smashing bugs and heretic brainlets, and damn it I love me bros. Game just isn't the same without them.
Very compelling points, however you can't expect me to see a giant gorilla fist option and not go full speed swinging at everything that moves
It is a very tasteful choice.

Bulwark has been given weird perks and is getting a mix of two videos like a kid with divorced parents.
Sucks to have all that cool shit and you have to use your pistol the whole time for the boss fight
At the time it was three AM, and I had to get the footage even if it was by playing safe.
Otherwise, I would've gone yard. It's way better that way.
Great video man. I really like your humor. This class definitely needed a good guide. I’ll be giving your advice a shot.

When the way to be successful with it is to be extremely picky about your engagements and focus on gun strikes. They should really rename the assault to "gun slinger" since you're going to be behaving more like you're in a spaghetti western quick drawing every 4 seconds.
It might as well be named Peter Quill with how much flying and shooting there is. That being said there's merit in the counter punchiness.
people think it is about right click. It is actually about space bar, left click
Keanu what the hell are you talking about about
You can hit flying enemies with your ability if you land under them when they're lower to the ground. Use one to get in, use the other if you feel like you have time then gtfo. Rinse and repeat
1:38 as a teacher I can confirm
based flesh tearer drip
XD Where did this stereotype of assaulty mains like me being absolute psychopaths come from? We just like making big splashes of enemy bodies and viscera as we dive into a group of enemies like a fat kid cannonballing intop a swimming pool!
Watching your gameplay made me want to play assault now. My main was bulwark but constantly getting swarmed with your ablilites on cooldown kindof sucks. The thunder hammer actually does a larger aoe knockback on a perfect parry so you land more gun strike without getting hit by another major thus more damage and getting swarmed less.
Great video!
The point about snipers also applies to any other ranged class. Can't tell how many times i was in the thick of it, drawing aggro so my ranged guys can shoot shit and what do they do ? Shoot execution targets right under my nose causing me to die to ranged units cause they aren't doing their job
I won't join in on someone cussing out a sniper. However, I will nod along silently.
I'm not saying I'm lost to the black rage brother but...that tyranid looks alot like horus.
21k damage and 500 kills, what the fuck is ranged combat RAHHHH
God that set up looks glorious, blood angel?
Flesh tearer, so yeah, kinda.
@@JebblesJunior sick
Mate funny as 😂 subbed
Playing assault as a low level? Stick to tyranid maps, chaos forces will fck you up big time.
Chaos in gerneral is harder since killing a majoris chaos wont kill the minoris around like it does with tyranids. Also chaos trash with shied is needlessly tanky
9:17 I understand where your advice was coming from but it just doesn't work that way, tell people to leave the executes and to not push the majoris away from the assaults instead.
It's generally not very good advice, this is a space marine game, your teammates are your brothers, do not leave them to die.
Do not expect one person in the whole team to take all the majoris, you are setting yourself up to failure with that one.
Help anyone who gets their ass kicked without getting in the way (don't push enemies needlessly away and let the assault get the execute). Also if you get distracted by teammates in your general field of vision that's your own fault, pay more attention and don't get distracted. if someone was completely in the way for a split second, tough luck, this shit happens to all players, not just the assault.
It's a coop game people so people like to stick together, you'll see your teammates fighting in the chaos one way or another.
The codex astartes approves all other points made in the video.
Most of what you say here is fair! However, I will not excuse people walking in front of my LoS let alone dragging enemies to me while I'm already busy, or getting one too many snipers pointed at me that I already can't handle.
What is very true, *never* abandon your brothers because even if you don't want to admit it. It is a team played game and in the end you will need to rely on each other to get by. That doesn't mean every choice has to be correct.
Although, I do wish I found more people who didnt steal my executions 😔
Life do be tough with 0 armor.
my assault is level 25. the next highest is sniper at 9.
Love the class in my opinion this need a rework you could do what the assault does with three other classes with a melta and the heavy does it better than the other two
Dude the one thing I can’t stand is how they cut the balls off the movement for Assault in COOP.
Third of the height when jumping. What the hell were they thinking?
It's meant to be a far more aggressively played class. That being said, I want to see a faster recharge time.
😂😂😂 listen the 97 year old woman comment was unnecessary, we know we fucked up😂. Love the video
Much alike the enemies, I had to hammer the point home.
I play assault in pvp, most games I drop 15+ but other games I just get hard targeted by heavy and mostly sniper.
I strayed away from pvp for the time being because ping advantage was feeling pretty bad.
@@JebblesJunior they definitely need to do some server work. I see them testing patches on steam so I know Saber is on top of it!
As a heavy main I always focus on taking out ranged enemies and clearing chaffe for any close combat oriented teammates, but when I get swarmed, ya'll better come bail my ass out as thanks. A heavy bolter is not a fencing weapon.
We appreciate your honorable service.
Also figure out how to work the assault before getting into fights bc for some reason the devs decided to make his ability work different in operations and as a mainly pvp player that shit fucked me up a little bit
It benefited the PVP maps to put in more verticality and the PVE to have more horizontal movement.
@@JebblesJunior I still haven't used assault that much in PvE to see if this is true but I still love the assault, don't know why it gets so much hate.
