The way you fight the tyrant is the perfect example of what the super marines are fighting. without relent and strong. It super cool to discover that you can play this aggressive.
As much as I love the chain sword I prefer to use the power sword for bulwark because it looks great and in my opinion it is nice to have more than one style of fighting.
I think I generally prefer the Chainsword, but luckily it's accessible on 3 of the 6 classes, so I mostly use Power Sword on Bulwark now. I can always get my chainsword fix on my Vanguard, Tactical, or Assault (lol jk on that one, it's Hammer Time)
As time as gone on I've used the power stance less and less in favor of staying in speed stance but using the power whirl combo when there's lots of minoris around. My damage has actually gone up this way; I'm getting to 20k melee damage way more often now which used to be something I only did with Assault. I still break out the power stance when there's large amounts of pure minoris though.
Another masterclass to watch! You still prefer the chainsword overall correct? I find I never miss a parry with chainsword but occasionally power sword I seem to do so
Are you using the Fencing variant? I will literally only play with fencing on any class, I burn all my Armoury Data up mastering the crappy weapons in the same tree just for the skill points lol
@@christopherjohnson2171 vanguard is the only class I could literally ever see using Balance for more damage and cleave since your parry window is increased by 50%, which is an insane buff. Other than that, you're literally just gimping yourself. If youre a non-melee based class and you find yourself surrounded and in need of melee attacks, you WILL need to parry. As a Bulwark, most of your AoE damage comes from parrying and half your perks are centered around it, missing Parry's makes your class pointless lol. Can't defend your Battle Brothers if youre lying on the ground
@@christopherjohnson2171 all that being said, and even with everything the game does weird or bad or bad design choices-- I still friggin love this game. Haven't touched another game in the last month since I've picked it up
How do you avoid damage when many tyranids shoot at u? Also how do u deal with zoanthropes plasma pistol seems to do no damage to them even after the fix
I crash on Xbox semi regularly, but before the last patch it used to be VERY frequent. Like, every Operation completion was a 50/50 if I would make it to the Victory screen
Its a shame because power sword just feels worse to use than chainsword,it feels way more clunky with the whole switching stances and having to pause to prep power whirl.Also not being able to clear barbed strangler pods easily is a dealbreaker for me. I want to use Power Sword on Bulwark because it feels almost wrong to run Dark Angels Bulwark and not run a power sword but it just doesnt feel as good
I don't agree. I've beat lethal with all classes and think power sword is excellent. Switching stances is easy. You can do it during a dash or sprint if you hold it seamlessly, and even then its really not essential, you can get away with only using power mode too if you want. Power whirl is decent, but most of the time I'd rather just heavy swing normal attacks around. It opens up gun strikes and leaves you less open for attacks vs the power whirl delay. Ill whirl if I can set it up before the horde gets on me. Its light attacks are better for bosses too vs chainsword. Faster and less committal. You can also go into power rake from any light starter even off power mode.
Power sword not being able to clear vines easily and it's mediocre contested health regen are the worst things about it tbh. Chainsword is still the better of the two, but power sword is pretty dang good and it's also fun.
@@thepunisherxxx6804 if only power wirl would hit the ground to clear nies and allow you to change stances while in the middle of the animation it would make the weapon SO good
@@FirstTourGuardsman you dont use whirl strike with power sword of course its AoE will be lacking I kill 5-10 minoris if time it correctly, it needs good understanding For chain stomp goes only after 3 strikes which is sucks cuz it often denied by majoris or other threats This sword hardest weapon but most rewarding
Because whirl stance is not very good with the build setup I have here since we're on the top row for the power sword tree and miss out on the +20% damage to minoris.

Indeed brother.
He made a run with the sword of power! Tell us your wisdom, what you have to say about the ways of the blade?
Batting away a 25 foot tall creature's full body attack with your Power Sword is so damn satisfying
That hive tyrant fight was so well done and FAST
Cleeeeaaaan Hive Tyrant kill. Well done bro

It's a good weapon and has fun mechanics so there's no real reason not to especially if you're playing with 3 mans.
Love the power sword, Its a shame its locked on bulwark

@@IloveGorgeousGeorge I did the same thing, I just instantly maxed the blocking/balanced weapons with armory data so I never had to use them.

Tbat was crazy brother.
He fought the tyrant so effortlessly, i barely get to get close to that thinf
Just tried this build, it’s built different
In a good way? I love the Power Sword, but I just feel like I have better crowd control and interrupts with the Chainsword
That dodge on 34:54 was magnificent

Amazing that you dont crash at all!!! Am i the only one who crashes constantly even though i have a decked out brand new pc ??

How are you animation canceling so much and can you do it with other classes as well?
Does lethal feel like they adjusted the mobs a little to anyone else? Still not at 4.0 levels but it feels a little more challenging now.
Yes. My last run I had 37k dmg with my solo bulwark. I only had 28.so I think it's more the spawns and not the difficulty if that's what you meant
In termination. I the run a week ago. 37k dmg yesterday 28k
@@Glorybast84 Yeah spawns seem to be a bit more. It’s a good thing
Hey guys how to get the last mastery points to finish my power sword build .
How do you change stance mid dodge without doing a move?
you can hold the stance switch while dodging to swap
Its a shame because power sword just feels worse to use than chainsword,it feels way more clunky with the whole switching stances and having to pause to prep power whirl.Also not being able to clear barbed strangler pods easily is a dealbreaker for me.

Does the power sword still feel like whacking a space abomination with a plank of wood?
Needs a buff IMO. Chain sword is in a great place, not the same for the power sword
ANIMATION CANCEL TUTORIAL ASAP PLS
Press parry, done.
I don't get it. This guy's always in light stance. Doesn't he know he can switch stances in between moves or something?
Because whirl stance is not very good with the build setup I have here since we're on the top row for the power sword tree and miss out on the +20% damage to minoris.
