So I wrote this on the steam discussions to help out an OP with what some of my tricks are. I generally perform well as a plain ol slugga and while not perfect I hope this can help some of da boyz survive ta git bigga an arder for da WAAAGH! Loadout = Slugga Boy Electrified Choppa Dakka Slugga Leather Armor Iron Gob of Toughness Armor Regen - 15% Armor +2 Armor +3 Armor Regen Delay - 3% Armor Regen Delay - 5% Medi-Pack Stikk Bomb General rule, be cunnin but brutal like a proper Blood Axe Boy: 1. If the enemy is at a distance and possibly looking in your direction take cover. Then wait em out or find another route to flank them. There is almost always another route to flank dat dakka git an dey ardly move thinkin ya just hidin.2. When you find your target to krump, if you are behind them lockon (Hold ctrl) then charge a power attack, finish them with quick attacks. Dont waste the opportunity with a measly quick attack.3. Only use your slugga when they are running from you or if they are wounded. All other time not in melee range should be to get in melee range. If you cant get in melee range take cover. Never get into a shootout.4. If you see the enemy charging a kick or counter, roll out of the way or side step and charge a power attack as soon as you see their counter. If you cant react fast enough then a quick attack will work but the fight will take longer5. If in melee against a group, always position your melee enemy between you and their friendlies, they may kill them for you. If you swing more than 2 times in group melee you will likely die so swing and roll, try not to lock too much and use free swing to tie up enemies in ranged while always positioning yourself to use them as shields against their buddies. If you master this, people will scream hacker at you for sure lol.6. Never execute, unless you want to risk dying or reallllllly want to execute that person. I usually risk it when someone tries to kite me forever or has been killing me at a distance with Autocannons, Heavy Bolters, etc. a few times and I finally get to them lol.7. Use Grenades more as distractions not as a killing tool, they rarely will get the job done. So toss it behind the enemy and then when they move out of cover or forward concerned about the grenade rush them if you can make the distance in less than 3 seconds. If not use it as an opportunity to escape until the conditions are better for your krumpin.8. quick attack once or twice if they saw you coming, it baits them into a kick so usually quick attack x2 and a power attack will generally wreck them. 9. Only kick/counter if you cant dodge roll or if you see them doing nothing but quick attacks more than twice. Remember you can move the camera while this move is charging so if they move you follow them to pull it off.10. If the enemy is wounded and has been using the camera trick, roll backwards when you see their kick/counter and then quick attack. Their animation will likely be over and you will land the hit. If you guys have tips to get da boyz ready fa da WAAAGH let me know I will stow em below here: Hope this helps someone out.
If iz see a enemy, i cry WAAAGH and charge dem directly. Less cunnin, moar lik a real boy! Takin cover is for grotz.
Dat'z sum propah cunnin'. Well, I'd suggest swapping all that fancy armor regen to a +1 Stamina - more Stamina is a huge advantage in melee. You also don't have that much armor to stack regen for, so all the more reason to get +1 Stamina. I prefer a stock slugga instead, since it has higher alpha damage (i.e hit like a trukk). Overall, ork pistol dakka is good, and I'd advice not to neglect it. Use it against power fists, when melee is too crowded or just on the move, for a few rounds in enemy's general direction - it will net you a surprising amount of kills. Also, do not spam the fire button unless you're at point blank or desperate.
