Psyker Psykinetic
The Psyker is the least durable class in terms of base health and toughness, but in spite of this boasts huge versatility and can call on the powers of the Warp to deal huge amounts of damage to enemies or keep them stunned.
Weapons like the Force Sword allows them to work well as a mele heavy-hitter, there are also an array of staves to choose from, each one channels the warp to take down enemies in different ways, burning, electrocuting and exploding makes great effect.
The Psyker’s Brain Burst ability allows you to deal big amount of damage to dangerous enemies, but it also takes a while to charge up and you can’t do much while you are channeling it, so it requires a little bit of practice.
What class to play in Warhammer Darktide?
All Warhammer Darktide classes can handle the highest difficulties so you can try all of them and decide which one is best for you but the Veteran can be the best class in the game. Their extremely high single target damage is pretty good, also the Veteran’s incredible horde clearing tools makes them safest option for clearing enemies.
But keep that in mind that they are not the fastest class in the game, as for speed matter, Zealot can beat the Veteran pretty easy, with their ability to go through hordes.
In terms of killing enemies, there is not a better class than the Veteran. The Veteran has a ability which makes them deal 50% improved damage to key threats. The Veteran is the most effective Elite Killer. The Veteran also has a good health pool, starting at 200 regenerating Toughness and 150 health.
The other three classes are also pretty fine. The Zealot has incredible ability to clear horde enemies and good at single target but the Ogryn’s horde clearing is the best, even if they have trouble to killing elite enemies from long range. The Psyker has stellar killing elite enemies but their massive cooldown slows them down. Brain Burst deals great damage, but in terms of utility, the Veteran is far more better.
