Hi everyone, we got the information about this video late last night (I finished this at 3am). One thing I misunderstood is that the survival mode will be starting on sept 7th!
Perfect timing: two days for the pre-orderers to be able to binge SM2 enough to do anything in Tacticus beyond uncapping tokens and energy, and on the other end two days for the 6 people who didn’t know about SM2 before this event to get it.
Bolter has some of the best LRE characters. Bellator, Burchard, Calgar, Isabella... it is one of the few that doesn't need multiple diamonds in order to clear to battle 12. Usually restrictions like piercing-only, 1hit max, psychic only etc. are considered to be trickier.
So excited for him actually since he offers a very unique active ability. SP x GW have done a good job with the upcoming SRE timing. Time will tell his potential.
Yep, buffing the Aunshi+Ragar combo. Something that was definitely very much needed. I think Celestine could do with some love too. Maybe 3 Geminae would help?
Thanks for the video. Do you think it is worth to farm Calgar (and/or Celestine BTW), considering the delay the use of energy will cause on the development of the heroes I already have?
Yeah 100% worth it for calgar. Still one of my most used characters. For Celestine, it’s worth it for Tournament arena. Overall, For me, I knew I would play the game for a long time so was happy to invest in opening one or two characters at a time constantly until I had them opened, then I levelled. I now have everyone open except Morvenn vahl
@@DBPreacherTacticus thank you! I had done that when I started playing, for Maugan Ra. But once I got him I started leveling so fast that got me wondering if that had been worth it. Also, since you are here... The same for Aun'shi and Jaeger? (The most important part of the game to me is TA and in second the LREs)
Aun’shi is a difficult one. He works in TA right now with the Ragnar bomb team but I expect that to change. He does score a lot of points in LRE’s but he needs to be overlevelled to work as he has no real defence. Jaeger is so much fun to play as a character generally and I use him a lot in TA. He also can be great in LRE when overlevelled but doesn’t score as many points. Overall, I would always just be opening one character at least until you have them all. Start with the quicker characters and leave the 3 month ones till later.
2:50 I'm sorry but I don't think the event is live right now? (Aug 21st?) Or am I missing an update? Edit: September 7th is the Event date, comes with a patch. Thanks for the updates below
Yeah so the idea for us was that we would release these videos with the patch! But the patch got delayed and we were allowed to release early. Apologies for that!
Since I like the boys in blue i I’ll get him but ! Will he be in the roster active ?? Not sure don’t think so but will see , Galatia secondary was the greatest disappointment
Being a fan of the first Space Marines game, I was initially super excited to see him but he kinda falls short. Not in functionality but I guess his role... He is obviously built as a LRE character who could be used well in incursion and GW but he doesn't fill enough of the requirements for LREs. And the requirements he does fulfill already have strong characters. They could have added a couple more niche damage types or traits so he has more use.
I see that they try to get exra hype for one release thru the otger but way too much imperials and specifically smurfs... Maybe the last machine should have been chaos dreadnaught or a complete tyranid faction together with Titus Its not a knock agains the game but.. meh?
@@DBPreacherTacticus Anything would be better than the smurfs having 6 ACTUAL Charecters plus MOW (which was pushed as 'the sixth charecter of a faction); and also this makss the imperium 'deeper' for release events.

Great quality and info. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you! This was made at 2am last night so brutal to get out there on time!
@@DBPreacherTacticus Yikes! And you worked that morning? We appreciate you
He's going to be great for bolter-only in LRE. That one is a bit difficult already
That shouldn’t be though as you have a perfect Isabella battle ball for that
@@DBPreacherTacticus I am unfortunately one of those Isabella-less players :)
Oh no!!!! That sucks, I hope you get her very soon brother ❤️
@@DBPreacherTacticus It all comes in good time :)

Yeah I agree. Also excited for playing him in SM2 as well!
Nice video thanks. Didn’t see this coming but it looks fun. Another nasty combo with Aunshi and Ragnar. Double howl is 3x extra damage from the start.
Yeah let’s hope we see a bit of a change to that soon!
Yep, buffing the Aunshi+Ragar combo. Something that was definitely very much needed. I think Celestine could do with some love too. Maybe 3 Geminae would help?
@Kumquat666 yea actually while we're at it, Khárn could use 6 hits instead of 4 on his passive
Wow, you put done work into this video!
At 3am in the morning no less!!! Thanks, glad it was appreciated!
Can't wait
Yeah!
Alright im not hating on any if the other content creators by saying this but you got the best production by a mile
Thank you! I am glad it is appreciated ❤️

@@DBPreacherTacticus Thank you again!
Thanks for the awesome video! I know you don’t touch on TA, but I’m curious if he will slot into the Rag’Shi well or not. Thanks for what you do! 🍻
It’s difficult to say for sure. There is definitely a possibility but not sure who you would replace for him
2:50 I'm sorry but I don't think the event is live right now? (Aug 21st?)

Sept 7th.
@@Theredglovedman perfect, had a feeling but just wasn't aware. Thank you!

@@DBPreacherTacticus Well that's not on you at all! Thank you for the info will edit the comment to reflect the changes
This also means there’s hope for Grimaldus and Dante!
Yeah I think this opens up a lot of opportunities!
Dante is my baby
Sweet
Innit!
Since I like the boys in blue i I’ll get him but ! Will he be in the roster active ?? Not sure don’t think so but will see , Galatia secondary was the greatest disappointment
You don’t like the dreadnought? I’m surprised. He has become a staple for me
Galatians plasma cannon is useful as hell. It's like a mix of forgefiend and cadian battery, except it does more damage
Galatian’s secondary is great for the rogal dorn, has enough pierce to do good damage and the dorn follows very obvious pathing so its easy to set up
what does he unlock at? rare epic?
I am not sure, I didn’t get time to fully go through it yet due to the surprise delivery of it!
Epic
Tbh I’d use him if he was trash and at least he’s made incisus more viable
Incisus is great ❤️
Is this event similar to Manateo ?
Looks closer to Asmodai with the added new survival mode
No def it’s own thing
I think the only reason he isn't as ez takes some more time to lv. Is cuz the event will give away many crates with rewards. Which speed them up.
That makes a lot of sense!
Being a fan of the first Space Marines game, I was initially super excited to see him but he kinda falls short. Not in functionality but I guess his role...
He is obviously built as a LRE character who could be used well in incursion and GW but he doesn't fill enough of the requirements for LREs. And the requirements he does fulfill already have strong characters. They could have added a couple more niche damage types or traits so he has more use.
Yeah the imperials really have too little traits that work in LRE. There are also quite a lot of them that could work but don’t get a chance yet!
I see that they try to get exra hype for one release thru the otger but way too much imperials and specifically smurfs...
Maybe the last machine should have been chaos dreadnaught or a complete tyranid faction together with Titus
Its not a knock agains the game but.. meh?
We really do need more chaos troops!
