Best Psyker staff class build in Warhammer 40K: Darktide

The warp has never been so powerful.

Warhammer 40K: Darktide allows you to go on a crusade all of your own as you crush past the filthy heretics, your weapons gleaming with fury and gore. As the Psyker, you can benefit from the use of force staffs, powerful weapons that can blast your opponents from a distance and really control the battlefield. But if you really want to make an impact, then you should design the rest of your build around your force staff. Here is the best Psyker staff class build in Warhammer 40K: Darktide.

Secondary weapon

The staff is super powerful, but you’ll need a solid weapon to back you up when the warp is too much and the enemies are closing in. You’ll want something reliable and versatile for any situation. You already have the super powerful staff and abilities, so you won’t need anything ultra powerful. Just something quick, damaging, and easy to use.

For that, I would recommend a Lasgun. There are some different varieties and types, but ultimately any Lasgun will do. If you have found that a particular weapon works better for your playstyle, then go ahead and use it. Lasguns are generally good, however.

Curios

Curios are fantastic pieces of kit that assist your operative through passive bonuses. You can have three active, but only as long as you have unlocked all three slots.

There are a variety of curios to choose from, but to really maximise you force staff capabilities, you’ll want curios that increase your damage and increase your toughness and health. The latter two are important, as the Psyker is a rather fragile operative. At least with more health and toughness, you may survive long enough to flee your enemies whilst your Peril reduces.

Feats

When it comes to your feats, there aren’t exactly any that would directly assist your staff, however many of them are concerned with the warp and with Peril.

Carefully choose feats that will make Peril easier to deal with. This will allow you to use your staff more and have shorter recovery times. The more you can use your staff, the better. With the right feats, you’ll be vanquishing enemies like there’s no tommorow.
