00:03 In this video, we will introduce you
00:08 to all the intricacies of combat in Warhammer 40,000 Rogue
00:13 Trader.
00:15 In the 41st millennium, you can wage war from afar
00:19 or get close and personal.
00:22 For ranged combat, ballistic skill
00:24 is the main characteristic.
00:28 But not the only one used.
00:32 And don't forget about cover.
00:34 Use it to survive and to deny your enemies such a luxury.
00:39 As for your firearms, be aware of their effective range.
00:45 Choose how you want to dispatch your enemies--
00:48 single shot or burst fire.
00:51 Or purge them with fire and plasma
00:54 using your area attack arsenal.
00:57 But mind the trigger finger.
00:59 Friendly fire is on.
01:02 For close combat, weapon skill and agility
01:05 are the most important characteristics.
01:07 By default, your melee attacks will always hit.
01:11 But your enemies will also always try to parry or dodge.
01:15 They will try either, depending on which chance is higher.
01:20 And don't forget to bring your friends along for the ride.
01:24 Together, you can overcome the deadliest of challenges.
01:27 Close combat even allows you to disable dangerous sharpshooters.
01:34 And if your enemies attempt to flee, punish them for it.
01:41 But what about damage?
01:45 First of all, let's take a look at how armor works.
01:51 Each piece of gear can protect you from damage.
01:54 But despite this, powerful weaponry
02:01 can pierce through them, especially if they crit.
02:08 Every hit has a 10% chance to crit, dealing 150% damage.
02:13 Both the hit chance and damage of crits can be modified.
02:20 And last but not least, your morale,
02:23 which is represented by the momentum system.
02:26 The morale of your party is not constant
02:31 and will fluctuate over the course of battle.
02:33 This system allows you and your companions
02:40 to make use of unique abilities.
02:50 And those are the basics.
02:53 Now you are ready to crush your opponents,
02:57 or at the very least, understand why you died trying.
