A Guide for 2-Hander Handmaiden on Legend difficulty. Weapons, Properties and Traits The Sword: I like my attack speed.
For the second trait, more crit is always welcome. You could also run a defensive option like Block Cost Reduction/stamina here. For the Trait, you want Swift-slaying.
The Vermintide 2 crafting system isn't very intuitive, so it's easy to miss how to extract and apply illusions at the forge. The loot and crafting systems received an overhaul in Fatshark's end times co-op adventure Warhammer: Vermintide 2, with a few new additions that returning. Next Basics User Interface Prev Warhammer Vermintide 2 Game Guide The following page contains helpful advice for Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Practical starting tips will help you get around the game and enjoy success faster.
(Like just about anything else, lol). The Bow: I use the longbow, as I dont think any of the other options really benefit handmaiden in the least.
You will already have fantastic horde clear dashing around like a maniac with your big sword, so hagbane isnt really all that helpful, and shortbow. Shortbow is just bad. On my bow I run + vs. Chaos, and + Crit Chance.
Taking vs., Chaos can help with taking down Chaos Warrios, as well as allowing you to 1-shot headshot marauders with the quick shot, but it isnt all that huge of a deal. Taking crit chance is nice because sometimes you dont always nail your headshots, and a crit will allow for some forgiveness. For my trait I've been rolling with Conservative Shooter, because free headshots is always nice. This ones pretty much preference, and open for experimentation. (Havent tried it with Hunter/Barrage, could make for some new breakpoints).
Accessories Necklace: This ones gonna be basically down to preference. On my necklace, I like to run + Health, and + Block Cost Reduction (arguably the best defensive stat in the game). As handmaiden you should generally be the last to go down, so I just run natural bond and leave healing supplies for my teammates.
Can run whatever though. Charm: I like taking as much attack speed as possible, since you will be sacrificing 5% in talents, so any bit helps to make up for that. For the second, vs. Armour will alow you to 2-shot bodyshot stormvermin, in case you miss the headshot (also nice for backstabbing shieldvermin) You could swap that for vs.
Skaven for the same result, but vs armoured will buff your damage to Chaos Warriors as well. Trinket: Pretty standard, Curse Resistance to keep your hp up for full book runs (so you dont run the risk of getting 1 shot), and Crit chance = more Swift-slaying procs. Talents Level 5: Not so important. I take Quiver of Plenty, because I feel like every time I dont use it, I find myself out of ammo in the worst situations. But if you are better at managing your ammo than I, and dont feel you need it, the extra stamina from Asrai Vigour is a pretty decent defensive option.
Level 10: Eldrazor's Precision. This is pivotal to the build, and is what gives handmaiden a leg up for easily reaching breakpoints. You do sacrifice some attack speed, but it is easily made up for in your weapon/charm properties. Level 15: Anything here is a decent option, so take your pick.
I find the extra dodge range works wonders for kiting bosses, dodging overheads, and dodge dancing hordes. The extra stamina regen is pretty fantastic too, and can be a great boon to your allies. Movement speed I guess, if you want to be 'that one elf'.
Level 20: Spirit Echo. With how much your sword will be cleaving in hordes, you will be building tooons of temp, which helps for shrugging off the occaisonal hit those filthy lunge-rats sneak in. Level 25: Gift of Ladrielle. Easily the best 25 option for handmaiden, the stealth is just so incredibly helpful in a variety of situations, and provides tons of survivability.
Gameplay Tips Some general tips and tricks:. Push attack has notably increased crit chance, you can make use of this to get your swift-slaying procs started, then swing away. The stab can be charged and held indefinately, combo this with your dash for fly-by facestabs (takes some practice). The charged stab can be chained repeatedly with proper timing, bypassing the followup swipe.
This is good for Boss DPS, taking out multiple stormvermin, as well as just following up in case you miss a headshot. Your class ability will one shot trash (slaves, zombies), extremely effective in hallways/chokepoints - line em up, and knock em down!. When holding boss aggro for Ogres, and Spawns, walk towards them and chain face-stabs followed with a dodge. This baits out their slam attacks so they stay put. Easy face-stabs. Make good use of your stealth talent, it is extremely useful for getting safe revives, as well as giving you a few seconds to safely snipe specials with your longbow.
Also know when not to use your dash, as you will drop aggro, thus forcing more onto your allies! Can be especially important to keep in mind when you have a boss + horde combo. While regular Stormvermin will be nothing but trash mobs to you, the Shield variants will still be a pain in the ♥♥♥ Try to snipe them with your bow ahead of time, or dash behind them and backstab. (Yes, Handmaiden can Shade too). When dealing with Chaos warriors, your Longbow is going to be your best damage (3 or so headshots, depending on crits) I find their hitboxes make for very unreliable face-stabs with the wsword, thus making for some lackluster dps.

Don't forget about blocking - blocking enables you to nullify incoming enemy damage. However, you can't do it constantly - your character has a certain value of Stamina (when you block you will see shield icons on the screen).
Blocking enemy attacks will cost you stamina - if it drops to zero, you will take normal damage. The more powerful the enemy is, the more stamina shields will consume their attack. You should also pay attention to how efficient a weapon's block range is - it's displayed next to the Stamina meter of a given weapon. This value determines when your blocks are the most efficient. Attacks dealt outside a block range will be blocked but they will consume more shield icons (two times more).
Make your healing count - you can restore your health with either healing draughts or medical supplies. You won't find many of them on the map (especially on higher difficulty levels), so use them only when you have to, e.g.
When your character has around 10-15% health left and there's trouble ahead. Use strong attacks - strong attacks are your only way to kill armored enemies.
Hitting them with normal attacks won't even make a dent in them, and the only thing you'll see will be the red shield icon. Heavy attacks offer different ways of damaging enemies. Depending on a weapon you can attack an entire group of enemies or you can use a strike that will penetrate armor.
Use both light and heavy attacks to eliminate your opponents. Help your allies - this is meant to be a co-op game. You'll need to cooperate with your team and help each other out. Protect the other members of your team, heal them, help them if they get swarmed by enemies. How to begin a mission?
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 doesn't have a classic menu showing you all the options. Instead, you will find yourself in a fortress, where you can use objects to activate various options, such as the forge, where you can open the crafting menu. To begin a mission you must go to the map hanging in the central part of the fortress. Activating the map will allow you to start a quick game or create your own waiting room, where you can invite your friends, or play with bots. For more information, please refer to the ' ' page of this guide.
How to acquire chests? The chests play a very important role in the game - inside you will find random gear, which will allow you to increase the Power level of your hero (influencing the damage you deal). Higher quality of a chest means that you'll get better equipment as a reward. The chests are acquired by completing quests and challenges (see the 'Okri's Challenges' page in our guide) and by leveling heroes. You can open the chests at the center of the fortress (or in the 'Spoils of War' menu), but remember that the type of weapons you gain depends on the character you are currently using.
For example, if you open a chest as a Markus Kruber, you will get gear for this character (you can get items for all three classes available to a given character).
