Master the Soulblaze mechanic in warhammer 40000 darktide with this Psyker build guide. Learn about key feats like Wreck and Ruin and Kinetic Overload.

The Soulblaze mechanic in warhammer 40000 darktide is a fire debuff that periodically burns enemies with a distinct white fire effect, which can spread to other foes. This mechanic has strong synergy with the Psyker’s feats, allowing for builds that bolster Warp Charge generation and damage.

  • This build begins to feel useful from Malice difficulty onwards.
  • Requires level 30 to see its full potential, as the base Soulblaze effect without the key feats is ineffective.

Key Psyker Feats for the Soulblaze Build:

  1. Wreck and Ruin (Level 10): Killing an Elite or Specialist with Brain Burst applies two stacks of Soulblaze to all enemies within 3 meters of the target.
  2. Kinetic Overload (Level 25): While you have maximum Warp Charges, gaining a Warp Charge instead applies four stacks of Soulblaze to a nearby enemy, prioritizing Elite enemies.
  3. Ascendent Blaze (Level 30): Psykinetic’s Wrath expends all Warp Charges and applies Stacks of Soulblaze to enemies hit based on the number of Warp Charges expended. Enemies killed by your Soulblaze effect have a 10% chance to grant a Warp Charge.

Other talent spots are largely personal preference, focusing on healing peril and restoring toughness. Six stacks of Warp Charge are highly sought after for spreading more Soulfire charges.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use the Brain Burst ability to build up to maximum Warp Charges (4 or 6).
  2. 2
    Spend all Warp Charges using your Psykinetic's Wrath ability to spread Soulblaze fire onto hordes.
  3. 3
    Spread Soulblaze by killing Specialists and Elites within hordes to apply additional stacks.
Tips
  • This build excels at melting hordes rapidly, especially on harder difficulties, when Soulblaze stacks are applied to large groups, Specialists, and Elites.
  • You need to play differently, waiting for enemies to group near Elites for optimal Soulblaze spread.
  • Prepare your Warp Charge stacks before unleashing your Blast ability.
  • Be aware that this build is not ideal when a boss spawns far from a horde, or during assassination missions where Warp Siphon stacks may expire during elevator rides.
