Weapon Recommendations:

• Switch between a burst weapon and the best single-shot weapon available.
• The Run and Gun talent allows for efficient burst shots at 1 AP.
• The Longlas is available early in Chapter 1.
• For burst weapons, las rifles are a decent early option. The Void Shadows DLC offers a heavy weapon in Chapter 1.
• In Chapter 2, a Heavy Bolter becomes an excellent option.
• The Blessed Bolter Casing neck slot item combined with Firearm Mastery allows for numerous accurate single shots that ignore cover and dodge.

Talent Notes:

• Lore (Imperium) points are useful early on but become less critical after recruiting Jae. Consider respecing into Awareness later.
• Heavy Weapon Proficiency can be moved to level 8 if a heavy weapon is acquired early via DLC.

Archetype Choice:

• Master Tactician is recommended over Arch-Militant for its significant boosts to momentum and party buffs like Press the Advantage and Inspire, which are superior for burst fire and heavy weapons compared to Arch-Militant's gradual lethality increase.

DLC/Item Synergies:

• Void Shadows DLC provides a heavy weapon early in Chapter 1.
• Blessed Bolter Casing in the neck slot enables a powerful multi-shot heroic ability.

Note on Flamers: While Argenta has free Flamer Proficiency, Ulfar is generally better suited for flamer usage due to Astartes flamers being more damaging.
