Best Kibellah Features in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
There are four characteristics for Kibellah and all are good, especially Dexterity and Weapon Skills. The last two are Toughness and Strength, but toughness is a bit better because it helps with self-damaging sands. However, if that’s not a concern and you want to deal more damage to enemies, then Force might be the right call.
- skill: This is the main characteristic you want to focus on from the start. It will help you initiate dodges and effectiveness of skills like Blade Dance.
- Weapon Proficiency: This is the second most important characteristic as it increases critical chance, parry chance and reduced chance for enemy dodges.
- Hardness: Now we have durability that blends well with the overall build compared to strength. It helps with survivability because we rely on self-damaging abilities.
- strength: Then again if survivability isn’t much of an issue with your party or buffs then strength might be good as extra damage is never a bad idea with melee based characters.
Best Kibellah Skills in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
Kibellah has a few options when it comes to abilities, but you can only equip two, which makes choosing the right ones all the more important. Here are the two skills you want to go with to get the most Kibellah out of this build.
- Captive Public is the first skill you want to get. This helps you apply bleed with all attacks to ensure damage over time.
- The last skill you want to pick up is Blood Oath. This ability deals damage to your character and then negates all chances for enemies to dodge or parry your next attack.
Best Kibellah Talents in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
With Kibellah, you’ll have tons of options with talents, but only a few work well in real-world situations. At first, all the talents sound good, but they are not practical most of the time, so below I have laid out the best ones for the Kibellah build.
- Blade in His Hand: This talent adds agility to damage with swords and with two-handed swords.
- Blood Red: Increases your mobility to tackle multiple targets at once.
- Feel No Pain: It is essential for negating the negative effects of self-harming abilities.
- In the Step of Death: This provides mobility when allies kill enemies, which is crucial for repositioning and dealing with distant enemies.
- Pledges of Blood: This one restores action points when you deal killing blows to help with consecutive attacks.
- Spinned Blade: It increases your parrying or grappling ability which is useful when dealing with multiple enemies at once.
- Unforgiving: This increases damage as Kibellah takes more damage.
Best Skills for Kibellah in Warhammer 40k Rogue
With Kibellah, you’ll have tons of skill options with common talents, but there are three main ones that improve your build, so focus on those the most.
- skill: Dexterity is the most important aspect of the build, so, with abilities, this will always be your first option.
- Demolition: Then we have Demolition, which increases your skill, which is a no-brainer with this build.
- Medicae: Since we rely heavily on self-damage attacks, something like medicae will definitely help with the healing side of things.
Best Archetype for Kibellah in Warhammer 40k Rogue
The best archetype for Kibellah is consistently the Executioner. With the abilities of this archetype, Kibellah will be able to gain buffs and damage from killing enemies. This makes her extremely viable as the fight goes on as she becomes more powerful as she kills enemies and damages herself more. So it’s a natural choice to go with Executioner.
Best Kibellah Weapons in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
For gear and weapons, go with the ones that benefit you in skill and weapon skills to maximize all the skills you have. Additionally, get a two-handed sword that will help with the Blade in His Hand skill to benefit from enhanced damage. If you don’t have two-handed swords, a good choice is Omnissiah’s Providence, which you can buy from Opticon-22.
How to Play Kibellah in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
To play Kibellah with this build, you need to take extra care to position her in a place where she can easily deal close range damage. This will allow her to use her dexterity and weapon skills to their best advantage to maximize bleeding and sands. Additionally, use Blood Oath without fearing it after you have Feel No Pain as it helps negate its damage. In short, it’s a simple build where you get in close to deal damage to enemies and take out mobs or snipers before they can do much damage.
