Troopers, followers and keywords

Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski demo artwork

A Lasgun upgrade can add a second trooper with his own Lasgun. Whether other Lasgun levels add troopers, and how large the squad can grow, is not known.

Lasgun and Meltagun

Section titled “Lasgun and Meltagun”

Kozlowski starts with Lasgun. It fires at the nearest enemy and loses damage over distance. Paired with Gauntlet it evolves into Meltagun, a powerful short-range beam with bonus damage against bosses and close enemies. Both benefit from being closer to the target, so leave room to avoid attacks.

Kozlowski’s ability adds +5% Veterancy for each Follower and +1 Redeployment every 15 levels (max 2). Followers help his build, but it is not known whether extra Lasgun troopers count towards that bonus; watch his stats in a run.

Faction and role keywords

Section titled “Faction and role keywords”

Characters and equipment carry faction and role keywords, such as Imperium or Chainsword user. Shared keywords hint at which characters and items belong together, but the exact rule for what the game offers you is not known. A choice that is missing from one level-up can still turn up later. Build from what the level-up cards actually offer.

Rescues and Followers are different goals

Section titled “Rescues and Followers are different goals”

A rescue unlocks a named character for later runs. The Age of Sigmar and 40K goals for Bugman’s Tankard instead ask for two Followers in one run. Rescuing two characters does not by itself complete that goal.

Keep the character abilities and unlock goals beside your weapon plan, and watch the game’s own counters as you play.
