Tacticus Sarquael – Hellblaster Sergeant

Tacticus Sarquael

Bolt after bolt of plasma sears across the battlefield; those caught in the Hellblasters’ sights are swiftly annihilated, their armour blasted to ash and their flesh and bone to glowing motes.

Tacticus Sarquael Abilities

Supercharge

Deals 1x X Plasma Damage to a target enemy within range 3 and 1x Y Plasma Damage to up to two enemies in adjacent hexes behind the target, all with +25% pierce ratio. Until the beginning of Sarquael’s next turn, any further hits that deal Plasma Damage against these units also have +25% pierce ratio.

Grim Retribution

During each enemy turn, if there is no enemy adjacent to Sarquael, he shoots back at the first enemy within range that attacked him or a friendly adjacent Dark Angels. This shot counts as Overwatch and deals 1x X Plasma Damage.

Tacticus Sarquael Traits

Final Vengeance

When this unit loses its last Health, it immediately performs a normal attack on an eligible target and is then defeated as normal, unless Overkilled.

Overwatch

If this unit has not attacked during its turn, nor after that, it attacks when an enemy moves within range during the enemy’s turn.

Heavy Weapon

When this unit has not moved this turn, it deals +25% Damage with ranged attacks.

How To Use Sarquael

Double Overwatch

Sarquael’s passive, “Grim Retribution”, allows him to fire back against enemies that attacked him. This means that aside from his innate Overwatch ability, Sarquael can attack twice during an enemy’s turn. If you fancy just playing by tapping on “Skip”, bring this guy whenever you play Onslaught.

Satisfying Splash Damage

“Supercharge” is an ability that allows Sarquael to deal damage to a total of three enemies. This can be incredibly useful if you have targets that are funneled into one hex. Enemies behind your first target will receive a slightly lower damage but then again, they also get an increased pierce ration up until lthe next turn.
