DLC 3 Augments completely revived the Gundancer build after it was gutted by the 1.6 nerf to Fleet Combat Training.

This Navy Officer Bladedancer mixed-arms build is now one of the strongest and most fun sword / gun setups in Rogue Trader.

Hold on, so this build is a Navy officer with cybernetic laser eye, sword and gun, and a prosthetic hook arm? HOLY SHIT, WE HAVE A PIRATE CAPTAIN HERE

In before Owlcat comes back in with the "no gun and sword" bat.

Detachment from death staff have game breaking bug. I equipped that and Staff of Mindsight, just swap weapon during your turn. You stack dodge to allies each time. You can have infinite dodge on everyone in party

Doing a hard playthrough right now. The gundancer sounds like a good build for my first unfair playthrough

I don't usually use other people's builds but man this one looks fun! Definitely gonna try it out

@KrisKringle252 2 months ago

Literally just started a run two days ago with this build lol. Glad to see it’s updated now too!

Gundancer would be an awesome anime title.

Interesting build. Like seeing these creative ones. Like other commentators, I wonder if Owlcat will allow this to exist for long before they come in with the no-gun-and-sword "patch"

Awesome, thx - Is this build already in the spreadsheet?

Edit: found it👍

Using very similar sword/gun setup on Abelard with AM Ogryn grip and 2h chainsword.

I know its much weaker, but I dont care. Abelard just does aura farming.

@bastianpena1309 2 months ago

Really nice the TRUE space pirate build, im just gonna slap a plasma pistol ( i know they are weak it's just for the cool factor) along with a burst pistol and a xeno sword and we good to go

Hey man, great build. How does this compare to the navy officer knife assassin in terms of damage, ease of use and overall fun factor? especially for a newcomer?
