Deathwatch
Heroic-tier Power Fist variant.
Heroic Perk: Combi-Weapon
"Pause after any Light Attack to enter a stance, then Light Attack again to fire a Melta blast that inflicts the burn status."
The perk adds two attacks: Melta Blast (Tap) at Motion Value 2.5 and Melta Blast (Hold) at Motion Value 1.8, both with Cleave 10. They deal melee damage, so the variant multiplier and melee damage perks apply to them.
| Melta Blast | Motion Value | Damage | Cleave |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap | 2.5 | 60 | 10 |
| Hold | 1.8 | 43.2 | 10 |
Damage is the Deathwatch with no perks: 12 × 2.0 × Motion Value.
Both blasts also set the target on fire: 8 ticks over 5.5 seconds. The burn deals Pyre damage at a flat amount per tick set by difficulty, takes no melee bonuses, and refreshes rather than stacks.
| Difficulty | Burn Damage per Tick | Total over 8 Ticks |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal | 5 | 40 |
| Average | 7 | 56 |
| Substantial | 12.5 | 100 |
| Ruthless | 17.5 | 140 |
| Lethal | 17.5 | 140 |
| Absolute | 17.5 | 140 |
Burn values are before the enemy's Pyre sensitivity.
