Vermintide 2 Class Guide: Markus Kruber
The former sergeant Markus Kruber survived the fight against a necromancer as the only one of his troop. Since he was not allowed to leave the military afterward, it was witch hunter Victor Saltzbrand who convinced his superiors to transfer him to his service.
Level 1 – Mercenary
Markus left the military to follow his own path as a mercenary. His military training helps him in handling many weapons.
- If you hit at least 3 enemies with an attack, you gain increased attack speed. So use weapons with wide swings like halberds!
- Your attacks penetrate multiple enemies regardless of hero power. If possible, try to hit enough targets in boss fights as well.
- Your ability “Hero Boost” grants you and the group temporary health and knocks enemies down. Use this ability mainly when you are about to be overrun or when a strong enemy is about to use an ability.
Level 7 – Huntsman
To find his peace, Markus has retreated into the wilderness. With a focus on hunting, his handling of various ranged weapons is noticeably better.
- You do not lose attack power at range. Stay far from enemies without separating from the group to eliminate foes from a great distance.
- Aim for the head! Headshots grant one ammunition, so you are both more economical and effective!
- Your passive ability increases the critical hit value of the group. Combine this ability with those of the Witch Hunter Captain or Shade to maximize group advantages.
Level 12 – Foot Knight
Markus rises in his new position at the Order of the Reikshammer and now pursues his career there. This gives him access to the weapons of an imperial knight.
- You take less damage, have increased stamina, and give the entire group a resistance aura. You are well suited to hold many enemies permanently.
- The Foot Knight is a tank specialization. Use your abilities to stand at the front and take enemies off your allies.
- Your ability “Taal’s Charge” knocks down small enemies and hits boss enemies. While you stand still against them, you can use that to not run too far away. You also interrupt abilities with this.
Premium Class: Grail Knight
You can only play as a Grail Knight if you previously purchased the “Grail Knight” DLC. As a Grail Knight, you are a melee fighter intended to take down multiple enemies at once or larger enemies with great force.
- Your career skill is a powerful strike that deals great damage, can instantly knock down smaller foes, and significantly damages elite enemies. Use it as often as possible in fights against bosses and co., and try to secure appropriate elixirs – similar to Shade (Kerillian).
- Seek out combat and play aggressively. You are among the best classes in the fight against elite enemies, and you should also make that your mission if you want to serve your group best.
- Additionally, you can even block warp flamethrowers of the Skaven with your shield, making you ideal for the frontline. Always have at least one weapon slot with a shield combination filled.
- As a unique mechanic, you can complete “Duties” in a mission. For fulfilling them, strong buffs for the entire group await. Duties and rewards are drawn at the beginning of a mission.
