Necromunda: Underhive Wars Goliath Builds Guide

For Necromunda: Underhive Wars players, if you are looking for builds for Goliath, these are some pretty solid Goliath builds I put together. They have high survivability and of course high melee damage.

This guy hits like a truck. The highest crit I’ve had on him is 673 with a 2h axe.

Heroic Barrage
Heroic Rally

I didn’t test any other leader builds since brawler and heavy seem to be the best suited because of Heroic Onslaught and Heroic Barrage.

Haven’t really tested this build that much, but clearly the long range version is superior. The idea behind this build is that you’re in the thick of things and giving out the AP buff every turn. Problem is usually your team is scattered making the aura pointless.

Can potentially knock out in one turn but not as well as a brawler. The sabo is a utility/support class anyways.

I actually prefer this sabo over the duel wield one. Good melee damage after 3rd turn.

Dido but from afar. Can potentially deal out some serious damage after the 3rd turn.

The basic strategy is you spend the first turn buffing up while they beat up on each other (if more than 2 gangs) then nuke the hell out of them as they go for the carry items.

The brawler, heavy, and deadeye are your main damage dealers. The sabo and mech deal with tinkering and sabotaging then help clean up later in the mission.
