Darktide's getting a Sisters of Battle class on December 7
Technically a Sister Novitiate but still.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has revealed that its latest class, the Sister Novitiate, will be released on December 7. This addition finalizes the Adepta Sororitas faction in the game. The Sisters of Battle have been long-awaited by players. Similar to the Skitarii, the Sisters Novitiate possesses a distinct design. They can select from six Acts of Faith instead of the traditional blitz and combat abilities.
Instead of using resources such as blitz and combat, Sisters Novitiate manage Faith to unleash offensive Neural Whip or support abilities like the Icon of Purity and protective prayers. Faith increases through combat via Doctrines and Pledges in the talent tree, enabling Sisters Novitiate to unleash up to two chosen Acts of Faith.
They will be granted weapons like Condemnor Stake Thrower, Ministorum Hand Flamer, Mace of the Righteous, Penitent Eviscerator, Novitiate Sword and Shield, and even a meltagun - the first one in Darktide. These weapons are set to be available as a free update for the Veteran class. Despite the unusual scenario of a full Sister of Battle running with convicts and rejects, a Sister-in-training fitting the game's theme is plausible.
The new class is available on Steam for €12, identical to the Skitarii's price, when it launches on December 7.
