Level all your Squads to Level 20 before the Last Stand Mission as they will come to aid you against the Hive Mind. The level cap is 20 so think before investing in something you are not going to use.

The Dreadnaught instead of Avitus or Tarkus- it doest make any difference beside a weaker team. Trait, and do pretty good in Defence OrdonanceД«ut at the beginning I swiched Tarkus or Avitus with Thaddeus- This team can do a lot of damage, use it when the target is vulnerable to hand-to-hand damage. I suggest you invest in Energy until you get the Venerable Dreadnaught Trait and the rest in Stamina and Strenght.ДЇorce Commander Tarkus Cyrus and Avitus- This can deal with anything, giving ultimate survabilty as long as Tarkus has Tactical Advance on and I shall not Fall Although Davian Thule is primarely a melee warrior, I like to equip him with assault cannon because it can attack at range and deal with any enemy that survived and came in close. DO NOT invest in Range.Дavian Thule- heвЂ™s a former captain of the Blood Ravens, killed by the Tyranids, now returned as a Holy DreadNaught. I usually equip him with Rosarius and Melta Bombs, his high mobillity makes him perfect against vehicles. I suggsest you invest in Stamina and Strength, also get the Accesory slot. He can be pretty deadly in the first part of the game but once you get the Terminator Armor his Jump Assault becomes a Teleport which doest do any damage.

Thaddeus-leads a squad of Assault Marines. It is best if you invest in Range and Stamina or will, consider the fact that if you invest in Will you canвЂ™t get the Terminator Honors trait which allows you to fit him with Terminator armor. His main ability is Focus Fire, this allows a far better damage output and it can be вЂњdevastatingвЂќ for Tyranids. He can use a variety of weapons like Heavy bolters, Missile Launchers and Plasma Cannons in Terminator Armor he has an Assault cannon, get that if you can. The most useful trait is Advance Infiltrate.ДЄvitus-leads a Devastator Marine squad, this squad suppress any enemy including some bosses. DonвЂ™t equip Cyrus with Bolters or Shotguns, I found them pretty useless, get him a Sniper Rifle its ability to suppress and long range is ideal for killing at long range without any problems. You should invest in Will a lot and Ranged or Stamina, you choose. There may be some bosses who spot Cyrus, I will warn you which of them do. He can get close to some Bosses, planting some mines and Detonation packs, severely weakening the Boss. He has 2 accessories slots but it may be extended by investing a bit in Melee, you should get that. He may be lightly armored but he can be your deadliest warriors. The most useful trait is the вЂњI Shall Not FallвЂќ Trait, as it allows Tarkus to tank any boss without dying as long as Tactical Advance is on.Д¬yrus- is the lead who leads a squad of Scouts his main ability is to get infiltrated becoming invisible to the enemy. The points should be invested in Stamina and Ranged, but Ranged can be switched with Strength as far as I know heвЂ™s the only viable option of hybrid. Tarkus- leads a Tactical Marine Squad he can use Tactical Advance ability which allows the squad to soak any type of ranged damage without too much of a trouble. It is he only one without a Squad and the only one that can use Commander Items.

Soon after you teleport into a group of enemies use Charge to Victory and, if you want War Cry.

Getting him a Jump pack or a Teleport Pack can get him into or away from the fray without any trouble and (if you have Jump pack) do some damage. I always invest in Stamina as it grants a special effect to Charge To Victory it can render him invulnerable, allowing you to tank bosses at the begginning. Will- grants Energy Regeneration and Energy points.ДЇor the squads you have to choose from 6 types of units each led by a Sergeant, except 2:ДЇorce Commander- heвЂ™s a custom character, with your customised name. Strength- Melee Damage and Melee skill (likelihood to perform special attacks) Stamina grants Health Regeneration and Hit Points. Later in the game you will get 2 more squads Thaddeus and if you complete some missions you will get a Dreadnaught.ДЄt each Level up you will get 2 point which can be invested in Stamina, Melee, Ranged and Will. Note: I have played the game under Captain Difficulty Warhammer Dawn of war 2 is a RPG-RTS from Relic in which you lead a small team of 4 squads.
