Holy Revenant
In Warhammer 40k: Darktide, Holy Revenant is a passive ability for the Zealot class that heals the player after their "Until Death" buff expires. When you take fatal damage, the Until Death passive activates, making you invulnerable for 5 seconds and keeping you at 1 health. During this short window, you deal as much damage as possible, and when the 5 seconds are up, Holy Revenant restores health based on the damage you dealt, up to a maximum of 25% of your total health. Melee damage contributes three times as much to this heal as ranged damage.
How It Works
Fatal Damage:
When you take damage that would normally kill you, your health is set to 1, and the "Until Death" buff activates.
Five-Second Invulnerability:
For the next 5 seconds, you cannot be killed or downed, though you can still be disabled by enemies.
Deal Damage:
Use this brief window to deal as much damage as you can to enemies.
Health Restoration:
When "Until Death" ends, Holy Revenant triggers. The amount of health you regain is based on the damage you inflicted, with melee hits providing more healing, and is capped at 25% of your maximum health.
Key Points
Synergy:
Holy Revenant works in conjunction with the Until Death passive to provide a burst of survivability and healing.
High-Damage Weapons:
To maximize the benefit, it's recommended to use high-damage or multi-target melee weapons like the Thunder Hammer or Combat Axe during the Until Death window.
Team Communication:
Since killing enemies around the Zealot during Until Death is counterproductive for the Zealot, some players suggest a visual or audio cue for the team to indicate a Holy Revenant is active.
