  • Optional: Conflagration Discipline
    • Unstoppable Conflagration – When using any psychic ability, gain +1 damage until the next turn (stacks up to three times).

Preferred loadout and battlefield role

  • Armor – N/A.
  • Wargear – Any item that adds a bonus to ranged damage/crit or ammo.

The Purifier class in Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is a bit clunky to use. Yes, the flame affliction tends to remove the mutations (i.e., buffs) of hostiles. However, this pales in comparison to classes like the Chaplain (team-wide buffs), Librarian (team teleport/quick stun), and Interceptor (teleport and crit).

Ideally, you’ll want to use the increased damage per ammo in conjunction with your Incinerator’s Flames of Purity. If you can get Rapid Reload to proc, then you have a shot at doing an additional flame spread. There’s also the Unstoppable Conflagration proc that you can try out, though it does require you to cast psychic abilities. If you can maximize certain skills, then this can work in your favor.

Lastly, the Purifier class in Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters does have access to Hammerhand, but it’s on the opposite side of the skill tree. You might be better off with Astral Aim (which is closer to the Incinerator boosts), though you won’t be able to do an execution due to the lack of a melee weapon.
