Vanguard CLEARS Tyranids With Combi-Flamer + Frost Axe (True Solo Absolute) - Space Marine 2

In today's video, I'll be playing as the Vanguard class in a True Solo Absolute run while using the Combi-Flamer and the Frost Axe. I'm going to be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the Combi-Flamer on the Vanguard. The damage felt a little underwhelming at range, and I'm pretty sure there's damage drop-off on the Combi-Flamer, meaning that if you're not directly in front of an enemy, the damage you deal decreases depending on how far away you are. Looking back, I think I would have been better off using the Ammo Variant of the Bolt Carbine, considering the Frost Axe is already good at clearing swarms. The Combi-Flamer also seems to be better suited to classes like Tactical and Sniper, although you could say that about pretty much any weapon, depending on the class you're using. On the other hand, the Frost Axe is good at pretty much everything. The only thing I don't like about the Power Axe is that you can get caught out sometimes because you can't animation cancel, and the recovery time on the Overhead Strike is fairly long for some reason. I don't know why it's like that, and I feel like it shouldn't be the case. If an enemy performs an unblockable attack just after you've done the Overhead Strike, there's usually not much you can do about it, and you'll end up taking damage. For my secondary, I'm using the Heroic Heavy Bolt Pistol. Hope you enjoy the video!
