Psyker perils question

[Horror Bxtch ♡]

Hello all!

I've just started playing Dark Tide and was wondering about the perils system for the Psyker. I know that you are meant to quell the perils of the warp and not reach 100% otherwise POP!

Though I've noticed that, sometimes, I hit that 100% threshold and am fine if I just quell as I hit it. Does your mind burst only if you don't act at 100%?

Thank you!

when you reach 100%, you will not burst.

going OVER 100%, even by just a little, you will pop.

what's interesting about brain burst is that the burst will not take you over the peril limit. you could begin charging a brain burst on an enemy around 90% peril. you will eventually hit 100% mid-charge, but you will be completely fine when the burst happens.

it's weird. but like Todd Howard said: "it- it just works."

I appreciate the extra information! I have been playing incredibly safe with the meter as to save my self the embarrassment of just turning to red paste!

Hey look it happens to all the pykers I know from time to time okay, no need to make a big show out of it.

no problem, glad I could help.

as for self-popping, it has happened to every psyker at least once or twice so please don't feel shame when it happens. players will understand. I still do it on rare occasion despite my hours invested as psyker.

the only time you should feel embarrassed is if you let yourself pop 6+ times in a single game. but this is an extremely rare case, from what I've seen.

Absolutely, I'm sure it happens and it's bound to happen to me too. Just tryin' to make it as rare as possible!

6 times in a game? I'm sure I'll match that at some point!

A bit more numbers: Brain burst - without warp stacks you can start safe from 97% peril, with full stacks i don't boom in psykanium on 98%, but on 99% still boom. But even by fastest resting you rest something like 5% so thats not important.
On all sticks you can charge up to 99%, and safely attack here, on fire stick you can even finish this long attack,(so fire stick is quite funny - fire at horde, got -10% from killing, charge new one, start at 99%, and again.) but on all you will boom on 100% and no weird stuff with warp stacks.

Appreciate the additional info!

Also since you're new, I think it would be helpful to know that you can save yourself from popping mid-animation by using your [F] ability so it's okay to be a bit reckless if you have the charge. Took me quite a while to figure that out myself.

Oh okay! I was actually wondering what F did which might sound a little silly but I was just shoving people and was like - is that it? Thank you for the heads up!

What the others have said, but just to add there's a small safety margin too.

If you hit 100 and about to pop, hitting R for quelling often works if you're fast enough. You have to be quick though.

If not, you've got approx 3 seconds to tap F and use your main class ability to drop 50% peril and not go pop.

Just got to be careful for the next 30 seconds until that recharges :D

A safety net of sorts, thank you for the information!
