You can find many guides from different people about their best builds in community. But when you check their results and read what they wrote - you can understand that's only empty words from beginners which cant pass all waves without dying. So why does they give some advices?!

Why this guide is better the others?
I've played over 1400 hours in this game, almost all of this time was spent only on Last Stand. I've earned 27+ millions for all classes and 30 millions for Tau. So yes, I am probably pretty good here and have the right to give some advices.

Please, dont waste your time sharing your opinion about your builds on comments section, for that you can create your OWN guide. All messages about your "good builds" will be deleted without any answers. Beat my score first, then you can talk about your "good" builds. As simple as it is.

I've recorded some videos of my games. This games were created with 8 and 9 elite tokens.
You can`t get so much points with full equipment without elite tokens. Without bragging, just to show that I'm not another newbie from the game community who wants to seem like an experienced player.

Stunner is a hero which can block most dangerous enemies and during that time, your teammates can kill them without any problems. Especially, that's important when killing clones and getting maximum scores.

Game include 4 kind of stunners. Only the first two of them are really reliable. Third and fourth also can be used but they wont be so effective and can cause strong problems if you are a newcomer.

So, stunner classes efficiencies (in order): Tau > Necron >> Space Marine > Farseer

Tau: with XV8 'Armored' Crisis Battlesuit - armor.
Necron: with Raiment of the Tesseract - commander item.
Space Marine: with Litanies of Hate - accessories.
Farseer: with Runes of the Harlequin - accessories.

Tau - obviously best stunner. Use him for better results.

Space Marine - will taunt on all enemies and then run away. Don't try to become the hero. You can attack only small and medium enemies. Your ranged teammates must kill heavy targets. Distance of taunt: full map. Costs only 3 points of energy. Very fast cooldown. You can use that ability infinite amount of times.

Farseer - is the worst choice between stunners. She can confuse enemies. But after using her ability, it has cooldown and can`t confuse second target so fast. Also, player which chooses Farseer must have enough skill for using that class correctly. 16 and 20 waves wont be easy.

Its the best build in WHOLE game. You are like a God. 3x Tau with the same build - best team.
Effective against all targets. Drone is very effective against invasion of small enemies.

Sorcerer power: "teleport + doombolts", at first. And his clone - at second.
Sorcerer without "teleport + doombolts" - dont deserve to be called Sorcerer. Feel free to leave him on his own.

1). Use your doombolts only in very close distance, under your feet.
2). Be sure to copy right targets. Only if your right target dies, copy the best one which you can.
3). If you have second life for clone, DONT copy anything during 4 wave. He's too slow.
4). Copy "warriors" during 5 wave. With second life from your Sorcerer, they'll be very helpful.
5). Copy "raveners" during 14 wave. They're ranged and better than "warriors".
6). If you havent good targets during 16 wave, just dont copy anything. Kill them all and copy Carnifex (huge Tyrant) during 17 wave. He will survive until 20 wave.
7). DONT copy anything else during 17-20 waves if your Carnifex still alive.

1). Tyrant (1 or 2 build)
2). Tau (4 build)
3). Tau (2 build)
4). Tyrant (3 build)
5). Tau (3 build)
6). Tau (1 build)
7). Space Marine (1 build)
8). Space Marine (2 build)
9). Necron (2 build)
10). Necron (3 build)
11). Carnifex (17 wave)
12). Melle Dreadnought (19 wave)
13). Bloodletters (20 wave)
14). Chaos Lord (20 wave)
15) Warboss (18 wave)

Rules for 1 and 2 builds. Not suitable for 3 build.

I recommend starting with this class. Its very easy to use. Just stay near the most difficult gate and shoot them all. Protect your ravener, no one should block him, he must always keep shooting. If he was blocked - spawn new one. Another slave have not big attack, but have very high armor. He's useful only as protection for you and your ravener. He's like "human shield". He will often provoke enemies.
WARNING: Your clone will be VERY SERIOUS ENEMY. Especially his ravener.


● Weapons: Devourer Cannon
● Armor: Bonded Exoskeleton
● Accessories: Ravener Nest ... Toxin Sacs ... Tyrant Guard Nest
● Commander: Evolution

If you have not "Devourer Cannon" (DLC), you can use "Venom Cannon". Its a little bit worse.

● Weapons: Venom Cannon
● Armor: Bonded Exoskeleton
● Accessories: Ravener Nest ... Toxin Sacs ... Tyrant Guard Nest
● Commander: Evolution

I can recommend this build only during leveling. Its not mobile. You cant kill small enemies so fast. But you have the maximum melee attack and very powerful armor. Also, "Psychic Scream" item is very useful. When you activate it - all enemies in the big affected area will not attack anything during some seconds.

● Weapons: Behemoth Claw
● Armor: Thornback Carapace
● Accessories: Psychic Scream ... Toxin Sacs ... Implant Attacks
● Commander: Thornback

Mekboy has only one good build. The only difference is which weapon you will use. You must buy
" Mekboy Wargear DLC " to get "Juiced Up Tellyporta" item or this builds are not for you.

With "Big Shoota" weapon - you can provoke enemies and can save controll points. But its harder to survive in comparation with "Big Choppa". You have only 2x health regenreration and it may be a problem with the lack of energy if you are using very agressive style of the game.

● Weapons: Big Shoota
● Armor: Teleporta Pack
● Accessories: Juiced Up Tellyporta ... Sturdy Bitz ... Cybork Parts
● Commander: Trophy Rack

Its not ranged weapon but gives you 4x health regenreration. You can be a small "tank".
Also, this weapon ability gives you chance to get some free energy when you kill enemy.
Don`t use second slot, better leave it empty. Your rocket launcher will mess your attacks sometimes.
As for myself, I prefer this build. There're no problems with health regenreration and energy. You can play maximum aggressively. Your clone will be absolutely useless. He will try to kill you only in a melle attack with a knife.

● Weapons: Big Choppa ... "Empty slot"
● Armor: Teleporta Pack
● Accessories: Juiced Up Tellyporta ... Sturdy Bitz ... Cybork Parts
● Commander: Trophy Rack

General has only one good build. The only difference is which armor you use.

Power of your General located ONLY in his "Rocket Run". Spam it against a big clusters of enemies as often as possible. Use "Super shot" of your sniper rifle against medium and heavy targets only.
Hold a distance from ALL enemies. Nobody has to approach close to you or you will die very fast.
"Stormtroopers" can be only used as "human shield" but they reduce amount of necessary energy and giving you very useful ability (you will be able to escape from any bad situation).

This build can be maximum effective but really easy to die. You need some practice and get used to it.

● Weapons: Deadly Sniper Rifle
● Armor: Cadia Pattern Carapace Armor
● Accessories: Rocket Run ... Medallion Crimson ... Honorifica Imperialis
● Commander: Stormtroopers

It has less energy regeneration but you'll be able to survive easier. Use it only if you aren't assured in your surviving.
● Weapons: Deadly Sniper Rifle
● Armor: The Black Plate
● Accessories: Rocket Run ... Medallion Crimson ... Honorifica Imperialis
● Commander: Stormtroopers

First of all, Necron is not overpowered. He is balanced. He is very slow, absolutely not mobile.
Shortcoming of this class is only that he is too slow and can't kill enemies quickly.
He isn't suitable variant for the fast scored games but has several useful things.

Use your 2 abilities as often as possible against a clusters of enemies. "Raiment of the Nightbringer" has very big cooldown even with "Glyph of the Tireless Harvest".
You'll need a little practice to get used to this weapon. Its area damaging.
Health regeneration is 6,3x, what means that its very hard for you to die. You also can be a "tank".

● Weapons: Lance of Annihilation
● Armor: Diadem of the Nemesor
● Accessories: Glyph of Living Metal ... Glyph of the Star Gods ... Glyph of the Tireless Harvest
● Commander: Raiment of the Nightbringer

Use this build if you need stunner for your team. Its also good build but in some different way.
Your weapon is effective against medium and heavy targets. Big radius of injury.
"Glyph of the Reclaimer" is very effective against invasion of small enemies. Its his best item.
Health regeneration is 5,0x means that its very hard for you to die. You also can be a "tank".

● Weapons: Staff of the Phaeron
● Armor: Diadem of the Nemesor
● Accessories: Glyph of the Reclaimer ... Glyph of Living Metal ... Glyph of the Tireless Harvest
● Commander: Raiment of the Tesseract

Use this build only if you need "heavy tank". Not really good build, but its playable.
Melle weapon, not mobile. Heavy armor with "Glyph of the Reclaimer" - practically impossible to die.
Effective against all kind of enemies but only in mellee combat + low speed of the attack. You can practically 'feel' cooldown for your melle weapon. Also "Raiment of the Nightbringer" have biggest cooldown in game.

● Weapons: Warscythe of the Phalanx
● Armor: Diadem of the Nemesor
● Accessories: Glyph of the Reclaimer ... Glyph of the Implacable ... Glyph of the Wraith
● Commander: Raiment of the Nightbringer

Its a favourite class of all beginners. But its not suitable variant for the fast scored games.
He can't kill enemies quickly. it is the defence class. Choose him if you are a total begginer
and lazy player which doesn't want to study something new.

200 health and very heavy armor means that its very hard to die. You can be a mobile "tank".
For getting this shield you need to buy " Captain Wargear DLC ". Without it, this build will not
be so effective. Anyway you have a medium speed of attack and can't perform multikills.

● Weapons: Inscribed Combat Shield ... Lightning Claw
● Armor: Armour of Vengeance
● Accessories: Jump Pack ... Litanies of Zeal ... Rite of Fortitude
● Commander: Dreadnaught Drop Pod

If you havent bought DLC and want to be able to kill small enemies fast, I can offer this build. As for me, I prefer it. Its my choice. But its much more difficult to survive. Need some skill.

● Weapons: Plasma Gun
● Armor: Artificer Armour
● Accessories: Jump Pack ... Parable of the Stalwart Brother ... Rite of Fortitude
● Commander: Dreadnaught Drop Pod

Use this build only if your 2 teammates have high extent of the ranged attacks and need a stunner.

● Weapons: Inscribed Combat Shield ... Lightning Claw
● Armor: Armour of Vengeance
● Accessories: Litanies of Hate ... Parable of the Stalwart Brother ... Rite of Fortitude
● Commander: Larraman's Blessing

This build gives you less health regeneration but "Jump Pack" will give you some more mobility.
Use this build only if your 2 teammates have high extent of the ranged attacks and need stunner.

● Weapons: Inscribed Combat Shield ... Lightning Claw
● Armor: Armour of Vengeance
● Accessories: Litanies of Hate ... Jump Pack ... Rite of Fortitude
● Commander: Larraman's Blessing

The worst class in this game. It hasnt any good builds for fast attacks. Its a full support class.
Her mellee attack damage is very low, practically zero. You can kill enemies only using your abilities.
All games with this class will be very boring and long. Dont use it if you want enjoyable game.

If you'll use items like invisible or mass teleportation - it means that only your teammates will be able to kill enemies when you'll stay like AFK. During 20 wave, enemy Farseer will use mass teleportation too and someone of your teammates will fight against 3 clones and lord of chaos TOGETHER.
Running around the corners like a chicken will not help your teammates. They will die every time the hard wave income. But you'll survive, off course. Its a wrong strategy. You are also must be pretty fast in killing enemies with your teammates.

"Runes of Fortune" gives yo very useful ability. It noticeably lowers the received damage.
Its cost cheap and have fast cooldown. You can spam it often for your teammates.
You are effective against small and medium targets but havent "Spirit Stone of Eldritch Might".
With "Runes of the Harlequin" and "Runes of Fortune" you can be the best "tank" but you'll not have any attacks.

● Weapons: Pistol of the Skyseer ... Witchblade of Isha
● Armor: Armour of Idranel
● Accessories: Runes of the Harlequin ... Runes of Fortune ... Runes of War
● Commander: Spirit Stone of Vigor

Seems that here you can get maximum attack result from this class.
You are effective against small and medium targets. Confuse heavy targets.

● Weapons: Pistol of the Skyseer ... Witchblade of Isha
● Armor: Armour of Idranel
● Accessories: Runes of the Harlequin ... Runes of Vigor ... Runes of Evasion
● Commander: Spirit Stone of Eldritch Might

When you're playing with random players, prepare yourself for this variant. It'll be in 99% of cases. Most players even dont know what means "clones gate" and therefore won't stun any clones.

Yes, you can survive even without stunner. But there're 2 ways:
1). You need to use absolutely another builds. More defenses, less attacks. Games will be a lot longer. There will be a high chance of loss and the received points won't be so high. Do you really need it?
2). You need a big experience in this game, 300+ hours minimum. All 3 players have to know what to do on any of the following waves.

For second variant I can offer this teams. But it'll be practically impossible to survive for beginners. Try to play them only if you are a pretty skilled player. These teams don't make sense to be here. It approaches better for classic "Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II" for score games with elites.

a). 1x Sorcerer, 2x Tyrant (1 or 2 builds)
b). 2x Sorcerer, 1x Tyrant (1 or 2 builds)
c). 3x Sorcerer (with 3x Carnifexes)

16 wave will be the hardest one, and you'll require some luck for 20 wave. Off course, remember always to copy enemy Tyrant.
For 3rd team - you'll have to kill all clones and copy 3x Carnifexes during 17 wave. Enemy Sorcerers shouldn't copy your Carnifexes. You need to kill them accurately and quickly.
