	***An often overlooked weapon that is deceptively powerful. Despite what the DPS says, it really only excels against lighter targets, like Imperial Guardsmen, Eldar Guardians, and Gaunts. Its attack against heavier targets is resoundingly ''mediocre'' and a great example of why judging wargear purely by listed DPS is often a bad idea; with only 50% accuracy and poor per-shot damage, the Bolter is notorious for missing and failing to do damage either to mobs or to armored targets. Suffice to say, the blind grenades and energy regeneration bonus on this weapon, however, give it plenty of value, giving a tactically-minded Captain a great way to control mobs and high priority targets [such as the dopplegangers] as they're stunned for a few seconds, especially at its cheap energy cost. You won't get many kills with this weapon, but you ''can'' change how a battle is faring, which in many ways can be much more valuable.		***An often overlooked weapon that is deceptively powerful.

Also, he was one of the first heroes and lacks voice clips, so make sure that hearing "Carry the Emperor's will as your torch!" roughly ''one billion times'' every match won't drive you insane.		***The Litanies of Hate are a powerful tool; its cheap energy cost and quick cooldown allows the Captain to draw the attention of many targets quickly, keeping fire off of his teammates and giving a lot of needed crowd control, presuming the Captain can either shrug off the attack or run away from his chasers, of course.

	'''Explanation:''' Keep fighting, every time you land a blow you heal yourself and your allies (including the dreadnought) 5hp, the Lightning Claw is the fastest weapon the captain has, more even than the chainsword, and leaves a damage over time effect after a single hit which allows you to connect once and move on to the next squad leaving them to their fate of a slow death or hit multiple times and stack up the DoT effect for vehicles and heavy hitters. It's recommended to grab the Sacred Relic Armor for a bit of AoE damage boost but any armor EXCEPT Armor of Vengeance is solid. The reason to not take Armor of Vengeance is that Reactive Strike has the tendency to go off as your swinging and knock back the enemies you were about to hit before you do causing you to foolishly chase after enemies you were just in melee with and costing you lots of DPS. The damage from Reactive strike is nowhere near what your actual weapon is either so leave the Armor of Vengeance for ranged builds. The combination of your regen items and the dread soaking up some of the enemy fire for you should leave you time to clean a large chunk of the wave, but remember, if the situation becomes too dire you always have the jump pack to escape, earning some precious seconds of life and regeneration, it also allows you to throw yourself and disrupt enemy formations which is especially useful against Nid Warriors and Seer Council.

			Crank this build up a notch by combining the jump pack with Litanies of Zeal and Litanies of Hate. Taunt enemies to attack you while kiting them, giving your team mates and Dreadnought the chance to clear the map.
			To make things even better, you can jump between the wrecked tanks in Anvil and attack them to heal up.
			To be able to attack the tanks, go to "Options" in the main menu and set " Grid Hotkeys" to "on". Use the "D" key to attack the tank wreck on the side armor or edge, when the mouse cursor changes.
			Advantage: The AI of the heroes is pretty stupid sometimes; instead of attacking someone around, heroes turn or try to chase other enemies around you than the closest one, especially if surrounded by large mobs. This means: no attacks and no attacks mean no heal. Attacking the tanks works better.

	***A terrifying blob-killer with respectable anti-heavy power, this is perhaps the Captain's most versatile melee option. The fastest attack speed of any of his melee weapons combines with ''frighteningly'' high damage-over-time to ''murder'' crowds of light units, despite its on-paper DPS being the lowest of any of his melee weapons. And, unlike traditional area-effect attacks, it applies the lightning to the entire squad, no matter where they are. The Captain can slap a Cultist or Guardsman with this three times and walk off, and the whole squad will BZZZT to death all by itself. While its blob-killing power makes this an option worth using on its own, the lightning damage completely ignores armor and stacks with itself, and the fast attacks will stack it very quickly, so it still kills heavier foes like tanks with little trouble. Because of its high attack speed, it also gets the most mileage out of Litanies of Zeal; combining these two makes it a somewhat safer option for tanking and spanking superheavies than the Power Axe, ~~and~~ its faster attacks are less likely to be interrupted...or get him squished because he was stuck in an attack animation when he needed to move. In summation, the Lightning Claw is quite a lot like the Hive Tyrant's Venom Cannon or the Tau Commander's Plasma Rifle: good for quite a few things, at least decent for everything else; no Captain ever made a mistake by bringing this to the party.		***A terrifying blob-killer with respectable anti-heavy power, this is perhaps the Captain's most versatile melee option.
