Best Yrilet Characteristics in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader

To properly play Yrilet's in Rogue Trader, here are the most important characteristics to pick when leveling her:

• Ballistic Skill: Yrilet's primary skill as a sharpshooter is Ballistic Skill. Since she will primarily be fighting in ranged combat, this Skill is essential to boosting her overall effectiveness and damage output.
• Intelligence: Alongside boosting Idira's Tech-Use skill, it provides her with additional Lore (Xenos) points, making her better at combating threats.

Best Yrilet Abilities in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader

Here are the best Abilities to take on Yrilet's while leveling her in Rogue Trader:

• Analyze Enemies: Combined with Expose weakness, you get a debuff on your enemies, hurting them more.
• Expose Weakness: Yrilet removes all exploits for the target to decrease the target's dodge, armor, and parry until the start of her next turn.
• Sniping Spot: Yrilet gains a cover efficiency bonus whenever you are in cover, allowing her to do more damage.

Best Yrilet Talents in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader

This is the list of best talents for Yrilet's in Rogue Trader:

• Dismantling Attack: This ultimate is a true boss killer. Its third upgrade drastically reduces the dodge and armor of enemies in a radius.
• Ballistics Calculation: Very good for providing extra damage on Yrilet.
• Insightful Precision: An upgrade for the Precise Attack Ability, making it even stronger by boosting Yrilet's Perception bonus.
• Las Weapon Expert: Goes well with Aeldari Long Rifle and later on Eye of Hecaton as both of these are Laser rifles.
• Comprehensive Analysis: Works great with Analyse Enemies. Having 2+ existing Exploits makes the target of Analyse Enemies suffer an even greater penalty, gaining +1 additional Exploit. Furthermore, existing Exploits (2+) worsen the effect of Analyse Enemies, stacking another +1 Exploit onto the target.
• Continuous Analysis: At the start of the Yrilet's turn, the enemy with the most exploits receives an additional exploit stack. If two or more enemies are tied, one is chosen randomly, further adding to the Talent synergy.
• Combat Insight: Grants Yrilet +1 AP and the ability to ignore enemies' deflection, which goes well with her sniper rifle main weapon, especially when fighting tougher opponents.

Here are some of the best skills for Yrilet's in Rogue Trader:

• Medicae: Allows Yrilet to heal herself and her allies, which is a very useful skill in combat, especially if things start to go awry.
• Awareness: Enhances situational awareness, making it easier for Yrilet to detect potential dangers like ambushes, traps, or concealed objects.
