How do you get Emperor's Wrath?

This pairing is for Warhammer 40,000 runs. A familiar passive can lead to a different recipe in the other universe, so check the universe label before building around it.

Emperor's Wrath evolution checklist: use the Shield of Faith, carry Bugman's Tankard at any level, and open a boss or elite chest. This is the core requirement set for the Emperor's Wrath evolution in Warhammer 40,000 runs.

• Base weapon: Shield of Faith; max level is required before its evolution step.
• Passive: Bugman's Tankard at any level.
• Chest: a boss or elite chest after the requirements are ready.
• Result: replaces the base weapon (standard evolution).

Step by step

Keep the weapon, passive and eligible chest requirements in view together. A matching weapon and passive do not trigger an evolution by themselves; the chest is the final step.

1. Level the Shield of Faith to max. Most weapons max out at level 8.
2. Pick up the Bugman's Tankard. Any level works, so you do not need to upgrade it.
3. Open a boss or elite chest. Kill a boss or elite enemy and open the chest it drops. If the weapon and passive are both ready, the chest gives you Emperor's Wrath.

Other weapons the Bugman's Tankard evolves

• In Age of Sigmar runs, the Bugman's Tankard evolves the Nebulous Sea-Fog into Aquatic Illusions.
