🔥 Build Concept

This build makes Amon into a blazing force in close quarters, leveraging the Onslaughter action skill for constant shield regen and bonus incendiary damage while also stacking melee and status effects. It excels in mid-to-late game where you can endure being in the thick of things.

⚙ Key Skill Trees & Trait Choices

• Primary Tree: Calamity — maximize perks tied to melee, incendiary output, shield sustain, and action skill benefits.

• Action Skill: Onslaughter — core of the build: it grants bonus incendiary damage with guns while active + shield regen.

• Use traits/augments that increase damage while Onslaughter is active, or that improve shield and mobility (to stay alive while up close).

🎯 Priority Skills & Perks

Here are skills to unlock first, in this suggested order:

Capstones (late-skill) should boost Onslaughter’s uptime or amplify status effects or melee damage.

🧰 Gear / Augments

• Look for equipment that enhances incendiary damage, status effect chance, melee damage, and shield regen.

• Augments that reduce cooldowns of melee or action skills help your uptime.

• Weapon wise: strong shotgun / close-range weapons work best here, especially ones that benefit from incendiary effects or status stacking.

🎮 Playstyle Tips

• Activate Onslaughter before engaging mobs. Get close, use melee or shotgun to maximize the incendiary bonus.

• Use cover and dodges when needed but try to stay in range where your perks (like Into the Fray) grant you bonus damage/defense.

• Trigger status effects and exploit weaknesses often to stack synergy with Bullet Storm, Gut Punch, etc.

• Manage your shield and health to stay active — shield regen and life steal nodes are vital here.
