🌬 What Scourge Does

The Scourge action skill turns Amon into a damage-absorbing tank: he uses his Forgeshield to absorb frontal damage, convert it into Vengeance, and then unleash Forgewaves that deal high cry0 ordnance damage. When his shield is active (through Scourge), many passives double their effect, making his damage and durability scale very well.

⚙️ Key Skill Tree & Synergies

Primary Tree: Vengeance
Action Skill: Scourge

• Boost Cryo effectiveness and status effects when Scourge is active (e.g. Wrath of Nature)

• Increase ordnance damage and magazine size (e.g. Scorched Kairos)

• Add passives that restore health/shield when status effects are applied or when Firewalls absorb damage

• Use Kill Skills like Icy Rage to take advantage of Cryo kills for buffs

• Capstones or late-tree options that enhance Forgewaves or “Firewall → Capstone” transformations for strong crowd control or boss damage bursts

🔫 Weapon & Gear Priorities

• Use weapons that benefit from Cryo effects (guns that apply Cryo status or have synergy with Cryo utilities)

• Gear with strong shield regen, barrier strengths, durability to stay in the Scourge-shield state longer

• Augments that refund cooldowns or extend action skill duration are valuable (more uptime = more value)

🎮 Playstyle Tips

• Initiate Scourge in fights so you absorb incoming damage and build up Vengeance quickly

• Use the Forgewave attack (from the action skill) when you’ve built enough Vengeance for maximum damage

• Position so you can face enemies with your shield, use “Firewall” or its transformed version (if unlocked) to create zones that protect and deal damage/status effects to enemies

• Prioritize freezing / crippling priority targets so Cryo damage and status effects can slow, control, and whittle down bosses or groups
