Best Borderlands 4 Amon build

As a gaming enthusiast, diving into Borderlands 4, I’ve found that Amon might seem invincible with his seemingly simple gameplay, but the truth is, his strength lies in your hands. You’re the one who shapes him, who makes him stand tall or crumble to dust.

In Borderlands 4, you have the option to pick among four distinct characters, each exhibiting unique combat styles. While it’s possible to adapt any character to your preferred playstyle, certain ones excel notably in specific areas, such as Amon who demonstrates a strong affinity for fire-based techniques.

If you’ve chosen to go with the mighty fighter among Vex, Rafa, and the formidable Harlowe, congratulations! You’re exactly where you need to be because we have an exceptional build tailored specifically for you (and anyone else who happens to be reading along).

Best Amon build

An optimal setup for Amon primarily emphasizes Incendiary (or fire-based) attributes and enduring damage, which significantly increases his survivability once the appropriate abilities are mastered, particularly with his Capstone ability.

  • Best skills: Executioner, Twin Tempers, Bolt Action, Reactive Armor, Dragon’s Breath, Fists of Stone
  • Best Action Skill for solo: Crucible 
  • Best Action Skill for co-op: Onslaughter
  • Capstone: Conflangarang
  • Weapon type: Incendiary

Best skills to choose

Solo

Action Skill: Crucible

The Crucible is unquestionably the top Action Skill for a solo Amon build. It equips him with axes that can be thrown and retrieved, making them instantly available again. You have the option to select either a Flame Axe or a Frost Axe, which deal Incendiary or Cryo damage respectively.

The standout feature is that foes struck by these axes become susceptible to an explosion upon their demise, dealing area-of-effect damage. This makes for a powerful solo play experience since you can activate it, hurl the axe at smaller enemies, and watch as they detonate, eliminating surrounding ones.

To discover if a particular skill is worth investing in and how much effort you should allocate to it, simply key in your preferred skill within the ‘skill filter’ section.

Co-op

Action Skill: Onslaughter

As an avid player, I’ve noticed that the fundamentals of combat and utilizing my skills remain consistent whether I’m playing cooperatively or solo. However, the Action Skill I employ and my overall fighting style can vary drastically in these two modes.

Due to Onslaught’s effect, Amon can excessively reinforce his Forgefist, resulting in persistent Shield Recharge, enhanced Incendiary Damage with firearms, and improved speed of movement for him. Essentially, your role would be to act as a sturdy defensive figure, and one capable of packing quite a punch.

Best Capstone

For Amon, the optimal Capstone is undoubtedly Conflangarang. With this choice, your Double-Edge will inflict Inferno Melee Damage on both sides, igniting foes and causing ongoing Incendiary Damage.

If you’re mainly a character with fire abilities, dishing out such significant damage from a distance while also using melee attacks and inflicting ongoing damage, that setup proves to be incredibly potent.

Seize it promptly for optimal use! It’s highly effective whether you’re confronting a powerful enemy or a band of marauders; it will bring about their swift defeat.

Weapon type

Among all the weapons presented, it’s hardly unexpected that Amon performs exceptionally well with Incendiary weapons.

Position yourself strategically with your preferred close combat weapon at the ready, making sure it inflicts fire damage for effective results. Additionally, keep a backup gun handy as ranged attacks will still prove crucial in certain situations.

Feel free to select any weapon that suits you best in this location; however, it’s advisable to avoid long-distance weapons such as snipers. Sniper rifles are typically used for faraway targets, and tanks are not designed for such precise shooting-it’s generally more effective for them to engage enemies at close range.

How to play Amon

Amon, truly embodies the role of a tank. He prefers to engage enemies closely and isn’t afraid of taking hits due to his steadily growing protective shield.

As your proficiency grows and you start employing these abilities, you’ll transform into a near-invincible entity. Your defensive shield will regenerate faster than your opponents can inflict harm upon it.

Instead of relying too heavily on your Conflangarang, concentrate more on tanking, attacking, and maintaining a defensive stance, allowing enemies to approach you. Extraordinary abilities beyond Forgedrones aren’t necessary in this situation.

Regardless if you’re working alone or with others, there are certain situations to consider. Working solo might lead to feeling a bit swamped at times, so remember to switch tasks often. If you’re collaborating, let your friends focus on defeating the enemies while you take the brunt of their attacks and protect the more fragile members of your team.

In summary, that covers everything you need to learn about creating the optimal Amon character in Borderlands 4. While adventuring through Kairos, don’t forget to look for ways to snag free loot via Twitch Drops, or you can progressively play all Borderlands games to prepare yourself, and lastly, check out an effective Harlowe build for Borderlands 4.
