AmonWELCOME TO DOT SHOT AMON! Amon


The core premise here is simple. Abusing high DOT Maliwan weapons in combination with Disc Launcher. The Maliwan enhancement that gives your guns 100% status chance is EXTREMELY exploitable on Amon. Mix it with Amon's snappy reloads and big focus on Status Effects in tree and the enhancement itself becomes an entire build.

Shoot - reload - shoot - reload.

Apply MASSIVE shock DOT. Electrical Fire applies a MASSIVE fire DOT. Death occurs.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS ANNOYING - but really, it's not. These Stellium shotguns have short and clean animations that barely take a second on this set up. Make the habit of pressing reload EVERY time you shoot, and it quickly becomes a game of ha-ha I set you on fire - and you - and you - etc. Plus, the slow Maliwan orb means you need to aim so you'll always have time to get the reload done while you judge the next shot.

"Girth wont the slow projectile speed make it harder?"

Nah. The radius is big enough you don't need to be super precise. It also becomes easy to make a habit of simply rushing the enemies and landing the shot somewhere near them if the crit isn't achievable. With a few minutes of practice it becomes EZPZ. Asher's Rise is nice for getting up from FFYL if no one is within Stellium range.

Loads of the players out there are already using Hot Sluggers so what's the difference? Less pressing R? Nope. You should be manually reloading The Slugger regardless. This is more fun than a Slugger and does more damage.

What ends up happening is you lob a shock orb of doom towards an enemy. As long you reloaded your gun before doing that all you have to do is nip them and they will be lit up with a DOT that THEY WILL NOT SURVIVE.

Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Mobbing is cake.
  • Bosses have nightmares of this build
  • AOE coverage
  • Easy up from FFYL if enemies are close
  • FUN!!!! Very high APM build
  • Augments are flexible
  • Flashy 1 shots
  • Specific items
  • Very far away enemies are annoying
  • Some would consider the involvement a negative. I consider it fun.

Build Variants

There are several different ways to water this set up down if you're working your way up to it.

Sweet Embrace is an ok stand in until you find a strong Stellium.

Icon is super rare - Primed Potency is what you need from it.

Watts 4 Dinner with Amp parts will work as a stand in if youre not able to finish the bossfight fast enough and Protean Cell is giving you issues - this is a SWEATY set up.

DOT Shot 2.0 - worked A ok and didn't rely on an underbarrel. Use 3/3 High Caliber and a regular Stellium until you can get that one drop. Abuse the piercing properties of High Caliber and shoot downward at the boss through their foot - applying 2 DOTs instead of one (sometimes)

Calamity

Onslaughter

Stormcutter for its quick animation to start invincibility from afar and looping Onslaughter

What Burns Within soup for fire damage

Wield the Storm extend the naturally shorter shock DOTs tiny bit - and make the other DOTs far more potent with extra ticks at the end.

The Best Defense you can put a point here if you've subbed in Watts 4 Dinner - just use Slippy.

Gut Punch will get applied by grenades and Stormcutter

Catastrophe global crit chance for Contamination synergy

Crackling Aegis for buffing DOT damage

Electrical Fire for applying double DOTs with shock gun and for mixing with Catastrophe

Cybernetics

Executioner skill crit is chunky. Catastrophe crits dont get card crit but they DO get skill crit.

Get The Lead Out for a bit of reload speed.

Bolt Action bonus applies its own DOT from enhancement

Herald's Call zap soup

Vengeance

The Thrill heals you gud


Equipment

Weapons
Repkit & Ordnance
Utilities

Maliwan Shotguns - Stelliums - single projectile high DOT damage guns.

The IDEAL shotgun is shock main disc launcher underbarrel and Jakobs parts.

Ideally you want at least Jakobs licensed parts for the ricochets.

Asher's Rise solid DOTs if you mag dump the crit spot

Hellfire decent DOTs if it rolls sticky shrapnel cannon

Convergence with the fuel rod cannon underbarrel

Crit Knife - just throw one you dont need 100% crit chance and you dont have time in the bossing loop anyway

Protean Cell the bonus damage applies to EVERYTHING including your DOTs, the bonus on your guns can also apply a shock DOT which will then get the bonus again

Jakobs pistol with Debuff vial underbarrel - for debuffing.

Firmware

Repkit & Ordnance
Repkit FirmwareHigh Caliber
Ordnance FirmwareHigh Caliber
Utilities
Class Mod FirmwareDaed-dy O
Shield FirmwareDaed-dy O
Enhancement FirmwareDaed-dy O

Daed-dy O - on shot damage to buff DOT - switch to underbarrel right after reloading

High Caliber - more on shot stuff and projectile speed

ALTERNATIVE - if you don't have a good disc launcher you can run 3/3 High Caliber

    • Shoot downward through a bosses foot to make them get hit twice with High Caliber - this does nothing for energy disc though.


Specialization

Specialization 1Contamination
Specialization 2Bullet Train
Specialization 3Riddle You This
Specialization 4One Shot, One Kill

Contamination for pumping up DOT chance

Riddle You This if youd like to bring an actual gun like a TKs or a Plasma Coil

Bullet Train for shooting on the move - more for convenience.

One Shot, One Kill pump up damage on unamped shots, gets drowned out once you have on shot and amp built up though. Maxes at a little under 5K damage flat damage.



Gameplay

Mobbing

  • Pop Onslaughter for bonus fire damage (and DOTs!) and run around nuking everyone you see.
  • With Stormcutter specced you can both extend the duration and refund cooldown of Onslaughter for damaging enemies.
  • If you can damage 4 enemies with Stormcutter you should have Onslaughter back.
  • Shoot reload, shoot reload, shoot reload
    • If you'd like to abuse transfuser and pump up the DOT damage it spreads to completely unnecessary levels - watch this video I made and learn how to do a funny

Bossing

SWEAT ALERT! For maximum DPS like I displayed the rain dance is involved. Luckily maximum DPS is not needed.

PRE FIGHT

  • Shoot one round - do not reload - do not switch to Disc yet.
    • If you're using a Triple Bypass for amp you can use it now.
    • If you're using a purple amp with a 2nd damage perk WAIT.
  • Slam on the launch pad or boss drop in so you get launched as you act
    • This part is flexible, some bosses give you less time than others. Inceptus sucks but Radix is slow.
  • Pop Onslaughter as you're mid air entering the arena

FIGHT START

The use of Protean Cell puts you in a precarious position while dancing in front of a boss. This means you need to fit this DPS routine into a short time span so you can deal with any damage you take by abusing Forged In Steel. This coupled with Onslaughter filling up your shield will keep you alive just long enough to nuke the boss.


  • As you land use Stormcutter to make yourself invulnerable
  • AMP DURING THIS ANIMATION!!!!
    • You can animation cancel repkits with several different actions by using the ampkit during the animation. Slams, Forgeskills, and probably some action skills. Experiment.
  • Throw a crit knife
    • This is not needed but it helps with the flashy kills - if you're having issues you can skip it
  • Reload your gun for Bolt Action / Primed Potency
  • Switch modes for Daed-dy O
  • Shoot doom disc

PASSIVES YOU WANT

Ideally you want On Shot stuff for your gun and soup for your DOTs.
