In a surprising twist, Borderlands 4’s seemingly weakest character is capable of delivering a staggering quadrillion damage with just one punch. This over-the-top capability redefines the game’s balance and showcases the wild creativity fans expect from the franchise.

Borderlands 4’s Weakest Character Can Deal Massive Damage

Borderlands 4: Amon’s One-Punch Build Guide

Overview

If you’ve been diving into Borderlands 4, you might be surprised to discover that Amon, the character many deemed as “bland,” is secretly a powerhouse. With some tricked-out builds, he can deal insane damage with just a punch. Let’s break down how to max out Amon so you can become a one-punch machine!

Key Skills to Master

Amon’s skills focus on boosting melee damage and applying debuffs to enemies. Here are the essential skills you’ll want to invest in:

1. Impetus (Calamity tree)

   • Investment: 3/3
   • Boosts shield regeneration and movement speed after a kill.

2. Discombobulate (Calamity tree)

   • Investment: 5/5
   • Increases melee critical strike chance.

3. Tritanium Knuckles (Calamity tree)

   • Investment: 5/5
   • Boosts Amon’s melee and skill damage.

4. Gut Punch (Calamity tree)

   • Investment: 1/3
   • Adds a chance to weaken enemies, making them deal less damage and take more.

5. Berserk (Calamity tree)

   • Investment: 5/5
   • Enables berserk mode for bonus cryo damage and slow immunity.

Damage Mechanics

To make Amon truly vicious, you’ll want to fully utilize two mechanics: Berserk and Groundbreaker. The idea is to stack as much bonus damage as you can with Berserk (which also boosts cryo damage) while triggering Groundbreaker’s bonuses with melee hits.

Each punch builds up damage, so here’s the gist:

• First Punch: Deals base damage.
• Subsequent Punches: Gain increased damage stacking every time you hit.

Pro Tips for Damage

• Punch Like a Pro: You can land game-changing hits with just your fists. Amon can typically take down most enemies, including bosses, in just a few strikes.
• Infinite Damage Stack: While Moxsy, a noted content creator, showcased dealing over a quadrillion damage with a single punch, the fight usually ends before reaching crazy numbers. Focus on getting those quick hits!

Skill Suggestions for Ultimate Build

While you can select other action skills, Onslaughter is a projectile punch skill that can be unwieldy. Instead, stick with skills that enhance your melee capabilities to maximize your damage output.

Build Summary:

• Use cryo and melee enhancements from Berserk.
• Stack damage rapidly with your punches.
• Look for enemies to weaken and hit hard for critical damage.

Final Thoughts

Amon’s time in the limelight isn’t going to last forever, especially if he catches the attention of developers looking to balance the game. Until then, embrace the chaos, punch hard, and knock out everything in sight!

Whether you want to show off to your friends or just want to crush the game, this build is what you need to get started in Borderlands 4!
