If you love running headfirst into battle, soaking up damage and dishing it out in equal measure, you\'d do well to check out Amon the Forgeknight, one of the four all-new Vault Hunters wreaking havoc on Kairos in Borderlands 4! In addition to being a resilient frontliner, Amon has a mechanically complex set of Action Skills with primary and secondary functions that\'ll tickle the cortexes of even the most experienced players.

Watch the Amon Gameplay Overview video above to watch Amon tear his enemies asunder with an arsenal of Forgeweapons, which take form via the Forgedrones stored within Amon\'s cybernetic-enhanced beefcake body. Amon can attack or defend as needed, ready to pulverize enemies with a Forgehammer, slice them in twain with Forgeaxes, soak up damage with a Forgeshield, and much, much more.

Check out the full rundown of his abilities and three skill trees on the [u]Amon Vault Hunter page[/u] nested within the [u]Game Info page[/u] . Here\'s a high-level overview of the core Action Skills that Amon can unleash:

• Crucible: Wield the elemental might of fire and ice with Amon\'s twin Forgeaxes, which deal Incendiary or Cryo damage by default, have multiple charges, and can be picked up to reduce their cooldown. The Forgeaxes make any damaged target Primed, causing them to explode in a damaging, bloody mess when killed.

• Scourge: Charge headlong into the fray as Amon summons his Forgeshield, which will soak up incoming damage and fill up a Vengeance Meter. Once you\'ve absorbed the brunt of the incoming hurt, you can return the favor by firing back a Forgewave that consumes Vengeance to deal freezing Cryo damage.

  [/*]

• Onslaughter: Wallop your foes in the face with Amon\'s Forgefist, which dashes to your target to unleash an explosive Rocket Punch. The force of this Incendiary Melee Damage impact will Stagger most enemies, leaving them dazed so you can finish them off with a flurry of bullets.

Amon\'s Trait Forgeskill is where things really heat up, as it grants a secondary Action Skill depending on his equipped core Action Skill. Forgeskills have their own cooldown separate from their respective Action Skill, adding an extra layer of complexity to Amon\'s damage output as you master his cooldown rotations during battle. Here are Amon\'s Forgeskills, all of which can be transformed by the Capstone abilities at the end of his skill trees:

• Double-Edge (Crucible Action Skill equipped): Throw a twinned Forgeaxe, dealing Cryo Damage to enemies it passes through and returning to Amon, dealing Incendiary Melee Damage on the way back.

  [/*]

• Firewall (Scourge Action Skill equipped): Deploy a Firewall that absorbs enemy projectiles, and grants friendly projectiles that pass through it increased damage and velocity. Absorbed damage is converted into Vengeance if Scourge is active, and enemies near Firewall get burned with Incendiary damage over time.

  [/*]

• Molten Slam (Onslaughter Action Skill equipped): Slam a Molten Forgehammer into the ground, dealing Incendiary damage to enemies in a large area.

If you haven\'t seen them already, make sure to peruse the [u]Vex Vault Hunter[/u] and [u]Rafa Vault Hunter[/u] pages with all of their Action Skill and skill tree information, then keep your eyes peeled for the Harlowe Vault Hunter pages in the coming weeks.

Borderlands 4 is now available for pre-purchase! We\'re so excited that you\'ll all be crash-landing on Kairos soon; stay tuned for more reveals ahead of launch!
