Borderlands 4 Amon Crucible Build: Kompletter Forgedrone-Armee-Leitfaden

Master the ultimate Amon Crucible build in Borderlands 4. Our complete guide covers skills, weapons, gear, and strategies for dominating with your Forgedrone army.

Kurz gesagt

Build-Fokus: Cybernetics tree specializing in Forgedrone summoning and elemental damage Spielstil: Mid-range support with constant ability spam and drone companions Geeignet für: Players who love minion-based gameplay and crowd control Schlüsselstrategie: Spam Forgeskill, Action Skill, and Ordnance to maintain permanent Forgedrone army

Looking for an Amon build that turns you into a one-person army? The Crucible build transforms Amon into a Forgedrone commander who never fights alone. Instead of getting up close and personal with melee combat, this build focuses on overwhelming enemies with your floating weapon companions while you provide ranged support.

After extensively testing this build across different difficulty levels, I can confidently say it’s one of the most satisfying playstyles in Borderlands 4. There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching your axe and sword drones tear through enemies while you coordinate the assault from a safe distance.

Why Choose the Crucible Build?

Unlike Amon’s melee-focused builds, Crucible offers:

• Constant Companionship: Never fight alone with up to 4+ active Forgedrones
• Excellent Survivability: Shield-focused defensive strategy
• Crowd Control Mastery: Perfect for handling multiple enemies
• Ability Spam Gameplay: Low cooldowns mean constant action
• Beginner-Friendly: Forgedrones provide margin for error

Realitätscheck: This isn’t a high-DPS speedrun build. It’s about tactical control and survivability, making it perfect for newer players or those who prefer strategic gameplay.

Combat Strategy & Tips

The Forgedrone Rotation

1. Start Fights: Forgeskill → Immediate Axe Forgedrones
2. Escalate: Action Skill → Prime enemies + Sword Forgedrone
3. Area Control: Ordnance → Hammer Forgedrone + explosions
4. Pflegen: Refresh abilities before Forgedrones expire

Fortgeschrittene Taktiken

Kontrolle der Menschenmenge: Let Forgedrones handle weak enemies while you focus fire on elites Boss-Begegnungen: Stack all Forgedrones then focus on priming and detonating Emergency Situations: Detonations restore shields – use them defensively

Häufige Fehler, die Sie vermeiden sollten

• Don’t let Forgedrones expire – refresh early
• Avoid pure melee range – you’re not a melee build
• Don’t neglect gun damage – Forgedrones supplement, not replace shooting
• Remember to prime before detonating for maximum effect

Build Progression Timeline

Early Game (1-20): Focus on Forgeskill frequency and basic Forgedrones Mid Game (21-35): Add defensive layers and weapon synergies
Late Game (36-50): Complete Forgedrone mastery and specialized tactics

Endgame Viability

This build excels in:

• Mob-Clearing: Forgedrones handle crowds effortlessly
• Boss-Farming: Sustained damage with defensive options
• Group Play: Excellent support role with crowd control
• Solo-Überleben: Never truly alone with your drone army

Abschließende Gedanken

The Crucible build transforms Amon from a berserker into a tactical commander. While it may not have the raw DPS of pure damage builds, the combination of survivability, crowd control, and constant companionship makes it incredibly satisfying to play.

The learning curve is gentle, making it perfect for players new to Amon or those transitioning from other Kammer-Jäger. Once you master the rhythm of ability rotation, you’ll find yourself effortlessly controlling entire battlefields.
