Combat


Amon casts black flame incantations that deal Fire damage. Many of his attacks carry the black flame burn, which deals extra damage based on the enemy's health. Most of his black flame moves have strong hyperarmor and are rarely interrupted. His mace deals Strike damage up close. He is neither tanky nor mobile, so upgrades to his health help him last.

"Amon swore fealty to the god-slaying black flame, and so became the first fire monk to turn traitor. Or perhaps it is better said that he fled from the Giants' Flame, out of cowardice."

Upgrades


As a renowned spirit it is strengthened with Ghost Glovewort, which Roderika handles at the Roundtable Hold up to +10.
