Muster Point (Deploys a shielded dome that increases weapon damage of those inside) Colossus. Ordnance Launcher. High-Explosive Mortar (Fires a high-explosive shell that detonates across a large area). I saw a thread on reddit saying that + weapon damage doesn't effect the blast damage portion of weapons that do 2 types of damage? Can anyone who's tested this confirm? I thought my truth of tarsis with 250% weapon damage should be godly but if this is a fact then it's just meh. Is this working as intended? I mean the damage is on the weapon? Anthem’s best stuff comes in the form of both Masterwork and Legendary ranks. Each one gives a better output of damage and better inscriptions compared to the Epic gear, but they also come with an added bonus effect.

Venom Bomb Melee Build

This is an extremely versatile & powerful build meant for close range engagements utilizing both Venom Bomb for Acid priming and Tempest Strike for close range detonation. Thanks to the Interceptor's no-cooldown melee attacks, this will allow you to shred multiple targets (whether armored or not) with ease. Only downside is that you will be in literal point blank range of your enemies. Utilize your triple jump and dashes to jump in and out of attacks.

Gear Loadout

Gear	Description
Venom Bomb (Assault System)	Used to prime groups with Acid priming before engaging
Tempest Strike (Strike System)	Used to initiate melee attack swoop-in, can be used mid air & canceled
Target Beacon (Support System)	Used to further boost your attack capability while chaining effect to multiple targets

The Venom Bomb and Tempest Strike is a great go-to combo when attempting a Melee assault. Enemies doused in Acid will take extra DoT damage after detonating with Tempest Strike, as well as a DoT damage from your Combo aura. If you are faced with tougher target, throw in a Target Beacon to debuff and chain your enemies for marked-to-kill.

Recommended Components

Components	Description
Blade Inscription	Increases interceptor melee damage.
Amphibious Augment	Increases acid damage, oxygen capacity, and acid resistance.
Strike System Augment	Increases strike system damage.
Interceptor Combo Augment	Increases aura combo pulse rate.

This build focuses on boosting the Melee capabilities and Tempest Strike, while maximizing your Venom Bomb's effect. The Double-Edged Inscription is also a viable choice but will highly effect your survivability when under fire. Try using this Compartment after you have gotten comfortable with jump and dodging.

Hit & Away Melee Build

This build is focuses on quick melee in & out engagements using the Cryo Glaive and Tempest Strike. Although similar, this build focuses more on mobility and survivability. When using this build, try to disengage after a few hits and combos to recover your shields.

Gear Loadout

Gear	Description
Cryo Glaive (Assault System)	Used to freeze & prime up to 5 targets before engaging with Tempest Strike
Tempest Strike (Strike System)	Used to initiate melee attack swoop-in, can be used mid air & canceled
Rally Cry (Support System)	Used to recover status effect from after disengaging from the attack

Use your Cryo Glaive to initiate your attack by freezing several enemies in group before jumping in with your Tempest Strike. If the situation seems dodgy, cancel your Tempest Strike while in the air and take your distance while you regain your balance. After engaging, use your Rally Cry to avoid taking unnecessary damage.

Recommended Components

Anthem Weapon Dmg 3

Components	Description
