Difficulty: Easy

This build was last updated on July 25, 2025 and is up to date for the June 2, 2026 patch.

Overview

An 敏捷 图标敏捷 condition DPS and utility build for Scourge. It provides a good range of boons such as ~15 威能 图标威能, ~60% 保护 图标保护, and 圣盾 图标圣盾 on a low cooldown. It also regularly provides a small amount of barrier, making it a good defensive option.

Its damage is fully ranged, but slow ramping, making it less suited to encounters with short phases where the boss can easily be meleed. In addition, its 敏捷 图标敏捷 application is inconsistent which means its uptime may suffer on encounters featuring high movement, or where players cannot be regularly stacked together.

Scourge's utility options cover a wide variety of situations, so making use of this flexibility will be key to getting the most out of the build.

Skill Bar

Non-SotO Weapons

Players without Secrets of the Obscure cannot run Pistol, therefore they should just leave the second mainhand slot empty, and can take a utility offhand weapon such as Warhorn.

Skill Variants

Utility 巨蛇虹吸 图标巨蛇虹吸 can be swapped out for different utility. As this provides barrier, and therefore 敏捷 图标敏捷, you should take ~10% extra boon duration to make up for the loss.

Never swap out 鲜血力量 图标鲜血力量.

Elite

  • 召唤血肉魔像 图标召唤血肉魔像 for more CC. It's a fairly large DPS loss to bring, but can be helpful in particular on encounters where the boss is unlikely to stand still long enough for all your pulses of 瘟疫化身 图标瘟疫化身 to hit.

Specializations

Trait Variants

  • Use 寄生蔓延 图标寄生蔓延 for self heal sizable DPS loss.
  • You provide a decent amount of 威能 图标威能 already, but you could provide even more by taking 沙砾碾磨 图标沙砾碾磨 for a small DPS loss.

Utility

Usage

Alacrity

Thanks to the trait 沙漠强化 图标沙漠强化, you generate 敏捷 图标敏捷 every time you apply Barrier. Your barrier skills are 黄沙瀑布 图标黄沙瀑布, 沙暴帷幕 图标沙暴帷幕 and 巨蛇虹吸 图标巨蛇虹吸. You also have 沙尘闪耀 图标沙尘闪耀 if you spot any gaps in your uptime.

You will need to have a shade up whenever you apply 敏捷 图标敏捷, as it provides 15% extra boon duration via 黄沙贤者 图标黄沙贤者. Shades only last for 8 seconds, you need to refresh them frequently. If you have any doubts about your ability to maintain a shade, you should take at least 10% extra boon duration for safety.

Be aware that each of these skills applies barrier in a different way:

  • 显形沙影 图标显形沙影 provides barrier to five targets in a 300-unit radius of where you drop your shade.
  • 黄沙瀑布 图标黄沙瀑布 provides barrier to three targets in a 180-unit radius around you and each of your shades.
  • 沙暴帷幕 图标沙暴帷幕 pulses barrier three times to five targets in a 300-unit radius around you, THEN a final pulse to three targets in a 180-unit radius around you and each of your shades.

General Tips

  • Use 沙暴帷幕 图标沙暴帷幕鲜血力量 图标鲜血力量 wherever possible to transfer the self-condis to your target via 传播瘟疫 图标传播瘟疫.
  • Don't let 鲜血力量 图标鲜血力量 reach maximum charges.
  • Try to finish your autoattack chains.
  • If using 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐, use it whenever there are enemies near the main target.
  • Feel free to use 邪恶恩惠 图标邪恶恩惠 or 炫耀之柱 图标炫耀之柱 if life force is over capping, or to support your teammates with cleanses and CC.
  • The cast time on 瘟疫化身 图标瘟疫化身 is pretty long, so it is efficient to "precast" the skill just before the boss becomes vulnerable.
  • On encounters where the boss becomes Exposed Exposed, you can do a huge amount of damage by lining this up with 瘟疫化身 图标瘟疫化身.
    • Ideally you want 瘟疫化身 图标瘟疫化身 to be finishing its 10th pulse as the boss becomes broken, which usually means casting it at the start of the phase, or as soon as you see the defiance bar appears.
  • Changes in attributes such as condi damage can change which condis are transferred first via 传播瘟疫 图标传播瘟疫.

Encounter-specific Tips

Spirit Vale

Vale Guardian

For more information, see our Vale Guardian Guide.

Spirit Woods
  • Abuse the Adrenaline Mushrooms as much as possible.
  • You can use 黄沙膨胀 图标黄沙膨胀 to allow fast traveling for you and your group.
  • 痛苦路径 图标痛苦路径 might be useful if your supports aren't providing 稳固 图标稳固.

For more information, see our Spirit Woods Guide.

Gorseval the Multifarious

For more information, see our Gorseval the Multifarious Guide.

Bandit event
Sabetha the Saboteur
  • 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 is extremely useful against the turrets and adds.
    • If you save it when the minibosses are active, you can immediately use 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 to copy conditions to Sabetha when the minibosses reach 25% health.

For more information, see our Sabetha the Saboteur Guide.

Salvation Pass

Slothasor
  • 邪恶恩惠 图标邪恶恩惠 converts conditions to boons on an extremely low cd - useful for if you get 恐惧 图标恐惧ed.
  • Take advantage of 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 to kill the Slublings. Pay attention to not kill your teammate who is clearing the mushrooms!
  • You can place 腐蚀毒云 图标腐蚀毒云 slightly on the boss and to the center of the room.

For more information, see our Slothasor Guide.

Bandit Trio
  • As a fully ranged class, you are an ideal candidate to throw kegs when Narella spawns.

For more information, see our Bandit Trio Guide.

Matthias Gabrel
  • 邪恶恩惠 图标邪恶恩惠 converts conditions to boons on an extremely low cd.
  • 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 is not needed, so you could take one of the following:
    • You can use 黄沙膨胀 图标黄沙膨胀 to teleport out for poison or corruption.
    • 瘟疫纹章 图标瘟疫纹章 is a stunbreak, but more importantly it can pull a huge number of 中毒 图标中毒 stacks onto you, which you can then transfer to Matthias for extra damage.
    • 鬼灵缚爪 图标鬼灵缚爪 is very handy if you are struggling with cc - if you stand inside the sacrifice's hitbox then the skill will multihit them.
  • Matthias will be moving about constantly, which can make 瘟疫化身 图标瘟疫化身 unreliable. Given the importance of breaking the sacrifice, 召唤血肉魔像 图标召唤血肉魔像 may be the better option.

For more information, see our Matthias Gabrel Guide.

Stronghold of the Faithful

Siege the Stronghold (Escort)

For more information, see our Escort Guide.

Keep Construct

Keep Construct takes extra power damage, so Scourge is very suboptimal here, however:

For more information, see our Keep Construct Guide.

Twisted Castle
  • 痛苦路径 图标痛苦路径 is worth taking to reduce general annoyance from the various White Mantle CCs.

For more information, see our Twisted Castle Guide.

Xera
  • If you are at full health, then barrier will prevent you from being downed while standing on the buttons on the "puzzle towers".
  • 邪恶恩惠 图标邪恶恩惠 converts conditions to boons on an extremely low cd.
  • Use 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 to kill adds and shards.
  • If Xera is not close enough to shards for 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 to hit, then drop a 显形沙影 图标显形沙影 on each one you want to clear and use 沙漠之幕 图标沙漠之幕.
    • In an emergency, you can also 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 off one shard to others once you've build up some conditions with 沙漠之幕 图标沙漠之幕 and other shade abilities.

For more information, see our Xera Guide.

Bastion of the Peninent

Cairn the Indomitable
  • 腐蚀毒云 图标腐蚀毒云 can be positioned such that it hits the boss while blocking (some) projectiles.
  • You could also bring 痛苦路径 图标痛苦路径 to provide some 稳固 图标稳固 to prevent the float from missing a green.

For more information, see our Cairn the Indomitable Guide.

Mursaat Overseer
  • Use 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 to kill the scouts as they move in - make sure they are in range. If you will not be able to kill a scout before it turns into a soldier, hold 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 for when the soldier moves into the group.

For more information, see our Mursaat Overseer Guide.

Samarog
  • Spears can be killed with 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 or by dropping your shades on them.

For more information, see our Samarog Guide.

Deimos
  • You can drop a shade on the hand kiter to provide some barrier if you are worried about them.
  • When returning from split phases, the dark Sauls do not clear conditions so you can immediately use 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 on them to copy conditions to Deimos.
    • If they are taking a long time to die, you can then 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 back off Deimos. This can be particularly useful when the second miniboss splits in four.
  • Otherwise, 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 can be used to kill Prides and Greeds. Be aware that there are a lot of valid targets for epidemic to hit, so you may wish to wait until the Prides are fairly close in the hopes they are prioritised.

For more information, see our Deimos Guide.

Hall of Chains

Soulless Horror
  • Coordinate with the player knocking the Tormented Dead away regarding when they want you to use 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐. Being too early or too late can be a disaster.
  • You can use 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 at the start to kill wurms, but make sure you have it ready for when the first Tormented Dead spawns.
  • If you use 炫耀之柱 图标炫耀之柱 as you cast 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 it will copy 恐惧 图标恐惧 to the Tormented Dead, keeping them away from the group and giving the knocker more time.
  • 腐蚀毒云 图标腐蚀毒云 can be very useful in the challenge mode, as wurms will constantly respawn and their projectile attacks are very painful - as wurms will be constantly dying your life force shouldn't suffer from dropping 不死纹章 图标不死纹章 either.
  • Spam 邪恶恩惠 图标邪恶恩惠 to clear condis from the group.
  • Wall RNG means that the boss may be constantly moved out of 瘟疫化身 图标瘟疫化身. Given that failing the CC is an instant wipe, 召唤血肉魔像 图标召唤血肉魔像 is quite useful here (as long as your knocker doesn't mistake it for a Tormented Dead}}.

For more information, see our Soulless Horror Guide.

River of Souls
  • You won't be able to contribute much damage on the river, so taking Blood Magic might be helpful to pick up anyone who gets downed.

For more information, see our River of Souls Guide.

Statues of Grenth
  • Barrier is handy to prevent damage from taking greens at the Broken King. You can drop your shades on distant players to provide support without endangering yourself.
  • Keep using 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 at the Eater of Souls encounter - the spirit horde hurts more than you'd expect.
  • DO NOT use 重压崩溃 图标重压崩溃, 冲锋陷阵 图标冲锋陷阵, 末日哀嚎 图标末日哀嚎 or 恐惧 图标恐惧 on the eyes, as they will overwrite the 晕眩 图标晕眩 from orb detonations. Basically just avoid all your CC.

For more information, see our Statues of Grenth Guide.

Dhuum
  • You can use 邪恶恩惠 图标邪恶恩惠 at every Greater Death Mark to convert the 折磨 图标折磨.
  • 黄沙膨胀 图标黄沙膨胀 can allow you to break shackles very quickly by teleporting away from the group - you can even try to pick up the mechanic deliberately by staying as close to the middle of Dhuum's hitbox as you can (without ending up in front of him).
    • Before shackles begin appearing at 60%, you can also use 黄沙膨胀 图标黄沙膨胀 to help with bombs - either by using it yourself or providing a portal for the player with the bomb. This will allow the bomb player to greed for DPS by staying on the boss for longer without endangering the group. If you are providing the portal for another player, make sure you quickly take the portal back so you aren't standing next to the bomb when it explodes.
  • If Greater Death Mark is about to happen, you can delay 吞噬黑暗 图标吞噬黑暗 to immediately start stripping boons from Dhuum.

For more information, see our Dhuum Guide.

Largos Assassins

For more information, see our Largos Assassins Guide.

Qadim
  • You can use 炫耀之柱 图标炫耀之柱 to 恐惧 图标恐惧 any lava elementals that get too close to Qadim in the burn phases.
  • 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 is useful not just for clearing elementals, but for dealing with the additional destroyers that spawn in the second phase, and can even be used to epi between the two wyverns once they on adjacent platforms.

For more information, see our Qadim Guide.

The Key of Ahdashim

Cardinal Sabir
  • 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 is useless in the normal mode of this fight, but incredible in the challenge mode for clearing the wisps that spawn on the platform.
  • 腐蚀毒云 图标腐蚀毒云 could be taken to provide some extra safety once wisps start spawning below 40%.
  • While you could bring 召唤血肉地虫 图标召唤血肉地虫 to skip the shockwaves, the DPS gain from retaining your Violent Currents is usually outweighed by missing the extra DPS from 召唤影魔 图标召唤影魔.

For more information, see our Cardinal Sabir Guide.

Cardinal Adina
  • 腐蚀毒云 图标腐蚀毒云 could be used to protect your group from the hands in the split phase.

For more information, see our Cardinal Adina Guide.

Qadim the Peerless
  • 恶疾肆虐 图标恶疾肆虐 could be taken if you are having trouble with the distortions in the final phases.
  • If you don't trust your group to provide 稳固 图标稳固, do it yourself with 痛苦路径 图标痛苦路径

If you are pylon kiting:

  • You will need to take 黄沙膨胀 图标黄沙膨胀 to pick up orbs.
    • The range feels very short when there is magma between you and the drop location - you will probably need to step outside your pylon slightly to ensure your safety, so don't be too slow.
  • As you can't reach Qadim with 痛苦浪潮 图标痛苦浪潮 while at the pylon, you could take offhand focus instead of warhorn to generate some extra life force with 灵魂抓攫 图标灵魂抓攫
  • Make sure to keep a shade on Qadim at all times as your shade abilities won't hit him otherwise.
    • If you do this, be sure to also use 刺骨恶寒 图标刺骨恶寒 once Qadim starts eating pylons, to keep stripping his boons.
  • You have a few options to sustain yourself - what works best will depend upon you and the speed of your group:

For more information, see our Qadim the Peerless Guide.
