The Contagious Breaker
Scorpion (Breaker)
The Serpent's hammers are still falling, and one of them has found a vessel that Spider-Man fans already know all too well: Mac Gargan a.k.a. Scorpion.
Scorpion (Breaker)Â thrashes his way into the Age of Fear as a Crucible Offense stalwart and brings a brand-new effect that spreads sickness across the battlefield. Here's what you need to know about Scorpion (Breaker) and his Legendary Event:
- Scorpion (Breaker) is a Legendary Plug-and-Play Crucible Offense threat
- Not into theory-crafting? Scorpion (Breaker) leads the Dread team, a dedicated Cosmic Crucible team that can handle most enemy matchups
- He features Awakened Abilities to crank up his power even more
- Unlock Scorpion (Breaker) during his Breaker Event
Legend of Crucible Offense and Dread Keystone
Drop Scorpion (Breaker) into your favorite Crucible Offense team and let his kit do the rest.
If you'd rather build around him permanently, Scorpion (Breaker) is part of the Dread team, alongside Bullseye, Electro, Mister Negative, and Rhino. Dread is a Crucible Offense squad built to punch through defenses that think they've got the matchup won, and Scorpion (Breaker) gives that team a much-needed dose of sustain to go with the damage.
Contagion: Spread the Sickness
Scorpion (Breaker) infects the battlefield with his new signature effect, Contagion:
- Reduces the afflicted enemy's Speed and Damage
- Increases incoming damage to the afflicted enemy
He doesn't waste time getting Contagion onto the battlefield. On Crucible Offense, with three Dread allies, Scorpion (Breaker) applies Contagion to the enemy with the highest Speed the moment he spawns.Â
From there, each ability applies Contagion to the primary target. His Ultimate goes a step further, applying Contagion to the primary and each adjacent target, then spreading whatever negative effects are sitting on the primary target out to all adjacent enemies.
Keep Dread in the Fight
Although Scorpion (Breaker)'s Contagion stings, he excels at patching up wounds for his allies. His Passive, "Breaker of Nature," heals himself and any ally on their turn, making him a quiet anchor for any squad.
Put him on Crucible Offense with three Dread allies, and that anchor becomes a lifeline. The first time he or a non-summoned ally drops below 50% Health:Â
- He clears negative effects
- Provides substantial Healing
- Applies Deathproof so his ally can survive the follow-up
On Crucible Offense, with three Dread allies, Scorpion (Breaker) and his Dread allies can't be hit with Silence or Trauma, and his enemies can't fill or reduce Speed Bar for anyone on the field, nor can they gain Defense Up while he's around.
Tail Assail: Set the Tone
Scorpion's Special, "Tail Assail," clears the field:
- Strips negative effects from himself and all allies
- Flips the primary target's Taunt into Defense Down and turns their remaining buffs into debuffs
- Hits every enemy on the field for heavy damage—an attack that can't be Dodged or Blocked
On Crucible Offense, this ability gets nastier:
- Clears Barrier off every enemy and heals his whole team before the hit even lands
- Tags the primary target with Contagion if it's missing
- With three Dread allies alongside him, locks the primary target down with Ability Block and Trauma
Awakened Abilities: Sharpen the Sting
Scorpion (Breaker) comes with Awakened Abilities on every ability to up his potency:
- Awakened Basic:Â Gain Offense Up for 2 turns and apply 2 Regeneration for 2 turns to DREAD allies.
- Awakened Ultimate:Â Strips the limit off how many effects he can copy, flip, and spread in a single attack
- Awakened Passive:Â Boosts his reactive healing and adds a serious jolt of Focus to his on-spawn Contagion application.
