Scourge Class[edit | edit source]
The Scourge can become a master of many roles: tank, poisonous controller, stealth enabler, or all-out war machine. They have an innate affinity for Shotguns, though the Class works just fine without one.
A stealth-aligned playstyle can silently take down Guards with poisons, clean up their corpses, bypass Security devices, and make the squad harder to detect.
For more combat-oriented missions, Scourges have the strongest suite of damage mitigation in the game with increases to Armor, direct healing, area of effect stuns, mind control, and more.
Many of the Scourge's best Talents cannot affect non-Drones, notably those that switch allegiances or deal damage over time, which is the biggest notable weakness of the class.
