Usage & Description

Notes

• On Mayhem 10, FL4K's Take This! skill will cause the enemies that damage FL4K's pet to take massive damage. This is because FL4K's pet get a 17x times bonus to their damage on Mayhem 10, which is transferred to the pet's shield. When combined with the Red Fang class mod and/or the "After Using Attack Command, consume all Terror and FL4K's pet gains 200% bonus fire damage for a short time" terror anointment, FL4K's pet can quickly clear out groups of enemies.

Trivia

• The name and flavor text are a reference to the novel The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
