Scourge - Zerg Support
Note: Please note that builds will default to plain icons, these may not be as accurate. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Overview
Zerg Scourge is a spin on the popular support build run by many open world commanders. Its focus is both on supporting the zerg through downstate control and barrier while having enough power to actually tag groups before they die.
While supports are not typically required in a zerg, having a handful to cover for the common spike damage that can come with upscaled bosses can smooth out a run.
Editor's Note - This build is not meant for solo play at all and will be rather useless without support from allies. Avoid using this for roaming / solo farming.
