## Arsenal

### Weapons

Scorch is equipped with a SMG and a shotgun. The SL-C is fitting for Scorch, as it is a high firing, close range weapon. Its fire rate and versatility makes up for the other flaws of this weapon, suiting Scorch's arsenal incredibly well.

The Arbitrator is the brutal two-shot shotgun that can be frightening when used by Scorch. Also a close combat weapon, the Arbitrator and instantly put down enemies that are too close to Scorch. Scorch's secondary weapon is the A3 Salvo, a burst-fire pistol that can be the most damaging if every bullet hits, along with it having the best handling at base tier and the largest ammo capacity.

### Abilities

Scorch can light enemies on fire, dealing increased damage and damage overtime, and it can be used as a defense to scare off enemies or for offense to shred through the enemy team. Because of Scorch's immunity to fire, she can walk through it without taking any damage, which pairs well with her Incendiary Grenade and allows her to make unique strategies. Her ability does not have a major flaw, but one common problem you may find while using it is that you may be targeted by more than one or two enemies, since they will rather deal with you first due to how lethal fire can be. In fact, it is completely possible to take an entire team down just by using it if they spread their damage into your teammates too.

### Gadgets

Scorch carries an Incendiary Grenade and the EMP grenade. The Incendiary Grenade can be used to restrict certain paths for the enemy team. It can be upgraded to increase the radius and the fire's duration. Due to Scorch's passive ability previously mentioned, she can walk through it without taking damage. The EMP Grenade can be upgraded to increase the duration of its effect and to give you one extra, allowing you to disable enemy options for a long period, pairing well with her ability, since they will have no other option but their weapons to defend themselves.

### Perks

Scorch is built to survive the most toughest hits she can take while also maintain a run-and-gun playstyle.

## Strategy

Scorch is meant to be a fearful Rogue to play as or fight against. Her loadout is built to adapt in defensive environments and offensive environments. She can tank damage left and right, but only in situations in her favor. Too much damage will still stop her and she cannot always simply run head first into danger, expecting to tear through whatever she can without consequence.

### Notable Strengths

* Able to deliver devastating damage;
* Can tank most attacks;
* Versatile for both defense and offense.

### Notable Weaknesses

* May usually be a target;
* Passive ability is too situational;
* Snipers, intel, & EMP can be troublesome.

## Trivia

* Scorch could possibly suffer from an impulse control disorder, such as pyromania, because of her fascination and obsession with fire to obtain pleasure and euphoria. According to studies, most pyromaniacs usually experience tension and/or an emotional buildup before the act of lighting fire itself, which could be from when she lost one of her arms in combat and was discharged from the Army, mentioned in her in-game description.
