Tips for playing as The Forge.
The Jack benefits from planning and forethought, take some time to talk to your fellow players to decide which extra augments they would benefit from.
You may think the forge is a supportive kind of Jack and they do have supportive passives but the Forge can apply a lot of conditions. The Forge's 4th ability for example is a huge burst of conditions so you could use it at the start of a battle to soften up a lot of enemies.
Not only does the forge boost your weapon users but The Forge is a lot of fun when bolstering a party of non-weapon focussed Jacks to give everyone a bit of extra weapon options and survivability.
