Rating & Analysis
Amethyst is evaluated on disruption rather than damage. It is the most meta-dependent of the five gems, with its value swinging on enemy composition. But when it hits, it decides games — so in higher ranks it is often an obligatory meta pick.
Weapon Amethyst nukes Regen-, Shield-, and Heat-based builds at the root. Armor Amethyst universally degrades enemy healing sources. Backpack Amethyst constantly sheds Poison/Cold/Heat providing huge defensive uplift against Reaper and Ranger.
