Anointments

List of all the Anointments with their effects

about this guide

Since I just wanted to have all the Anointments in one place I made a list for myself and also went to test some of the effects, as I hard a hard time finding information on how some of them worked and wanted to simply share this list as well as my findings.

That being said for the most part it is mainly just a list of the descriptions as they are depicted ingame, so if you want a more accurate representation I can highly recommend looking them up on the BL3 Wiki.
Anointments on the Wiki[borderlands.fandom.com]
Terror Anointments on the WIki[borderlands.fandom.com]

The damage number values are taken from Level 72 Mayhem 10 Gear (if applicable).

As this is my first time writing a guide I hope you will forgive me for potentially weird formatting, I will work on it (and also possibly expand on the effects after doing some more research / testing) but for now this is just a simple list for convenience.

I hope it will be useful to you.
Have a nice day.
