Borderlands 3: The Best Vault Hunter For You

one of the most important choices you will make in a boarder lands game is picking your vault hunter we're happy to inform you that we think every vault hunter in Borderlands 3 is a ton of fun and you can't really go wrong with any of them that said they are designed differently around specific play styles in this video we're going to give you an overview of each character so you can pick which vault hunter is right for you let's start with Amara if you liked playing as brick in Borderlands or Krieg in Borderlands 2 you'll most likely enjoy Amara as she's basically the siren equivalent of those two put together though she does come with some support and defensive abilities Amara is almost entirely offense based and at her best when she's in the middle of a fight punching bandits with her fists and crushing soldiers with her elemental arms if you want to be aggressive like all the time then you want to pick Amara each of Omar's three active skills are designed to get her into an opponent space as quickly as possible many of them can be evolved with secondary perks to aid Amara in close quarters combat like keeping her elemental arms out to deflect bullets or extend the reach and power of her melee attack as Amara you're always charging forward as her power attack grows when closer to an enemy so if you pick Amara you'll always want to be surrounded this requires good spatial awareness there's a lot to account for when multiple enemies are hitting you from more than one direction shotguns and close-range pistols are your best friends if you enjoy tossing grenades and sniping enemies from a distance then Amara is not for you Amara is a bit more difficult to use in comparison to her fellow vault hunters as a result of her emphasis on overwhelming her opponent with close quarters elemental damage some late-game enemies and bosses can fly or have sturdy elemental resistances both of which put Amara at a disadvantage you may want to hold off on picking her for your first playthrough if this is your first Borderlands game but if you think guns are silly and you rather just punch every enemy to death then look no further than Amara next up is Zane who is a hit and run character and a grenade stacking maniac with the right digi clone build unlike other vault hunters he can use two skill trees at once however there is no reason to do so in your early playthrough due to the second skill taking the place of grenades Oh glorious grenades part of what makes aim such an effective hit-and-run tactician has to do with his potential to explode everything in the immediate area and then instantly teleport out this power comes from the digi clone the digi clone is one of the same skill trees that allows him to summon a stationary copy of himself Zain can swap places with the Colonna any time and even use the clone to revive from fight for your life state mid tree the clone can be used creatively to bound up a battlefield fallback to the load or simply as a distraction to draw fire as a neces down the tree several abilities begin to vastly increase explosive power such as fractal frags where the clone throws a copy of your grenade there's also duct tape mod where Zane will randomly fire grenade binary system which causes the clone to release a cryo Nova when places are swapped and doppelganger where the clone explodes at the end of the skill timer combining these abilities with any grenade that has an mir v trait which splits into multiple munitions or even better one that splits into multiple sticky shot traps Zane's biggest danger is actually himself it's important to leave an area that's been blanketed with grenades either by leaving the digit clone behind or with prodigious running if you want a completely different same one that posts up behind a barrier and sun's out a drone to flush enemies from cover then his other two skill trees barrier and Sentinel make him into bless of a solo build and more of a support team player you can even pick up and move with his shield but if you're looking for someone a little more hot-headed Mo's is perfect for series newcomers and highly recommended to those with an itchy trigger finger on her own she doesn't have much combat abilities but when you jump into her iron bear mech a world of possibility is available to you the iron bear is only available for a limited time but in that short duration it's well capable of wiping out entire rooms of enemies it starts with three weapons the V 35 grenade launcher the minigun and the railgun but that Arsenal expands by investing in each of Moses three skill trees opening up options to equip other types of firepower like a flamethrower and a rocket volley and each can also be customized the skills that modify their capabilities the iron bear can be used in a variety of strategic ways you can summon it frequently to rain down everlasting hell upon your enemies or you might just keep it as your ace in the hole during boss fights or when a fire fight goes south Hecky can take both approaches it's up to you Moe's can also be useful as a tank conceptually and literally for other players after all the iron bear is a near invincible wall that can easily pull enemy aggro off teammates none of this is to say that Moe's isn't capable outside the MEK in fact she's just as deadly on foot her skill tree has plenty of bonuses that amplify her capabilities such as improved reload speed bonus and sendiri damage and enhanced shield strength many of Moses skills optimize her ability to inflict damage as aggressively as possible while occasionally buffing teammates and even letting them hop aboard the iron bears man to turret as Moe's you are regularly switching between wiping out enemies on foot and devastating them with the iron bear she's a scrappy agile and adaptable character whose most significant strength is stacking up a plethora of damage in a short time and taking the heat off friends in many ways Moe's is essentially a titanfall pilot without the wall running so if that doesn't make you want to play as her then we don't know what does now Moses Lee works great when playing well with others but say you want to play the game solo well in that case you'll want to go with flack every vault hunter is perfectly viable to play with solo but in many ways flack is designed around working by themselves instead of real friends you can make up the difference with one of flax 3 pets not only do their kills count for getting a second chance of you're down but you can eventually invest in a passive skill that lets them straight up revive you real friends who needs them each pet behaves differently and can be swapped around at any time allowing for a lot of experimentation in which pet you prefer the master tree is all about boosting the pets but even if you don't spec in this tree it's important to understand that flax pets are a key part of their rhythm of play and if you aren't using them all the time then you aren't taking full advantage of what flack can do as for flack themselves there's a lot of DNA from previous vault hunters Mordecai and Xero and flax other skill trees fade away lets you turn invisible for a short period and raccattack throws out a group of rax to assault enemies so yeah if you like those characters flak will be very familiar to you and also like those characters Black is best suited for long-range sniping there your skill tree is all about increasing crit damage so if you like playing from a distance using sniper rifles and getting headshots then flak is for you Jacobs guns which are all about bolt-action precision damage are gonna be your best friends black is gonna work best for players that manage their pets along with their own skills and team up on enemies to take them out together they may not be as visually flashy as the other vault hunters but make no mistake in the hands of a skilled player flack can dish out some serious damage my one warning for picking flak is that their pets do tend to walk in front of you during important emotional moments with characters which can be annoying we hope you found all this information helpful in deciding which vault hunter you want to roll with first once you've made your choice why not watch our specific tips and build loadouts for each character which are on the way thanks for watching and we hope you have a great time with your chosen vault hunter
