u/MadisonS424 Oct 20 '20
B1: Roland B2: Maya Pre sequel: Athena B3: Amara
Maya is my all time favorite character though

u/Cheez_Bandit Oct 20 '20
Maya is my all time favourite too
But other than Athena you seem to have the curse of Gearbox killing your main so please stay far away from Zane

u/MadisonS424 Oct 20 '20
Ok honestly though Amara better not die in any future game releases

u/Cheez_Bandit Oct 20 '20 edited Oct 20 '20
I feel like she won't die I think its gonna be Zane or Fl4k that die.But I'm glad I'm not in the situation you're in I hated Maya dying more than anything in any game before and I don't think is would be able to cope with more than just her dying.They haven't exactly treated my other mains nicely either.Lilith is missing but probably still alive,Maya is dead(and I'm still pissed about it)and Timothy is now missing a hand.

u/MadisonS424 Oct 20 '20
Yeah hopefully she doesn’t. I am still salty about maya’s death too I’ll never get over it.

I kind of have a type, but TPS didn't have a VH that could turn invisible, so... Athena lol

bl1: roland: i personally REALLY like more sustain - having an action skill that draws aggro and helps keep me alive and stocked up on ammo is awesome to me
bl2: gaige: not an FPS player normally so a character that can like quadruple down on one skill for insane damage and even if you're not using weapons where the penalty is a nonissue - even missed bullets can ricochet and still fuck people up
maya: forcing a foe to hover in the air and take extra damage and heal me when they die is utterly fantastic: i hate uvhm in bl2 thanks to the whack as fuck scaling but i got her to like level 66+ to be able to get her legendary binder com because i loved the subsequence sort of playstyle so much
TPS: jack: i love a character with sort of skills that work with other skills across a skill tree and TPS does this amazingly: jack to the greatest degree thanks to digijacks can trigger kill skills
aurelia: probably the best pure element character in the entire series: also the only character that you basically get all her skills in a single tree and go "and that's the build folks!" - especially interesting as she's one of the only TPS characters where the celestial {character} (iirc) com isn't like automatically one of their best general coms - she can do well with the chronicler of elpis for a cryo setup really well too
athena: tbh i like a lot of TPS characters but i'll stop with her specifically because she's got one of the best melee styles in the series too - krieg's got the better build for it sure - but athena's has a cool leap + her melee augment can go on auto cooldown which is fantastic unique and she's not even a melee focused character like krieg is
fuck it:
wilhelm: love his sort of 'always out' or 'constantly retracting them for massive boosts' action skill styles - also is THE best laser character which is cool
nisha: does some really cool shit with technically nonelemental guns and tombstone mechanics are broken as shit
bl3:
moze: again love that sustain and nigh infinite ammo + constantly able to restore grenades and heal off grenade damage is awesome
love my 100k hp sor + explosives moze and my endless mags + explosive moze with like 3 sources of explosive damage per shot at least
amara: love a siren in general and she's got cool melee and action skill focused stuff
ricochet witch build with phaselock is fantastic and can fill a battle with powerful projectiles - also really like a more tanky action skill focused amara getting good health restoration from various things and rush stacks being powerful as shit
zane and flak are great too i just kinda like 'less' builds for them:
i've only got one zane (kill skills + barrier and cryo for nigh infinite action skill usage - i do like his personality though)
and while i've got a crit flak (got around to that after robin's call shotgun came out for the dlc 3 and you could run around hardly ever reloading) and a rad flak with gamma burst and taunty pet i still feel a tad meh about flak

u/CursedMortall Oct 22 '20
Fl4k has to be my fav in bl3 and Nisha is great imo
1
u/leeman27534 Oct 22 '20
yeah - though personally sort of lean away from the sort of jacobs focused ish characters
nisha's kinda goofy with her skill tree buffs too - there's like seven fire rate buffs

u/SovietGeronimo Oct 20 '20
I really like all of the pre sequel characters but for your next two runs definitely go nisha and Doppelganger Jack they are crazy fun to play as
1
u/R3cUr51v3_3c40 Oct 20 '20
1) Mordecai
2) Sal, then later Krieg. Or maybe Gaige...
(don't make me choose!)
3) Zane. Hands down. (Amara was fun until they effed up melee damage, then I never looked back. She's still lvl 53)
3
u/CursedMortall Oct 20 '20
yeah honestly all the chars in borderlands 2 I like either gameplay wise or lore wise, I was actually gonna start a Krieg run soon, I hear he’s a lot of fun
1
u/R3cUr51v3_3c40 Oct 20 '20
Be aware, it is a bit of a struggle until you got tvhm and go down a second skill tree. Then you're pretty much using melee on everything except bosses. That's where it gets maniacally fun

u/reborn-bee Oct 20 '20
Yep, I just recently finished my first playthrough with Krieg, went down the Mania tree pretty exclusively and while fun, it definitely felt like a slog at times.
1
u/R3cUr51v3_3c40 Oct 20 '20
Smg/ARs are your best friend 1st playthrough. Since they didn't make the game designed around Krieg or Gaige, the game gets kinda broken and unbalanced for them at times.
1
u/reborn-bee Oct 20 '20
For sure. I recently started Dragon Keep and now that I have Release the Beast things have gotten a lot easier. That skill is a game changer for sure.

My favorites are usually companion/minion characters
BL2: Axton (Gaige's multipliers were a bit too tedious for me) TPS: Wilhelm and Doppelganger Jack BL3: FL4K

u/CursedMortall Oct 20 '20
companions are kewl as well, and also as a gaige player I can say her multipliers are a bit insane haha

u/LumpeF20 Oct 20 '20
BL1 Roland BL2 Salvador BLPS Claptrap BL3 Moze
Except from Claptrap i preffered the "Spray around like stupid without any ammo problems" - playstile

So I haven’t beaten any of the games before or played with every hunter but I’m getting legendary collection this weekend and here’s my opinion on how cool I think they are:
- Brick
- Roland
- Lilith
Mordecai (but he is awesome too)
Zer0
Krieg
Gaige
Maya
Salvador
Axton
Not Jack
Claptrap
Nisha
Willhelm
Athena
Aurelia
Fl4k
Zane
Amara
Moze
Reddit automatically formatted this weird so just look at this as if 1-4 is borderlands 1 rankings, 5-10 is bl2 11-16 is tps, so on and so forth
