Each Vault Hunter has a specific set of skill and playstyle depending on which you can pick one and start playing. But the real question which is the best vault hunter in Borderlands 3? And in this Borderlands 3 Character guide, we will try to find an answer. After playing the game and going through various missions using a different character I can suggest you one all-rounder character with some limitation. This vault hunter is best for starts, from long-range you can take down enemies and summon some allies in the fight also. So let’s begin with Borderlands 3 Best Character Guide.

Borderlands 3 – Best Character to Play

Among Amara, Zane, Moze, and FL4K I found FL4K as the best character to play with. This is because I can use a sniper, turn invisible and summon pets in the right. These are my personal reasons, every character brings a unique playstyle and I am going to explain the high and low points of each Vault Hunter along with y FL4K is the best character in Borderlands 3.

1). FL4K – The Beastmaster

If you are playing Borderlands for the first time then go with FL4K. You will be easily learning all the abilities of FL4K and use them well in the game. The only issue with this character is annoying pets. But they are very helpful during the fight, they can die for you. FL4K can unlock abilities to turn invisible for a short period of time that can help you to evade attacks in tough situations. One of his three pets supports him in the battle, and each one has unique abilities. This adds a ton of flexibility in the game where you are not alone, and you can have some time to strategize your attack.

FL4K Top Skills Focused On High Damage

FL4K Skill three features three sets of skills under Green, Blue, and Orange color. Green one focus on causing more damage while the Blue benefits the pets. Below are the top skills that will help you to make FL4K invincible. Some of the below skills requires you to unlock above skills in the tree I am adding only the important one here.

Fade Away (Green): FL4K can turn invisible and he can fire 3 shots while cloaked, each shot is automatically a Critical Hit. During the state, Health Regeneration and Movement speed are increased.

  • Cloaked Movement Speed: +25%
  • Health Regeneration: +3% of Max Health/sec
  • Cooldown: 45 seconds
  • Skill duration: 15 seconds

Furious Attack (Green): This is a hunter skill, where FL4K get stacks of Furious Attacks after shooting an enemy. Handling and Gun Damage is increased with each stack of Furious Attack.

  • Gun Damage: +2.0 per stack
  • Handling: +4.8% per stack
  • Furious Attack Stacks: 10

With these skills, you can focus more on skills that boost your Critical Hit rate, Fade Away duration and little support to your pet allies. This will give FL4K more power to stay in the battle and takedown tougher enemies easily.

2). Amara – The Siren

Amara is best if you want to use a lot of punching and pushing. She is the one that can land in the middle of a battle and kick out enemies. She is the best close-ranged character who can come face to face against enemies. Her magical abilities give an additional benefit in crowd control. She can summon big punches from the air with a good damage radius. She can also shoot from the sky for a while, but all her attacks are best for enemies in a close range. I keep her in second in the list for certain reasons. If you are a fast-player who does not like to wait then Amara will the best one to begin. Remember movement is the key to survival, camping will kill you.
