Choosing the right Vault Hunter in Borderlands 4 will affect how you play the game. Each character has unique abilities and action skills, so the best choice depends on whether you like controlling minions, charging into fights, using explosives, or dealing elemental damage. Here’s a clear guide to help you decide.
Main Vault Hunters in Borderlands 4
1. Vex – The Siren
Vex is designed for players who prefer a distance play style. This elusive character is able to control the battlefield by summoning minions. They can either fight enemies while Vex powers up, or Vex can create clones using her Dead Ringer skill. These clones can either attack opponents or distract them.
Vex can deal major damage while using a specially designed offhand, Eldritch Blast, by using the Incarnate skill, which allows her to concentrate her energy fully. The skill Phase Familiar allows Vex to aquire a single unit to control instead of allocating a full squad of minions.
2. Amon – The Forgeknight
Amon can charge into enemies with his Onslaugter skill, dealing massive damage while gaining shields and increased speed. With the Scourge skill, Amon can block incoming enemy fire using a shield and convert their attack energy into a powerful counter.
Crucible allows Amon to call upon long-range attacks in the form of summoned elemental axes. Amon is a great fit for players who enjoy a more aggressive and tank-playstyle, looking to deal damage to enemies while supporting their team.
3. Rafa – The Exo-Soldier
Rafa is a character who excels in fast combat and the use of multiple weapons at once. The Apophis Lance that he wields allows for dual blasting of the cannon for high explosive elemental damage.
Peacemaker Cannons follow your movements and can then be enhanced to spit out either missiles or grenades as well as targeting the enemies automatically.
Arc-Knives give an option to have a fight with blades that are electrified and thus deliver the shock and status damage. Rafa is compatible if you are one of those who like to mix up the speedy melee with the explosive ranged attacks.
4. Harlowe – The Gravitar
Harlowe is all about elemental damage and enemy control. The CHROMA Accelerator that she has, opens up energy pockets that carry Cryo and Radiation damage. Zero-Point immures the foe into Stasis, enabling you to slam them for added damage and provide support to your fellows at the same time.
Flux Generator puts up a dome that permanently deals Cryo damage and offers an overshield for you and your party. Harlowe is ideal if your strategy is to dominate the fight with the use of elemental effects and at the same time, support your teammates.
Which Vault Hunter Should You Pick?
Opt for Vex if summoning minions or damage focus on your character is your choice. Pick Amon if melee and tough offensive are your preferences.
Select Rafa if you are a fan of speedy combat mixed up with explosives and melee. Select Harlowe if you are an elemental damage and enemy control fan.
The character that works for you is determined by your preferred style of play. Reflect if you want strategy, raw power, fast action or elemental control and then select the Vault Hunter that fits your style.
