Borderlands 3 is opening doors with its new set of Vault Hunter skill trees coming later this year. Although the exact details remain up in the air, fans already know that FL4K is getting a new crowd control, shield-focused tree called the Trapper. In it, FL4K gets a new Hyperion Loaderbot pet, as well as a new action skill called Gravity Snare.
There’s a lot of options for the other characters, whether that’s something focused on elements for Moze or something with flavor for Zane, and it should hopefully lead to a bunch of new character builds for Borderlands 3 players to check out. As such, it’s worth seeing what Amara the Siren could use in a new skill tree.
Although this new BL3 skill tree is likely to add a new dimension to every character, there’s certain trends that probably won’t be broken. Just as FL4K gets a new pet, Zane will likely get a new piece of technology, and Moze will likely get new weapons for Iron Bear, Amara is likely to get a new ability with her fists. Thus far, she can slam the ground for AoE damage, create an astral projection of herself dealing damage in a row, or grab a foe with a summoned fist, coupled with a few additions like the ability to phaselock nearby enemies.
As such, it would seem that her action skill has all the based really covered, but there’s at least one possibility that comes to mind, which would be really interesting to see in Borderlands 3: her 6 fists in actual combat. Similar to how Moze gets a new UI with Iron Bear, a “beatdown” action skill could give players control of her six arms, allowing her to run around and beat down enemies with a significant flurry of blows. It could be very much akin to Brick’s ability in Borderlands 1, but perhaps slightly improved. Given that things like Zane’s digi-clone are likely inspired by other characters, it’s not much of a stretch.
Yet it’s Amara’s skill trees that have the most potential. Her Brawl skill tree focuses on close combat and melee, while her Mystical Assault is more of a general DPS tree. Her Fist of the Elements tree makes her the best elementalist in Borderlands 3, but while there are plenty of survivability and tank skills found in her tree, she does have more of a straightforward focus: hit and hit hard.
As such, it would be pointless to even try to speculate as to what her new skill tree could do, simply because there are so many things it could do. More DPS and elemental skills would remain welcome, bettering what Amara is already best at. It could be a specialized tree that gives Amara something her other skills don’t: long distance abilities. Or it could be something focused on enhancing and buffing explosives, or it could be something more unpredictable inspired by Krieg the Psycho, or it could be something out of the blue her extra arms wielding guns, making her more like Borderlands 2‘s Gunzerker.
In short, Amara mains are likely happy with her Borderlands 3 builds as it is, yet there’s always room for more. And more for Amara means raising the ceiling on an already high roof.
Borderlands 3 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are in development.
