2K today revealed the brand new Skill Trees for Vault Hunters Amara and FL4K that will be available as part of the new Designer’s Cut add-on for Borderlands 3, coming November 10th.
Amara’s new Phaseflare Action Skill summons a giant, controllable orb of elemental destruction that lets her bowl a bloody path through the opposition. Meanwhile, her Enlightened Force Skill Tree lets her freeze enemies using Cryo elemental effects, rounding out her toolkit of natural elements. The passive abilities in the Enlightened Force tree help her maximize elemental damage and slow enemies down so they have no hope of outrunning her Phaseflare.
FL4K gains some reliable crowd control with their new Gravity Snare Action Skill. This long-lasting skill periodically tosses nearby enemies into the air, interrupting their attacks before painfully slamming them back to the ground. The passive abilities in the Trapper Skill Tree give FL4K and their pet huge survivability increases via shield bonuses, as well as added damage through increased critical hit effects.
For a detailed breakdown of Amara and FL4K’s new Skill Trees, as well as behind-the-scenes insights from the developers who created them, check out this blog.
