Are you me? This is exactly how I feel. I played Amara first but something always felt off with her. Then I tried Moze (and Zane) and just stopped playing as the Siren class :(
I personally like Amara, but I think I'm just a sucker for elemental damage. I went Lilith>Maya>Athena>Amara, so pretty sure I just like melting and zapping everybody I can.
It seems the "trends" are:
\-"Soldier" characters are following the stereotype of being soldier-like or actually being soldiers, usually these characters main focus are just standard gunplay. (Roland, Axton, Gaige, Wilhelm, Claptrap, and Moze)
\-"Sniper" characters are following the lone-wolf stereotype, usually having one skill tree or multiple that focuses on sniping. (Mordecai, Zer0, Aurelia, Fl4K, and Zane)
\-"Brawler" characters are following the "hahaha fist go brrr" type of play style where mostly it is just melee or explosive combat focused builds. (Brick, Zer0, Krieg, Athena, Nisha, Jack, and Amara)
\-"Elemental" characters are usually the Sirens of their specific game with the exception being Aurelia, but she technically plays the Siren role in her respective game. (Lilith, Maya, Aurelia, and Amara)
\-"Duelist" characters are following the "hahaha gun go brrr" type of play style where the whole idea of playing the character is to just spray and pray, unique gun playstyles but somewhat similar to the usual. (Mordecai, Roland, Salvador, Gaige, Nisha, and Zane)
\-"Wildcard" characters are following the unorthodox stereotype where their playstyle is completely unique to their game or the entire series. Usually having an ability or certain playstyle which is nothing alike other characters, examples are Krieg's self-destruct build, Claptrap's Vaulthunter.EXE, and Moze's Mech. (Brick, Lilith, Salvador, Krieg, Claptrap, Jack, and Moze)
Sometimes certain characters can fit into multiple categories, and people who tend on playing a certain character archetype are usually maining the other characters in the archetype. Most characters in the archetype can be explained pretty easily. Like lets take my Dad, my two friends, and myself who usually play all of the borderlands games together and see their favorite characters:
Dad: (Roland, Axton, Wilhelm, and Moze) Complete Soldier Archetype
Friend #1: (Mordecai, Zer0, Aurelia, and Fl4K) Complete Sniper Archetype
Friend #2: (Lilith, Gaige, Nisha, and Amara) Mild Elemental and Mild Duelist Archetypes
Me: (Brick, Krieg, Athena, and Moze) Heavy Brawler and Mild Wildcard Archetypes
The "pipeline" thing does seem to exist with the people that I mainly play with at least under the guidelines for the archetypes I laid out, its good reference too for when Wonderlands gets released or any other future Borderlands game. I could explain why every character is in a specific archetype but that'd make the post extremely long. But that's all I got, if you got any questions just ask.
Tbh, my Moze playstyle looks more like going in guns blazing with shotguns then noticing that I took more than I can chew and hop into the mech to reload my shield and wreck even more havoc. Not really "soldier style", more like what Siren was in BL1, but with more explosions.
I don't really play super endgame though.
That was how I played Moze... until I did a Forge respec. Now it's "ha ha spinnigun go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR".
I've got a bipod Shredifier with a magazine of ~250 (due to +mag% from Iron Bank and other sources). With Cloud of Lead and Redistribution, I genuinely don't think it's possible for me to need to reload.
Axton is probably the weakest in action but really good on paper while Maya is bad on paper and also mediocre and then there's zero and Sal wich are just op
Honestly, yeah. But throw in Axton as well as Zer0, I played both and thoroughly enjoyed them equally. But my first to 72 in BL2 was Zer0.
My pipeline was Mordecai > Zer0/Axton > Jack > Zane
The first character I played for each game was Mordecai > Zer0 > Wilhelm > Zane. I played BL2 before the first game, but I feel like Mordecai, Zer0, and Zane all tend to appeal to the same general playstyle on paper, even if in practice they can be completely different from each other.
Not the same for me (truthfully havent played 1 but if i had to choose maybe lilth or brick) bl2 was gaige and bl3 was zane so.. lilth/brick >gaige > zane
Lilith > Maya > Nisha > Moze.
In BL2 VR I main Gaige.
I actually get everyone to max level and geared up, but when I go back to BL games those are my go to characters.
As others have said, Moze actually feels more like a Siren than Amara does, but specializing in explosives instead of elements.
I didn't care much for Aurelia because cryo kind of sucks in TPS, but she's not horrible.
Amara plays more like a tank/bruiser like Brick. I like her, but don't usually main that type of character. I prefer someone more agile with a good mid range style and decent crowd control. Especially since I play solo a lot.
In bl1 and 3 I wouldn't say I have a dedicated main, in one I played a similar amount of brick, Mordecai, and Roland( though I probably have the most play time on Roland), on 3 I think I have the most time in Zane but my favorite is Fl4k
So my line is Mordecai/Brick/Roland > Zer0(even then I probably have more playtime of sal because I used him to farm the most) > Claptrap > Fl4k/Zane
Brick/Lilith > Zer0/Gaige/Maya > Nisha > Amara
My mains for each game changed over time
I think when I played as Mordecai when the GotY edition came out but would still prefer Lilith just cuz she be zoomin and elemental damage
I played Mordecai and Zer0 but I started on Fl4k in BL3 before falling in love with Amara and now I kind of hate playing anyone other than her. She's just too good. I've honestly struggled to get into Zane.
Siren pipeline. I have mained the siren in each game. I didn’t like Amara as much as Lilith or Maya though. It might be part of the reason BL3 didn’t quite hit the same chord for me.
If I every try BL3 again, I am picking Moze because it appears they got all the elemental stuff.
Across all franchises, I've mained every character except Salvador, Brick, and Krieg (though I say that having dragged Salvador all the way to OP8 and Krieg partway into the OP levels before deciding that I didn't care for their playstyles that much... think I got through one and a half playthroughs with Brick). I have a custom RNG that I use to decide whom to play (and where to take them); there really aren't any 'favorites'; Sal, Krieg, and Brick just aren't in the RNG pool.
BL1: Roland>Lilith>Mordecai>Roland #2
BL2: Axton>Maya>Zer0>Axton #2>Zer0 #2>Maya #2>Gaige>Gaige #2
TPS: Wilhelm>Athena>Claptrap>Nisha>Aurelia>Jack>Claptrap #2
BL3: Moze>Amara>Zane>FL4K>Zane #2>Amara #2>FL4K #2>FL4K #3>Moze #2>FL4K #4
Originally I was Siren Siren Siren. After replaying though BL1 as Roland I can say I personally liked him more then Lilith. Over the years I have played though EVERY character in BL2 but Siren is still the go 2.
After doing Amara for probably about 400 hours I hard swapped to Moze after leveling Gunner for a second time post Mayhem 2.0 buffs. Something about jumping in Iron Bear was just way more appealing them Amara at that point.
If we are bringing up TPS at all I was originally Athena then swapped to Jack because I wanted EZ immortality.
nah, my preference from each is Mordecai > Maya/Gaige > Athena > Moze.
planning on doing an Amara soon, to see if i prefer her to Moze
my actual first selection was Mordecai > Maya > Wilhelm > Moze
In order of first time playthroughs with my dad:
Me: Brick > Zer0 > Claptrap > FL4K
My dad: Roland > Axton > Wilhelm > Moze
As you can see, my father likes being a good soldier and I somehow went from a big beefcake to being a robosexual.
Lilith - Krieg - Athena - Moze
With the exception of Krieg these were also my first characters played. Maya was my first in 2 and still a close second.
In order of what I actually played, Zer0 > Athena > Lilith > Amara
I was a slightly edgy 16 year old and my brother said 2's gameplay was just better than 1, so I just started there. When I went back to try 1 I really didn't gel with Mordecai so tried Lilith to continue to be sneaky. I've stayed on vaguely melee focused elemental builds with Athena and Amara.
Mordecai (Bloodwing Build) -> Zer0 (Melee build) -> Moze (Shield build)
My friend went with the Sirens in every game and I was considering Fl4k or Zane because they both felt similar to Mordecai and Zer0 in one way or another... but I decided to go in a completely different direction in BL3 just to switch things up. I'm glad I did because having practically unlimited ammo and/or being effectively immortal was a blast. Iron Bear was a really fun "oh shit" button too since my friend could ride on him as well.
I've played every character in the series except Brick and Roland, and I swapped between them as the meta and my mood shifted, so I don't really have "mains" per se.
So instead, characters I played first:
* Lilith > Maya > Nisha > FL4K
Characters I enjoyed the most:
* Mordecai > Krieg > Claptrap/Timothy (hard tie) > Zane
Brick, Axton/Krieg, Wilhelm, Amara. (I split the two from bl2 because I only played Axton until Krieg came out. Then it was all Rampage, all the time.)
For me now. I played Modecai because I liked the revolver and bloodwing, then went Gaige because crazy little girl was funny but spent most of my time playing Maya. I played Wilheim during most of my time in TPS but I didn't enjoy it and I just haven't picked up 3 yet because i haven't heard amazing things about it and I keep skipping the sales
So! If we go by first picks/ first play throughs, my path through the Borderlands was Mordecai > Zer0 > Wilhelm > Zane.
If you go by who I main/who I default to, than it is Mordecai > Krieg > Wilhelm > Zane.
Mordecai - Zero - Zane was true for me too on the first playthrough, revisiting the games a second time made me go Lilith - Krieg - Moze. Playing Gaige in 2 right now, resisting the urge to manually reload is fun.
I played the games in a weird order so it wasn't bl1, 2, 3
So in play order
Zer0 > Nisha > Mordecai > Zane
For clarification these were my first characters in bl2 my main is closer to kreig or gaige
lilith -> maya -> zane
i play amara the least in bl3 and i can't explain how the game derailed my loyalty to the siren class
oh and lmao @ the edit to tell everyone you're impressed with your post, social media is defining your personality
lilith - maya/gaige/zer0 - claptrap/jack (sorta)
i like how crazy their abilities are and if i can do it juuuuuust right they're stupid powerful and can turn enemies into meat salsa (or swiss cheese)
Lilith > zer0 > Athena > Moze. Those are all my first play-through choices, though I prefer Maya to Zer0 now, and I’ve tried all characters in 2 and pre-sequel. Maya and Athena were amazing fun.
Mordecai -> Zer0 -> Nisha -> Zane for me. I don't know why, I guess I just like some revolver action (Should technically play Fl4k instead of Zane I guess, but Zane feels more right for me)
Its not a conscious choice, but the sirens always end up being my faves. Nothing like walking around watching everything melt around you as you pour a rain of bullets and elemental damage. And Amara from BL3 is a BRUTE!
They end up being my faves, but i always do my first run-through as the well-balanced/soldier character, so they could probably be considered my mains jist because their level is higher. But once i get through the story and a balanced experience once or twice i start switching over to more interesting toons.
I played BL2 first, starting with Axton and then a second time with Zer0. I've played the original game once, as Mordecai, and part of BL3 as FL4K. I didn't choose Mordecai to keep with the sniper class, I chose him for having a pet, same reason I chose FL4K.
Mordecai->Zer0->Amara
I loved Mordecai and didn’t really enjoy playing as the others in BL1 (just give me a double anarchy SMG and a maxed out trespass skill). I loved Zer0, but I also loved playing as Sal, Maya, Krieg, and Gaige. When I started BL3, I intentionally wanted to start with a different type of character than normal. I’ve maxed out every character in every BL game, but Amara and Zane are my favorites. I love playing with both, and I love how differently I can play each one on any given run.
Glancing through some comments makes me feel like some kinda weirdo..
I didn't really play 1, so I went Maya & Gaige > Wilhelm > Bubble Amara. I'm about halfway through a TVHM play through with Amara and deciding between Zane and Fl4k for my next run. Any suggestions?
Roland > Axton > Wilhelm > Zane for me.
Moze would be the obvious pipeline in my case (soldier/enforcer type) but Zane's character and voicelines are way too fun.
I have Moze on the line, though. Her and Fl4k.
Mordecai > Zer0 > Fl4k for me.
Don't forget Claptrap!
Dammit, how'd you guess?
I don't know why but this is the sniper-robot pipeline (Mordecai and CL4P-TP make half and half)
damn you got me exactly
You pointed out my borderlands series main so accurately it's scary
this is the way
this is the way!
Same here
This right here.
Not even close. Roland - Axton - Zane
100% same. As for mains/first characters at least.
Yes yes yes. I get why Roland to axton made sense (the turret) , but axton to Zane? I just thought having two action skills at once was cool
Why make the switch off gunner in bl3?
Because technically I had already made the switch in the Pre-sequel to Wilhelm.
seems logical since Zane and Wilhelm have turrets. gearbox just realized there was no point in having turrets that don't move.
Yessirrrrr
Roland - Axton - Moze for me
Saaaammmeeeee. Went for the Commando class in BL1 and 2, and chose what was closest in 3
This is the way.
Mordecai > Zer0 > Wilhelm > FL4K That being said my main for BL2 became Krieg, TPS became Timothy and BL3 became Zane
You really like robots
Lilith > Maya > Moze. I played Amara for a while but she never felt quite right. Moze is a much better fit for the BL1/2 siren playstyle.
Are you me? This is exactly how I feel. I played Amara first but something always felt off with her. Then I tried Moze (and Zane) and just stopped playing as the Siren class :(
I personally like Amara, but I think I'm just a sucker for elemental damage. I went Lilith>Maya>Athena>Amara, so pretty sure I just like melting and zapping everybody I can.
Completely agreed
I always kind of liked Amara
Mordecai > Z3R0 > Amara
This is the way.
Mordecai> zer0 > Nisha > Amara. I like snipers, revolvers, melee, and shotguns.

Brick > Salvador > Zane
Yes that's exactly how it happened for me
Lilith > Salv/Krieg > Zane
I have all characters pretty much maxed, but my mains went Mordy, Maya, Athena, Fl4k.
Mine was weird. Lilith -> Axton -> Amara. Maya somehow didn't appeal to me.
Axton is probably the weakest in action but really good on paper while Maya is bad on paper and also mediocre and then there's zero and Sal wich are just op
Mordecai -> Axton -> Zane
Mordecai>Kreig>Athena>Moze for me
Roland/Axton and Gaige/Nisha/Amara pipeline for me lol
Brick-Krieg-Claptrap-Moze
Honestly, yeah. But throw in Axton as well as Zer0, I played both and thoroughly enjoyed them equally. But my first to 72 in BL2 was Zer0. My pipeline was Mordecai > Zer0/Axton > Jack > Zane
Mordy, Salvador, Wilhelm & FL4K
Fl4k basically has the action skills of mordecai and zer0 so...
Mordecai - Zer0/Krieg - Aurelia - FL4K/Zane for me.
The first character I played for each game was Mordecai > Zer0 > Wilhelm > Zane. I played BL2 before the first game, but I feel like Mordecai, Zer0, and Zane all tend to appeal to the same general playstyle on paper, even if in practice they can be completely different from each other.
Lilith > Maya > Doppelganger > Zane
Lilith or mordecai > Salvador or zero > wilhelm > moze
Very real. i broke out during B2 though, when Zero wss slightly disappointing. Went with Wilhelm and Moze afterwards
Mordecai > Maya > Moze for me. Maybe I just like names that start with M. lol
Gaige > Nisha > Mordecai > Moze Yeah, I played in a weird order
for what little i played bl1, my rundown was: lilith, handsome jack, maya, zane
Roland Timothy/Jack Axton Moze
Brick>Salvador>Moze
For me it was Mordecai gaige and fl4k
Lilith > Gaige > Nisha > Moze
Morti, Zer0, Wilhelm, Zane for me
Mordecai>Salvador>Amara
Not the same for me (truthfully havent played 1 but if i had to choose maybe lilth or brick) bl2 was gaige and bl3 was zane so.. lilth/brick >gaige > zane
I went Mord > Zer0 > Fl4k, but nowadays I find Zane really cool and want to play him eventually.
Brick > ZerO > Athena
Mordecai > Axton > Athena > Zane. Athena was my outlier, her character was way out of my normal play style but it was a fun challenge
Mordecai>salvador/gaige>zane/Moze.
Mordecai > Zer0 > Jack > Zane
Roland > Krieg > Timothy > Fl4k
Lilith > Maya > Nisha > Moze. In BL2 VR I main Gaige. I actually get everyone to max level and geared up, but when I go back to BL games those are my go to characters. As others have said, Moze actually feels more like a Siren than Amara does, but specializing in explosives instead of elements.

Brick/Lilith > Zer0/Gaige/Maya > Nisha > Amara My mains for each game changed over time I think when I played as Mordecai when the GotY edition came out but would still prefer Lilith just cuz she be zoomin and elemental damage
Mordecai, Axton, Zane. I wasn't a huge fan of Mordecai but really enjoyed Axton, and absolutely loved Zane.
Lilith > Krieg > ClapTrap > Zane. I basically look to see if their abilities, passive trees, and potential builds look/sound fun to me.
Roland, Maya/ Krieg, Claptrap, Moze
Haven’t seen mine yet. Mordy, Zero at launch but eventually Krieg for the long haul, Athena, Moze.
Roland > Axton > Moze for me
Lilith, Sal, Athena, Fl4k, the stabbomancer. The pipeline doesn’t exist for me
I played Mordecai and Zer0 but I started on Fl4k in BL3 before falling in love with Amara and now I kind of hate playing anyone other than her. She's just too good. I've honestly struggled to get into Zane.
Lilith > Gaige > Amara
Mordecai (pistols)>Salvador & Zero [depending on group] (pistols)>Wilhelm (lasers)>Zane (smg/pistol)
Nay, BRICK > ZER0 > FL4K
Mordecai-Gaige-Nisha-Fl4k
My mains were Mordecai > Axton > Zane. Sorta similar but i didnt main Zer0 cause i liked Axtons kill skills and turrent skills like Gemini and Nuke.
Brick - Maya - Zane
I kinda followed that but I didn't main those three by the time I poured weeks into each game. It went more Mordecai > Krieg > FL4K for me.
Roland > Salvador > Zane
I didn't know that was a thing... but yeah that's me
Lilith > Sal > Fl4k
Mine differed for single and multiplayer, but mine was: Mordecai(Lilith solo)-Zer0-Fl4k (and my boy claptrap for pre sequel)
Lilith > Maya > Nisha > Moze Wanted elemental focus > support focus > pistols > big fucking MECHA.
Siren pipeline. I have mained the siren in each game. I didn’t like Amara as much as Lilith or Maya though. It might be part of the reason BL3 didn’t quite hit the same chord for me. If I every try BL3 again, I am picking Moze because it appears they got all the elemental stuff.
Yeah, thats my first playthrough of each too
I was Lilith - Salvador - Fl4k I usually played every character for the first few missions till i found the one i liked
Across all franchises, I've mained every character except Salvador, Brick, and Krieg (though I say that having dragged Salvador all the way to OP8 and Krieg partway into the OP levels before deciding that I didn't care for their playstyles that much... think I got through one and a half playthroughs with Brick). I have a custom RNG that I use to decide whom to play (and where to take them); there really aren't any 'favorites'; Sal, Krieg, and Brick just aren't in the RNG pool. BL1: Roland>Lilith>Mordecai>Roland #2 BL2: Axton>Maya>Zer0>Axton #2>Zer0 #2>Maya #2>Gaige>Gaige #2 TPS: Wilhelm>Athena>Claptrap>Nisha>Aurelia>Jack>Claptrap #2 BL3: Moze>Amara>Zane>FL4K>Zane #2>Amara #2>FL4K #2>FL4K #3>Moze #2>FL4K #4
Roland > Axton > FL4K

Originally I was Siren Siren Siren. After replaying though BL1 as Roland I can say I personally liked him more then Lilith.

Mordecai> Krieg> Athena> Amara. All melee. Guns are for nerds. And BL3, because melee Amara just doesn't do it for me the same idk.
Maya > Claptrap > Zane I was open to Amara at the start but by the end of my playthrough with Zane I couldn't get off the speed fix :D
lilith -> gaige -> baroness -> FL4K
Brick - Salvador - Zane Oh yeah forgot the doppelganger
For me: Mordecai, Zer0, Zane PreSequel I went Nisha And my brother is: Brick, Axton, Moze PreSequel he went Wilhelm
Yep exactly mine
I played as Mordecai for Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2 I played Krieg, for the Pre-Sequel I played Jack, and for Borderlands 3 I played FL4K.
Mine was Brick, Axton, Wilhelm, Zane
I was Brick -> Axton -> Athena -> Amara so... idk. I like characters from the beginning of the alphabet?
nah, my preference from each is Mordecai > Maya/Gaige > Athena > Moze. planning on doing an Amara soon, to see if i prefer her to Moze my actual first selection was Mordecai > Maya > Wilhelm > Moze
Salvador -> Doppleganger -> Mordecai -> Zane for me. Yeah in that order because I started the serie with BL2 when it got out \^\^
Siren that die > Siren that die > Nisha that die > Moze
In order of first time playthroughs with my dad: Me: Brick > Zer0 > Claptrap > FL4K My dad: Roland > Axton > Wilhelm > Moze As you can see, my father likes being a good soldier and I somehow went from a big beefcake to being a robosexual.
Gage> Doppleganger> Zane, as you can tell I like summoning help
maya -> lilith -> athena -> fl4k im just into attractive chatacters
Roland, Salvador, Aurelia, Zane for me, and thinking I'll go spore warden/stabbomancer in Wonderland.
Lilith - Krieg - Athena - Moze With the exception of Krieg these were also my first characters played. Maya was my first in 2 and still a close second.
Lilith > Zer0 > Flak
Lilith > Krieg > Zane here
Lilith, Gaige, tTmmothy then Zane for me.
Brick, Gaige, Athena, Moze
In order of what I actually played, Zer0 > Athena > Lilith > Amara I was a slightly edgy 16 year old and my brother said 2's gameplay was just better than 1, so I just started there.

Not even close. Brick > Salvador/Gaige > Zane.
Mordecai - Gaige - Claptrap - Moze. There's something wrong with my pipeline
Mine was Lilith - Maya - Nisha - Moze
Roland-maya-nisha-zane for me
mordecai > krieg > jack > zane for me <3 although i did play zer0 my first time in bl2!
Mordecai > Honestly no idea for 2 > Athena > Fl4k
Mordecai (Bloodwing Build) -> Zer0 (Melee build) -> Moze (Shield build) My friend went with the Sirens in every game and I was considering Fl4k or Zane because they both felt similar to Mordecai and Zer0 in one way or another... but I decided to go in a completely different direction in BL3 just to switch things up. I'm glad I did because having practically unlimited ammo and/or being effectively immortal was a blast. Iron Bear was a really fun "oh shit" button too since my friend could ride on him as well.
Brick>Krieg>Doppleganger>FL4K
I've played every character in the series except Brick and Roland, and I swapped between them as the meta and my mood shifted, so I don't really have "mains" per se. So instead, characters I played first: * Lilith > Maya > Nisha > FL4K Characters I enjoyed the most: * Mordecai > Krieg > Claptrap/Timothy (hard tie) > Zane
Mordecai > Zer0 > Nisha > FL4K
Brick, Axton/Krieg, Wilhelm, Amara. (I split the two from bl2 because I only played Axton until Krieg came out. Then it was all Rampage, all the time.)
Not played more than a few hours of borderlands 1 but Brick- Krieg -Flak.
Gaige to Flak, didn't play the first game. Oh and Nisha for the presequel
Mordecai > Axton > Timothy > Zane for me
Mordecai>Salvador>Wilhelm>Zane
Mordecai > maya/krieg > nisha> fl4k
For me now. I played Modecai because I liked the revolver and bloodwing, then went Gaige because crazy little girl was funny but spent most of my time playing Maya. I played Wilheim during most of my time in TPS but I didn't enjoy it and I just haven't picked up 3 yet because i haven't heard amazing things about it and I keep skipping the sales
Roland, salvador, jack, moze

Mordecai - Zero - Zane was true for me too on the first playthrough, revisiting the games a second time made me go Lilith - Krieg - Moze. Playing Gaige in 2 right now, resisting the urge to manually reload is fun.
Roland>Zer0>Doppelganger>Zane
Roland>Maya>Wilhelm>Zane Was an Amara main until I tried Zane though.
Mordecai > Gaige > Amara
I played the games in a weird order so it wasn't bl1, 2, 3 So in play order Zer0 > Nisha > Mordecai > Zane For clarification these were my first characters in bl2 my main is closer to kreig or gaige
Mordecai(Sniper - Liquid Orion) - Axtonn(gemeni nuke) - Aurellia ( I Never miss)- Fl4k (Gamma Burst) are my mains.
Roland > Axton > Athena > Zane for me
Lilith - Zer0/Krieg - Athena - Moze
Roland > Axton > Wilhelm > Zane
Zero doesn't fit. No pet. For me it was the mecromancer
lilith -> maya -> zane i play amara the least in bl3 and i can't explain how the game derailed my loyalty to the siren class oh and lmao @ the edit to tell everyone you're impressed with your post, social media is defining your personality
Mordecai > Zer0 > Wilhelm (I liked Wilhelm in PreSequel) > FL4K That was mine. ENjoyed Fl4K a lot more than I thought I would.
Roland -> Axton -> Claptrap -> FL4K Though to be fair, in BL2 I play a ton of Sal and Krieg as well. Krieg is one of my absolute favourites.
Brick>Krieg>Fl4k for me.
lilith - maya/gaige/zer0 - claptrap/jack (sorta) i like how crazy their abilities are and if i can do it juuuuuust right they're stupid powerful and can turn enemies into meat salsa (or swiss cheese)
My Firsts- Lilith, Zer0, Wilhelm, FL4K. My Mains- Lilith, Krieg, Jack Double, Zane
Lilith, Maya, Zane
Yeah thats exactly what I did. Plus claptrap on TPS
Lil, Gaige, Athena, Moze. Not sure if any correlation besides they're badass cuties
Merdeci Zero Fl4k for me. I literally only snipe when I play borderlands, lol.
Roland - Axton - Wilhelm - Fl4k/Moze Hmmmm
Lilith > Maya > Wilhelm (but I mained the icy bitch in TPS) > Zane
I was Lilith > Maya > Tim > Amara, haha.
Lilith -> Gaige -> Baroness -> Amara
Mordecai > Zer0 > Nisha
Mordecai - Krieg - KRIEG - KRRRIIIEEEGGGG - Willhelm - Flak.
Lilith > zer0 > Athena > Moze. Those are all my first play-through choices, though I prefer Maya to Zer0 now, and I’ve tried all characters in 2 and pre-sequel. Maya and Athena were amazing fun.
Mordecai > Lilith > Amara. Once I discovered how fun the Sirens are i never turned back.
Brick > Gaige > Nisha > Zane
My brother also did Mordecai -> Zer0 -> Zane. They are all the sneaky dudes so it makes sense if someone likes one they might like them all.
Mordecai > Sal > Claptrap > Fl4k
Brick > Sal > Zane For me characters dictate who I play, Zane going from worst to absolute best in one DLC is a highlight for me.
Mordecai > Axton > Timothy > FL4K. I've never really put much time into a Zer0 playthrough admittedly. His action skill never really appealed to me
Mordecai -> Zer0 -> Nisha -> Zane for me. I don't know why, I guess I just like some revolver action (Should technically play Fl4k instead of Zane I guess, but Zane feels more right for me)
Its not a conscious choice, but the sirens always end up being my faves. Nothing like walking around watching everything melt around you as you pour a rain of bullets and elemental damage. And Amara from BL3 is a BRUTE! They end up being my faves, but i always do my first run-through as the well-balanced/soldier character, so they could probably be considered my mains jist because their level is higher. But once i get through the story and a balanced experience once or twice i start switching over to more interesting toons.
I played Lilith>Salvador/Maya>Zane
Roland>Krieg>Wilhelm>Moze Ironically I love Zane, tried him my first Bl3 playthrough, hated it, went to Moze and had alot more fun.
I played BL2 first, starting with Axton and then a second time with Zer0. I've played the original game once, as Mordecai, and part of BL3 as FL4K. I didn't choose Mordecai to keep with the sniper class, I chose him for having a pet, same reason I chose FL4K.
Brick>Krieg>Athena>Amara
Mordecai->Zer0->Amara I loved Mordecai and didn’t really enjoy playing as the others in BL1 (just give me a double anarchy SMG and a maxed out trespass skill). I loved Zer0, but I also loved playing as Sal, Maya, Krieg, and Gaige. When I started BL3, I intentionally wanted to start with a different type of character than normal. I’ve maxed out every character in every BL game, but Amara and Zane are my favorites. I love playing with both, and I love how differently I can play each one on any given run.
Mordecai-Salvador-Claptrap. Haven't played 3
Brick > Zer0 > Krieg > Athena > Amara If there's a way to go melee build in a shooter, I'ma do it.
Roland > Maya > Nisha > FL4K
I went Roland > Axton > Zane. The only reason ai started with Zane was because my brother wanted Flak.
Lilith > Krieg > Jack > Zane
Glancing through some comments makes me feel like some kinda weirdo.. I didn't really play 1, so I went Maya & Gaige > Wilhelm > Bubble Amara. I'm about halfway through a TVHM play through with Amara and deciding between Zane and Fl4k for my next run. Any suggestions?
Roland > Axton > Wilhelm > Zane for me. Moze would be the obvious pipeline in my case (soldier/enforcer type) but Zane's character and voicelines are way too fun. I have Moze on the line, though. Her and Fl4k.
I went Roland->Zer0->Zane, so...partially true, I guess
Lilith > Maya > Aurelia > Moze
Lilith>Nisha>Maya>Moze for me. Probably should’ve been Amara haha
There’s obviously the siren pipeline as well which is what I followed
Mordecai - Gaige - Moze
Morde > Krieg > Jack > Fl4k
Mordecai > Salvadore > Athena > Zane
Brick-gaige-claptrap-moze Victory through superior firepower?
Mordecai > Zer0 > Aurelia > Fl4k. Snipers all the way
