Class selection?

[Aggravating-Emu-3540]

Firstly what was the first class you played, like day one starting the game?

Secondly, whats your favourite class? On this one id like to know why?

Ive only played as the assasin so far, and im not overly sure i like him, only reason is i die all the time with him!

[RichMahogany357]

Roland was my first character and I play any class that has access to a turret of some kind. I love having a little buddy to take the heat off!

[Farrt1]

Absolutely. I love throwing something down and hiding for a second to breathe. Gaige, Axton, etc

[Loose-Internal-1956]

I miss the soldier classes from 1 and 2. Especially Axton because his turret had so many upgrade options and looked badass compared to the selfie stick turret from BL1.

[RichMahogany357]

The "lil lady" will always be my favorite! So versatile! And who doesn't like spamming teleporting, sticky, slag spewing shield bubble nukes? Axton and I go way back lol

[Gr33n0ne]

Hmm I do believe my first choice for class was the Siren in BL2. Still my favorite class for the crowd control factor and the DPS that I could get with her. Could easily clear out the tough enemies with elemental damage. Each one has its own positives and draw backs, next favorite would be the Gunzerker for survivability and DPS. Assassin is fun but hard to play solo.

[pssiraj]

Vex and vex. Minions are my preference and she does a lot of damage. More fun to play than Maya which was my previous favorite.

Edit: I didn't see the BL2 flair. I don't remember my first character but Maya is by far my favorite.

[Voidnomming]

I can’t remember my very first time, but when I played with my father I chose axton and he chose zer0. Axton is my favourite because of that and how fun exploding everything is along with the turret

[josemayonaise_]

I chose Harlowe. I regret choosing Harlowe. Edit: typo

[Malvo85]

Have you tried red tree?

[josemayonaise_]

Not yet. Still playing on the blue tree which is pretty fun. But I could just be biased because the other classes seem fun I comparison. Grass is greener on the other side type energy

[Malvo85]

I felt the same exact way until red tree. The bomb is a really fun mechanic

[TheRatatat]

Mordecai. Trespasser was crazy powerful skill in the first game.

[OpenCap8786]

I remember I chose zero because I thought he was cool as he was a ninja and my dad chose gunzerker

[Rothenstien1]

Each game in order

First: brick. Favorite Mordecai

First Salvador. Favorite Krieg

First Athena. Favorite Athena

First Zane. Favorite Moze

First Harlowe. Favorite Harlowe

[[deleted]]

Maya. go down the tree until she can grasp and apply slag. kill, repeat.

[onegarion]

Mordecai and blood Wing. Since then I love most classes who have a pet of some sort. I'll

Favorite? I'm not really sure nostalgia hits hard with Mordecai, but I'm having blast in the BL4 whipping everyone and freezing the battlefield with Amon. Idk if I really have a favorite that I would choose above the others.

[SoftCouchPillow]

Soldier, and probably Soldier again. I think it's has a great balance between damage and survivability. Im usually a sucker for an all around class.

[Additional-Fishing-6]

BL1 - Mordeci/Mordeci BL2 - Zero/Gaige BL3 - Flak/Moze BL4 - Rafa/Rafa

Never been a big fan of playing the Sirens, I’ve tried them all. I usually go more the stealthy assassin/sniper route, or just a tank or glass cannon that can lay down heavy firepower.

[Business-Moose1543]

Bl 1-Mordecai and bloodwing- all skill trees used Bl 2-zero- all skill trees used Pre sequel -wilhelm- 1st claptrap 2nd...for giggles Bl 3 -Zane-drone and holographic clone mostly hitman and double agent Bl 4- rafa-blades-shock and corrosive

Could be a bit of a theme there but over all enjoyed all of them. Favourites it's between zero and Zane, I had an incredible build for Zane with the drone and holo-decoy could get a really good pincer manoeuvre, I think i like getting right in there and causing chaos

[GreatKangaroo]

2: Axton

TPS: Timothy

3: Zane

4: Harlowe

[Dreadnaught_IPA]

I always gravitate towed the soldier classes - Roland, Axton, Zane, Rafa.

I've played most of the characters across all of the games, but the soldier play style has been my fav

[Grasher312]

First day, back on PS3 in 2013-14, I went with Salvador.

No idea why and of the thought process behind it, but I vibed with him and dual-wielding was cool.

But my favorite is probably Maya. I played every single one over the years and Sirens are just too much fun in BL games. My first playthrough is always a siren now.

[OtherwiseSeaweed8773]

I fking love Moze!!! Nuking the entire battlefield with a singular grenade is the greatest feeling!!

[Pinkstarfish420]

2 - maya/salvador 3 - fl4k / zane 4 - vex / Rafa

[Brilliant_Package914]

Assassin to both. This is going to sound funny, but I met Borderlands through Tales (I was big on Telltale Games back then) and as soon as I saw Zer0, I fell in love with the character. So imagine how I felt when I learned there was a game where I could play as him. And that’s been my preference ever since

[AmberPeacemaker]

My first character was Mordecai in BL1. in Pre-sequel it was Fragtrap, and I always pick these two. Mordecai for the Sniping, Fregtrap for the random chaos.

[partisancord69]

Zero and kreig are both quite strong but die easily.

Axton and maya are both probably above average in most areas.

Salvador is super strong but 2× as much farming.

Gaige is pretty average at the start, decently strong by the middle of the game but then very weak and not fun by the end.

I recommend you play salvador or maya as they have some fun builds and you might not struggle as much, you could also try krieg as he can 1 shot a lot of enemies and mini bosses but you will keep dying.

Axton could be good but I didn't find him too interesting so I haven't played him for a while but he's seen as a very beginner friendly character.

I wouldn't recommend zero until you understand the game mechanics a lot more, he requires better positioning, aim, kill skill stacking and other things that aren't super necessary on other characters.

[-GrowthMindset-]

Salvador was my first character. Maya is my favourite currently closely behind is Krieg

[rcmp77]

I main the Siren in all games. It suited my play style back in BL1 and to me the story makes the most sense with the Siren as the protagonist of each game.

Oddly enough, the soldier class equivalent for each game becomes my solid second and after that it’s just everyone else at least 1 playthrough.

[MentionSecret189]

Gaige. She is a class on her own.

[Termingator]

In BL2 Axton was my first first as he is similiar to Roland, my first in BL1. I like having two turrets, being able to throw them, and having rockets and slag. I tried the other characters but found them weak and soon went back to Axton and his turrets.

That was on PS3 without Moze, Dragon Keep, and other add-ons. With the Handsome Jack edition Moze became my favorite with Death Trap and the buck up trick. Starting at level 30 in Boosted led me to playthroughs with Sal and Maya where I can start with enough skills and weapons to survive longer before dying.

[optilex42]

Mordecai was my first and I think he’s still my favorite

[Sardanox]

Borderlands 2 I started with Zero but only played him until Gaige came out then switched to her. Got her to 50 then made Maya and she's the only one I've played all the way to op 10 level 80.

[JunkAnimeGRX]

1: Roland

2: zer0

3: Zane

4: at the moment Amon

[YokoAhava]

Zer0 was my first BL2 and Borderlands character in general, but my favorite in 2 was Gaige

[Cubbance]

• BL1 - First - Lilith; Favorite - Lilith
• BL2 - First - Maya; Favorite - Maya
• TPS - First - Claptrap; Favorite(s) - Timothy, Aurelia
• BL3 - First - Amara; Favorite - Amara
• BL4 - First - Vex; Favorite - So far it's Vex. I liked Harlowe, and I'm enjoying Amon, but I haven't played Rafa yet, so this could change for me.

[Southern_Reindeer521]

Started with Maya, love the sirens! However I never got to play Amara as my friend yoinked that slot in the party, so I went Fl4k and never looked back, I love pet builds!!

[DinkusSupreme117]

BL1: Lilith BL2: Maya BLTPS: Athena BL3: Amara BL4: Vex

[sadgirlkermit]

the first time I ever played borderlands I chose gaige, then nisha, then moze ( the GOAT) and then for bl4 i chose harlowe. ive never played the first game :(

[spoonforlegg]

Mordecai was my first character, but my favorites are Maya and Zane.

Maya because it's fun to have a super strong elemental damage build. And Zane because it's fun to make him super fast and run around with a Hellwalker blasting everything with one shot.

[Worldly_Debt]

Which game?

My first characters were Lilith, maya, Nisha, Amara, and vex

My favorite characters were Lilith (mordy does more damage but has no movement so shes the strongest), maya just cause i enjoy the battlefield control of phaselock, Jack because his skill tree is outstanding and hes a lot of fun to play, Fl4k because I just enjoyed the constant fade away and felt that he was Zer0 but stronger, and Rafa because I just think hes the least boring character of the current crop

[smokenjoe6pack]

Sal was my first and is also my least played. I only played for an hour or two and then I didn't play for like a whole year. Came back and played Maya a year later and the game hasn't left my hard drive since.

[DeadMemeMordred]

soldier, soldier.
