Best Vex skills and build: Builds 2

Explore borderlands 4 Vex skill trees: Here Comes Trouble for Trouble companion buffs and Vexcalation for bleed & critical hit damage.

Here Comes Trouble Skill Tree Build

The Here Comes Trouble skill tree is a priority for players who want to enhance Vex’s companion, Trouble. This build aims for near-permanent overshield uptime for Vex, with additional passive benefits. Trouble, Vex’s large feline companion, can respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) (be brought back to life at a checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) after death) after a short cooldown when killed. While active, Trouble can be teleported to specific areas and can transform into Big Trouble, a larger, more damaging version with full health restoration. Trouble’s elemental damage adapts to Vex’s equipped weapon, offering significant versatility. Ordnance damage, which refers to grenade mods and heavy weapons in borderlands 4, will be key to clearing large groups of enemies with this build.

Best Vex Here Comes Trouble Skills:

• Grave Sustenance (5/5): Kill Skill: Restore a percentage of missing action skill duration.
• Violent Outburst (Augment): Command Skill: Command Trouble to explode himself, dealing ordnance damage to all nearby enemies and restoring health to Vex. While Phase Phamiliar is active, sacrifice 33% of his maximum health capacity instead.

Vexcalation Skill Tree Build

The Vexcalation skill tree build in borderlands 4 focuses on applying bleed damage over time to enemies, allowing Vex to focus on other threats. This build also emphasizes increasing critical hit chance, which in turn boosts the likelihood of triggering Kill Skills. Vex’s Incarnate action skill creates a Phase explosion that damages nearby enemies and fully restores her health. While Incarnate is active, Vex can cast Eldritch Blast and gains increased movement speed. Holding the action skill button can end Incarnate early, refunding cooldown time. Eldritch Blast causes Vex to fire from her offhand, damaging nearby enemies. Dealing gun damage simultaneously reduces Eldritch Blast’s cooldown.

• Leeching Attunement (4/5): Attune Skill: While Vex is attuned to kinetic, she gains increased lifesteal and reload speed. The effect persists for a duration after attunement is switched.
• Grave Sights (3/5): Kill Skill: Vex gains increased critical hit damage and weapon handling.
• Bloodletter (5/5): Gun and skill critical hits have a chance to apply bleed, causing kinetic status effect damage over time for a short duration. Bleed is affected by status effect application chance and is considered a status effect.

• Material Components (5/5): Vex gains increased kinetic damage and kinetic status effect damage.
