Borderlands 3 Character Guide: Which new character is best to start your first playthrough, The Calypso Twins

The critically acclaimed looter-shooter series of all time Borderlands has returned once again with its 4th instalment, " Borderlands 3". Borderlands 3 takes places 5 years after the event of Borderlands the pre-sequel epilogue. In the Epilogue, we saw Lilith along with the crimson raiders and other fellow vault hunters ordered the crimson raiders to execute Athena. Though she was saved by the vault guardians. The guardians warned Lilith to gather more friends to battle the huge war which is coming. Now thinking about the warning one can say that they might have been referring to the Calypso Twins, the main antagonists of Borderlands 3 " Troy and Tyreen".

The Calypso Twins Troy and Tyreen are going to be one of the toughest villains we have ever seen in the series. They might be more despicable than Handsome Jack itself. Handsome Jacks action at some point in the Borderlands series might have been wrong, he did evil things but in the end, he always wanted to free Pandora. Handsome Jack wanted to make Pandora a place to live, a place free of bandits and deadly threats that roamed the lands of Pandora. The Calypso Twins, on the other hand, are siren who runs a cult of bandits. They are after the vaults, they even defeated Lilith and may even have stolen her power. Troy and Tyreen are the worst threat our heroes will ever face because they are siren. Siren are powerful beings, on top of that their powers evolved after the occurrence of eridium throughout Pandora. Who knows how much of a great power they might be holding to be treated as a god by the bandits.

Now to battle such foes we need powerful allies and heroes. You don't have to worry because the help has already arrived. Borderlands 3 introduces a new set of heroes with new special powers and attributes. These characters or simply the 4 main protagonists of Borderlands 3 are FL4K, Amara, Moze and Zane. In this article, we are going to discuss all four characters and their special powers.

FL4K

Developers Description- FL4K who is a wandering robotic tracker whose cold steel heart warms only for their pet beasts.

FL4K is a humanoid robot who can tame beasts and use them offensively, in the reveal trailer we saw the tamed beasts have same mechanical eyes as FL4K. The beasts are the special ability of FL4K. In terms of battle, FL4K special attack can provide you with additional support just like Mordecai's Bloodwing and Gaige's Deathtrap.FL4K can be considered an alternative to Mordecai who had Bloodwing as his pet and main attack. Though on the same hand he is quite new to the series. As because we don't know if FL4K is going to have a limited number of predefined beasts or he can tame any beasts of Pandora. if the latter one is true then He's going to become one of the most liked characters. So, if you are a player who enters the fight without thinking about the result and might need a plus one. Then FL4K is your best choice to start with.

Amara

Developers Description- Amara beats bad guys into pancakes with her psychic fists.

Like previous Borderlands games, this time also we get a Siren as a playable character. Amara who is yet another siren with a badass ability to annihilate her enemies with just punches. Amara's siren powers can be considered as more of the raw power type. She can be considered an alternative to Brick from Borderlands 1. If you have played with Krieg and Brick then Amara can provide you similar close combat experience. Considering her powers she may have more physical resistance than any other character.

Moze

Developers Description- Moze’s best friend is a 10-ton walking killing machine.

Moze is the most unique character who has been intoduced so far. Moze can summon a mecha suit which can be used to wreak havoc. Moze will be the soldier class in Borderlands 3 emphasizing more on firepower. Her abilities are well suited for both support and leading a battle while being in the frontline. He abilities can be used by other heroes who can mount at the top the mecha to use a mounted weapon. This feature will help players who enjoy playing Borderlands multiplayer or co-op.

Zane

Developers Description- Zane, the semi-retired corporate hitman... well, he’s Zane.

Zane is a character whose special ability is a drone who assists him in battle. The drone also has the power of creating a body double of Zane. Zane's power can be considered a combination of Zero and Wilhelm. He will be great in using long-range weapons, his drone can probably act both offensive and defensive. Personally, I think Zane is the most versatile character in Borderlands 3. Though everything can be confirmed once we get our hands on the game which is going to release on September 13, 2019.
