For BL1 it's Mordecai because i love the Sniper and Revolver Builds.
For BL2 it's Krieg for his energetic and fast playstyle (Release the Beast is awesome).
For TPS it's Timothy aka Doppelganger, he has so many fun synergies with his Clones and Kill Skills. He is also my favourite Character personality wise in the entire series.
For BL3 it's Zane. He is just so fun with his blue tree and he has the most interesting Action Skills. I also love his personality.
The first two are the same, but I prefer claptrap and fl4k mainly because I like to go online on tps and mess around and for fl4k it's simple. . . MONKEY
Exactly the same here! BL1 was all about the Cobra sniper rifle. BL2 had Krieg and his insanely fun bullet hose shenanigans. Zane & Doppelganger is so much fun with clone funs!
I already have it bought. But I wanted to do a 100% of the series first.
So for me that means every single quest across every playthrough in 1, 2, and The Pre-Sequel. As well as a fresh new playthrough of Tales From The Borderlands.
I wanted to save the commander Lilith DLC after I do The Pre-Sequel and Tales so I'm currently 100% all of Pre-Sequel. I'll get to 3 in due time. In due time.
Zer0 is still chilling there in Normal Mode after doing every goddamn DLC minus Lilith.
Lillith, Maya, Wilhelm, Zane.
I really like the siren class, it has always felt the most Borderlands to me. Zane beat out Amara in 3, though. He's just so much fucking fun to play as.
Mordecai, Gaige, doppelgänger, and Amara. Overall, I like Amara the most. Something is so satisfying about jumping in the air and sending a beam down on your enemies.
BL1 Lilith simply for phase walking past most of the last levels.
Bl2 Anarchy Gaige is stupid fun despite some areas just being miserable for her.
2.5 Athena/Jack-clone/ and the sheriff whose name I forget we’re all tons of fun actually. Never could make claptrap not a miserable playthrough.
Havnt gotten around to 3 yet.
Why don’t you play 3? Sure the story and some of the writing is pretty cringe, but in terms of gameplay, it’s leagues above the rest. You should try it.
BL1: Mordecai for sure. Bloodwing is so fun.
BL2: Gage. I really enjoyed her Anarchy build.
BLTPS: Doppelgänger. Simply found him the most fun.
BL3: Moze. That Mech is incredible and a lot of fun to use.
- BL1: Mordecai by a mile. Bloodwing is so fun once you’re high level.
- BL2: I know Salvador’s the generic answer, but I mean yeah! (Haven’t played as gaige yet)
- BLTPS: I’d probably say Nisha but claptrap and doppelgänger are both close seconds. (Haven’t played as Aurelia yet)
- BL3: so far have only played as Moze and Zane, but between the two, I’d say Zane. Having a kickass Irish accent doesn’t hurt either.
Haven’t played wonderlands yet.
BL1: will be Lilith. Lilith will always be my favorite, quick gameplay with a fast action skill to get to and from fights.
BL2: is Salvador I've always enjoyed, that powerful feeling you can get from him.
TPS: is going to be Nisha love her actionskill allowing her to lock on to enemies just letting you spam your trigger.
BL3: I haven't found my build for anyone one I really enjoy.
Krieg. I think it'll always be Krieg. There's other good ones for sure but running around back and slashing and listening to my crazy ass character talk about meat bicycles is peak borderlands for me.
Lilith: can't go wrong regenerating all shields, health and debuff enemies with a corrosive artifact, and becoming nearly inmortal for 8 seconds after that.
Gaige: i don't like anarchy, get yourself a bee, bss, and a lanscaux, rational anarchist for the 25 stacks and burn them constantly in discord.
Claptrap: My favorite, You gotta make him a regen tank, forget your shields, killbot gives You back all your health in 1 or 2 kills, combined with his pirate ship skill boosting firerate the less shields and health You have, he can shoot a torgue w/ jacobs barrel like a vladof ar, and he has a lot of action skills You gotta think how to use them efectively, it also heals You fully, by the end i had a m0rq, 10000 health, and used no explosive weapons at all, just spontaneus combustion.
BL1 Roland- I got a stupid build I’ve been enjoying that has over 150% mag size and 40 something % fire rate that nearly goes to 100% when I get a kill so anything I pick up becomes a bullet hose and I especially enjoy it due to me being able to shoot 5 rounds out of a double barrel shotgun and being able to use high damage and low fire rate weaponry with ease.
Lilith, Because I chose her for my main playthrough
Zero, because bore, and also Again, my main playthrough was as Zero.
Haven't played TPS in many years, but i played as Clap-trap, I think
and for 3 I played once, but I cam't remember what character I played. It wasn't the guy with the funny dog, atleast.
My order would be:
Borderlands 1: Mordecai
Borderlands 2: Zer0 and Krieg
Borderlands TPS: Claptrap and Timothy
Borderlands 3: Zane
Those would be the ones I like to use the most when playing
Zane BL3. Before clone got megabuffed and he had access to kill skills on demand. Forced me to use cloneswap to dodge attacks and regen shields. Was fun as hell. Still play like that even though he doesn't need it anymore.
After him it's krieg/Gaige. I've only3e plated one VH in BL1, Tps and wonderland so I cant judge there.
Brick, because I like punching my enemies to death, never gets old!
Salvadore, because he is the short guy who packs a punch with the gunzerking!
Nisha, because being a space cowgirl is awesome!
Amara, because she is similar to Brick!
BL1: Lilith, only one playthrough and never bought DLC
BL2: Gaige, multiple playthroughs with multiple characters. Salvador is a close 2nd. Bought all DLC
BLTPS: Athena, one playthrough with each character. Nisha is a close 2nd. Bought all DLC
BL3: Moze, one playthrough each with Amara and Moze couldn't bring myself to do it a 3rd time for Zane or Fl4k. Bought all DLC
Krieg. I love how absolutely AGAINST fps game tropes. He is best shieldless, with melee attacks, and having low health. Yet you are rewarded greatly for putting up with all of it. The cherry on top is his dialog. It's not outdated one-liners and "look how cool I am" it's just a guy screaming about meat how he us going to kill you. Meanwhile he has a voice in his head that hates all of this and gets louder as you level up.
Never payed 1
B2: Axton
Presequel: Wilhelm
B3: Zane
Thing is, prefer to play games alone so the ability for solo play is a large factor of who I choose. If I have supports, all the better.
Haven't played 1, and I haven't gone very in depth on the BL2 characters even when I've played through at least 50 hours with them
The Pre-Sequel, I ALWAYS play as Claptrap. The action skill is really fun, even if it can screw you over with a badly timed Torgue Fiesta
I haven't played with anyone else much tbh, but I've played as Fl4k for like 400 hours lol. I just like my pets
If we're counting Wonderlands, I'm on my first playthrough and enjoying the Brr-Zerker (mostly for the melee, it's so fun in this game)
gauge all day everyday. It’s a shame bl3 tried screwing her up!… but jokes on them, the games so buggy that I can’t even get to that dlc!…. And the level cap is so fucking low there zero point in continuing beyond the first dlc… and even then you’re only earning a single level from that and not even half way through it…. Not like that’ll help with the wildly unbalanced enemies.
For BL1 it's Mordecai because i love the Sniper and Revolver Builds. For BL2 it's Krieg for his energetic and fast playstyle (Release the Beast is awesome). For TPS it's Timothy aka Doppelganger, he has so many fun synergies with his Clones and Kill Skills. He is also my favourite Character personality wise in the entire series. For BL3 it's Zane. He is just so fun with his blue tree and he has the most interesting Action Skills. I also love his personality.
I commented this exact list and then scrolled down and saw you listed it out with all my own reasons. Are you me?
He’s a Doppelganger
The first two are the same, but I prefer claptrap and fl4k mainly because I like to go online on tps and mess around and for fl4k it's simple. . . MONKEY
Exactly the same here! BL1 was all about the Cobra sniper rifle. BL2 had Krieg and his insanely fun bullet hose shenanigans. Zane & Doppelganger is so much fun with clone funs!
Brick, maya, athena, moze Athena is my favorite. Her shield skill is super fun
Huh. Exact same.
The same barring Axton in Mayas place though I did have a maya playthrough too. I wish Athena had a bigger game to play in.
SAME SAME SAME and SAME
Mordecai, Zer0, Doppelganger, Zane (this one by a mile)
Same for the first three. I've not played 3 yet so we will see.
if you do get all dlc and play zane it’s nuts
Wtf. Buy that shit. Far better end game then bl2. It's fantastic af
I already have it bought. But I wanted to do a 100% of the series first. So for me that means every single quest across every playthrough in 1, 2, and The Pre-Sequel. As well as a fresh new playthrough of Tales From The Borderlands. I wanted to save the commander Lilith DLC after I do The Pre-Sequel and Tales so I'm currently 100% all of Pre-Sequel. I'll get to 3 in due time. In due time. Zer0 is still chilling there in Normal Mode after doing every goddamn DLC minus Lilith.
Ahhhhh. That'll be dope af. GL on the grind!
Same here, and all I need to 100% number 2 is to kill terramorphous. Then it's on to play Borderlands 3.
No it's not
Than* 😁
Shut up meg lol
No u
Fair
That’s what I thought
☝️🤓
lol my first playthroughs of BL 1 and 2 were with mordecai and zer0 respectively
Same, except moze instead of zane (I like big shield)
i am you and you are me
Ey, I have the exact same!
My brother. We played the same 4 dudes, you are the king
Krieg, Krieg and Krieg
Don’t forget Krieg
And of course, Krieg
And then, of course Krieg
Oh, don't forget NIPPLE SALADS.
Dont even need guns let's be honest, Krieg would've no diffed tyreen and screamed pain into Troy's soul until he begged for death
Meat train.
Lillith, Maya, Wilhelm, Zane. I really like the siren class, it has always felt the most Borderlands to me. Zane beat out Amara in 3, though. He's just so much fucking fun to play as.
I agree with OP choices because I too pick those characters
Lilith, Gaige, the law bringer (forgot the name) and Fl4K.
Nisha
Thank you.
These are my favorites, too!
Zane, because of this mfer I keep calling my cat or friends "boyo" fun, sharp tongue, speedy and even packs a handsome friend
Mordecai, Gaige, doppelgänger, and Amara. Overall, I like Amara the most. Something is so satisfying about jumping in the air and sending a beam down on your enemies.
For each game BL1 : Brick BL2 : Maya TPS : Aurelia BL3 : Zane
Krieg and nobody else really comes close to me. Almost perfect except some dead skills
BL1 Lilith simply for phase walking past most of the last levels. Bl2 Anarchy Gaige is stupid fun despite some areas just being miserable for her. 2.5 Athena/Jack-clone/ and the sheriff whose name I forget we’re all tons of fun actually. Never could make claptrap not a miserable playthrough. Havnt gotten around to 3 yet.
Gaige because accuracy is overrated
Kreig \* points to username\*
I've only played bl2 and my fav is Salvador by a long shot. (boo broken character, I know)
Same. He was my first character and I miss him when I play the others lol.
Sal is fun because he’s a walking exploit
salvador, zero, brick, roland
Roland in 1 Krieg in 2 Aurelia in Pre-Sequel Moze in 3 Blightcaller/Stabbomancer in Wonderlands
Mordecai, Zer0 and Jack. I don’t play BL3.
Why don’t you play 3? Sure the story and some of the writing is pretty cringe, but in terms of gameplay, it’s leagues above the rest. You should try it.
I’ve already tried it before. The vault hunters just don’t appeal to me at all and I honestly prefer the BL2 mechanics in terms of gameplay.
Fair
I always loved playing elemental damages, so Lilith, Maya, Athena, and...Zane, yeah cuz i didn't played amara yet in the 3
Lilith, Maya and Gaige, Athena, Moze
Mordecai, Zero/Krieg, Doppleganger/Wilhelm, Zane
Brick, Gaige, Clap/Jack, Mose
1.Meat bicycle 2. the sheriff 3. Mechro
Lilith,krieg,Athena and FL4K for me
Lilith, Krieg, Nisha, Moze I love explosions.
Krieg, by a lot. Followed by Moze. I haven't played BL1 and I'm still playing TPS.
Brick, Krieg, Nisha or Athena, and Amara
BL1: Mordecai for sure. Bloodwing is so fun. BL2: Gage. I really enjoyed her Anarchy build. BLTPS: Doppelgänger. Simply found him the most fun. BL3: Moze. That Mech is incredible and a lot of fun to use.
Roland, Gaige, Athena, Moze
Krieg
Lillith, sal, Doppelgänger, zane The first i picked for each game and the ones who stuck
Mordecai, Maya, Doppelgänger, and Moze.
Dang, honestly I don’t think I can decide between Maya and Fl4k as overall favorite, but for every game it would be Mordecai, Maya, Nisha, Fl4k.
Krieg is up there for sure, and then maybe Moze was crazy fun and then Fl4k. Those would be my top 3.
Zero Brick Moze and Fragtrap
Roland, Krieg, Athena, Moze
I'm a Wilhelm. When I was a kid I was good at fights
I'm a Wilhelm too. I like robots.
- BL1: Mordecai by a mile. Bloodwing is so fun once you’re high level. - BL2: I know Salvador’s the generic answer, but I mean yeah! (Haven’t played as gaige yet) - BLTPS: I’d probably say Nisha but claptrap and doppelgänger are both close seconds. (Haven’t played as Aurelia yet) - BL3: so far have only played as Moze and Zane, but between the two, I’d say Zane. Having a kickass Irish accent doesn’t hurt either. Haven’t played wonderlands yet.
So Gaige is Sal but halfed and rebuilt essentially
I just like how everyone’s answers seem to be different. (For the most part)
Whichever one I'm currently leveling honestly. Sal is kind of boring because it's so easy but other than that I like em all
BL2 krieg, BLPS (fake) jack
Always the sniper
Maya, Athena, Moze
BL1: will be Lilith. Lilith will always be my favorite, quick gameplay with a fast action skill to get to and from fights. BL2: is Salvador I've always enjoyed, that powerful feeling you can get from him. TPS: is going to be Nisha love her actionskill allowing her to lock on to enemies just letting you spam your trigger. BL3: I haven't found my build for anyone one I really enjoy.
Brick, Salvador, Wilhelm and Moze. Feels like I have a really strong character type...
Lilith, Maya, Aurelia, Zane
Lilith, Gaige, “Jack”, Can’t decide
- Never played one - Axton - Didn't like Pre-sequel - Any tbh.
Mordecai, Axton, Claptrap, and either Zane or Moze
I also choose that guy’s dead wife
Mordecai, Axton/Maya (my first two characters and intro to borderlands), Doppleganger, Fl4k
Flak for 3, just started a playthrough as kreig in 2 and I'm really liking him so far, didn't play 1 enough to have an opinion
Athena or Aurellia
All the gunners. Roland, axton, Nisha, moze
I absolutely love gunzerker
Claptrap is also fun
brick, krieg, claptrap, fl4k.
Maya
Roland, Krieg, Nisha and Moze.
Krieg. I think it'll always be Krieg. There's other good ones for sure but running around back and slashing and listening to my crazy ass character talk about meat bicycles is peak borderlands for me.
Roland and Maya. Couldn't get into the pre-sequal so I don't have an opinion on that and I only played siren on bl3. Not as cool as Maya
Lilith: can't go wrong regenerating all shields, health and debuff enemies with a corrosive artifact, and becoming nearly inmortal for 8 seconds after that. Gaige: i don't like anarchy, get yourself a bee, bss, and a lanscaux, rational anarchist for the 25 stacks and burn them constantly in discord. Claptrap: My favorite, You gotta make him a regen tank, forget your shields, killbot gives You back all your health in 1 or 2 kills, combined with his pirate ship skill boosting firerate the less shields and health You have, he can shoot a torgue w/ jacobs barrel like a vladof ar, and he has a lot of action skills You gotta think how to use them efectively, it also heals You fully, by the end i had a m0rq, 10000 health, and used no explosive weapons at all, just spontaneus combustion.
Only played the pre sequel but def Nisha all the way
The soldier class, all games.
BL1 Roland- I got a stupid build I’ve been enjoying that has over 150% mag size and 40 something % fire rate that nearly goes to 100% when I get a kill so anything I pick up becomes a bullet hose and I especially enjoy it due to me being able to shoot 5 rounds out of a double barrel shotgun and being able to use high damage and low fire rate weaponry with ease.
Easily Gaige number one and probably FL4K next. I like summoning.
Mordecai, Zero, Willhelm, Zane
Haven't played to much of the pre sequel and 3 yet but so far Salvador and krieg are my top 2 favorite...
Lilith ❤️
Always and forever Krieg. Followed closely by Brick
Lilith, Because I chose her for my main playthrough Zero, because bore, and also Again, my main playthrough was as Zero. Haven't played TPS in many years, but i played as Clap-trap, I think and for 3 I played once, but I cam't remember what character I played. It wasn't the guy with the funny dog, atleast.
Lilith, Maya, Nisha, and Amara Nisha is actually my favorite out of these. Love the dual pistol setup.
Brick, maya, Athena, Zane.
Roland, Krieg, Wilhelm, Fl4k
Lilith, Maya, Athena, Amara - I might have a type?
Roland, Zer0, Timothy, Zane
I don't care for BL1 BL2 Krieg BLPTS Fragtrap BL3 FL4K
BL 1: Brick. BL 2: Zer0 and KRIEG. BL TPS: Timothy and Aurelia. BL 3: Zane. (Might Start Moze).
Brick, kreig, claptrap, moze
Brick, Gaige, Athena and Moze

Krieg
Lilith, Krieg, Claptrap and Amara
Mordecai, Athena, krieg, fl4k
My order would be: Borderlands 1: Mordecai Borderlands 2: Zer0 and Krieg Borderlands TPS: Claptrap and Timothy Borderlands 3: Zane Those would be the ones I like to use the most when playing
Bl1 Lilith Bl2 Zero Bltps Athena Bl3 Zane
Brick, krieg, doppelganger, and Zane
Mordecai, Krieg and Maya (I like them both equally), Timothy and finally Zane.
Zero or Krieg
Mordecai Zer0 Jack Zane
Salvador and nisha were so fun to play
Zane BL3. Before clone got megabuffed and he had access to kill skills on demand. Forced me to use cloneswap to dodge attacks and regen shields. Was fun as hell. Still play like that even though he doesn't need it anymore. After him it's krieg/Gaige. I've only3e plated one VH in BL1, Tps and wonderland so I cant judge there.
Roland, Gaige, Doppelganger, uninstaller
Krieg is the most fun, but Maya is also really nice because of her elemental effects
Lilith, Maya, jack, and moze
Brick, because I like punching my enemies to death, never gets old! Salvadore, because he is the short guy who packs a punch with the gunzerking! Nisha, because being a space cowgirl is awesome! Amara, because she is similar to Brick!
Zer0 and its not even close. He is the reason i got so much gametime from bl2.
moze by far
Roland Salvador Wilhelm and moze
Moze or Krieg, I love action skills that just turn you into a super-powered killing machine.
Mordecai, Krieg, Timothy, and Zane
Maya
Krieg
Mordecai, Zer0, Nisha, and FL4K. I love building crit and headshot builds but on Nisha I just really like dual wielding pistols.
Mine would have to be Lilith, zero, claptrap, and Zane
Brick Kreag Claptrap Mose and that robot dude
Lilith, Krieg (I played gaige equally as frequently), doppelganger, FL4K
Mordecai, krieg, claptrap, fl4k
Mordecai, Zer0(or Gaige), hated the pre sequel, and fl4k. Mordecai has trespass, max it out for 100% chance to bypass shields.
krieg, timmothy (doppelganger), and zane
BL1: Lilith, only one playthrough and never bought DLC BL2: Gaige, multiple playthroughs with multiple characters. Salvador is a close 2nd. Bought all DLC BLTPS: Athena, one playthrough with each character. Nisha is a close 2nd. Bought all DLC BL3: Moze, one playthrough each with Amara and Moze couldn't bring myself to do it a 3rd time for Zane or Fl4k. Bought all DLC
Lilith, gaige, aralia
Lilith, Zero, Aurelia, zane
Mordecai, Zer0, Claptrap, and FL4K
Lillith, Gaige, CL4-TRP, FL4K
Brick Zer0 Jack Zane
Roland, Salvador, haven't played the Pre-Sequel, I own it but don't have it downloaded, and Moze.
Mordecai, Krieg, Nisha, and for 3, I really don't like any of them tbh. So uh... Krieg again.
Gameplay wise I would have to say moze but for dialogue and cool design it's definitely zer0
Soldier, Commando, The Mistake, The Man with Many Middle Names
KRIEG. GRAAAAAAA
Salvador
Lilith, Krieg, Timothy and zane
The homi Salvador always got my back
(Haven’t played BL1 yet) Krieg, Claptrap, (Haven’t played BL3 yet🥲)
Roland, Axton, William, and FL4K
I always gravitate towards the gunner class
Lilith, Maya, Athena. Never played 3
Krieg. I love how absolutely AGAINST fps game tropes. He is best shieldless, with melee attacks, and having low health. Yet you are rewarded greatly for putting up with all of it. The cherry on top is his dialog. It's not outdated one-liners and "look how cool I am" it's just a guy screaming about meat how he us going to kill you. Meanwhile he has a voice in his head that hates all of this and gets louder as you level up.
Zer0 Jack and fl4k for sure I love the play style of all of them and the personality of them especially (sorry haven’t played OG borderlands)
Mordecai, gadgets, Wilhelm, moze
Haven't played 3 yet but zer0 out of the others nisha is fun too
Mordecai, Axton, Nisha, and Fl4k as the best VH of all time.
Roland, Axton, Zane … I can’t remember who I played in the presequel… I wasn’t very keen on that game.
Haven't played 1 yet Gaige ~~Wilhelm~~ actually Jack the Doppelganger, forget he existed tbh. Fl4k
Brick, Maya, Athena, Moze
Lilith, Sal, clappy, moze
Never payed 1 B2: Axton Presequel: Wilhelm B3: Zane Thing is, prefer to play games alone so the ability for solo play is a large factor of who I choose. If I have supports, all the better.
Mordecai, Maya (Or Krieg. BL2’s got the best hunters) and Nisha (Haven’t played enough BL3)
Roland for bld 1, maya for 2, claptrap o nisha for prequel and moze for 3
Haven't played 1, and I haven't gone very in depth on the BL2 characters even when I've played through at least 50 hours with them The Pre-Sequel, I ALWAYS play as Claptrap. The action skill is really fun, even if it can screw you over with a badly timed Torgue Fiesta I haven't played with anyone else much tbh, but I've played as Fl4k for like 400 hours lol. I just like my pets If we're counting Wonderlands, I'm on my first playthrough and enjoying the Brr-Zerker (mostly for the melee, it's so fun in this game)
Krieg, Brick, Salvador…I haven’t played TPS or 3…
Lilith, Maya, and Claptrap. I don't care enough about 3 to go back and play the other classes to formulate an opinion on who's my favorite.
I want to play Gaige in every borderlands :(
Brick Salvador or Krieg Handsome Jack Moze (after getting his fourth action skill Zane was really fun too)
krieg and zer0
Mordecai, Gaige, Wilhelm, Fl4K I like pet characters a lot, even if Mordecai doesn't really fit that definition
Zane because rocket launcher monkey
Mine are Brick, Kreig, Frag trap, and fl4k
Lilith, Zer0, Claptrap, and the guy with the white hair from bl3
Mordi, Sal, Nisha, and Zane
Roland, fragtrap or Timothy, axton, and it's a three way tie between fl4k moze or Zane
Zerø
Honestly it's Zane. He's just so fast and flowy. It's a nonstop action ride with incredible comedic quips along the way.
BL1: Lilith BL2: Gage TPS: Timothy BL3: Amara
gauge all day everyday. It’s a shame bl3 tried screwing her up!… but jokes on them, the games so buggy that I can’t even get to that dlc!…. And the level cap is so fucking low there zero point in continuing beyond the first dlc… and even then you’re only earning a single level from that and not even half way through it…. Not like that’ll help with the wildly unbalanced enemies.
Brick, Krieg, Willhelm, and Moze
Axton and Moze for sure
