  • In this series I am going to be covering all the characters from Borderlands 2 and Borderlands The Pre Sequel going over skill trees and gear. I'll be talking about what works and doesn't work but more importantly why it does or does not work.
    In this episode I am covering Aurelia Hammerlock the Baroness.

    What's peculiar with her skillset is that she has very few kill skills, that creates a very different dynamic of play IMO. I'm with you here: she is a very well designed character

      Old video and comment but I will still like add: Presequel in general has the best creative/effective ratio out of all the borderlands games, including 3 and wonderlands. I feel like in the newer games its just a bunch of strong skills all mashed together, while tps and 2 required coherency and rewarded those who planned builds with magnificent results.

    I finally figured her out when I realized she's a goddess with shock weapons. Shock and cryo = OP. Celestial baroness and shock weapons destroy everything. Anything that resists shock is usually weak to cryo and vice-versa.

    • @leeman27534
      @leeman27534 Před 5 lety +4

      honestly envisioning claptrap having the better synergy with his explosive skills + cryo enhancing all of them. but yeah, since she doesn't even need to use cryo weapons, between her action skill or her kill skill, another elemental weapon can be great.

    I remember playing a campaign with Aurelia back in 2015/2016 and this video brings me back to those days! It was funny, my friends refused to use the contract mechanic because they didn’t want to be my “servant”

    Aurelia’s tier 1 skill Duchess is in her “co-op” tree, but is low key her best solo skill. Duchess stacks persist, as long as you OR your Servant don’t die. No servant in solo play. So one of the balancing factors to keep it fair is gone. It’s basically 2 points for a full time 80% accuracy buff.

  • @MrEshed123
    @MrEshed123 Před 7 lety +13

    Note that Omni-Cannon's explosive damage gets even cooler with Custom Loads and Wintertide. Also, the gun is considered non-elemental despite that explosive splash, so her skill that buffs non-corrosive/incendiary/explosive guns still buffs Omni-Cannon.

  • @STALKER777LK
    @STALKER777LK Před 3 lety +7

    Aurelia is definitely the best sniper class in the whole franchise, by a long shot 😏 Dare I say the best design VH overa.
    Her synergy with both kinds of snipers (fast, slow) integrating with each other to make her damage cap and damage floor less dramatic, which was zer0s biggest flaw as a sniper, is also pretty smart since she got CA as independent skills with better design.
    In the end they even integrated cryo in her trees and action skill which is an improved mix between maya sniping style and fade away passive damage, but more well constructed towards the sniping gameplay, which is pretty... Cool 😏

    Since I'm so used to playing with Axton's Pressure in mind I kinda like Podsnappery, but compared to Pressure it really should do more for recharge delay because for Axton it's -60% while it's just -35% for Aurelia, especially since it's that far down in the tree.

    • @Derchlands
      @Derchlands  Před 8 lety +5

      Yeah if the numbers were better I would be more for it but they are not great at all. Ward is tier one and its alway on -40% delay

  • @17clon2cwr
    @17clon2cwr Před 11 měsíci +2

    What gearbox really should have done is made her coop tree optional.
    Either by having a few extra skills to branch with, or by giving a few skills added effects available only while playing coop rather than limited skills that are only active while playing coop.
    I think a lot of the player base felt cheated with her limited possibilities.

  • @InkWavve
    @InkWavve Před 5 lety +7

    It's SUCH a shame that her epic bitchslap skill had to be a freaking capstone in her coop tree.
    It really should've been like Jack's "Inspire" skill, where the Baroness says something exquisitely sassy while bitchslapping giant monsters, and it wouldn't even have to provide any gameplay benefits to be SO worth that point.

    • @DeathBone4656
      @DeathBone4656 Před 4 lety

      I really wish her capstones in the Cryo and Co op changed,Like I like the idea of extra cryo on bullets but maybe something else like a Action skill augmentation like A crytal above her head that shoots out cryo like a beam type thing,Its can hit up to 3 enemies at a time,And every 10 seconds everything currently being hit by the shard would activate the fragmented rain and nova and winter fury

    • @DeathBone4656
      @DeathBone4656 Před 4 lety

      For co op I wouldve made it still a melee override but something like Mayas scorn but with cryo

  • @TheSamuraiGoomba
    @TheSamuraiGoomba Před 7 lety +10

    She's a lot of fun, but dammit, she's just so fragile. Zero has deception, Nisha has her Law and Order tree and Celestial COM, but what does Aurelia have? Frigid Touch is great but... It's a Kill Skill. Aurelia doesn't struggle with mobs in the first place. Not too much anyway. She struggles with bosses like Eclipse, Denial Subroutine and others who don't spawn constant minions. Cryo can't freeze a lot of bosses and lots of boss either have no crit spot or have shield forms, or both.
    If Cryo wasn't as OP an element as it is (if Cryo were more on par with Slag), I kind of feel she'd be regarded as the flimsiest, if not the weakest, of the glass cannons from BL2 and TPS. I mean, Nisha is glass cannon as fuck, but her Celestial gives her life steal on par with Frigid Touch whenever she's in her action skill, which does not depend on getting kills. And that's Nisha btw! The queen of kill skills!

      I’m using her solo, and I have to work hard to keep up with the diadem. Between Bitter Riposte, Winter’s Veil, and the Action Skill, I am using less than a clip per engagement. It’s kind of OP. I love it. But I also don’t like the game to play itself. I haven’t made it to UVHM, so I’ll know then if her Action Skill is too autopilot

  • @riddarhyttan
    @riddarhyttan Před 8 lety +2

    Kinda wish they'd do something about Podsnappery, I enjoy that high risk/reward aspect with Axton since it favors an aggressive style. Not so with Aurelia unless they boost the numbers.
    Magic Bullet can be amazing when facetanking with crits as you mentioned, but it really doesn't play nice with enemy knockback, when some of the more aggressive ones leap into the fray and simply fail (unaccountably) to get frozen by your shard.
    Don't ask me to prove that some enemy movements makes them impervious to your action skill, because I can't (yet). It's true though.
    On a side note, how many incendiary barrels are there in the game? Apart from the mission-specific ones you actually _have_ to pop, all of them draining your Avalanche stacks? SMH.
    Still, lots of excellent design there, and she really is enjoyable to play.

    I'd say that if the Backhand instantly gave you like 15 of each stack, even without a servant, and if you could trigger it by slapping an enemy it'd actually synergize well and make people like her more? Or if it doubled stack gain too, or I don't know. It just doesn't synergize with much.

So I loaded her up. Wow. What a powerhouse. Super fun to play. You get so much good stuff early. She feels powerful right away. I haven’t beat the game with her, so I’ll see what TVHM & UVHM are like, one I’m done with my 1LIFE challenge. But for sure won’t be using any other Vaulter to try that, anymore.

    Question though, does the damage buff from Wait For It... apply to every pellet of the Skullmasher? I ask because you have to hit every pellet for I Never Miss otherwise you lose it yet you don't get extra stacks for hitting all shots.

    How does the accuracy formula work in this game? E.g. a doc's flayer with 56ish% accuracy at 350 stacks (+280%) of duchess would be 100% accurate? So shooting a slug basically?

  • @LongLe-nn1uz

    Nice video, but 6k out of 90k is like almost 6% basically, so either the bullet speed does affect the range of Long Range Killer or Long Range Killer is just the red text ability of the God Finger which is not that great.

      +Derch Maybe I wasnt clear. My point was that if Long Range Killer is affected so much by bullet speed that you only get 6% at the range you tested then its not that great. If it is not affected by bullet speed then its even worse.

      I think she’s very hard to kill, between Bitter Riposte, Winter’s Veil, Whiteout and Short Summer, (besides freezing everything in sight). But you can die to a barrel pretty easily.
      I’ve been attempting a 1Life challenge run, and she is for sure the most powerful and hardest to kill between her, Athena and Wilhelm, unless I slam into an unseen barrel, or one is exploded nearby suddenly. Her ability to recover is pretty bad.

      to be fair, she's also got insane health regains, but outside of the co-op tree, nothing for shield restoration, so its not entirely bad. plus its like 3 cryo shields in one, and she does well with hat.
      but, on the flipside, she's got two skills in the cryo tree that do well with really fast restoring shields, bitter riposte and winter's veil, so you'd prefer something faster.

      @@X3MCTZN I have had a blast using her Cold Money tree. I was repeatedly failing my 1Life challenge runs, using my old standbys, Athena and Wilhelm. So I tried Aurelia. Holy smokes, Cold Money tree is good. I feel powerful immediately.
      Her best solo skill is in her co-op tree, the tier 1 skill Duchess. Maxed at 2 points, it’s full time 80% accuracy. The balance of losing them if your servant dies is not an issue.
      Bitter Riposte is amazing. Great defense. Plus, you can wait for a powerful enemy to hit you, and unload once they’re frozen. The freeze effect has always procced.
      Avalanche stacks can shred. If you plan your progression, you can arrive at a boss with maxed stacks. You will have to backtrack to get everything, like Badass challenges, faraway chests. But I’ve crushed Red Belly, Bosun and Felicity by keeping moving.
      I’ve yet to beat the game 1Life. I’ve gotten as far as Vorago Solitude. Only 2 combat deaths, the rest platforming.

    I always have my grudges when it comes to Snipers in video games. Like I'm fine with them for Single and Co-op play, but in Multiplayer or pvp I freaking hate them with a passion. Just because they make zero logical sense, like Call of duty for instance i still dont understand how the whole damn quick scoping works. That's why I say screw Snipers in Multiplayer or pvp and yes to Shotguns. I'm more of Shotgun type player but always a fan of AR, Smgs, and LMGs.
    That said, i still have no clue what to spec for Aurelia at all. Generally i hate the Co-op tree because i don't play a lot Co-op plays manly because the servers are so damn poorly it doesn't run very smoothly at all. Sometime I feel like i just dont want to continue playing as Aurelia even though i have her at lvl 24 at the moment, it just the fact that I'm just gonna get down too frequently.

      Her Cold Money tree is badass. And any weapons work. Her sniper tree and co-op tree have some good stuff that can boost anything. Do Torgue-o Torgue-o early for the Torguemada. The explosive damage pairs with the Cryo, especially Bitter Riposte. At Lvl 11, do Zapped 3.0, and Nina’s Ice drill mission, for the Cryo minigun and Explosive mines shotgun. These 2 can carry you through til lvl 20, np. Between these 3 sidequest rewards, and at least 1 rank of Bitter Riposte, more than half the game is handled quite nicely.

      Wilhelm and Athena are designed with close combat in mind, and the Doppelganger is strong across the board. Claptrap can handle close combat if you juggle his Action Skill well(it restores his health, and he has a kill skill to deflect enemy bullets). At the opposite end Aurelia and Nisha are more of the Glass Cannon type of characters, though both have methods to alleviate some of that.

If there is a easier way across in Helios than the way I did it I may have to revisit the Pre Sequel.

    I would definitely argue against the Borderlands franchise being good as a co-op series. It's as bad as so many others when it comes to co-op. You either already have friends who want to play it with you (unlikely), or all your friends want to play Fifa and CoD (which is most people). You are not making friends through Borderlands as randoms are scummy people and if you aren't blessed with Borderlands friends, you're playing the game exclusively solo (like basically every other game).
    "Oh, but when you do have those friends, the game is good." - just fuck off! Any game is better with friends around. For Borderlands to be considered a good co-op game, it either needs to get so popular that EVERYONE is playing it ALL THE TIME, or it needs to develop more and better social mechanics so that you're encouraged to make more friends while playing the game.

Nisha had already gone over a similar cliff that Jack was destined for, Wilhelm really doesn't have a moral compass so I doubt he'd care either way about morality so long as he's paid, Athena was desperate for money (and also way too loyal to her employers. Remember, it took Atlas tricking her into killing her own sister to get her to betray the corporation, despite all the other evil shit it did before then), and Claptrap is just Claptrap.
