- One Punch Amara, a build to relieve stress by smashing your fists very hard into the faces of various enemies. Built for the highest one-tap potential and able to easily melt through any raid boss you may throw at it, this build is the go-to for doing it all. With your fists.

So the +3 Muse might not be able to drop offline anymore, though I haven't actually checked to confirm myself. If you do want a +3 though, I personally have a couple stashed that I can send out and there's plenty of people in the Discord that would probably be more than willing as well. Apologies for the potentially incorrect info!
Hey, if you have any of these, that'd be awesome. Was already building something like this when I saw your vid, killer stuff. All I'm missing now is the brawler ward and the op muse lol
@@autumnwitchmaple If you're on PC, I have a download to the save in my discord where you could take them from. Otherwise shoot me an @ in there and I can send you them through the mail.
Is there a different mod that can roll +3 illuminated fist and works well enough, or are Amara melee builds reliant on something that’s been phased out? I was just about to pick this game up on pc because I was excited to finally see a melee build that doesn’t primarily use guns
@@amyyost7022 Only the Muse could roll with it, however as good as +3 Illuminated Fist is, it's completely unrequired. It is a huge boost over a normal +1, but a +1 works perfectly fine and will be able to do everything this build can do with a +3. More than that, Melee Amara has been around since long before the Muse even existed, so really the class mod as a whole isn't required, though I do still find it to the best option.
@@arachnica_ Fair enough. I obviously don’t know the game or how viable anything is, but I feel like every melee build I’ve seen either doesn’t use melee, or has since been patched, so I was always under the impression that melee builds just weren’t viable past a certain point. Excited to hear that I was wrong, and that there’s a discord with a save if I end up unhappy with the build without a +3 muse
Bro just appeared on my feed and showed me the exact build I've always tried to make. Thank you!
Heck yes! This is exactly the build I wanted to try! Seems like the perfect timing! 💣💣💣💥
Appreciate the build every other melee amara I found was pretty much a gun build so im very happy to have found this
Oh Yeahhhh! This is what I'm looking for
Just started watching this, but quick nod to the intro phaseslam/tune drop audio sync 💥
Nice touch 👌🏾 👏🏾 👍🏽 🙌🏾 😎
Outstanding content. Worth noting is that when specced into Cold Hearted, Anima is actually fully inactive. Not that it matters much here just good to know
Glad to see you using the Brawler Ward, not very many builds I see use it. What about the Breaker class mod? Never see that in a build but I've used it twice in my builds and I find it strong
Breaker is incredibly good as long as you get that point in Find Your Center. It's pretty much the only other option for melee builds, and does definitely still hold up. It's just definitely still weaker than a Muse, even with only 1 point into illuminated fist.
Breaker com is my favorite to use with a melee Amara. I've tried the brawler ward but it wasn't my cup of tea. The shield that works best imo is the Elementalist Embers Blaze
Hi. Thanks for your very comprehensive guide. Just a question. Doesn't heavy rain only boost gun splash damage or is the description just poorly worded.
Thanks again.
The description is poorly worded, as it is with a lot of skills in this game, though especially Amara's lol. It's just a straight up overall splash damage increase. I'd recommend checking out Lootlemon for more accurate descriptions of skills.
How would you feel about using a Re-Volter ASS over the Brawler Ward? It boosts all of your damage nicely, including action skills.
Frozen Heart ASS would be very good too because of how easily you freeze stuff and get bonus damage.
bro its so boring to farm eridium to reroll the annoints + i dont have gear to farm easily
I'm interested in how you find mindfulness's recharge delay affect using a roid shield? I kind of thought that vigor might be the better option for movement speed when trying to keep the shield down, since it seems to proc from melee kills as well as phaseslam kills. Just curious if you have more thoughts on why mindfulness is the preferred movement speed skill.
Both work well, but Mindfulness feels like it more consistently is giving me more speed than Vigor. Of course, this depends on Vigor stacks with Vigor having higher potential, but since you're really up in the faces of enemies Mindfulness is almost always stacked as you're almost always taking damage. And since you're always taking damage, your shield recharge delay doesn't matter.
Amara seems cool. I started off as amara but im thinking of switchi g to moze but i dont know. The only reason i wanna switch is becsuse some bosses fly or are just nit in ground so amara abilities dont help idk which to choose.
I'd suggest grabbing a Facepuncher or Blade Fury if you haven't already. Even with true melee I tend to carry one around specifically for flying enemies or FFYL.
Oh this is awesome! Do you have any kind of hybrid build?
I actually sort of do! Cold Snap is a Kensei Amara build which I've showcased on this channel previously. It's mostly gun/splash damage focused to really abuse Unweave The Rainbow as hard as possible, but because I do spec a few melee skills to get more out of the Kensei damage it actually does work as a pseudo-hybrid build decently well. It's not built to be one and there is probably better options out there, but it could definitely be used as a good starting point.
I just started playing this game and picked Amara because of her melee potential. I somehow made my own melee build with skill trees and everything else but I don’t know anything about equipment so I’m going to try your suggestions and see if these work on my build too.
PS: why is Phaseslam so underwhelming ? 💀
Phazeslam is actually rly nice but unfortunately you need to do so much to make it amazing
Phaseslam is mainly used for blue tree remnant procs against high hp bosses
Would a +3 illuminated muse como get flagged as cheated if i were to spawn one in using gibbed and would the be safe to distribute?
BL3 has an *incredibly* lax sanity check, as in pretty much none at all. You can easily spawn in and distribute guns with like 8 red texts if you really wanted to. So yeah, you'll be good.
Anyway I can get a muse please
well I still haven’t seen one of those +3 yet so if anyone gets one and wouldn’t mind helping me out, I’m playing on pc and would appreciate it
Could I just clarify on the static charge - did I hear you right, I don't have to actually slide to proc shock damage on every melee?
Yeah, it's not at all necessary to. Only thing the slide gets is bonus damage on the slide itself while your melee will always get the bonus damage and chain.
Thanks@@arachnica_! 1 more question, which phaseflare augment do you use? And if it's the vanilla one, how many times do you melee the flare before throwing it at a boss?
@@xBlueWinter I just use the base. Usually with how my current build is I can slap it only once as two hits will pop it, but one hit loads it with more than enough damage to take out pretty much anything.
Ah I was trying to figure out why my flare pops when I try to push it towards the enemy 😅😅 Thanks for the replies and this video guide ❤️ loving the build so far!
I'd move one point from Anima to infusion, for doubling body and mind with FP. Do you happen to know if eternal fist works with the grenade regen anoint? I was thinking of turning this into a fish slap build
This is a true melee build, though. Facepuncher and Fish Slap are not melee. They are just a gun and grenade that scales off of melee damage i.e not actual melee. Both of those items should have never existed, tbh.
@@theobell2002 FP for flying enemies and the option to use it. Of course there is no need, but you barely lose anything. I agree that both of these are stupid, but a melee build would be literally unplayable for big portions of the game without it. Just too many flying thing. So I rather have the option to use an fp than to give up on a melee build.
@@fabianschultz You can actually complete the entirety of BL3 without ever shooting a gun.. including Carnivora. It's been done before.
But I get your point.
@@theobell2002Facepumcher and Fishslap are 1000% melee. It quite literally says on the item cards "deals melee damage"
@@theobell2002no it hasn't. Not a single person has beat Bl3 without shooting
I'm currently under the impression that if Amara's action skill is attuned to cryo then the skill Anima doesn't work and is considered bugged. Did they ever get around to fixing that? If not then those 5 points are wasted imo if you plan to make her skill cryo.
Yeah, they are completely wasted, though they're pretty much wasted no matter where they go in that first row. I spec Anima just because it offers the most since there are times when I'm not specced cryo.
How would I go about getting a +3 illuminated fist muse on the ps version of bl3?
Apparently, it's actually been fully patched out, so there's no way to get it without trading. If you wanna pop into the discord though there are usually people willing to send some over, myself included.
@@arachnica_Alright, I'll try that thanks
I just have one question;
How. The fuck. Did you get the ball to track Wotan up on the pillar?
Fuckin luck lmao. I was shocked when I got that clip.
all my brawler wards ive been getting dont have anoints and it wont let me put one on there is there a way to get one?
Mayhem 10/11 guarantees anointments. The only way to "legitimately" get a low-level anointed one is to have it drop on m10/11 and save quit without picking it up. Then you'll need a friend to be on Sanctuary and to join their game while on a level 1 character, go to the lost loot, and when it drops out from there it'll be level 1 and anointed. Be sure they're on cooperation so the lost loot is actually active, and clear out your lost loot before starting the farm just to be safe.
@@arachnica_ ok i got it thanx dood love the vid have a good day
Does this build work with the phasezerker or death's blessing?
Both of those class mods give gun damage, which won't really do much for a true melee build. If you're looking for an alternative to the Muse though, try getting a Breaker with +1 in Find Your Center.
@arachnica_ thank you! The Muse is such a pain to farm & I just got a bunch of Breakers from loot the universe. I can at least equip one of those until I find a decent Muse. I had found a Phasezerker with melee damage so I wasn't sure if that would help.
I just don't get how you deal so much damage with the sphere ability, the one you punch to the enemy, I replicated your build and my damage is absolutely hilarious 🤡, any help?
Orb should be doing a lot just as is with a punch, but the most important thing to making it deal raid-boss-exploding damage is the guardian angel and 200% orb damage anointment. If you aren't on mayhem 10/11, that will also be a hit to the potential bullshittery that orb can dump out due to not getting as high of mayhem scaling. I can't really give you specific advice since I don't know exactly what's going on, though if you wanted to pop in the discord and send a clip I could maybe help you out better. You could also check out part 4 of my Ultimate Amara Guide which goes over damage formulas for her action skills.
@@arachnica_ oh man thanks for your answer, I'm dumb, I was missing the 200% orb damage thing, I will try to get that, my bad
@@PCG117 No problem, it's what I'm here for lol
you forgot to mention the unleash the dragon for artifacts, even without 500% nova it still does pretty stupid dots
I actually have one on this save, I just completely forgot to mention it. It's especially good with 150/90 since the DOT scales off the initial hit, so you can get some pretty solid damage out of it.
@@arachnica_ yeah it can do stupid stuff especially with some points into dot damage
Whats about "unleash the dragon"? I like this artifact
Very good artifact, just doesn't synergize with 300/90 as well as just front-loading damage. I usually still have one in my backpack just in case, but don't usually switch to it for this specific build.
does anyone know if what he said about getting the +3 illuminated first is still true? I’ve been farming for a while and so far nothing
You have to make sure you load up the game without an internet connection. It should still work since the change never made it into an actual patch.
@@arachnica_ guess I’ve just been unlucky then, either that or airplane mode isn’t enough of a disconnected internet lol, thank you!
@@arachnica_Hi I've been doing the exact same thing that you told me to you but I still haven't gotten the 3+ class mod yet and I've been farming for 4 hours now.
i can send you one if you want. whats your shift?
@@null3rr0rrdo you think you can also be able to send me one?
Phase slam melee dmg and ase melee do not stack I tested this very thoroughly so I would just go for phase slam
After more testing I lied they do stack you just have to have the ase melee on your stabber
Wouldn't Root to Rise be better than Clarity? According to lootlemon, Clarity is based on missing health so it has diminishing returns. I feel like 40% max health is better considering you already have % health recovery form the Ward and form Samsara. Also, you often heal to full because of Ebb and Flow, so I think having higher max health would make better use of that. It also raises the value of Guardian Angel if you do put the one point into it.
I've tried both, and honestly just find that max health increases in endgame feel practically useless and stacking the health regen felt way better, though you are absolutely correct in everything you've said. The problem is just that at endgame, enemies do so much damage that your health bar is pretty much going to be jumping up and down instantly no matter how much HP you have. While you do gain more regen from having higher max hp, I never felt Samsara + Root to Rise was stronger healing than Samsara + Clarity.
Max health isn't as useful since mayhem 10. Many enemies deal enough damage to one shot you either way. The main way survival in endgame functions is through healthgating which is a mechanic where you can't get one shot as long as you're above 50% health and if that threshold get's broken you get immunity for a moment. So the main goal is to get above that threshhold asap.
A good survival option especially for flak (as he has no great healing options in his tree) is to use a lucky dice and health regen on artifact or classmod it lowers your max health by 75% and the health regen on gear is absolute value meaning you jump above healthgate very fast.
@@fabianschultz People said the same thing in BL2 and they couldn't be more wrong. Yes, in cases for raid bosses max health is bad (since they take all your health in 1 swing anyway) but in terms of mobbing health stacking is very effective. I've been running a Plus Ultra Stone Amara build and I can't say I share your experience as I can withstand a lot of damage. Abusing health gate is more dangerous in a mobbing environment since you're far more susceptible to getting 2-shot.
@@theobell2002 i found the lucky dice thingy to not be too great as well. For me it depends. I usually don’t struggle too much without and prefer doing more damage or having more regen over max health, but lowering the max health felt bad. I also have 600 spent guardian tokens so theres definitely some help from there. At some point it feels wasted to me
Great vid, terrible audio. Needs equalization. All the same, I'm very grateful for your upload!
Why dont you use the "unleash the dragon" artifact?
As the name implies, this build is focused more on frontloaded damage to abuse 150/90 as best as it can. Unleash The Dragon is an amazing artifact for a lot of melee builds, but it's not always the best.
@@arachnica_ thanks for the explanation.
Love the build but I don't see myself farming offline
It doesn't drop anymore. even offline. But a +1 Muse or a breaker still do the trick.
Wait, so do I need to hit the orb with the pscyho stabber to apply the melee damage or does it just scale off your melee damage?
You do want to hit the orb with the Psycho Stabber. When the orb is summoned it has a set base damage that only scales from action skill and splash damage bonuses. When you hit it, it takes in some of the damage dealt to it within that melee hit which then sorta becomes part of the melee damage.
If you're interested in more details about it, I cover it in-depth in this video czcams.com/video/OAXaJbTvP1I/video.html
@@arachnica_ thank you king
@@arachnica_ wait so, would a psycho stabber with the orb anoint be best for bossing??
@@drako9267 Generally you want a different anointment on your psychostabber just so it can be better used in the rest of the game, but if you're literally just using it for orb then yeah, you could. I'd recommend getting the orb anointment on a guardian angel though as swapping to that will just give orb even stupider damage.
i used to always use this build against my wife!
To bad she never respawned
She never activated the new-u station
😂
Cringe. Domestic violence ain't funny.
@@theobell2002 too bad so sad
is there a reason that when i melee the orb it doesnt fly forward????
it may have just been the area i was trying to use it in for the very first time that it doesnt work in??? idk man, i tried it during killavolt for the first time ever and may have just chosen the one place it doesnt work LOL unlucky
@@aazhasdda Yeah orb can be kind of goofy sometimes. It can get stuck in floors and on walls, and doesn't really seem to have a consistent way to avoid it. Sometimes it's better to cast it while in the air to avoid it spawning in the floor, sometimes casting it in the air is what will cause it to stick in the floor. I try to look at it as the balancing factor to what is realistically one of the most busted action skills in the game lol.
@@arachnica_ thats fair, i also noticed the stuck in the floor aspect of it pretty quickly, even without it working properly on killavoltm, him just being in its AOE absolutely MELTED him. it was kind of surprising lmao. im excited to fully check your build out more when i get to 72 and start building it out with your suggested items!
i straight up cant use this build lmao. cant even take out borman nates for the psycho stabber. i have a face puncher with 200% orb damage and i still die before I can even get a kill skill active 😂
just got a 150/90 psycho stabber and its no better. wtf am i doing wrong. +2 muse, 150/90 psycho stabber, lvl 50 brawler ward, static charge, fish slap grenade, 200% orb damage face puncher. what in the actual fuck else do i need to clear any fucking thing. i literally cant run through pandora without dying instantly and when i do connect a hit it does literally nothing. phaseslam knocks enemies back and does less than 25% of their lifebars. im damn near done with this game dude idk wtf im doing so wrong that i literally cant do basic fucking content
@@yuhboiib9022 Are you using the same skill tree as shown in the video? If not, send me what you are using. You can use this site to input it and then just paste the URL in a reply www.lootlemon.com/class/amara .
Also what level are you and what difficulty are you playing on?
@arachnica_ im using the exact same skill tree. i triple checked and everything is the same. im lvl 72 playing on mayhem 11
@@yuhboiib9022 If you've got gear, anointments, and skills all the same, then I'm honestly at a loss as to what the problem could be outside of piloting the build. Make sure you're activating slam initially when you engage to activate your anointments and such, and then it should be smooth sailing from there.
If you wanna pop in the Discord and send a clip, I could maybe give you some better suggestions. Feel free to @ me if you do.
@arachnica_ im using a phasezerker build rn that can clear pretty much anything but i do wanna try melee amara again so when i respec ill join the discord for some help, thanks brother sorry for the angry rant lmao i just couldn't figure out what i was doing wrong
This build is PC only
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. This should work just as well on console. If you're talking about harder access to the +3 muse, you can still use just a +1 muse or a Find Your Center Breaker instead. If you do want the +3 muse though, there's usually people in my discord (or other borderlands discords, really) willing to send some out.
My dad be using the exact same build on me! Its so broken 😡
My grandma didn't stand a chance when I used this build irl
