I know this video is a longer one but I really wanted to go in depth on every decision I made on this build cause behind every decision is a ton of testing. Hope you guys enjoy the full breakdown and the build
Honestly I love these longer videos where you break down all the interactions. It helps me learn more about the game and come up with my own variants of builds
I genuinely prefer this style of build video where you go into the nitty gritty of the build and interactions. As a college student I don't have a lot of time to do testing so having these videos to watch is very helpful. Great video, keep up the good work!
your guides are amazing. the amount of effort you put into really going in depth with your build videos and explaining everything is unmatched. keep up the amazing work
I enjoy watching your longer videos with in-depth explanations surrounding the game mechanics. It really helps understand more of the wonky game mechanics and why certain things actually work. Great build & vid, cant wait to try it out !
Honestly, I wish the video was even longer. Breaking down your decisions for the talents is a big help. Thank you for putting in all the hard work and time into testing so dummies like me don't have to.
Dude… I have never really been able to do any of the crazy damage on these videos, but I have this build running and I got to Wotan and freaked out a bit (first time). But the fight was over before I realised what was happening. Amazing bossing build
Your excitement is driving me to roll an Amara character. Only bought the game a few weeks ago because it was on sale on steam. So glad I found your channel. Peace.
Honestly, Amara is pretty good. She used to be my least favourite vault hunter at launch to now being my most powerful with the new gear and skill tree. Would definitely recommend trying her out.
This was the first borderlands video I watched when I bought the game! I had never played a borderlands game before and I had no idea how long it would take me to get to level 72 and start blasting through M11 to acquire everything, but I finally did last night when Evil Lilith dropped a Muse! It was so strange to finally fun the build that I first tried to back as a level 1.
Awesome build, the only skill points I might change are going 1/5 in do hard and taking the extra 3 points in alacrity to further help this guns longer reload. I feel like if you're using ties you don't need the extra power damage for mobbing, and most bosses I assume you're popping a phase cast for transcend, and thus not really getting value from do harm.
Absolutely love this build! I loved the slam witch build but this is one I'm definitely going to try next. I find amara as one of my most fun characters to play, yes she's a glass cannon but hey, you get knocked down but you get back up again and serve payback ten fold. Keep up the awesome work, your guides are always well explained and great fun to play.
The build is working nice. I made a few adjustments by going into the green tree more and nothing in the blue. and I can switch between ties that bind and the 1 shot orb with guardian angle. jab cross adds a bunch more damage with ties that bind and orb, and u get blitz with 100% melee damage.
Hey long time fan first time commenter. You have really helped me understand things with building a character and I use all your builds as a base to my own. I have only ever needed to change a few skill points to fit my play stay style. Wanted to let you know you should try the face puncher on this build if u havnt already. Not as good as the new AR but still fun.
Yup…. This build is amazing alright. Fastest clear of guardian takedown I have experienced with any character. Period. I tried Muse, Phazerker and Driver class mods and by far my favourite is the Driver. Reminds me of Zane, actually! So much fun. Really great job on this build Moxsy. By the way I enjoy the longer video because of all of the great analysis and explanations. Ha! A level 1 revolter….. neat trick!
this guy's so elaborate he is like a walking borderlands encyclopedia XD great work as always will defniitely do this build for my amara since it is simple yet wrecks a ton
Finally started playing Borderlands 3 a few months ago, and this is currently the build I have on Amara almost permanently. I just have to give her a Kensei if I'd feel like using other guns out of sheer laziness instead of respec-ing every time.
Wow dude. Kudos on this build. I just took out Hermivorous with this on Mayhem 11. Very happy with this. Used the knife drain artifact. Then it dropped a perfect Hyperion company man
Great video, Moxsy! I really appreciate all the time and explanation you put into these builds. Knowing how and why everything works the way it does really helps me play the build more effectively. It's also just genuinely interesting to know.
Now that Expedite is fixed and works with so many things, I really want to see if is possible to do a true melee/action skill hybrid build. Since Body and Mind deals so much damage and she can potentially chain kills punching everyone, at least for mobbing seems to be a nice option
Those knives it shoots would be cool as thrown weapons in the offhand. You could really work the groundbreaker boost like a pro too if they were possible to throw
My amara build was already broken asf with the face puncher lol. She was already treating everything in the game like it was a joke but this gun just takes it to a whole new level now😭 Thank you so much for the guide Moxsy!
I know it's been 2 years but I think I just found another really fun combo. Dragon com.. with ties(red tree) and stillness(blue tree) with cryo because I spec the purp frozen and cryo skills, plus splash and I've had a blast with frozen heart (while phase is activated constantly nova) just hold GA 150 over 90 watch as you might nuke. Just be careful not to nuke the grasp victim. Cheese for sure as long as you spec purp cap and wear icebreaker obviously.. fishslaps for when the gun just isn't cutting that 1 shot. Actionskill damage loop go hard.
But what if I want to do a slam style with that 300% more gun damage after slam? (Best quick "Slam" is the punch up one that leaves DoTs.) Then combine with even more Melee with a shield anoint? +200% Melee after slam on a Re-Volter. Use Cryo Action Skill, with a Radiation Boost anoint on Grenade. Also an Ice Breaker Relic. (Planetoid / white elephant might be best.) That seems like a good combo to me. All big elements covered, tons of damage, and lots of Melee skills being proc-ed.
Great guide and build is awesome and puts out some serious damage, but can someone explain the mechanics of how he melted the Seeker so quickly in the opening scene?
I found a way to shove the blade fury into zane zerker build you made it allows me to fill my ammo while I Regen it (if I can get the anointed Digi clone ammo Regen perk on it) with a cut purse artifact let's my friends run all the rockets and sandhawks they want defintily try this out moxsy
Love the video I've built the Houdini and unleash the dragon with spiritual driver but my survivability is really low, I'm absolutely blowing everything up so damage is insane but my health is permanently going down
I did something similar before the latest vault card, but I went down to Jab Cross with a +5 Jab Cross Breaker Class Mod for some survivability (since the +3 Muse doesn't exist in game). Definitely testing it with a +3 Mindfulness Driver next!
Pro tip, frozen heart shield will freeze enemies all around you.. frozen enemies take massive melee damage. Now slap on a cryo melee relic w/ additional melee and mag size.. Its a constant 2-300% extra damage on those frozen enemies. Now re roll the frozen hearts anoint until you get the ASStart version, and you'll be popping off massive insta freeze. Use phasecast and have the rifle anointed with 250 phasecast.. Honestly you can't go wrong and always have frozen melee boosts.
I'm loving this build and having fun with it already, now I'm hunting for decent-rolled gear and have stumbled upon a problem: the level 1 Re-Volter. Just letting it drop and going to a Lost Loot with a level 1 character didn't do the trick. I had farmed and letting lie on the ground 4 Re-Volters, my friend waited in Sanctuary. I joined their lobby and created a new, fresh level 1 character, activated the lost loot and got... lvl 37 Re-Volters, which was the level of my friend's character. Can anyone tell me where we went wrong? Or give a detailed explanation on how to get a level 1 Re-Volter?
Propably because your friend hosted the session. Try using it to teleport to Sanctuary, leave the session and start your own with your level 1 char hopefully in Sanctuary, then open the lost loot crate.
They may have patched since I tested, and I just didn't notice, but you don't need to be doing fire damage to proc Unleash the Dragon, just doing melee. You can proc the burn off of Corrosive, Cold, etc.
You need to be doing fire damage to proc the elemental crit hit 500% anoint because it needs to match the element of the dot we are exploding (fire). But to apply the dot ya you can use any element.
@@Moxsy Ah, I wasn't aware of that interaction. That's an oddly specific thing the Annoint doesn't mention; I wonder if that's why I've had some problems with experimental builds in the past... Thanks, Moxsy, good looking out.
So I'm running a variant of this on my newly 72 Amara and am using the Frozen Snowshoe and I may have found a glitch: occasionally if you hit the target, it creates this Atomic Bomb of novas on the target that just melts health bars...idk if this has been found by the community before, but it's freaky and hilarious
Good job with these guides! You should try to get some sort of timestamps in the description for gear, skills etc. tho, makes it easier for lazy people like me to copy them.. :)
I assume the Revolter is just better than the Brawler Ward? You had it equipped in the beginning of the video but never went into it so I'm a bit unsure
Hi, @Moxsy, Can't wait to try this build out. I've just started playing BL3 with my bro so we're at the beginning of the game. So im wondering if there's any guides\build for beginners of what skills\passives to prioritize first in terms of the best dmg boost?
In all these Amara melee(facepuncher ot this one) builds i can't understand one thing. How to deal with alone bosses? Damage is great only a few seconds after kill (when trigger kill skills). But, on boss areans most time there are no mobs exept boss and damage is low.
I know this video is a longer one but I really wanted to go in depth on every decision I made on this build cause behind every decision is a ton of testing. Hope you guys enjoy the full breakdown and the build
Long videos = more content so I'm all for it!
I know I prefer longer videos. When are you and K6, Thiic and Joltz gonna jam again? Haven't seen anything since Arms first dropped.
I love when you explain every bit of a build/interaction, if you could do that every video would be amazing!
Honestly I love these longer videos where you break down all the interactions. It helps me learn more about the game and come up with my own variants of builds
I actually really enjoyed the more in depth explanation for this build
I genuinely prefer this style of build video where you go into the nitty gritty of the build and interactions. As a college student I don't have a lot of time to do testing so having these videos to watch is very helpful. Great video, keep up the good work!
Same af
your guides are amazing. the amount of effort you put into really going in depth with your build videos and explaining everything is unmatched. keep up the amazing work
Thank you thank you 😊
Seconded! Proves again if you don't math you can't game!
I'm glad that it's longer. I would much rather have more detail. If someone has the attention span of a mayfly they can just skip through it.
On top of that he's been doing content on the game since day mother fucking one, what a king.
I enjoy watching your longer videos with in-depth explanations surrounding the game mechanics. It really helps understand more of the wonky game mechanics and why certain things actually work. Great build & vid, cant wait to try it out !

Was probably one of my favorite videos to watch, love the new item, love the explanations, and really enjoyed watching things vanish.
Ayy thank you!
The minute I saw this gun I couldn't wait for your inevitable badass build around it. You rock
Dude… I have never really been able to do any of the crazy damage on these videos, but I have this build running and I got to Wotan and freaked out a bit (first time). But the fight was over before I realised what was happening. Amazing bossing build

This video really helps a lot to understand Amara and mechanism of this game.
I really enjoy the in-depth build videos that give more behind the scenes on how the game actually works
It was nice to see the with/without skill points comparisons. Thanks for putting in the time. :)

Moxsy: Believe it or not, this gun does actually splash damage!
Everyone: Amara OP!
Me (in Moze's voice): Let's kick'em in the dick!
Awesome build, the only skill points I might change are going 1/5 in do hard and taking the extra 3 points in alacrity to further help this guns longer reload.

I hope they don't nerf this gun it's most fun I had on bl3 in awhile
I recently got back into BL3 and I can say with the utmost pride that this build is still alive. 5M+ per projectile on Mayhem 11.
I just switched from khaos queen build and it is ridiculous how much dmg it does
I don't know why i destroy all the trashmobs and on some bosses i don't do any damage... 😢
I just finished farming/gathering the gear for this build and it frickin rocks! Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this video!
how do you get the level 1 shield?
@@soulreaper7200you can possibly get one through a diamond key and having someone or an alt at level one and make sure it’s on cooperative
Hey long time fan first time commenter. You have really helped me understand things with building a character and I use all your builds as a base to my own. I have only ever needed to change a few skill points to fit my play stay style. Wanted to let you know you should try the face puncher on this build if u havnt already.

Yup…. This build is amazing alright. Fastest clear of guardian takedown I have experienced with any character. Period. I tried Muse, Phazerker and Driver class mods and by far my favourite is the Driver. Reminds me of Zane, actually! So much fun. Really great job on this build Moxsy. By the way I enjoy the longer video because of all of the great analysis and explanations. Ha! A level 1 revolter….. neat trick!
Ayy that’s awesome to hear
The Amara passion is very evident. Love this vid
this guy's so elaborate he is like a walking borderlands encyclopedia XD
great work as always
will defniitely do this build for my amara since it is simple yet wrecks a ton
HEYYYY MY IDEA WORKKKEDDD thx moxsyyyy! Love the build so muchhhhhhh🤟🏾
Finally started playing Borderlands 3 a few months ago, and this is currently the build I have on Amara almost permanently. I just have to give her a Kensei if I'd feel like using other guns out of sheer laziness instead of respec-ing every time.
My Dude, Im a Fl4k main but I cant miss out on this one 😍
I love the level of detail and getting to see why things work.
Wow dude. Kudos on this build. I just took out Hermivorous with this on Mayhem 11. Very happy with this. Used the knife drain artifact. Then it dropped a perfect Hyperion company man
Great video, Moxsy! I really appreciate all the time and explanation you put into these builds. Knowing how and why everything works the way it does really helps me play the build more effectively. It's also just genuinely interesting to know.
I have a Driver with Jacobs Crit and AR Dmg! So glad it's a Jacobs AR cuz I have so much good gear for them.
Love the in depth builds! Keep em coming
I have been waiting all day hoping you would put out this built, can't wait to try it when I get home.
Currently running a triple projectile build on Zane based off of some of your builds love seeing how the different damage works
Now that Expedite is fixed and works with so many things, I really want to see if is possible to do a true melee/action skill hybrid build. Since Body and Mind deals so much damage and she can potentially chain kills punching everyone, at least for mobbing seems to be a nice option
definitely prefer these longer videos dude, i love knowing how shit works in pairs and such, cant wait to try this one myself :)
I didn't even know there was a third card till this vid, let alone a whole new build. This could be fun. Cheers for all the hours you put in dude.
Those knives it shoots would be cool as thrown weapons in the offhand. You could really work the groundbreaker boost like a pro too if they were possible to throw
I have been anxiously awaiting this video
currently im using the slam witch build u made for now to level up my VC and also clear TVHM. haha lots of fun so im very grateful...
My amara build was already broken asf with the face puncher lol. She was already treating everything in the game like it was a joke but this gun just takes it to a whole new level now😭 Thank you so much for the guide Moxsy!
I rolled a 100% Melee Damage ASE masher which is absolute nuts.
I know it's been 2 years but I think I just found another really fun combo.

Just bought this game on Back Friday and chose Amara, Thank you for this. Subbed.
250 phasecast increases both the gun damage and melee damage portion
Dude I love your analysis and it is awesome that I came up with a similar theory with equivalent results! Length isn’t bad!
Love these kinds of videos ❤
Dude, I've had a 63% melee, 40% assault rifle Muse forever. You're the best
Oops, I meant driver. My muse is less nuts lol
I never skip your build videos anyways! So much to learn for your videos
Love those explosions. Torgue would approve, whilst also complaining that there aren't enough explosions.
Loved the gear breakdown! I prefer this to the shorter build videos, but thats just me
The name of the build and head are perfect it feels like wonderlands already. Great video as usual Moxsy!
Is his head a mod?
Moxsy no one knows this game like you dude. 👍🏻
But what if I want to do a slam style with that 300% more gun damage after slam? (Best quick "Slam" is the punch up one that leaves DoTs.)
Then combine with even more Melee with a shield anoint? +200% Melee after slam on a Re-Volter.

That seems like a good combo to me. All big elements covered, tons of damage, and lots of Melee skills being proc-ed.
Finally an Amara build that can smash Hemo! Moxsy, amazing as always!
Facepuncher melee amara smash hemo easily fyi
@@eddyalfa1 I have facepunchers but at the time I didn’t have the equipment that I have now so you are probably 100% correct on this
Facepuncher got nerfed a while back. This new gun is even better than facepuncher used to be using the same God roll gear.
Amara actually holds the record for fastest Hemo kill
This takes me back to the Face puncher amara. Love it.
Been waiting for this video!
Dude. Been playing this lately and it slapssssss. Great fun build!
I think I found my new Amara build truly great content as always
I been waiting for this !
Looks absolutely bonkers. I just got a few new games, but they're gonna have to wait while I try this out. Super cool stuff.
I've been waiting for this build🥰
Appreciate all the info Moxsy. I got shit to do but, like you, I wanna be the best in BL3 too. Thx
Just found this one, I’m using Kensei and blade fury, however I’m built into orb/cryo. I’m seeing numbers upwards of 160M.
Nice breakdown i would like more in depth videos like this ✌🏻
Amaras gonna kick serious ass with this gun bro👊
Great video mox🤘
This is what I've been running on amara (my own variant) and I've got Terror annointment God rolls for my build, it's absolutely busted lmao
Cant get the lvl 1 revolter to drop when checking the lost loot
Great guide and build is awesome and puts out some serious damage, but can someone explain the mechanics of how he melted the Seeker so quickly in the opening scene?
can you go a little more in depth with lvl 1 revolter? I'm still confused
You know it's gonna be a good video when there are two intros
I found a way to shove the blade fury into zane zerker build you made it allows me to fill my ammo while I Regen it (if I can get the anointed Digi clone ammo Regen perk on it) with a cut purse artifact let's my friends run all the rockets and sandhawks they want defintily try this out moxsy
Love this build! Thank you so much for this
I use a snowdrift static charge but a snowdrift victory rush would be cool too
Love the video I've built the Houdini and unleash the dragon with spiritual driver but my survivability is really low, I'm absolutely blowing everything up so damage is insane but my health is permanently going down

Looks like the spirit of gamebreaker lives on
As a Zane main, driver is just Zane lite and I love it

Okay, gonna give this build a go. Got every equipment EXCEPT a +3 Muse. (still grinding my teeth looking for one)
Easily one of the sickest guns and sickest builds
@Moxsy have you noticed, that personal space has actually INCREASED the melee damage, which was split from the infusion!?
Honestly really appreciate the depth of this one. I would've massively screwed up how I build around this gun if you didn't explain it so well
Is it still possible to roll melee damage on the spiritual driver ?
They may have patched since I tested, and I just didn't notice, but you don't need to be doing fire damage to proc Unleash the Dragon, just doing melee. You can proc the burn off of Corrosive, Cold, etc.

Digi clone grease trap combo is still my favorite build
So I'm running a variant of this on my newly 72 Amara and am using the Frozen Snowshoe and I may have found a glitch: occasionally if you hit the target, it creates this Atomic Bomb of novas on the target that just melts health bars...idk if this has been found by the community before, but it's freaky and hilarious
I believe that’s from the elemental crit anoint
The first thing I thought when I saw the new amara head was, ricochet witch
Good job with these guides! You should try to get some sort of timestamps in the description for gear, skills etc. tho, makes it easier for lazy people like me to copy them.. :)
Might try a terror version with 2 blade fury’s, spiritual driver, and the phasegrasp.
Bruh! This build is INSANE! Hell of a set up dude!
I assume the Revolter is just better than the Brawler Ward? You had it equipped in the beginning of the video but never went into it so I'm a bit unsure
After a year, still using this build
Not sure if anyone is aware, but this gun also ignores invincibility phases on bosses as well. Don’t think to many people have discovered it yet.
Not all bosses, only a few.
I Love the new into! Much more relaxing.
Simply awesome!
Hi, @Moxsy, Can't wait to try this build out. I've just started playing BL3 with my bro so we're at the beginning of the game. So im wondering if there's any guides\build for beginners of what skills\passives to prioritize first in terms of the best dmg boost?
