About
A hero born in the slums of Partali, Amara is most at home on the battlefield or in a brawl. Never content to stand idly by, she uses her Siren abilities, to smash oppressors and dismantle her foes. While in her Phasetrance, she channels her Siren energy to form powerful arms that can shoot blasts of force or crush enemies in their grip. Brash, aggressive, and self-assured, Amara doesn’t let anything stand in her way.
Gifted with powerful Siren abilities, Amara is a renowned champion of the people and bonafide badass. Using her action skills she can Phaseslam the ground to damage nearby enemies and knock them into the air, Phasegrasp enemies in place with a giant ethereal fist, or even Phasecast an astral projection of herself that deals damage to everything in its path.
DESCRIPTION
Amara, the Siren, is one of the playable characters in Borderlands 3. As her class states, she is 1 of the 6 sirens in the Borderlands universe. Amara is different from the previous sirens we got to play. She is a fast pace character that can really get into the face of your enemies. Her abilities will let you control the combat or get the advantage point while slamming your way through the combat zones. Unlike Zane, Amara’s game changers will let augment all of her action skills. This way you can choose to pick up abilities from one tree and still spec into a different action skill. If you liked playing Maya in Borderlands 2 than Amara can be a cool character for you since one of her action skills is also has the ability to lock enemies in place. Of course, Phasegrasp comes with new augmentations that let you beat up your opponents.
