Level 70
Cyro • Critical-damage
PLAYSTYLE
Aurelia is the second DLC character of Borderlands The Pre-sequel, and she’s the only character in the entire series who has a frost and ice theme going for her. Her action skill might be one of the most fun in the entire game, and this build utilizes her frosting potential, both with her action skill, and gunplay to provide a balanced freezing experience.
With this build, your approach is pretty simple. When you start a combat encounter, activate your action skill which will send out a Diadem Shard that seeks enemies to freeze them. That’s not all though, because three of the guns chosen for this build also do cryo damage, freezing everything in your path. This is a laid-back experience, and Aurelia can basically play the game at a slower speed than every other character thanks to her freezing abilities.
SOLO
Aurelia is a great character to enjoy a solo playthrough, and this build is perfect for it. She can skate around the battlefield, freeze everything in sight, and approach enemies at her own pace. Since three of the guns do frost damage, chances are you’ll run into an enemy or boss that’s resistant to it, but fret not because that’s where the Rustler’s Flayer comes in, and does tons of damage to all enemy types.
COOP
Aurelia is an awesome character to have on the team because of her freezing potential. She basically helps the entire team because she can just freeze enemies, slow them down, and open them up for all sorts of damage from all characters. She’s just doing her own thing, and you can provide her occasional support here and there, but she doesn’t really need it. Her critical damage is tremendously boosted, making her a very hard-hitting character.
