Borderlands 4 character tier list ranks

Ranks Borderlands 4 Vault Hunters into S, A and B tiers with build links and tips

Borderlands 4 gets a practical character tier list that ranks the game’s Vault Hunters into S, A, and B tiers. Published around September 12, 2025, the guide, with no developer/publisher named, highlights Vex and Rafa as S-tier picks, places Harlowe in A, and lists Amon in B while linking to best builds for each.

The tier breakdown is short and functional, aimed at players who want a clear pick without fuss. For background on the game itself, see Borderlands 4. Those curious about the series order can consult all Borderlands games and spin-offs in order for context and chronology. The article explains what each tier means and then shows the table below, making it easy to scan before committing to a Vault Hunter.

Best characters in Borderlands 4

Tier Character
S Vex
Rafa
A Harlowe
B Amon

The guide spells out the tiers concisely. S: the highest performers. A: strong choices that may need more specific setups. B: situational picks that can work but are less flexible. The author also notes a new Vault Hunter is on the roadmap, so the list may change when that character arrives.

Vex

Vex sits at the top because of robust minion summoning and reliable survivability. Her summons soak damage and distract enemies, which frees her to control fights rather than wade in and take hits. That playstyle rewards players who set up rotations and let the summons do the work. For players wanting a ready-made plan, the best Vex build in Borderlands 4 is linked for direct reference.

Rafa

Rafa is the archetypal aggressive pick: heavy attacks, equipment mastery, and an easy mechanical loop that tears through foes. His kit makes endgame encounters feel straightforward for players who like to go loud and fast. The write-up compares that approach to shooters such as Battlefield, CS:GO, and CoD, suggesting players familiar with those games will pick Rafa up quickly. A ready-to-use option is the best Rafa build in Borderlands 4.

Harlowe

Harlowe is presented as a powerful controller with gravity and AoE tools that shred groups of enemies. Skills like Entanglement pair well with a Radiation focus to turn crowds into quick work. She excels in co-op where crowd control magnifies team damage, but her solo ceiling is described as lower than the S-tier picks. Players can follow the best Harlowe build in Borderlands 4 for a straightforward setup.

Amon

Amon lands in B because the kit is very tank-focused and less about raw damage output. He survives brutal punishment once properly specced, which makes him valuable in certain group compositions. Solo play highlights his limits: excellent staying power but reduced killing speed compared with the top picks. For those who like the tank route, the best Amon build in Borderlands 4 is provided.
