I had a melee build amara. With the right gear, up until mayhem 6 you can one-shot pretty much anything less than a raid-boss (you need like 10 punches for those or something if I remember). Her skill tree allows for insane regen on melee and action skill, so that's just perfect. Good luck and have fun dude, I think it's one of the most fun ways to play the game.
Asking the age-old question: Can you beat Borderlands 3 without shooting guns? Most Melee runs in BL3 use the Facepuncher or the Blade Fury since they do Melee Damage. But not me. I'm a glutton for punishment.
I’m still playing this game. Been at it since release with only really a break for Hades. No shot Amara is maybe my favorite play through. I regularly punch one guy and kill several guys next to him. It’s really amazingly fun and perhaps the second best melee in a borderlands game. Melee focused Athena in TPS was also a great implementation, hard to compare.
Doesn't she have that one skill at the end that green skill tree that is like a modified melee punch? Also you can remap the controls so that right trigger or R2 is used for melee.
One fun thing to do as a melee only character is to bind your melee to your Shoot button. I play on PC so it's a bit different, but it feel like I have so much control over the actual melee swing. So it is easier to readjust your aim after you already used your Melee to hit someone with the lingering hurtbox.
Hey K6, I’m the person that said they had to shovel snow yesterday in chat. To answer your question, Western Canada. We got an early snowstorm blow in. Also it yesterday was the first time I got to watch one of your livestreams…well live.
I honestly like seeing the deaths since it reinforces that this is challenging, but you could definitely convince chat to let you turn guardian rank on. It would help a lot during those fight for your life's, but I'm not smart enough to know if that'd make the game too easy.
Spark plug static charge, phasecast and frozen heart. Cast, slam, punch. Cast, punch, slam. Dead. Cast builds up so much groundbreaker and when you slam it procs groundbreaker and one shots most. Phasegrasp is really good for melee. Melee doesn't transfer damage thru ties but it does transfer elemental damage and she has that in her tree. I had to use FP for ffyl and flying enemies. Ive done ALL content in the game with that build Stone Swan has some "true" melee builds on his channel. Its possible but its tough.
Rough rider should actually count as both full and depleted at the same time, as it's been seen keeping both effects active. However, it doesn't count as "active" for those effects. So full and depleted but never active. Weird shield, great for regen- melee builds.
Curious to see where this goes and how you build it at end game. I tried doing this about a year ago and couldn't figure out how to get enough damage at Mayhem 11. When I tried looking up builds it was all abusing purple tree face puncher or a bugged class mod that can't drop anymore.
I know this may be a few years outdated to ask but can you make an amara leveling guide? All of the old ones are from when max level was 50 and/or not up to date with how she is currently. 🙏
It’s rough to choose between watching the stream here or Twitch, but I’ll opt for Twitch even though the app to me is a dumpster fire. Also I’m a little more regular than I have been in the past!
Unfortunately for me when you start streaming live that's when I'm doing my gaming so I can't watch your streams easily and when I do it will be my first k6 stream because I just recently got slightly better internet
Why not just go into the controller settings and remove the ability to shoot? If you can't remove it, at least put it to a button you wouldn't be using on your controller.
@@Ki11ersix please prove me wrong my friend, I am awaiting, if you manage to do the takedowns on mayhem 11 without any melee gun I'll be thoroughly impressed
Only the first rule should be applied. We all know how godlike K6's aim is. He has never missed a shot. EVER.
NOPE
All due to that awesome editor :)
Every shot you don’t take, you never miss.

I was there, man!! "Fister Sister" 4 LYFE!!
That should go down in the books with buffmilf😂
“Hey guys, don’t take that out of context, please?” - K6
soooo many out of context moments.
This was fun to watch live!
they fixed the rough rider so it counts as depleted and full at the same time
Yeah found that out after a bit
@@Ki11ersixcould give Zane some effects, potentially
Doesn't she have that one skill at the end that green skill tree that is like a modified melee punch? Also you can remap the controls so that right trigger or R2 is used for melee.
Yeah, I'm gonna capstone green tree. I tried unbinding my trigger, but so far I haven't messed up and shot anyone, so I think I got this.
Love to see a melee playthrough!!
Great stuff (yet again) thanks for sharing
Appreciate you bro!

good stuff man, caught you doing some of this on the youtubes! its stabbin time!
thanks dude!
A thing you could do that I do for melee runs is change the button input for melee and shooting so trigger is melee

Stone Swan is really good.
"Come on an' SLAM!" every time you use Phaseslam just tickles me pink.
I actually edited a few out. The Members Only Alec Cut has more and more footage.
Idea, maybe swap the melee and shoot buttons to help avoid gunning any enemies down
This should be fun to watch because I can see a lot of deaths happening as it's k6

Yeah, figured it out eventually. Thanks man.
oh yea I've been waitin on this one
This was the first k6 stream I have ever been to.
Thanks for watching!
Yeah, thats gonna be a lot of fishes thrown^^
The best solution to bad aim, just smack everything instead
I did a melee Amara built once, with the right gear you can punch with all the elements doing crazy damage.
Yes indeed. Gonna save my ass
K6 just be glad that there's nothing in arms race that does major melee damage or else that death number would be very high
For the record, Amara would have a shot with me. 😏
I'm doing a melee amara too hahaha trying to get the face puncher since it does melee damage
Watching this video is pretty accurate in how i try to swat at a fly in my room. haha :D
Yep lol
I'm sorry K6 I tried watching live. Your edits are the content for me. Keep it up man
No worries. The Livestream is there for the people that wanted uncut content. Thanks!!
Saw you're live streaming day three already, so I'm probably late to say this, but. Solution to avoid negligent discharges, map melee to the trigger.
I know this is a little unusual, but I would like to submit "Agatha Fistie" as an option for the next name...
That’s very good lol
True melee amara is real fun.
2 or 3 fights are aweful, but its the closest I can get to Zer0 and Krieg so i will take it.

This was great
thank you!
could always set the melee to your normal firing trigger that way you dont do it on accident
That would probably mess me up more lol. Appreciate the suggestion though
@@Ki11ersix of course no problem I finally got bl3 but it's for the switch it runs pretty smoothly for them having to down size it
Fun times indeed K6 live on on UA-cam too 👍
I know this may be a few years outdated to ask but can you make an amara leveling guide? All of the old ones are from when max level was 50 and/or not up to date with how she is currently. 🙏
Try this one: ua-cam.com/video/5ZFLp1vFfeM/v-deo.htmlsi=h2t9pzQEsLz3QjVF
Can you just unbind the trigger so that it’s not possible to shoot? It’s been a very long time since I’ve looked at the settings
Sadly on controller I couldn’t
I JUST STARTED THIS CHALLENGE YESTERDAY AND I SEE THIS
You got this!! Have fun
Can you not rebind the melee button to the right trigger?
I can but I survived the playthrough without it
You should unbind the shoot button
Couldn't figure out how to do it on Controller.
Graveward is gunna be a PROBLEM
We’ll seeeeee…
Is bad that i can recognize the weapon both weapons in thumbnail ( psycho stabber in hand guardian angel on the back)
Heh… not bad
You should be allowed to use a linoge and only a linoge in fight for your life.
Evil. Lol
@@Ki11ersix I just want you to have to farm them on purpose.
It’s rough to choose between watching the stream here or Twitch, but I’ll opt for Twitch even though the app to me is a dumpster fire. Also I’m a little more regular than I have been in the past!
i think that the rough rider shold count as full and depleated at the same time. nobody use this thing on this game 😢
it does. Found that out eventually.
Could you unbind the fire button?
Tried, but on controller it wouldn't let me
U da man K6
Thanks!
Why not remap the controls to make sure you don't melee
Spoiler… today was the finale on stream. Never shot my guns. You’re gonna love the ending
Unfortunately for me when you start streaming live that's when I'm doing my gaming so I can't watch your streams easily and when I do it will be my first k6 stream because I just recently got slightly better internet

I tried but it makes me choose another button. It’s fine I haven’t shot yet ;)
Melee amara is great
I think shooting a gun is fine as long as it's a melee gun, it's gonna be too difficult in the upper mayhems
I think you're gonna be surprised.
@@Ki11ersix please prove me wrong my friend, I am awaiting, if you manage to do the takedowns on mayhem 11 without any melee gun I'll be thoroughly impressed
