This week Maxroll has two major updates to share: the launch of Maxroll's beta Borderlands 4 planner and a massive update to Maxroll's Elden Ring section with a new, comprehensive database.
Maxroll's Borderlands 4 Planner
Maxroll has released a beta version of their Borderlands 4 planner, with skill trees for two of the game’s playable characters: Vex and Rafa. This is a work in progress that Maxroll will add to as more information is known about the game, but for now, you can play around with the planner for yourself, check curated builds from Maxroll’s Borderlands 4 Team (Moxsy, AbbyHour, Byrdman & Chadly), or browse community builds.
Vex
Vex is the Dark Siren, and her powers focus on summoning companions and enhancing herself. Conjure up dark clones, a large cat named Trouble, or create Eldritch bombs that annihilate the Timekeepers' forces.
- Phase Familiar summons Trouble, a large cat companion who wreaks havoc among Vex's foes.
- The Incarnate tree adds a powerful Eldritch Blast to your toolkit.
- Use Dead Ringer to transform Vex into a master of minions, summoning multiple Phase Clones and commanding them against her foes.
Rafa
Rafa is an ex-Tediore soldier on the run from his former employer. He uses his exo-suit to slice and blast his way through the Timekeepers' minions.
- With Peacebreaker Cannons, you gain an auto-firing turret ability.
- Rafa swaps his guns for Arc Blades, and he dashes around the battlefield, slashing enemies with Blade Fury. Use the Arc Knives tree to enhance your slashing expertise.
- Equip the APOPHIS LANCE cannon to Rafa's arm and use it to obliterate foes.
Maxroll's Elden Ring Database
If you’re more of an ARPG enthusiast than a looter-shooter fiend, you might be more interested in Maxroll’s new Elden Ring Database, where you can learn more about the weapons, armor, Ashes of War, spells, Talismans, Spirit Ashes, Great Runes and Goods.
In Maxroll’s Weapon Database you can see attribute scaling, affinities, Guard Absorption and more for each of the game’s weapons. You can also select weapon upgrade levels to see how the damage changes with upgrades. For regular weapons, this info also includes different affinities so you can check whether it’s better to run the weapon as is or swap it over to Heavy on your unga bunga build.
Maxroll also has information on the Armor sets (and pieces), Ashes of War, Spells (including the rather esoteric spell types), Talismans, Spirit Ashes and Great Runes. This is especially helpful for more complex things like Ashes of War, as in the Maxroll database you can see the FP cost and even the default affinity change when adding it to your weapon.
Last but not least there’s Goods, a catch-all category for consumables, crafting materials, key items, Crystal Tears (for the Wondrous Physick), upgrades, maps, lore items and more.
