Vex Character Overview
Phase Covenant Vault Hunter Trait
Vex is Attuned to the Elemental Type of her current Gun, Converting all Action Skill and Melee Damage into that type.
Summoner and Elemental Master
Vex specializes in summoning minions and overall elemental mastery. Her minions can copy her elemental attunement while her trait Phase Covenant converts the damage of her action skill and melee into the element of her equipped gun. This makes Vex the most versatile Vault Hunter when it comes to combat.
Use Maliwan Weapons for Summoner Builds
Using Maliwan weapons will expand Vex's versatility as her summons will copy the element of her equipped gun.
Use Kinetic Weapons for Vexcalation Build
For the Vexcalation build, use the strongest Kinetic weapons that you can find to compliment the build's physical damage! Strong weapons that fire Kinetic bullets are usually Jakobs weapons.
