00:00Everything about Rafa is centered around his exosuit, defines everything he is.
00:12Everything Tidior is, they're the Walmart of guns, you just use them once and throw them away.
00:16That kind of idea of his exosuit is Tidior is just using this soldier and when they're done with him, they're going to throw him away.
00:22Usually when we look at a character, we try to focus on one little piece of them and like, could this be an action skill?
00:27We start developing the character from there.
00:30For Rafa's Arc Knives, what makes that particularly badass is that focus on melee combat.
00:37We don't typically do it that much, so having something that just really drives into it and getting into the mix of things and being able to just cut away enemies is a much more unique sort of play style than you'll see with a lot of other Vault Hunters.
00:51This tree will allow him to do things like buff his movement speed, buff some of his damage, allow the knives whenever you attack people in melee to actually do AOE shock damage, and also do things like replace the dash attack that he has with elite, changing the element to corrosive.
01:10Rafa's Arc Knife's action skill puts him in third person where he becomes this super agile ninja with dual blazer swords.
01:18He slices his enemies, he marks his enemies to deal more damage to them as he's damaging them, and finally he ends with something we're calling blade fury, which just does massive amounts of damage to every enemy he's touched with his action skill.
01:31For Rafa's Peacebreaker cannons, what makes that particularly badass is the sort of automatic nature of it.
01:40Once you pop it, it allows you to just up your overall DPS, you point at whatever it is that you want to see die, and you get to just unload on him.
01:49This is kind of an ode to Moe's and Axton, where he puts a turret on his back and it just starts blasting away enemies.
01:55Eventually you can start customizing this with rockets, shotguns, or even lasers.
02:01The Apophis Lance lets you basically set aside a little cannon and fire it as you need.
02:07However, because it does affect your gun handling a little bit, we wanted to make sure that this is something that feels good when you use it because you're trading a little bit of your gunplay.
02:17All the augments focus in on it, allowing you to do things like get more charges for it so you can fire it more often.
02:23Action skill cooldown, crit enemies more often, and also just a general overall buff to it.
02:30One thing I'm known for around the Apophis is I love putting explosions on everything.
02:35I try to put explosions wherever I can.
02:37If I don't know what to do, add an explosion.
02:39So with Rafa, I kind of insisted I wanted him to be all about grenades.
02:43So he has a few bills where he just gets to spam grenades constantly for shooting his gun, using his action skill, whatever.
02:49He can even double his grenades.
02:51I think fans should be excited about Borderlands 4 because we've expanded on everything we've done previously.
02:57With Borderlands 4, with how deep our skill trees are, my character is always just going to be different than your character.
03:03I think fans are going to be excited for Borderlands 4 because of the build diversity.
03:06I think fans are going to be excited for Borderlands 5.
03:21I think fans are going to be very excited for you.
03:24Because it's not going to be really excited for the 快-to-college.
03:27I think fans are going to be the best in the future.
03:29I think fans are going to be really excited for that.
03:31I think fans are going to be a really cool part of the build diversity.
