Leveling Build
Nisha’s greatest weakness is probably her lack out outright survivability when compared to other Vault Hunters in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Wilhelm has his bots, the Doppleganger has his drones, Athena has her shield, even bloody Claptrap can spawn minions, and yet Nisha can aim better.
Sounds awesome at first but, when there’s a moon full of angry wildlife and barbaric Scavs bearing down on you, something else to take the strain of being shot at would be nice. Luckily for Nisha, she doesn’t need minions when built correctly as she levels.
Before you even think about looking at Nisha’s skills though, you’ve got to remember that for her, a good offensive is her defense.
Enemies can’t shoot you if their face has more holes than a government-sponsored finance bill. Showdown is powerful on its own though, so ensuring Nisha has the ability to survive should she be overrun is paramount to the build above.
Make your first port of call Bona Fide Grit and you’ll have a tasty boost to healing over time and your damage dealing capabilities. Now you’re best bet is to head over towards Nisha’s Law & Order tree and start filling it up.
The chance to heal for double your damage taken is a great part of Order and one you’ll want to make use of throughout Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Bring along a hefty shield and, in theory, Nisha should be nearly unstoppable.
Augmenting Order with stuff like Wanted, which increases the damage done to those who deal damage to you, plus Discipline, a skill which makes you stronger at high Order stack levels, will slowly but surely make your attacks impossible to halt.
Throwing in skills like Jurisdiction and Blood of the Guilty is never a bad idea either. At this point, the simple leveling build stops holding your hand and lets you free.
There are a few other skills in Nisha’s possession, like Saddle Up or Ruthless, that can go a long way to helping you along, but that’s down to you to decide. This bare-bones framework serves to make Nisha as implacable as possible.
With the leveling stuff out of the way, we can start looking at builds for solo and co-op play in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
