Best Solo Character
Vex the Siren Is the Best Solo Vault Hunter
Vex shines as the best solo character thanks to her ability to summon allies through the Phase Phamiliar or Dead Ringer action skills. These minions not only provide consistent damage but also draw enemy aggro, taking the pressure off you.
In tough Fight For Your Life moments, the summons can finish off enemies for a revive, giving you a second chance without relying solely on landing another gun kill.

Can Any Vault Hunter Be Played Solo?
Yes, All Vault Hunters Are Viable
While Vex excels at solo play, every Vault Hunter can be viable with the right skills and build. Each character has abilities that boost HP or shield regeneration, which should be prioritized for survivability when playing alone.
Some characters and builds may face greater challenges, but with persistence and smart play, it is more than possible to progress through the game and overcome even the toughest enemies and bosses.
