Lilith



Once human, Lilith was turned into one of the Sirens, a group of people with unbelievable powers who have been touched by alien technology. She comes to Pandora in search of another Siren, in an effort to find out more about herself.

Background
So far only 13 people have publicly demonstrated so called "magical" abilities, all of whom are women. Due to the gender bias, these gifted individuals are often called "Witches" or "Sirens," although no official term exists. Studying the cause of these women's powers has proven difficult, as they are always prone to wanderlust and have little patience for extended scientific probing. Lilith claims her powers come from her crossing the "Hotness Threshold." "Any woman as good looking as me can do what I do," is her official statement for such inquiry. The other women offer equally useful explanations for their powers.

Gameplay
Lilith typically operates as a close range striker, using numerous elemental damage enhancements to inflict damage and a range of self buffing skills to quickly enter and exit the fray, as well as to survive once in the heat of battle. Her active ability, Phasewalk, allows her to either sneak in or out of hostile groups with the cover of invisibility and increased speed, and she's capable of dealing high damage with either melee attacks combined with Phasewalk, or with ranged attacks. She can especially excel with Elemental weapons, and is capable of dazing the opponents she hits. While not exactly durable, Lilith can use her Phasewalk defensively to aid her survival. She has a class mod that enhances SMGs, but otherwise she can use any weapon type, with some advantages for high damage critical weapons like Snipers, and slow projectile weapons like the Eridian Cannon. Lilith's melee attack is an energy blast. Her skill trees are Assassin, which gives her more damage in melee and on critical hits; Controller, which gives her the ability to daze targets she attacks; and Elementalist, which adds bonuses for weapons that employ explosive, static, incendiary and corrosive damage. Spread throughout the three trees are some defensive abilities to increase her resilience and elusiveness.

Active Ability

 * See Article: Active Abilities for info.

Lilith's skill is called Phasewalk, which lets her turn invisible to enemies (but not to her teammates to whom she appears as translucent pink), move much faster, and cause a damaging shockwave upon entering and exiting. Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford describes it as "kind of like when Frodo puts on the ring, except that when she takes it off she can kill everything around her with a shock wave nova effect." This effect can be altered by using unique artifacts that can add elemental damage to the "shockwave".
