Borderlands 3 is out in September, we've played it, and it's one of our most anticipated games of the year. The magic-flinging Siren is our favourite character so far, and we've got a list of all Borderlands 3 Amara Skill Trees for her.
Below you'll find all the Siren abilities for Amara currently in the game, along with what they do - including Action Skill powers and upgrades for them. We got a chance to try all the Action Skills and they're proving a lot of fun already. We can't wait to get a more thorough hands-on with them.
