Your ideal Vex configuration in Borderlands 4 depends on playstyle preferences – either maximizing clone efficiency through Dead Ringer or partnering with her feline companion Trouble.
As Borderlands 4’s Siren archetype, Vex offers versatile build paths suitable for both rookies and seasoned players. Multiple specialization routes allow for tailored gameplay experiences.
Optimal Vex Configuration

The premier Bloodletter configuration emphasizes hemorrhage effects and sustained DPS, utilizing the Fourth Seal tree’s signature ability. Equipping Dead Ringer summons spectral allies that amplify combat effectiveness, particularly when paired with critical chance enhancers like Keen Suffering and kinetic damage boosters.
Dead Ringer Specialization
Maximizing Dead Ringer’s potential involves integrating the Coven augmentation with blood-based mechanics. This synergy allows clones to mirror Vex’s damage attunement, effectively doubling offensive output. Specter clones prove superior for gun-focused configurations due to ranged damage alignment.




Incarnate Combat Setup
Focusing on the Vexcalation tree, this configuration prioritizes kinetic weapon performance while maintaining survivability. Augment selection between Witchy Trigger Finger (firearm optimization) and Grave Harvest (health synergy) determines playstyle orientation, with SMG/AR users favoring the former.




Passive skills enhancing health regeneration complement Incarnate’s dual damage/healing mechanics. Prioritize abilities like Grave Vitality for sustainable combat performance.
Phase Phamiliar Companion Build
This tank-oriented setup transforms Trouble into an elemental powerhouse through the Here Comes Trouble tree. Key investments include cooldown reduction for companion abilities and elemental shock enhancements via Deadwire/Grave Current passives.
