Borderlands 3 Moze Builds: The best skills in the guide


In our Borderlands 3 Guide you will learn:

  • how to skill Moze to a robust tank
  • with which build you make enormous area damage

Last update: 05.03.2020

Moze takes on the class of Gunner in Borderlands 3. Together with her mech named Iron Bear she mixes up Borderlands. With their different play styles, beginners & advanced players get their money's worth. Each of her builds is a lot of fun in its own way.

A few days have passed since the release of Borderlands 3, and we were able to try out a few builds for you. We noticed right away that Moze is a great class, especially for beginners. We have compiled the best builds for new and advanced Gunners in our guide.

We present you another class in the best builds for Beastmaster FL4K. We also have a comprehensive guide for Borderlands 3 Amara builds for you. You can even solo Maliwan Takedown with our builds for Agent Zane. How even Moze can solo Maliwan Takedown can be found in the linked guide.

Borderlands 3 Moze Build: The Immortal

Highlights of the Immortals: Strong defense, continuously deals elemental damage, more aggressive play style possible due to alternative weapon choice, requires precision, survives for a long time when dodging projectiles
Link to Build: The Immortal

The Immortal's build is primarily designed for defense . Later on, a more aggressive variant can be played by adjusting the items. The action skill "Salamander" is used twice, so the damage rate of the build is enormously high.

Intensive use of the action skill often results in enemies dying out of your field of vision and not even getting the chance to damage you. The build performs best offensively when you focus on individual enemies with your Shredifier . When you do this, you regularly score critical hits, which in turn trigger multiple Mind Sweeper minigranates.

These minigranates deal single and area damage and are especially effective when many enemies are gathered in a pile. The combination of the Lead Cloud, Forge, and Redistribution talents will increase the efficiency of your ammunition and provide strong ammunition regeneration.

"The Iron Bank" and "Matching Set" double the magazine size, which also doubles the effect of the aforementioned talent combination. "Balancing Act" and "Vladof Ingenuity" increase the capacity of your shield and reduce the shock damage taken.

If you need more defense at the beginning, forgo the points in Phalanx Doctrine and Full Force and maximize Vladof Ingenuity. This is also a good idea if you don't have The Transformer yet.

The item list of the Immortals build

In the following overview you will find the items that best fit the Immortal build. The core elements of the build are the weapons Shredifier and Lucian's Call, as well as the class mod Mind Sweeper. Any other weapon can be used instead of Jericho.

Jericho is a good choice if you have already found the weapon and know how to use it. If you haven 't found these items yet, we recommend using the Goddess of Explosions for now. This build is more effective if you haven't found the right items yet.

Note: The "Important stats" table indicates which stats on the item have the highest priority. This is to help you compare between two items.

Borderlands 3 Moze Build: Goddess of Explosions

Goddess of Explosions highlights: High area damage, regenerates ammo and grenades, grenades and missiles often hit critically, aggressive playstyle, good for new level 50 characters
Skill trees: blast master, retaliation shield & bottomless magazines
Link to build: Goddess of Explosions

As the Goddess of Explosions, Moze uses grenades to boost her damage, recharge her shields, and regenerate her ammo. The trick with this build is to find a balance between weapon and grenade usage. This balance should be such that you use as many grenades as possible without running out of grenades.

If you do run out of grenades, you regenerate them by using a weapon with explosion damage. If your grenades hit an enemy, you'll regenerate your shield, ammo, and may even get the used grenade refunded. In addition to the area damage they do, Moze's grenades do fire damage. This makes them extremely effective and useful in any battle.

"Annihilator" is the key talent that triggers ammo and grenade regeneration. "Draw the Sacred Pin" provides the frequent critical hits with grenades, while "Vampire" boosts life regeneration. Thanks to "Until the Bitter End," Moze can even throw grenades during the "Fight for Your Life" phase, making him much more likely to survive.

The negative sides of the build are, on the one hand, the rare Iron Bear use and the blocked weapon slot needed for the weapon with explosion damage. Also, boss fights are much more difficult to complete solo. You counter the long cooldown by investing three skill points in Explosive Punctuation.

The biggest advantage is the unbound item choice. You'll need one of two specific grenade mods, but you'll be freer to choose weapons than with other builds. You also have a free choice of action skills.

The item list of the Goddess of Explosions build

Below you can see which items are the best for the Goddess of Explosions build. We recommend the two grenade mods because they complement this build the most. This is partly because of the high damage per second and the enormous instant damage inflicted on enemies.

Storm Front is the better choice to start with, as the grenade mod is easier to obtain. Flakker is a particularly good weapon, as it deals very high damage while being easy to use. For the arbitrary fourth slot, weapons like Lucian's Call or Rowan's Call are suitable, but your favorite weapon can also take the weapon slot for itself.
