Lilith tips?

[Ein]

I think im doing it wrong... i'm almost lv 30, i played bl2 and tps and i feel like my dumbness takes controll of me.
She is based on fire, corrosive and electrical damage, but i use the gearbox shotgun and a few more other weapons (that aren't elemental) all the time!
I think i got the assassin tree finished and i started with spark on the middle one.

Also at which level is it normal to finish the first playthrough? Does bl1 have TVHM and UVHM?

[rresuggan]

main game you finish at lvl36 if you do every sidequest, doing zombie island and claptrap dlc in pt1 for the backpack sdu's, skill point and loot room will take you to lvl40-42, pt2 starts at lvl33 so just rush through main quests until you catch up

[Weird Grim]

Normal you get to the end boss at lvl ~35, and when you finish all the DLC's i think it was lvl ~48.

Depends on your playstyle, but this is my build.
I go for survivel, cowardly hit "Phase Walk" run and hide, when things gets hard.

Basicly start with Controller branch then Assassin and Elemental last.
Controller: Diva -> Inner Glow -> Girl Power -> Mind Games.
Then one Point in Elemental: Quicksilver for my mercenary mod.
Assassin: Silent Resolve -> Hit & Run -> High Velocity.
Then Controller again; Hard to get.
Assassin: Blackout.
Elemental: Quicksilver -> Resilience -> Intuition -> Phoenix

I wouldn't go for Radiance if you're into the elemental tree, because shields of general mobs are a joke and you can tear through them with any other elemental weapon/non elemental.
And against guardians, well they have insane beefy shield so Radiance barely does anything to it (except if you're overlevel of course).

I don't know why people don't spec into Resilience that much, when you die as Lilith it's from a shock/fire/corrosive/explosive weapon. Spark has its use if you're focusing on elemental guns but Quicksilver is already enough to apply dots and once you have x2 to x4 elemental weapons.

For the Controller tree, pretty much same as above but don't max Mind games just put one point in it. Since SMGs are her weapon of choice, combine with Quicksilver you don't need to max Mind Games. In general you should look for high fire rate guns but shotguns also works for Mind Games.
I would put only one point in Girl Power too, as it is boosted by 2 of her best COMs (Catalyst and Mercenary), and it's good as it is (2% shield regen on kills).
Focus on Hard to Get since it has a lot more synergy with Inner Glow/Silent Resolve (which is one her most insane skills actually, it's not just a few seconds it lasts for 7 seconds) and increase your survivability more than Girl Power.

Don't put only one point in Quicksilver, except if you're really need to get those survival skills, bonus fire rate at all times should not be underestimated.

If you're really sticking with the Assassin tree, which is kind of a mistake, you should get Silent Resolve maxed out, Hit&Run if you have Inner Glow but Enforcer (better for shotguns) or Slayer if not, then 2 points in Blackout is well enough and after that High Velocity.

avoid all the Phasewalk skills they are useless, I never needed it n playthrough 1 or 2 at any time, just use the skills that benefit you only (damage with guns/element damage/and shield capacity/recharge)

[Samos]

And also don't bother with Phase-strike, it's useful to have bonus melee damage when getting out of Phasewalk but honestly melee doesn't do much in this game and is the weakest capstone skill.

At your level you should have, 5/5 Diva - 5/5 Inner Glow - 5/5 Hard to Get - 1/5 Girl Power - 1/5 Mind Games - 5/5 Quicksilver - 5/5 Silent Resolve. Then focus on Assassin tree to get all the damage buff for your guns and with this you're nearly invincible.
But then at the end of the day, it depends on your guns, class mod and playstyle.
You should go for Phoenix in Zombie Island for example...

Think you are right about Resilience instead of Radiance.
Disagree about only one point in Girl Power and Mind games though, both skills are assum.

I love both of these too, and it might be more useful while leveling up although not Girl Power over Hard to Get cause in my opinion it's better to focus on healing often with phasewalk. Think of all the time where you won't be killing stuff like against bosses, Girl Power is useless there.
End game when you have Stingers/Double Anarchy or any high fire rate weapons which works perfectly for Mind Games, 1 point is largely enough to daze your targets.

I usually spray the mob to slow them down.
Agree that Hard to Get is a wonderfull skill, cutting cooldown from 36s to 20s, nothing wrong getting it early on.
Combine that with Hit & Run and we are getting 10s Phasewalk with 20 s cooldown instead of 6s and 36s.
We basicly agree, just minor differenses.

I agree that we agree :D In the end, it depends a lot on what map you're on, what enemies you're fighting, playstyle, coms and a lot more.

I havent played the newest version so I don't know if they corrected matters, but shotguns are almost useless in BL1. The weapons of choice, especially for Lilith, are SMG's and snipers. And Especially FIRE! But liliths siren skills are amazing. When she is fully topped up with all the boosts she is almost invulnerable.

i haven't used any SMG and i just finished the game. Im starting it again and i dont want to lose some weapons that i am fond of. Can i store them anywhere?

wrong dude, have you ever used the Dahl Bulldog with its 2nd most accurate barrel, or the Jakobs Striker for the extra critical damage? well use both of them first before saying shotguns are all useless

Not wrong at all. You obviously haven't played the game much.
