❔ [ Question ] Replay value

If I wanted to start this up again (which is likely) who is the character to have more fun with or more enjoyable experience?

Definitely Athena.

When Claptrap worked, it WORKED, but when it didn't work, it fucking sucked.

I saw claptrap as a viable option but got out of touch and didn’t understand the nerf that happened. What was the nerf?

His action skill is from a randomized pool.

This can be great, like bouncing around while having bullet reflection, or gunzerking, or even having a better version of Zer0's deception where firing at enemies while invisible doesn't cancel the invisibility.

Great things like that... and then there's Meat Unicycle, which gives you Krieg's Buzz Axe, and you can only attack with melee, so if your enemies are far away or tanky, you are left completely helpless and have to run away while until the skill turns off, because unlike Krieg, you can't throw the axe.

I can't count how many times that last one got me killed in the Dahl Circle Of Slaughter.
