* [[The Beast Master]]: Mordecai, barring its cooldown, has a skill which allows him to sic a bird on his enemies.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: His original model used this, and the influence can still be seen in the vest combo he sports.

* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Big No]]: Whenever Mordecai dies. ''"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I '''NEVER''' DIE!!!"''
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Mordecai employs this trope quite often when he scores a kill.
** [[Friendly Sniper]]: His victory dialogue against elite mooks ("Nothin' like a challengin' kill!"; "Yeah, not bad! Not bad."; "Heh; another trophy for my wall.") seem to imply that he regards his enemies as sport, as challenges that he is excited to meet. As opposed to, y'know, people.

* [[The Gunslinger]]: Every playable character can use guns and has skill trees relating to them, but Mordecai actually gets a skill tree that's called this, specifically with pistols.
* [[The Lancer]]
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
 
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Badass Boast]]: After scoring a critical hit, she sometimes says: "[laugh] I'm really good at this!"
* [[The Chick]]
* [[Flash Step]]: Her special ability allows her to step into an alternate dimension (causing an explosion that helps discourage her enemies from attacking), run quickly to her target, pop out with an energetic shockwave that stuns her foes, and then proceed to mow them all down.
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]:
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]:* Her Phoenix skill sets her on fire (with only beneficial effects). It also allows her shots to cause fire damage, acquainting their targets with the [[Man On Fire]] trope [[Captain Obvious|(with harmful effects)]].
** She is also an expert with elemental guns and can crank the elemental damage done by them [[Up to Eleven]]. A Maliwan Hellfire submachinegun turns Lilith into a firebreathing goddess of pure destruction.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Out of the playable characters.
* [[Touched by Vorlons]]: The source of her powers, although she insists it's because she's crossed the "Hotness Threshold.".
 
== Roland ==
Line 36:
{{quote|''As "The Soldier"''}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Badass in Distress]]: In ''Borderlands 2.''}}.
* [[Combat Medic]]: Roland has a skill tree called 'Medic' that helps him heal his allies, but that doesn't mean he's any less capable of shooting you. The tree has other abilities that specifically make him hardier, increases his weaponry's magazine size. and actually has an ability that requires him to kill an enemy to activate it. And one of the ways he can heal allies is by ''[[Healing Shiv|shooting]]'' them, giving the term new meaning. Plus he can upgrade his turret to heal allies while unhealing everyone else. There is an insane medic 'build' which is perfect for arena fighting. Getting healed by your turret and a healing boost from killing enemies... Hitting level 45 pretty much allows you to run around in the thick of battle without a shield running from enemy to enemy and shoot them point blank (who cares about weapon accuracy?) for continued ownage. Question is: are you able to reach level 45 in your first playthrough?
