Is Lilith any good? Was planning on using her for my second character.
I was skeptical about Lilith at first, but I just finished the first play through with her (level 36) and it was surprisingly fun. I had four SMGs on deck at all times, one for Fire, Corrosive, Shock and Explosive. I just switched weapons (and class mods if necessary) whenever I ran into an enemy resistant to whatever gun I was using. I started with a Hunter (got to level 32 so far) and I liked being able to actually hit what I was aiming at and I thought for sure I wouldn't like playing Lilith with SMG's but the secret is to get an SMG with a scope and you can headshot people like nobody's business! Just get sortof close and it's just critical after critical as fast as the weapon will fire; pretty fun stuff.
The Diva, Girl Power, Slayer and Mind Games are easily the most powerful skills she has so max those ASAP. It's awesome when you get Mind Games leveled up high because not only do the enemies move slower and fire slower, but the projectiles the enemy's weapons fire move slower too! You can actually dodge rocket launchers and shotguns. It also works on "fixed" targets so it makes killing those sentry turrets a cinch because they fire and turn so slowly they are practically shut down.
Phase Walk doesn't really deal a lot of pure damage, but when combined with a shock artifact (for "shocking return") you can take out the shields of a group of clustered enemies pretty easily and then just mow them down with your favorite SMG at close range while the Girl Power skill recharges your shield with each enemy you kill. That's about all I ended up using Phase Strike for, but it does work pretty good and recharges quickly.
Sure Mordecai hits a lot harder, but Lilith is just so much more
fun to play because of her skills and the playstyle they require to use effectively. Just be careful because you can run out of ammo with those SMG's pretty quick if you aren't conservative.
