· Borderlands 4's new Vault Hunter, C4SH (P4RNÉ), is launching on March 26th with the Ellie DLC and 'Cursed Vault'.
· C4SH has a voice tone similar to Marcus, and the trailer showcases unique abilities using cards and dice.
· Each card and die has unique effects, and the summoning of various totems based on dice rolls is particularly impressive.

· C4SH's core passive skill, 'Sudden Luck', grants 'Luck' stacks every time an enemy is defeated.
· Using an active skill or auto-reloading consumes all 'Luck' stacks to increase skill and weapon damage.
· The amount of damage increase varies depending on the number of stacks consumed, and some skills, when 'Sudden Luck' is active, behave as if they have maximum stacks, gaining additional benefits.
· This skill synergizes with all of C4SH's active skills, making it a crucial element that can change the tide of battle.

· 'Crossfire' is an active skill where C4SH automatically fires dual revolvers.
· Holding the fire button increases fire rate, but consumes skill duration faster. Ending the skill early can reduce cooldown.
· Holding the aim button can lock onto enemies, and melee attacks push both the enemy and yourself backward.
· When 'Sudden Luck' is active, revolver bullets gain a ricochet chance, and augmentations can change them to dual shotguns or provide various buffs like increased fire rate, reload speed, and movement speed.
· The 'Shadow Steps' augmentation replaces the dash, allowing you to teleport to another location, provides additional fire rate, and bullets ricochet (double ricochet when Sudden Luck is active).
· The 'Bone Shards' skill applies a debuff to enemies, increasing the damage they take.

· When 'Sudden Luck' is active, a totem of a specific number is always summoned (excluding the Corrupt Drain totem).

· At the center of all C4SH's skill trees is a common skill called 'Demon's Shriek'.
· This skill can only have 1 point invested and provides an additional augmentation slot.
· Unlike other Vault Hunters, C4SH does not have 'capstone skills'; the final tiers of all skill trees consist entirely of augmentations.
· C4SH inherently has two augmentation slots, and investing in 'Demon's Shriek' in each skill tree grants up to three additional augmentation slots, allowing for a total of five augmentations.
· This feature makes C4SH highly flexible and enables diverse build configurations.
