People Person — borderlands

People Person is a skill tree for Rafa in Borderlands 4. His other skill trees are This Year's Gimmick and Remote Agent.

This skill tree develops Rafa as a single target gunfighter, assisted by the tree's action skill, APOPHIS Lance.

Action skill. Rafa equips his APOPHIS Lance, an offhand Arm Cannon that decreases Rafa's Gun Handling while active.

APOPHIS Lance can be modified by one Augment unlocked in Tier 2 or 4, as well as a branch Capstone unlocked in Tier 6.

With Tier 4, the skill tree divides itself into 3 subtrees. Investment in a particular subtree grants access to skills, augments, and capstones deeper in that branch, but does not grant access to the other branches.

At the bottom of each subtree lies a capstone. A subtree's capstone becomes available after investing 10 points in the skills of that subtree.

Similar to Augments, Capstones alter the behavior of Rafa's APOPHIS Lance action skill. Only a single Capstone may be active at a time.
