Combat Mastery ¶Ĭombat Mastery will allow you to maximize your offensive output by increasing the damage you deal with weapons. Maxing out the Fitness line will give you some much-needed survivability, increasing your Health and Shield bonus up to 50%, whilst decreasing your shield-recharge delay by 15%. This build chose the Shield Overload upgrade, but if you’re having more trouble with armored enemies, you can switch over to the Armor-Piercing upgrade. On top of that, they can be great against either high shielded enemies, or high armor enemies depending on their last upgrade path.

Subsubscribe to Premium to Remove Ads Frag Grenades ¶įrag Grenades are nothing special on their own, but they can be useful when used in conjunction with your Incendiary Ammo, they’ll create a fire explosion that’ll hit more enemies,then the explosion will transform into several smaller fireballs similar to the Inferno Grenade. The biggest upgrade it received was the ability to be used as a Tech Burst primer and detonator via the Amplification upgrade, making it the only power in the game to prime and detonate. It does more damage, and with its Recharge Speed upgrade, it can be fired more often. Concussive Shot ¶Ĭoncussive Shot is the next big part of this build, whilst Adrenaline Rush got nerfed, Concussive Shot got buffed. Saying that, it still has some useful traits like, increasing your weapon damage for 25% or increasing shield strength by 50% whilst it’s activated. In Mass Effect 3, it rightly got a huge nerf, but now it’s not worth building your class around it. Adrenaline Rush ¶Īdrenaline Rush isn’t the go-to power like it was in Mass Effect 2.

Also, it can be used for Tech Bursts if you shoot an enemy with them and follow it up with either a Concussive Shot or a Frag Grenade. Disruptor Ammo ¶ĭisruptor Ammo is great to use against shielded enemies like Centurions to strip them of their shields. For this build though, it’s not really needed, but it’s still nice to have. Cryo Ammo ¶Ĭryo Ammo is more of a crowd control power, and can be used to great effect in some builds. By using a high fire rate weapon, you’ll get increased chance of this effect happening. Explosive Burst ignites enemies with an intermittent explosion that covers the radius of 2.50 meters for 100 damage. By taking the final upgrade path, Explosive Burst, and using it with a high fire rate weapon, it’ll decimate anything it comes into contact with. Incendiary Ammo is the bread and butter of this build. This section will go into more detail on why the Powers are chosen for this particular build.
