Trauma exactly. I only have one point in his health and I rarely go down. The cool thing about the class is you constantly have weapon damage buffs if you spec him right
+Ryan Underwood Haha yea :p Reliable, consistent damage and the versatility to safely revive team mates, complete objectives and extract without issue. Definitely one of the strongest characters. :)
The Angara Avenger is probably one of my favorite classes to play, after equipping a grenade capacity upgrade I tried it out for the first time in a gold solo, and by god man, how did it not receive high praise in this video? If it can successfully solo a gold at lvl 1, and manage to stay invisible half the time while bringing me back to my MW2 commando pro days, then it has my respect
I think that a pair of Adepts together are more powerful than any other duo. stay within eachothers Annihilation field and boost eachothers shields with each kill for constant lance chaining. Done right is insanely powerful AND tanky. But yeah, if you dont have the right support with you then you'll get melted.
+John Cain while i agree that not all of the weapons are great, they are still pretty balanced. Its not like single player where you get access to augments to make them amazing. A lot of it comes down to playstyle, for instance the crusader shotgun isnt a common pick but when used on a class with the final level of tactical cloak you essentially have a high capacity sniper rifle similar to the vanquisher. Combine that with the penetration mod and youve essentially created a railgun. There are tons of weapons that can work really well under certain circumstances. What are your weapons of choice, John? I know a lot of people have to use the cards theyre dealt and havent unlocked a lot of weapons but im curious to hear whats working well for you.
Personally, i just stuck with the avenger and charger and got them to rank X before opening gold. I now use revenant and talon/charger sometimes equalizer. Scattershot with the duelist for combo cancels. Too many weapons are just gimmicks and aren't all that useful.
It's a really solid gun, lots of ammo, nice dmg and great rate of fire plus the accuracy isn't half bad either. Whenever I try new weapons I always end up going back to it it's so reliable on any charter class.
+John Cain Haha agreed. Throw it on a class with Turbocharge and unleash the fury. Its too bad you cant augment weapons like in single player because the revenant is amazing with the homing plasma rounds augmentation. :p
Someone else has probably said it already, but the KroGuard absolutely and literally eats unshielded opponents with properly levelled rage and charge; the bonus stack from melee synergy and rage only taking two hits at top level means you're almost as unstoppable as the Phoenix Vanguard from ME3MP. Ahh, I miss that dude with his Talon. Charge>bang>munch>nova. Reacquire and repeat.
Sidebar - The Krogan engineer has taken the place of the GethGineer for sniping at people trying to kill your turret while it burninates them. Still trying to work out if Indra or Black Widow is better, probably Indra for shield stripping on Gold.
No, I carried it through my entire SP playthrough and then ditched it at the end for the Inferno. The Revenant just doesn't feel the same either, that thing was the tits (technical term) ME3MP.
bion1c CROW Yea having the group cloak is amazing especially for hacking or reviving downed team members. The revived team mate gets up and is instantly cloaked. Its awesome!
I use the Krogen mercenary. Flank cannon is good for causing tons of damage & area of affect. Flamethrower is good for just about everything except shielded targets. Fortify is awesome to, especially when you lower the speed & movement penalty. Its without a doubt my favorite class. The Asuari duelist aswell.
I never truly got the hang of asari adept on gold. a lot of "walk round corner, lose shields, no lance, dead", she's a good ambush clash but enemies tend to agro on you through walls :( Another MEAMP TH-camr, Capta1nAsh, did some interesting videos where he did gold with Common weapons on Common classes. Granted this is like final version MEA so weapons, powers and combos are a bit harder hitting because of Rank XX veteran bonuses. I think all classes are gold viable now, but there's still only a handful i'd take onto platinum
This is very accurate - thank you. I will have to try out Turian soldier with fortify, especially because my kroguard build is focused on rage and nova. Other commentators need to recognize that he picked the strongest, not just "viable" or good. He picked the best ones. As far as weapons go, I do not think they are all that viable, particularly when dealing with common / uncommons. There are so many more Rare weapons / Ultra Rare compared to 4 common weapons. This does not make sense to me. Not to mention most of them suck. Ideally, a lot of the crappier UC/R/UR need to be dropped a rank or two. This will mean you actually get rewarded when decrypting a rare / ultra rare item instead of getting some POS gun.
+Boogs Glad you understand! Thanks Boogs. :D I completely agree on the weapons. When I say there relatively balanced I mean most of them arent great but can still be used well enough to succeed. Of course there are weapons that stand out among the others in terms of usefulness and viability, but this video isnt on the best weapons and just the best classes. I am curious to hear what weapons are working well for everyone. Ive been having a lot of success with the Dhan and Revenant, and in lower difficulties the Falcon is amazing. What do you guys like to use?
I was blessed by RNGesus. I got a Vanquisher-1 very early on and use that on my human infilitrator (and human engineer when I'm playing casually because that guy is not viable). I run a Hesh-1 on my kroguard (best shotgun I have). Throw in a Charger-10 as well. I do not have any good assault rifles (P.A.W. is my only ultra rare and it takes a full clip to take out a red-bar on bronze) - that thing needs a 100% buff
+Boogs Praise RNGesus. Haha I totally agree on the PAW. It seems so good from the stats and its nice to never need to refill ammo but it doesnt seem to deliver. I got that one early on and quickly went back to the Falcon. I only just got the Vanquisher as well, but I had also toyed around with thr N7 Crusader. Its a shotgun but fires accurate slug rounds making it a more short-mid range version of the Vanquisher. Using that with tactical cloak is a lot of fun. Its nice to see that some strategues from ME3 multiplayer can still be viable even if the weapons have changed a bit.
Aww, no Insurgent. The trip mine + level 6 detonation combo is incredible. Run any elemental ammo, spec into mines and its a DPS monster. Add in his shield boost for you and the team and I think its an S tier character.
+RighteousPancake That sounds awesome xD I havent played as the Insurgent but I can see trapping the entire map being a lot of fun. :P Glad to hear about this. Ill give it a try when I finally unlock it lol
I tend to prefer the turian agent for an infiltrator. May not have energy drain but using the recon visor to see and shoot through walls is awesome, and flamethrower is great for dealing with the dogs. Human juggernaut imo makes the best tanky character (that isn't a charging vanguard) with the remnant armor passives plus fortify, and you get combos via snap freeze and shockwave. Human commando is my favorite biotic (alongside the asari adept) with singularity + double warp for dealing with crowds or comboing hard targets (since singularity primes even shielded enemies), and warp is both a primer and detonator and can be reduced to a 4 second cool down with a 15 second duration, allowing it to prime and combo off itself. Turian havoc trooper plays really well with the soned minigun due to all of her accuracy bonuses while airborne. She literally turns into an a10 warthog for air strikes.
wow kinda missed two hugely amazing classes, the Angaran Avenger and the asari duelist. Avenger with an even better tactical cloak(stealth grid) and avenger strike witch is just like charge and sticky grenades. Duelist has charge, backlash and lance, with the best melee weapon in the game(asari sword) combined with the explorer boost make it really easy to avoid sticky situations. Also the Asari Huntress is really good with stealth grid, lance, and throw.
+sam Barr I agree that I shouldve talked more on classes that also have tactical cloak because of how powerful it is for completing objectives and rescuing downed allies. I also didnt realise how the multiplayer meta had become addicted to sniper rifles, specifically the vanquisher, making anyone else with tactical cloak more favorable. A lot of this information was gathered from personal experiences and its difficult to say something is really good without seeing it done well first. If youre able to do it well then Im glad! What else works well for you?
Trauma other than those three classes I said and the ones you covered in the video, I would say the Angara insurgent. witch has trip mine, shield boost, and assault turret. really the only good abilities are trip mine, that can put down some decent damage and shield boost that is nice for survivability, assault turret is only good to distract enemies. But any way nice video, Keep them coming. Maybe you can do a part 2 with some classes you didn't cover. deff earned a sub from me.
No Tactical cloak > stealth grid. In a dire situation when half the team is down, worrying about running to an ammo supply for another stealth grid pack is a bad thing. Salarian infilitrator > the rest.
I saw your infiltrator take 3 bullets and not lose shields damnit -- I play gold and that shit doesn't happen it fcking doesn't -- should be near death w/ about 3/4 of your health gone at least! -- THEN!!! you even survive doing the objective?!??!?!? What??? Impossible. You're not playing a fortify class OR a tech armor class there -- I mean come on. O_O
@@Traumz He called you out. This is an old video so I'm guessing in the intervening years you've learnt to know the difference between bronze and gold.
Salarian operator ultra rare is good as well. Maxed oue wi debuff+ overcharge multiplie enemies just melting all shield enemies. Plus aoe recharge shield speed which last 150% longer saved me and my team on objective more times than I can count
Asari adept is way better as a melee character. It has the hardest hitting melee in the game if you combine it with the debuff from annihilation field. Also, the havoc trooper's inability to have any sort of defense or regen makes it absolutely horrible.
"Any sort of defense"? Of what are you talking about? The Havoc Trooper has +140 damage resistance while hovering that's more DR than *any* other class has. The only other class that comes close to this DR is the Human Kineticist with efficient ascension from patch 1.06 onwards with +130 DR. On top of this you must add the fact that many of the strongest enemies (apart from sharpshooters) are not very good at range and hence when you are hovering you can literally empty crowds by yourself without much problems with a either a soned after patch 1.06 or a thokin before and for sniping you can go with what you prefer.
Vamguards tend to just charge around and die all the time on gold. The salarian Operator can keep shield boost running constantly, how can he not be on the list? And Angara Avenger? Human Engineer for taking down armoured targets?
+Rickard Friberg A few people have commented this already and while I completely agree I also have to disagree. Some characters can be very strong but need to be played correctly to do so. Most Salarian Operators die quickly from having such a low health pool. Vanguards who die, especially playing the Krogsn Vanguard are just plain bad at the game. Also the Krogan Mercenary is a much tankier choice for melting armored targets using flamethrower. I appreciate the comment, friend. What classes do you enjoy playing in gold?
Trauma Mostly ive played Salarian Operator, as a support it turns ur team into Terminators aslong as they dont go lonewolf. Also enjoy Angara Avenger. started lvling my X human vanguard after this video and I must say i agree with u. He is very strong. I dont like playing the krogans so i went with the Human Vanguard instead. Never tried the Flamethrower, with most dmg powers being as underwhelming as they are i figured a weapon would still be better against armoured targets then the Flamethrower?
The Turian Havoc does NOT deserve an honorable mention. She lacks any accelerated shield or health regen. I know she has more health and shield than most but she lacks damage resistance (unless in air). So the TSol is slightly more tanky with Fortify activate, plus more importantly he has the low health bonus and two ways to hasten shield regen. The Havoc's boost to damage from Incinerate doesn't supersede it's lack of sustainability. TSol all the way! lol
+Alexander Bethea Hey thanks for the response dude. I still feel the Turian HT is a great damage dealer and gains a lot of damage resistance when moving around the map with dashes/evades. A lot of this game comes down to personal preference, how you build and how you play. If you can do well on another class then Im glad! All power to you. What else do you like to play as?
Asari Adept and Salarian Infiltrator are my other two favorites. So good job there. I use everything though. I wanna have every single character at level 20
Havoc trooper with a soned minigun and her massive bonuses to damage resistance and accuracy while airborne literally turn her into an a-10 warthog air strike tool. Turbocharge, jump and hover, and unleash steel rain on everything below. Bonus: she can have like 12, possibly more, charges for flak cannon, and firing a half dozen of those into a crowd of enemies makes quick work of them.
+Trevor Brosiedon Im not a big fan of classes with Backlash. It seems like such a neat idea and can be useful protecting team members but it doesnt hold up at all in gold matches. Even at higher upgrades I have never seen it perform well.
Backlash is great vs Observers, Annointed, and Ascendants. As long as you don't hold it up until it breaks and staggers you, you can reflect a large chunk of damage back at them. I don't use it though as the Asari Sentinel is a worse version of the Human Sentinel imo, and the Asari Duelist just melees and kinda ignores backlash anyway.
+Trevor Brosiedon I completely agree. Ive never seen it used well but thats also because like youre saying classes that have it dont typically use it very often.
i haven't gotten the chance to step into gold yet, but Backlash is best used just to cross vulnerable poaitions, or rrflecting single shot, large damage projectiles. especially useful for the observer, like you said, and nullifier and even Hydra. one solidly timed Backlash can protect your team and put out that little bit of extra damage. BTW I've noticed that most multiplayers in Andromeda lack basic common sense and drop like flies even om bronze...
Trevor Brosiedon haha youre right about that dude :p i only recently found out that you can reflect nullifier beams and even ascendant orbs. xD its pretty funny to see the ascendant orb bounce right back and through a wave of enemies. :p
Salarian Infiltrator cannot carry heavy weapons :( I stopped using him for gold levels. I like his funny comments. on other hand, human female/male infiltrator can start extract gold after leveling them up to 10 and above tip: Apex mobile app will assist you to level up quicker as you can play on the go
vanguards are for the new scrubs trying to belong in gold. they tend to die when they are sorrounded by groups. angara avenger with a sniper, stickies and on top of that invisible strike that stunts the enemies. dude and I thought you knew about this game
+manuel gramajo Thanks for the comment! :D I'm sorry that I don't know as much about not being a "scrub" as you do, as you seem to be the resident expert on how to be the best, but at least I know how to spell 'surrounded.'
+Gaming Korner Those are both great choices but they need to be played well to do well. A lot of people tend to build too offensively and neglect the support/defensive side of those classes. I completely agree that they can both be incredibly strong in the right hands but i havent seen many people who can do it well, especially with classes like the salarian operator having a very small health pool. The classes I featured are all really easy to pickup and play with any weapons, theyre eay to unlock and theyre very reliable for gold missions even if youre not the greatest mass effect player. I appreciate the comment and would love to hear what you have had a lot of success with, as well as the weapons and upgrades you use to do well.
I played Dragon age inquisition Multiplayer for ever and i loved it but this lame Mass effect Multiplayer feels like a more clunky and complicated experience while having Lag!
every class is good long as you build them into crowd control and damage debuff. always going for maximum damage is not a good idea, the difference is a few shots more. the most powerful class is simply human soldier build into frag grenade and consessive shot, for nades go with radius and for shots go with power cells! it can easly clear rooms! my load out: combat power amp disrupter ammo power cell capacity hurricane pistol falcon assault rifle (it takes ascendant's orb down no matter where you hit it)
When it comes to infiltrators the ones with stealth grid outrule every other, when it comes to uploads... basically you cloak everyone for the whole duration with no difficulty whatsoever. Take the angara avenger, he's pretty fucking awesome, never failed a gold match with my melee build
i played on gold with people with 12k+ Apex rating that had level 20 class 10 rare characters. i finished 1st with the human inflitrator hands down the best class
its the engineers for me, esp the krogen eng. set the assault turret up with flamethrower indoors in a choke point and your rage will be triggered the entire match, esp if you use a shotgun
So you just completely forgot about the Salarian Operator? Really? Debuffing and entire wave of enemies didn't make this list. Gold is a cake walk with him.
+Blue Shadow Ive played quite a bit of gold missions and never really saw a Salarian Operator that knew what they were doing. On paper the class has a lot of abilities that should make him quite strong but utilizing those abilities correctly, especially on gold, can be difficult for some. A lot of people tend to forget how squishy this class is and prioritize offensive abilities over defensive. Salarian Operator is not the only class that, when built right and played by an experienced player, can do very well at any difficulty. I would love to hear more about what upgrades and weapons youre running to make it a "cake walk" for you. Thanks for the comment dude!
Primary weapon is the Equalizer Secondary weapon is Charger Rank X will help but is not needed The way I spec is to be a support character. So when I build I build my Invasion to spread to multiple enemies and and have them blow up when they reach a certain HP. Which in the process have enemies blowing up left and right. You literally will see INVASION in the kill feed for the most part. My Shield boost is spec to recharge very quickly with increased delay reduction. And more often than not I've gotten many of my team out of sticky situation with this as they instantly get their shields back My overload is left at 1 as I primary used to stun enemies when I'm in a pinch, to stun an enemy that's about to stump my team mate out or to stun them after I debuffed them with invasion so the SICKNESS spread more As for defense I spec into health for the most part but still spec into power damage. Currently my Operator is rank 1 but when I get him to X... well it's gonna be crazy. It's also strange that even though he's a supporter character I play him offensive and defensive and I'm usually at the top of the leaderboard with a personal best at 40k exp after a round on gold with all gold medals
+Blue Shadow Haha that sounds awesome dude. Hopefully I get lucky and unlock him but every premium crate I get has another uncommon class. XD I would love to try this and Im glad to see there are some people having lots of success with classes that arent the most broken and easy to win with. :P
I actually miss andromeda multiplayer... hope that we get another mass effect multiplayer experience
Been playing andromeda multiplayer the last few days on xbox. Can always find a game at bronze silver and even most the time i can fins gold matches
Yep servers are decent on Xbone. Quick match doesn't take long at all
I've been playing it a lot recently on xbone. Usually don't have any problems finding gold games.
Best class....salarain infiltrater. Use the shadow with an ammo type and you'll destroy anything and everything
+Ryan Underwood My favorite Infiltrator! Energy Drain, even at low levels, can be that tiny boost you need to stay alive in tough situations. :)
Trauma exactly. I only have one point in his health and I rarely go down. The cool thing about the class is you constantly have weapon damage buffs if you spec him right
+Ryan Underwood Haha yea :p Reliable, consistent damage and the versatility to safely revive team mates, complete objectives and extract without issue. Definitely one of the strongest characters. :)
The Angara Avenger is probably one of my favorite classes to play, after equipping a grenade capacity upgrade I tried it out for the first time in a gold solo, and by god man, how did it not receive high praise in this video? If it can successfully solo a gold at lvl 1, and manage to stay invisible half the time while bringing me back to my MW2 commando pro days, then it has my respect
+Matte Black Haha thats good to hear!
I think that a pair of Adepts together are more powerful than any other duo. stay within eachothers Annihilation field and boost eachothers shields with each kill for constant lance chaining. Done right is insanely powerful AND tanky. But yeah, if you dont have the right support with you then you'll get melted.
The male and female human adept are awesome in gold, I play them both a lot and to be honest my favourite class.
+M Richardson Ive had a lot of people say the basic human classes are some of the best and I have to agree! Theyre very well balanced
"most of the weapons are relatively balanced" ............. K. If by balanced you mean complete trash then yh i completely agree
+John Cain while i agree that not all of the weapons are great, they are still pretty balanced. Its not like single player where you get access to augments to make them amazing. A lot of it comes down to playstyle, for instance the crusader shotgun isnt a common pick but when used on a class with the final level of tactical cloak you essentially have a high capacity sniper rifle similar to the vanquisher. Combine that with the penetration mod and youve essentially created a railgun. There are tons of weapons that can work really well under certain circumstances.
What are your weapons of choice, John? I know a lot of people have to use the cards theyre dealt and havent unlocked a lot of weapons but im curious to hear whats working well for you.
Personally, i just stuck with the avenger and charger and got them to rank X before opening gold. I now use revenant and talon/charger sometimes equalizer. Scattershot with the duelist for combo cancels. Too many weapons are just gimmicks and aren't all that useful.
+John Cain I love using the revenant! The description says that its a gun favored by warlords, and my inner Krogsn really likes that. Lol
It's a really solid gun, lots of ammo, nice dmg and great rate of fire plus the accuracy isn't half bad either. Whenever I try new weapons I always end up going back to it it's so reliable on any charter class.
+John Cain Haha agreed. Throw it on a class with Turbocharge and unleash the fury. Its too bad you cant augment weapons like in single player because the revenant is amazing with the homing plasma rounds augmentation. :p
Someone else has probably said it already, but the KroGuard absolutely and literally eats unshielded opponents with properly levelled rage and charge; the bonus stack from melee synergy and rage only taking two hits at top level means you're almost as unstoppable as the Phoenix Vanguard from ME3MP.

No, I carried it through my entire SP playthrough and then ditched it at the end for the Inferno. The Revenant just doesn't feel the same either, that thing was the tits (technical term) ME3MP.
Asari huntress is very good probably my favorite able to cloak allies giving buff to them as well as easily spam lance and throw at enemies

Most Salarian Operators die quickly from having such a low health pool. Vanguards who die, especially playing the Krogsn Vanguard are just plain bad at the game. Also the Krogan Mercenary is a much tankier choice for melting armored targets using flamethrower.
I appreciate the comment, friend. What classes do you enjoy playing in gold?
Trauma Mostly ive played Salarian Operator, as a support it turns ur team into Terminators aslong as they dont go lonewolf. Also enjoy Angara Avenger. started lvling my X human vanguard after this video and I must say i agree with u. He is very strong. I dont like playing the krogans so i went with the Human Vanguard instead.
Never tried the Flamethrower, with most dmg powers being as underwhelming as they are i figured a weapon would still be better against armoured targets then the Flamethrower?
vanguard with any shotgun+5b/6b barrier+ prime nova never dies.
But but.. shotguns are so weak..
I keep praying to the RNG gods for a hurricane but no luck. Keep getting the crappy Soned
Shotgun only to increased melee damage mod
Awesome!
+Geezerbe Gaming Thanks dude! :D
Fucking asari sword is op
The Turian Havoc does NOT deserve an honorable mention. She lacks any accelerated shield or health regen. I know she has more health and shield than most but she lacks damage resistance (unless in air). So the TSol is slightly more tanky with Fortify activate, plus more importantly he has the low health bonus and two ways to hasten shield regen. The Havoc's boost to damage from Incinerate doesn't supersede it's lack of sustainability.
TSol all the way! lol
+Alexander Bethea Hey thanks for the response dude. I still feel the Turian HT is a great damage dealer and gains a lot of damage resistance when moving around the map with dashes/evades. A lot of this game comes down to personal preference, how you build and how you play. If you can do well on another class then Im glad! All power to you.
What else do you like to play as?
Asari Adept and Salarian Infiltrator are my other two favorites. So good job there. I use everything though. I wanna have every single character at level 20
+Alexander Bethea That would be awesome. You could probably teach me a bunch of things at that point. XD
Havoc trooper with a soned minigun and her massive bonuses to damage resistance and accuracy while airborne literally turn her into an a-10 warthog air strike tool.
Turbocharge, jump and hover, and unleash steel rain on everything below. Bonus: she can have like 12, possibly more, charges for flak cannon, and firing a half dozen of those into a crowd of enemies makes quick work of them.
What's with the Roman numerals next to the title?
Pretty much every class is good in certain ways (and all are capable of doing gold). The only class that is bad is the Architect imo
+Trevor Brosiedon Im not a big fan of classes with Backlash. It seems like such a neat idea and can be useful protecting team members but it doesnt hold up at all in gold matches. Even at higher upgrades I have never seen it perform well.
Backlash is great vs Observers, Annointed, and Ascendants. As long as you don't hold it up until it breaks and staggers you, you can reflect a large chunk of damage back at them. I don't use it though as the Asari Sentinel is a worse version of the Human Sentinel imo, and the Asari Duelist just melees and kinda ignores backlash anyway.
+Trevor Brosiedon I completely agree. Ive never seen it used well but thats also because like youre saying classes that have it dont typically use it very often.
i haven't gotten the chance to step into gold yet, but Backlash is best used just to cross vulnerable poaitions, or rrflecting single shot, large damage projectiles. especially useful for the observer, like you said, and nullifier and even Hydra. one solidly timed Backlash can protect your team and put out that little bit of extra damage. BTW I've noticed that most multiplayers in Andromeda lack basic common sense and drop like flies even om bronze...
Trevor Brosiedon haha youre right about that dude :p i only recently found out that you can reflect nullifier beams and even ascendant orbs. xD its pretty funny to see the ascendant orb bounce right back and through a wave of enemies. :p
There is no best class for multiplayer in this game. There are way too many variables involved to even remotely make a statement of that nature.
Salarian Infiltrator cannot carry heavy weapons :( I stopped using him for gold levels. I like his funny comments.
on other hand, human female/male infiltrator can start extract gold after leveling them up to 10 and above
tip: Apex mobile app will assist you to level up quicker as you can play on the go
+TheDxbsam Thats good to know! Thanks dude. :D
Why did you say he can't carry heavy weapons ? I use him with assault riffle + sniper riffle equiped.
vanguards are for the new scrubs trying to belong in gold. they tend to die when they are sorrounded by groups. angara avenger with a sniper, stickies and on top of that invisible strike that stunts the enemies. dude and I thought you knew about this game
+manuel gramajo Thanks for the comment! :D I'm sorry that I don't know as much about not being a "scrub" as you do, as you seem to be the resident expert on how to be the best, but at least I know how to spell 'surrounded.'
Trauma nice fallacy, couldn't stick to the topic and argue what he brought up. Its cute seeing these responses kek
Class doesn't matter, it's the weapons that matter. If you have the best weapons maxed out you can win with any class.
What about the N7 characters? Like any of them lol?
Gaming Korner a lot of them can be very strong but arent super reliable. its kind of sad that the most overpowered character is an uncommon class :p
But what about the salarian operator, or Angara avenger with the stealth grid and invasion no? I do know that asari adept is over powered tho
+Gaming Korner Those are both great choices but they need to be played well to do well. A lot of people tend to build too offensively and neglect the support/defensive side of those classes. I completely agree that they can both be incredibly strong in the right hands but i havent seen many people who can do it well, especially with classes like the salarian operator having a very small health pool. The classes I featured are all really easy to pickup and play with any weapons, theyre eay to unlock and theyre very reliable for gold missions even if youre not the greatest mass effect player.
I appreciate the comment and would love to hear what you have had a lot of success with, as well as the weapons and upgrades you use to do well.
How about the engineer?
I played Dragon age inquisition Multiplayer for ever and i loved it but this lame Mass effect Multiplayer feels like a more clunky and complicated experience while having Lag!
+Baird Carver Its a hige improvement over the ME:3 multiplayer. :P I do see where you're coming from though.
every class is good long as you build them into crowd control and damage debuff. always going for maximum damage is not a good idea, the difference is a few shots more.
the most powerful class is simply human soldier build into frag grenade and consessive shot, for nades go with radius and for shots go with power cells! it can easly clear rooms!
my load out:
combat power amp
disrupter ammo
power cell capacity
hurricane pistol
falcon assault rifle (it takes ascendant's orb down no matter where you hit it)
+Son of Persia I love the Falcon xD I got lucky and opened it right away. I agree though. Every class can be good in the right hands. :)
if I wouldve known that you would mention Turian trooper I wouldve stopped watching this video. what a waste of time
+manuel gramajo Oh, no! You could've spent that time using a sniper rifle on every class! What a waste, indeed.
The Kineticist beats the Adept hands down.
When it comes to infiltrators the ones with stealth grid outrule every other, when it comes to uploads... basically you cloak everyone for the whole duration with no difficulty whatsoever. Take the angara avenger, he's pretty fucking awesome, never failed a gold match with my melee build
+Áron Puskás Haha, nice! :D
i played on gold with people with 12k+ Apex rating that had level 20 class 10 rare characters. i finished 1st with the human inflitrator hands down the best class
Infiltrator is BEAST
its the engineers for me, esp the krogen eng. set the assault turret up with flamethrower indoors in a choke point and your rage will be triggered the entire match, esp if you use a shotgun
Is that Buzz Light Year.
Yes!
So you just completely forgot about the Salarian Operator? Really? Debuffing and entire wave of enemies didn't make this list. Gold is a cake walk with him.
+Blue Shadow Ive played quite a bit of gold missions and never really saw a Salarian Operator that knew what they were doing. On paper the class has a lot of abilities that should make him quite strong but utilizing those abilities correctly, especially on gold, can be difficult for some. A lot of people tend to forget how squishy this class is and prioritize offensive abilities over defensive. Salarian Operator is not the only class that, when built right and played by an experienced player, can do very well at any difficulty.
I would love to hear more about what upgrades and weapons youre running to make it a "cake walk" for you. Thanks for the comment dude!
Primary weapon is the Equalizer
Secondary weapon is Charger
Rank X will help but is not needed
The way I spec is to be a support character.
So when I build I build my Invasion to spread to multiple enemies and and have them blow up when they reach a certain HP. Which in the process have enemies blowing up left and right. You literally will see INVASION in the kill feed for the most part.
My Shield boost is spec to recharge very quickly with increased delay reduction. And more often than not I've gotten many of my team out of sticky situation with this as they instantly get their shields back
My overload is left at 1 as I primary used to stun enemies when I'm in a pinch, to stun an enemy that's about to stump my team mate out or to stun them after I debuffed them with invasion so the SICKNESS spread more
As for defense I spec into health for the most part but still spec into power damage. Currently my Operator is rank 1 but when I get him to X... well it's gonna be crazy.
It's also strange that even though he's a supporter character I play him offensive and defensive and I'm usually at the top of the leaderboard with a personal best at 40k exp after a round on gold with all gold medals
+Blue Shadow Haha that sounds awesome dude. Hopefully I get lucky and unlock him but every premium crate I get has another uncommon class. XD I would love to try this and Im glad to see there are some people having lots of success with classes that arent the most broken and easy to win with. :P
