Worth mentioning that since this build doesn't use recharge time, you can take whatever weapons you want in loadout regardless of weight because it doesn't matter
It's not an internal cool down or stagger. the enemies are primed for detonation by the field then have to re-enter the field to be primed for a second detonation. Just back off then charge in and use the second combo detonator
Vortex actually can be worth it. If everything that's not armoured and without a shield is floating and unable to attack that's a damage debuff right there. This allows you and your team to take them out more easily or ignore them to take out the shielded and armoured targets instead.
if you have a teammate its amazing made use of it on my krogan glad and its really good but i generally pug for these gameplays so the builds will be based around playing solo :D
Awesome! I didn't like Lance at all because of how easy it is to miss with it, but if you're aiming at someone within your AF then obviously it's not much of a problem. Gotta respec and try it your way. Great idea of this AF / Lance synergy,
I absolutely love this build. I only have Rank 3 Asari unlocked, so I die a bit since there is only 1 skill point into barrier. What makes this build so great is the fact that you need to be aware of your surroundings and need to stick with your team. Just ran a team on silver: Lvl 15 Asari Adept Lvl 20 Asari Adept Lvl 14 Asari Huntress Lvl 18 Salarian Infiltrator Explosions everywhere.
I'm really enjoying your build guides, Wolf. I've incorporated most of them and they work like a charm. Your commentary is always very educational and well thought out. Kudos and keep up the great work!
After watching a lot of other vids and then this, I think this is better. Only drawback is fragility without shields... I'll see if I'm good enough to deal with that. But first, a LOT of grinding to do >.
Maybe it's class specific, but you can actually get multiple combo detonations from an AOE Primer and AOE Detonator combo. Human Vanguard can spec Nova to prime all targets surrounding them, then follow up with a Radius spec Charge or a dodge/shockwave to detonate an entire spawn. The result distinctly procs multiple biotic explosions in rapid succession as the Shockwave travels through the pack.
Maybe that internal cool down is really annihilate's proc timer? (Theory being that annihilate primes in intervals, likely when the damage ticks, and combos remove the prime effect.)
Wolfian Not separate priming, aoe damage tick and priming. It's just that a combo removes the primer debuff until the next tick. The only way to confirm this theory is to perfectly time a lance/throw or lance/lance, and there is no practical alteration to ganeplay....
Leeter Redeemed true I can see that but then explain that for the tech combo field? you shoot a target with disruptor ammo you detonate them the combo field is put on the ground and insta ticks damage but yet you can't combo off it right away you need to leave it a second they're two seperate entities the field primer and the ammo primer with your thoughts here it would mean I could combo -> combo which you can't do with asari sent because energy drain tech combo then a throw afterwards won't trigger a combo right away you have to energy drain wait a second then throw to trigger it even though the field primer it a seperate instant damaging entity I see what you mean and I can see it but there's other situations that disprove the theory
Wolfian I haven't had any experience with the scenario you're describing. Not even sure which skill you're referring to as tech combo field. But if it functions vaguely like annihilate, this could disprove my theory.
Good build but man your mind is "damage damage damage" I'm glad you like the fast paced play with her but I hate that MEA is so fast paced now. All the close range weapons are godly & there are so many enemies that flush you out of cover
the talon is a massive part of this build however if you have an N7 Pirahna it will work even better the reason for the talon is the massive up front freight train of damage it does allowing for the combo of talon shot lance talon shot taking targets down at exceptional speeds
Great video, love the Asari Adept kit. But it should be noted, that nothing increases combo dmg except the "+combo dmg" stat (and ofc target debuffs). And even though your build is combo focused, wouldn't 5A be better than 5B in offensive biotics? Sure, you'll increase your combo dmg by only 20% instead of 30, but you'll incrase your dmg by 20% with everything, initial Lance hit included. Also 2x 20% debuff is insane. But you would lose the extra combo radius, which could hurt. Btw will need to find myself a pocket Insurgent, they indeed are an awesome duo :) The craziest run so far I had was her + 2 human VanGODs, explosions and punches all around, the fastest gold match I've played so far.
5A V 5B is alot of personal preference as i like to go for the lance sprees that you saw at the start going with combo damage is alot better for me as it gives me more damage on my lance spam which i make use of the most as well as which the target switching lances i feel it provides more AOE damage than the 20% would as each combo does AOE damage to everything around it so its a bonus 10% flat repeatedly to each enemy you rotate the combos on if you see what i mean there
Yeah, for aoe dmg it makes sense. Hopefully in the future it will be a larger difference, because combos will deal more dmg, hence the 10% difference will be all the more noticeable.
I love the Adept, but I feel like it is more of a front line support class, like the Juistcar from ME3. Don't get me wrong, the build is amazing, but you can easily get overwhelmed by 2 of 3 grunts if you're surrounded. However, following a soldier, and buffing him, and just watch the world melt around you. Asari Adept is my go to for a crowd control when in a party with an aggressive soldier/krogan.
I didn't see the adaptive war amp in the store. I already had the juggernaut shield. Maybe it's in the store in different platforms at different times.
There is no "internal cooldown" on detonations. With field if you want to detonate the same target again, you must get the target to leave the field then re-enter the field to re-prime it. It has worked this way since ME3.
That or it has to let another tick of the damage from the field to prime the enemy for detonation again. thus being the 1 second delay till the combo can be detonated again.
"Asari Adept rank 10, not all that hard to get" I've unlocked most of the uncommon characters to 8 or 9 and have only got my adept to 2. My RNG must suck balls.
Vortex is way better in my opinion. Shields are pretty but they break so easily and it's really useful against the angry looking dogs. Also, if you use double throw instead of the other one it technically get twice as powerful as long as you hit 2 targets.
Very nice build man, I like it alot. I am still not sure if +30% combo damage is better then -20% debuff... let me know in future if you ever switch and test this out :)
You say not to melee. I did see another vid showing this class as a melee build...getting 20% Shield back on a punch seems decent to then follow up w a Lance. Thoughts?
FACE I wanted to try to make a viable biotic caster and it proved my offmeta side however you can play it however you like the punch would essentially substitute for a talon shot :p
isn't exposure better than combo detonator as your gun and the rest of your abilities would have higher base damages due to 20% defense reduction rather that just doing 30% extra combo dmg which happens less frequently?
the combo damage actually happens alot more frequently both are good choices but to pull off the lance sprees and things you see at the start of the video i use combo detonation because to do that im not shooting my talon much the combo is generally lance talon shot lance but for chains like that its just lance lance lance which is more combo damage with 30% but its up to you
Wolfian i see now, i never noticed how big the combo radius actually was. Does getting caught in the combo radius trigger a internal cooldown or does that only happen if they get hit by lance directly?
could we see this on a non Outlaw Gold match? Kett in particular, but remnant would be ok too. Outlaws are definitely the weakest of the bunch. I'm interested to see how the build stacks up vs tougher enemies.
the speed capability we ran 3 asari adepts and a krogan vanguard and we pulled a 12 minute gold the fastest ive ever done along side the fact of people saying biotics are bad i wanted to prove them wrong but its mostly because of the biotic link math i go into around 7-8 minutes in you can keep doing massive damage while being sudo invulnerable if you keep killing stuff :D
There actually is a point in a melee build. The idea behind one is so you can clear gold while being survivable to get better weapons. After you can transfer to a build like this.
Rexleflex T1aO blast radius is only essentially a bigger hitbox for the projectile it would affect the combo at all that's combo radius & combo damage blast radius makes the projectile a little easier to hit that's about it
Wolfian cool, I can't imagine this character with charge instead if throw. Have you tried this with multiple Asari adepts? You can get 4x 30% shields back if the enemies die in your fields. That's just free shields all day long. I tried it it's a lot of fun.
PC easier than ps4 (better aiming/aim programs/help programs/cheat programs)& more shield more health than ps4.At ps4 the shield is 318 max & health 489 😉
I tried this build today it's not invincible but fuck me is it easy. It's like the embodiment of the pre-patch vanquisher. Requires no skill whatsoever and instantly at the top of leaderboard
I want to spend $100 on Andromeda Currency. It is advised to spend it on Premium Packs. However, I will get 3 times less packs if I get Premium Packs VS Advanced Packs. In order to use character effectively, you need a level 10 character. If I max out Human Infiltrator vs Asari Adept (lets say I get her to level 5), I will still benefit from not buying Premium Packs. Are Rare and Ultra Rare characters vastly superior to Basic or Uncommon Characters? I won't spend more than $100 on the packs. What is the best bang for the buck? Thank you
It's good for you as youtuber to be so overpositive. But this build is still worse than Fury adept from me3. It is my favorite charachter. Basicly because anihilation is not draining shields instantly. And fury was just so much faster. Then you need to play solo/carry some waves alone to make sure it's so unkillable. You speak to loud about that while having shield boosting co. I hope it is but mines at about lvl 10 yet so cant confirm myself. Not sure if internal cooldown exists. But priming with anih. and detonating with lance and detonating with throw should not work as you see. You need to get the enemy out of the anih field radius and prime again. Thats where fury was beast with teleportation ability. Great video. But proves nothing about biotics are good. That was only good biotic character and still stays.
depends on how much I've streamed and talked recently I stream 6+ hours a day it wears out my throat so some videos may sound different than others I'm Canadian if your wondering about the accent and lads is my thing aswell as the Wolf Pack everyone's got they're thing and that's mine :p
Other video: Just experiment, lads This video: Don't play her melee, just don't no hate, just thought that was a bit hypocritical, but I know what you were getting at
jrbiff18 kinda is but I said that as melee is the meta way everyone plays her this is my experiment and it proves my point just sticking to meta would make you miss things like this build :p if you see what I mean it is kinda contradictory but it fills what I said at the same time
Wolfian yeah, My comment is taken a bit out of context, and I definitely see what you meant, honestly, I'm just excited to try out this build when I level her up, great videos, my man! :D
Only thing they nerfed is now all enemies melee attacks can now stagger you. I've been using the same build as pre patch and I'm having no real issues. You just can't run into groups anymore
the asari adept can be very efficient, sure. I don't like it that much though, because i don't really see the benefit for the team here. I've seen it often enough that these adepts are circling the map, always on the hunt for the easy target. they "assist" you when you totally got it covered, and as soon as 2 berserks show up... they're gone, stealing somebody elses kills... I understand that playing an asari adept can be a lot of fun and get u to the top of the scoreboard, but sometimes it kinda sucks for the rest of the team.
Stanislaus Katczinsky there's a multitude of different roles in this game the main two I focus on are HVT and street sweeper builds hvt or high value target builds like my salarian infiltratior with a sniper rifle is fantastic st dealing with berserkers and hydras taking the major threat off the field where as street sweepers like my kroguard and asari adept specialise in cleaning up the red hp enemies to leave nothing left but hvts for the team's sniper to deal with without a street sweeper not only would you get swarmed by zerkers & hydras but raiders and adhis too these builds take care of that and are extremely fun to play to top it off
I'm sorry, but youre just wrong. "Ive seen often that these adepts are circling the map, on the hunt for easy kills." Last time i checked, based on her kit, she is most effective at close range and she is squishy so of course youll move around the map alot, plus staying in range of enemies boost her survivability. It has zero to do with looking for easy kills. "as soon as two berserkers show up... they're gone". It really depend on situation rather you regroup or try to take out a heavy. Me personal have no problem taking out armored or sheilded targets with the adept, but if its overrun in an area, who in their right mind would stay? Youre already squishy, you may get barrier back but that isnt worth shit if you take more damage than you regen.
Whenever I play any class with Annihilation I always stick close to the targets that need my defense debuff. In fact, I've quite often run into the opposite, where my allies all run off in different directions when we should be focusing fire on the larger threats.
Stanislaus Katczinsky oh....you one of those guys. The points are all shared so I don't get the jealousy of stealing kills. Plus that would be an adepts role. Like the infiltrator snipers role is to take out the tanks, revive and get the devices.
+Freddie Howard Kill stealing can actually be a problem for some classes. When I played Krogan Vanguard I got frustrated that people wouldn't let me finish my targets with Melee to activate my Krogan Rage.
The people who say that adepts only run around the map taking care of the weaker enemies that's kind of the entire point of biotics. It literally says "specializes in crowd control tactics". I can see why that's annoying but it allows the stronger characters to direct focus onto armored enemies while you clean up the trash that flanks your team.
console updates behind PC which is stupid mass effect 3 made its huge success from the console playerbase and they decide to put PC ahead of the console platform/Comunity that made the game so big in the first place have to wait till Thursday for new stuff so pissed have no idea this bioware team are crap and should of gotten help from the old team in some aspect nothing but a cash grab same with every dammm game that comes out
"You destroy everything" - except Hydras and Berserkers and Anointed and any other stronger enemy on gold difficulty. I play Asari Adept as melee class, she is restoring her shield 20% with every melee hit. On gold, 1 vs 1 against Hydra, I always win. Berserkers can't do anything to me because of insane shield restoration. And also, I do not spend a single bullet during all 7 waves. Also, as melee class you can kill trash mobs with 2 hits, it is so much faster than what you show in this video. On that note, if you wish to play good melee class, go for Krogan Adept, his melee attacks are AOE, and he can heal HP and he can do Biotic Charge :)
used up all your first aid packs by the early stages of wave 3 while talking about great survivability there's no internal combo cooldown, annihilation primes everything that enters and once detonated the prime is gone. if you want to re-prime them with annihilation they have to re-enter it. I spent a whole mission double throwing with a friend, throw(prime)->throw(det, re-prime)->any det it was mainly for fun, we spent a lot of time watching bodies fly, but it worked. even detted a tech burst with throw then another throw for biotic combo. melee works great with your build specifically, lance-use shields-punch-get shields
Nice Video , love the action! I'm not a big gamer or anything like that, but I just like watching you kick butt while I paint. Very exciting to watch. new subscriber #3,976 Thank you. Please check out my latest video
The angara avenger is much easier to carry a match with If you need build info let me know, though, honestly you can spec into anything as long as your Passives are maxed.
Medals = XP. Kills do a bit. And scales upward with difficulty. The whole system sucks and is a painful grind. Example: I need 135000 for level 13. Extraction gives 1000, medals give 100-500 XP, kills are 125, assists are 75. (Not exact numbers but rough ones) Siphon weapons solo everything else. Get one and you will get through most things way easier.
what about the krogan nova, charge build? i just got him and am wondering hether i should go for it and invest the time to bring it up. If not, any other build? we re currently starting on silver with my friends.
I got my 28k gold run using a melee build I made using the jump melee I one shot even shielded enemies and get full Shields from the kills spamming it is fun so there are two ways to play her both OP just depends which you prefer I will try the Lance shield drain build which I knew the second I saw the skills on her but good to see I'm not the only one who figured it out haha nice video
#thewall naw jk i dont have the duelist yet maybe by next DLC il get an ultra rare character :P i saw her kit and was kinda like wtf do i even do with that how do you build her?
Wolfian It's a teleporting Melee class mostly focused on biotic charge +melee Its basically endless shield gain Since your charge is on +75% recharge speed And 20% shield gain for each melee kill And they can't touch you since you vanish Right before you strike with melee I fought a whole group of ket And they still couldn't deplete my shield Since I kept charging on everything I saw Because the incredibly fast recharge speed Offensive biotic rank 3 = +15% melee damage Rank4 =15% all power recharge speeds Rank 5 = +30 melee damage Rank6 = +50 melee damage +15% melee force Barrier Rank 3 = +30% melee damage Rank 5= shield restored melee 20% And +50 % melee damage I use the dhan shotgun just for the looks But 28% melee damage mod And juggernaut shield for the 75% melee So maximum over kill with melee
Nocturnal Rainbows Krogans are strong But they slow and stiff I feel like they stuck in the mud almost They stiff as a board I snap them in half So it's nice destroying their score
gah my last trophy is the insanity difficulty run or do 5 gold extractions in multiplayer, im still on the fence on which route to take. Getting the 5 golds looks faster overall. But i can only really run with randoms and im still in the process of leveling up things to do this. I just unlocked this class. Im gonna assume i should focus on getting annihilation to rank 6 first so it can help out everyone at once then go the selfish route and level up lance etc after. Would it be better to start trying the melee route until you can unlock all the skills you really need to make it shine here and then respec? I just really want to get the trophy and be done with the game :(
Powderedtoast Man 5 gold extracts is a cake walk man dw if you looking for an easy gold build you can use this or my 3 other reccomendations are salarian infiltratior turian soldier or Krogan vanguard or even better play a support like angara insurgent or human engi even and make your team's life easy you've got 3 other people with you let em help you ^.^ ps I do gold at lvl 1 it's not that bad
Wolfian thanks for replying! my highest level currently is the engineer @ 16. I haven't seen what's so special about it in random play. I still have more than enough random groups getting wiped on silver rank. my turret feels useless, my cryo beam tend to get me kill trying to freeze the armored dudes, and overload seems like the only decent thing to stun then get a free kill. but most of the time it's always like 2 people constantly going around melee everything in sight. I don't blame them, I usually have to reload my guns one or twice to get a kill if I'm not getting head shots. but all good, I managed to suck it up and speed run it on insanity ng+ took me like 6 hours skipping all the garbage. so I have my platinum now. but I still want to be able to kill stuff quickly like in the video for multiplayer. because last time I played everything felt like a bullet sponge on silver 😢
Powderedtoast Man np man gz on the platinum :3 if you wanna try a good early dps build try the turian soldier if you have it if not Roll a human soldier with a charger or raptor you can look at my turian soldier build video which I would link but I'm on my phone rn the build can be kinda remade for human soldier and would probably still work and the whole build is accessible via basic packs I'm thinking of doing some kind of "budget gold" series to make gold viable builds with bronze and silver tier of classes after I finish off my other characters anyways but hopefully that helps you a bit and gz on your completion ^.^
Wolfian I watched it the other day roaming around youtube. still gotta get in the mood to level up things. melee dudes always stealing my kills haha. overload vanquisher shot then some Jerk headbutts and takes the last little bit of health if I missed the head shot. haha I'll try out this class or the turian one. I haven't tried it again since they patched the game, maybe my other guns will kill things now. thanks for the replies and good luck in your future vids
Worth mentioning that since this build doesn't use recharge time, you can take whatever weapons you want in loadout regardless of weight because it doesn't matter
Well it would increase throw recharge rate tho...
It's not an internal cool down or stagger. the enemies are primed for detonation by the field then have to re-enter the field to be primed for a second detonation. Just back off then charge in and use the second combo detonator
This build is so friggin baller! I respec my level 20 Asari Adept X to this last night and just went on a tear! Keep up the good work! SUBSCRIBED!
Vortex actually can be worth it. If everything that's not armoured and without a shield is floating and unable to attack that's a damage debuff right there. This allows you and your team to take them out more easily or ignore them to take out the shielded and armoured targets instead.
Used that during the early single player campaign. Turned Insanity into easy mode since enemies couldn't rush or flank me.
if you have a teammate its amazing made use of it on my krogan glad and its really good but i generally pug for these gameplays so the builds will be based around playing solo :D
Awesome! I didn't like Lance at all because of how easy it is to miss with it, but if you're aiming at someone within your AF then obviously it's not much of a problem. Gotta respec and try it your way. Great idea of this AF / Lance synergy,
I absolutely love this build. I only have Rank 3 Asari unlocked, so I die a bit since there is only 1 skill point into barrier. What makes this build so great is the fact that you need to be aware of your surroundings and need to stick with your team. Just ran a team on silver:
Lvl 15 Asari Adept
Lvl 20 Asari Adept
Lvl 14 Asari Huntress
Lvl 18 Salarian Infiltrator
Explosions everywhere.
I'm really enjoying your build guides, Wolf. I've incorporated most of them and they work like a charm. Your commentary is always very educational and well thought out. Kudos and keep up the great work!
After watching a lot of other vids and then this, I think this is better.
Only drawback is fragility without shields... I'll see if I'm good enough to deal with that.
But first, a LOT of grinding to do >.
Fucking hate how they've tied skill points to character cards.
Maybe it's class specific, but you can actually get multiple combo detonations from an AOE Primer and AOE Detonator combo. Human Vanguard can spec Nova to prime all targets surrounding them, then follow up with a Radius spec Charge or a dodge/shockwave to detonate an entire spawn. The result distinctly procs multiple biotic explosions in rapid succession as the Shockwave travels through the pack.
gotta say, I thought this character was shit. then I try your build and I enjoyed it. keep it up.
Hey great video. Thanks for uploading.
Maybe that internal cool down is really annihilate's proc timer? (Theory being that annihilate primes in intervals, likely when the damage ticks, and combos remove the prime effect.)
i could see that as it primes everyone in the area seperately i suppose? possibly
Wolfian Not separate priming, aoe damage tick and priming. It's just that a combo removes the primer debuff until the next tick. The only way to confirm this theory is to perfectly time a lance/throw or lance/lance, and there is no practical alteration to ganeplay....

Leeter Redeemed when you detonate disruptor ammo it puts a tech field on the ground your able to combo off of
Good build but man your mind is "damage damage damage"
I'm glad you like the fast paced play with her but I hate that MEA is so fast paced now. All the close range weapons are godly & there are so many enemies that flush you out of cover
So if cooldown reduction doesnt matter at all why not just get a bunch of good close range weapons instead of just a single pistol?
The only pistol I care about is talon
Almighty talon has no equal
the talon is a massive part of this build however if you have an N7 Pirahna it will work even better the reason for the talon is the massive up front freight train of damage it does allowing for the combo of talon shot lance talon shot taking targets down at exceptional speeds
Great video, love the Asari Adept kit. But it should be noted, that nothing increases combo dmg except the "+combo dmg" stat (and ofc target debuffs).

Doesn't 5A increase damage from all your teammates aswell? Should help out
Yeah, for aoe dmg it makes sense. Hopefully in the future it will be a larger difference, because combos will deal more dmg, hence the 10% difference will be all the more noticeable.
I love the Adept, but I feel like it is more of a front line support class, like the Juistcar from ME3. Don't get me wrong, the build is amazing, but you can easily get overwhelmed by 2 of 3 grunts if you're surrounded. However, following a soldier, and buffing him, and just watch the world melt around you. Asari Adept is my go to for a crowd control when in a party with an aggressive soldier/krogan.
I didn't see the adaptive war amp in the store. I already had the juggernaut shield. Maybe it's in the store in different platforms at different times.
im on PC theres been some talk of Consoles being behind D:
I'll keep an eye out for it. By the way thanks for the video.
There is no "internal cooldown" on detonations. With field if you want to detonate the same target again, you must get the target to leave the field then re-enter the field to re-prime it. It has worked this way since ME3.

Mordred Moridin is correct.
your point? as both our statements are likely correct.
"Asari Adept rank 10, not all that hard to get"
I've unlocked most of the uncommon characters to 8 or 9 and have only got my adept to 2. My RNG must suck balls.
Vortex is way better in my opinion. Shields are pretty but they break so easily and it's really useful against the angry looking dogs. Also, if you use double throw instead of the other one it technically get twice as powerful as long as you hit 2 targets.
Very nice build man, I like it alot. I am still not sure if +30% combo damage is better then -20% debuff... let me know in future if you ever switch and test this out :)
There is a 3rd equipment slot, 2 for guns and 1 empty for boost. Wich you recommend? Juggernaut shield for 120 founds or the biotic amp for 70 founds?
Bio amp for this build
You say not to melee. I did see another vid showing this class as a melee build...getting 20% Shield back on a punch seems decent to then follow up w a Lance. Thoughts?
FACE I wanted to try to make a viable biotic caster and it proved my offmeta side however you can play it however you like the punch would essentially substitute for a talon shot :p
That's what I was thinking...I'll give it a shot. I'm at level 14 but only Adept II so I have some work...
Thanks.
Now this is the end game build, but what should I focus on leveling as level up the character? Lance first? Passives?
djrenjiKO annihilation then offensive bio then lance
Best class for me would be pretty much this class but replace the throw with charge, that's what I played in singleplayer
isn't exposure better than combo detonator as your gun and the rest of your abilities would have higher base damages due to 20% defense reduction rather that just doing 30% extra combo dmg which happens less frequently?
the combo damage actually happens alot more frequently both are good choices but to pull off the lance sprees and things you see at the start of the video i use combo detonation because to do that im not shooting my talon much the combo is generally lance talon shot lance but for chains like that its just lance lance lance which is more combo damage with 30% but its up to you

could we see this on a non Outlaw Gold match? Kett in particular, but remnant would be ok too. Outlaws are definitely the weakest of the bunch. I'm interested to see how the build stacks up vs tougher enemies.
eswiig build destroys remnant as that's what we play now after the patch however we haven't run kettle so I can't say on that matter
Still can't find the adaptive war amp in the stores. I check every day and all I've managed to find is the juggernaut shield.
Greg Tuff it's there on PC however I've heard consoles are behind my thought is check next week for everything to work as the patch is Thursday
In your opinion, what makes this build better than the melee one? Just curious because the adept is my favorite class.
the speed capability we ran 3 asari adepts and a krogan vanguard and we pulled a 12 minute gold the fastest ive ever done along side the fact of people saying biotics are bad i wanted to prove them wrong but its mostly because of the biotic link math i go into around 7-8 minutes in you can keep doing massive damage while being sudo invulnerable if you keep killing stuff :D
There honestly no point in a melee build. The melee is already strong in this game. Stronger than most weapons in this game.
There actually is a point in a melee build. The idea behind one is so you can clear gold while being survivable to get better weapons. After you can transfer to a build like this.
What if we don't have the talon gun? I've tried so much to get the talon, at 4k apex still haven't got it :/
NotOfficiallySean the Charger rank x should work too
Wolfian thank God. thebks for the fast reply :)
Does Annihilation stack? If two adepts run together, would they get more shields back?
Eirik Heen not from what I've seen sadly it only looks like one proc
While I'm not sure if Draining Field stacks I know that Draining Field and Vortex do.
We have been testing that. Very fun combination :D
hey guys, so is it 6/6/6/6/5 or 6/6/6/6/1? I maxed out my human vanguard but I got 6/6/6/6/1 with level 20 and all deck cards.
wouldnt bladt radius on lance make iy easier to hit for combo?
Rexleflex T1aO blast radius is only essentially a bigger hitbox for the projectile it would affect the combo at all that's combo radius & combo damage blast radius makes the projectile a little easier to hit that's about it
I think it says 45% of shields now on Lance?
How is easier to upgrade this asari adept? With premium boxes or expert?
She's uncommon so neither.
advanced or Basics :D
Lance doesn't home, which is annoying since enemies always move away.
Archangel Tyrael it will soft lock when unscoped
Wolfian cool, I can't imagine this character with charge instead if throw. Have you tried this with multiple Asari adepts? You can get 4x 30% shields back if the enemies die in your fields. That's just free shields all day long. I tried it it's a lot of fun.
PC easier than ps4 (better aiming/aim programs/help programs/cheat programs)& more shield more health than ps4.At ps4 the shield is 318 max & health 489 😉
I tried this build today it's not invincible but fuck me is it easy. It's like the embodiment of the pre-patch vanquisher. Requires no skill whatsoever and instantly at the top of leaderboard
Thx...creative.

I want to spend $100 on Andromeda Currency. It is advised to spend it on Premium Packs. However, I will get 3 times less packs if I get Premium Packs VS Advanced Packs. In order to use character effectively, you need a level 10 character. If I max out Human Infiltrator vs Asari Adept (lets say I get her to level 5), I will still benefit from not buying Premium Packs. Are Rare and Ultra Rare characters vastly superior to Basic or Uncommon Characters? I won't spend more than $100 on the packs. What is the best bang for the buck? Thank you
you see what I'm saying...
It's good for you as youtuber to be so overpositive. But this build is still worse than Fury adept from me3. It is my favorite charachter. Basicly because anihilation is not draining shields instantly. And fury was just so much faster.
Then you need to play solo/carry some waves alone to make sure it's so unkillable. You speak to loud about that while having shield boosting co. I hope it is but mines at about lvl 10 yet so cant confirm myself.
Not sure if internal cooldown exists. But priming with anih. and detonating with lance and detonating with throw should not work as you see. You need to get the enemy out of the anih field radius and prime again. Thats where fury was beast with teleportation ability.
Great video. But proves nothing about biotics are good. That was only good biotic character and still stays.
Why does your accent change from British to American? and what's with the lads?
depends on how much I've streamed and talked recently I stream 6+ hours a day it wears out my throat so some videos may sound different than others I'm Canadian if your wondering about the accent and lads is my thing aswell as the Wolf Pack everyone's got they're thing and that's mine :p
Wolfian Noice
too bad they nerfed the asari adept now so no more lance spree which is what i used to do
wat?
Dusk Deity nerf??? really?
its changed now , but im thinking 0.5 is like a 5th or less of your shields but if you look at the perks for lance now its different
Dusk Deity the tooltip got updated to correctly say it uses .45 shields that's all man the build works the exact same
Dusk Deity the tooltip got updated to correctly say it uses .45 shields that's all man the build works the exact same
Pretty crazy build
Beginner's build guide for a level 9 character? What beginner will have level 9 character? Useless for a MP beginner!
IMHO the melee spec is better.
Other video: Just experiment, lads
This video: Don't play her melee, just don't
no hate, just thought that was a bit hypocritical, but I know what you were getting at
jrbiff18 kinda is but I said that as melee is the meta way everyone plays her this is my experiment and it proves my point just sticking to meta would make you miss things like this build :p if you see what I mean it is kinda contradictory but it fills what I said at the same time
Wolfian yeah, My comment is taken a bit out of context, and I definitely see what you meant, honestly, I'm just excited to try out this build when I level her up, great videos, my man! :D
didnt they buff melee
nope they actually nerfed it check out todays patch notes vid
Only thing they nerfed is now all enemies melee attacks can now stagger you. I've been using the same build as pre patch and I'm having no real issues. You just can't run into groups anymore
the way you say asari wrong is kinda irritating
but great video and build regardless!
Unfortunately this is all outdated. The Asari is good. The turian is garbage. Even more so on console.
literally from 6 years ago :P idk what you expected im suprised people still play multiplayer tbh
first!
the asari adept can be very efficient, sure. I don't like it that much though, because i don't really see the benefit for the team here. I've seen it often enough that these adepts are circling the map, always on the hunt for the easy target. they "assist" you when you totally got it covered, and as soon as 2 berserks show up... they're gone, stealing somebody elses kills... I understand that playing an asari adept can be a lot of fun and get u to the top of the scoreboard, but sometimes it kinda sucks for the rest of the team.
Stanislaus Katczinsky there's a multitude of different roles in this game the main two I focus on are HVT and street sweeper builds hvt or high value target builds like my salarian infiltratior with a sniper rifle is fantastic st dealing with berserkers and hydras taking the major threat off the field where as street sweepers like my kroguard and asari adept specialise in cleaning up the red hp enemies to leave nothing left but hvts for the team's sniper to deal with without a street sweeper not only would you get swarmed by zerkers & hydras but raiders and adhis too these builds take care of that and are extremely fun to play to top it off
I'm sorry, but youre just wrong. "Ive seen often that these adepts are circling the map, on the hunt for easy kills." Last time i checked, based on her kit, she is most effective at close range and she is squishy so of course youll move around the map alot, plus staying in range of enemies boost her survivability. It has zero to do with looking for easy kills. "as soon as two berserkers show up... they're gone". It really depend on situation rather you regroup or try to take out a heavy. Me personal have no problem taking out armored or sheilded targets with the adept, but if its overrun in an area, who in their right mind would stay? Youre already squishy, you may get barrier back but that isnt worth shit if you take more damage than you regen.
Whenever I play any class with Annihilation I always stick close to the targets that need my defense debuff. In fact, I've quite often run into the opposite, where my allies all run off in different directions when we should be focusing fire on the larger threats.
Stanislaus Katczinsky oh....you one of those guys. The points are all shared so I don't get the jealousy of stealing kills. Plus that would be an adepts role. Like the infiltrator snipers role is to take out the tanks, revive and get the devices.
+Freddie Howard Kill stealing can actually be a problem for some classes. When I played Krogan Vanguard I got frustrated that people wouldn't let me finish my targets with Melee to activate my Krogan Rage.
pleb melee or nothing
i can hear the echoes now as i record the next video "play her melee" "play her melee"
dont shot just melee
Adept carry anyone in GOLD? Nah.
The people who say that adepts only run around the map taking care of the weaker enemies that's kind of the entire point of biotics. It literally says "specializes in crowd control tactics". I can see why that's annoying but it allows the stronger characters to direct focus onto armored enemies while you clean up the trash that flanks your team.
Easy way to carry gold... Just have any sort of skill whatsoever because gold is easy
console updates behind PC which is stupid mass effect 3 made its huge success from the console playerbase and they decide to put PC ahead of the console platform/Comunity that made the game so big in the first place have to wait till Thursday for new stuff so pissed have no idea this bioware team are crap and should of gotten help from the old team in some aspect nothing but a cash grab same with every dammm game that comes out
"You destroy everything" - except Hydras and Berserkers and Anointed and any other stronger enemy on gold difficulty.
I play Asari Adept as melee class, she is restoring her shield 20% with every melee hit. On gold, 1 vs 1 against Hydra, I always win. Berserkers can't do anything to me because of insane shield restoration. And also, I do not spend a single bullet during all 7 waves. Also, as melee class you can kill trash mobs with 2 hits, it is so much faster than what you show in this video.
On that note, if you wish to play good melee class, go for Krogan Adept, his melee attacks are AOE, and he can heal HP and he can do Biotic Charge :)
Just got a score of 26,987 at Lvl 9 Asari Adept lol
used up all your first aid packs by the early stages of wave 3 while talking about great survivability
there's no internal combo cooldown, annihilation primes everything that enters and once detonated the prime is gone. if you want to re-prime them with annihilation they have to re-enter it.
I spent a whole mission double throwing with a friend, throw(prime)->throw(det, re-prime)->any det it was mainly for fun, we spent a lot of time watching bodies fly, but it worked. even detted a tech burst with throw then another throw for biotic combo.
melee works great with your build specifically, lance-use shields-punch-get shields
Nice Video , love the action! I'm not a big gamer or anything like that, but I just like watching you kick butt while I paint. Very exciting to watch. new subscriber #3,976 Thank you. Please check out my latest video
The glassiest of the glass cannon builds, for sure
Sounds really broken
Thank you so much for this! c:
The angara avenger is much easier to carry a match with
If you need build info let me know, though, honestly you can spec into anything as long as your Passives are maxed.
How's does the character leveling work?
Medals = XP. Kills do a bit. And scales upward with difficulty. The whole system sucks and is a painful grind. Example: I need 135000 for level 13. Extraction gives 1000, medals give 100-500 XP, kills are 125, assists are 75. (Not exact numbers but rough ones)
Siphon weapons solo everything else. Get one and you will get through most things way easier.
Why the Talon?
Is this still doable (regarding patch)? What about "FAT" opponents?
rofl12345 the build is still very doable we've been playing remnant recently and it does work the talons for the combo of talon shot lance talon shot
what about the krogan nova, charge build? i just got him and am wondering hether i should go for it and invest the time to bring it up.
If not, any other build? we re currently starting on silver with my friends.
rofl12345 it's still amazing using my build next week il be starting Gold on a budget which will be perfect for you lads :p
HUNTRESS!! Just unlocked her and she's seems really cool
Is this still playable in 1.10 ? (last update actually)
I got my 28k gold run using a melee build I made using the jump melee I one shot even shielded enemies and get full Shields from the kills spamming it is fun so there are two ways to play her both OP just depends which you prefer I will try the Lance shield drain build which I knew the second I saw the skills on her but good to see I'm not the only one who figured it out haha nice video
Shadow325 Every single person who played me3 knew this build ;)
I can't play without Asari duelist She keeps me save.I'm too scared to play others
#thewall naw jk i dont have the duelist yet maybe by next DLC il get an ultra rare character :P i saw her kit and was kinda like wtf do i even do with that how do you build her?
half breed 070 grow some balls play engineer 🙄
She's ok, i still like my adept better. The kit could have been better, especially for an ultra rare.
Wolfian
It's a teleporting Melee class
mostly focused on biotic charge +melee
Its basically endless shield gain
Since your charge is on +75% recharge speed
And 20% shield gain for each melee kill
And they can't touch you since you vanish
Right before you strike with melee
I fought a whole group of ket
And they still couldn't deplete my shield
Since I kept charging on everything I saw
Because the incredibly fast recharge speed
Offensive biotic
rank 3 = +15% melee damage
Rank4 =15% all power recharge speeds
Rank 5 = +30 melee damage
Rank6 = +50 melee damage
+15% melee force
Barrier
Rank 3 = +30% melee damage
Rank 5= shield restored melee 20%
And +50 % melee damage
I use the dhan shotgun just for the looks
But 28% melee damage mod
And juggernaut shield for the 75% melee
So maximum over kill with melee
Nocturnal Rainbows
Krogans are strong
But they slow and stiff
I feel like they stuck in the mud almost
They stiff as a board I snap them in half
So it's nice destroying their score
Played this character on level 6 in a team with level 19 and 20 friendlies on silver but I still topped the scoreboard while playing the objective.
gah my last trophy is the insanity difficulty run or do 5 gold extractions in multiplayer, im still on the fence on which route to take. Getting the 5 golds looks faster overall. But i can only really run with randoms and im still in the process of leveling up things to do this.
I just unlocked this class. Im gonna assume i should focus on getting annihilation to rank 6 first so it can help out everyone at once then go the selfish route and level up lance etc after.
Would it be better to start trying the melee route until you can unlock all the skills you really need to make it shine here and then respec?
I just really want to get the trophy and be done with the game :(
Powderedtoast Man 5 gold extracts is a cake walk man dw if you looking for an easy gold build you can use this or my 3 other reccomendations are salarian infiltratior turian soldier or Krogan vanguard or even better play a support like angara insurgent or human engi even and make your team's life easy you've got 3 other people with you let em help you ^.^ ps I do gold at lvl 1 it's not that bad
Wolfian thanks for replying! my highest level currently is the engineer @ 16. I haven't seen what's so special about it in random play. I still have more than enough random groups getting wiped on silver rank. my turret feels useless, my cryo beam tend to get me kill trying to freeze the armored dudes, and overload seems like the only decent thing to stun then get a free kill. but most of the time it's always like 2 people constantly going around melee everything in sight. I don't blame them, I usually have to reload my guns one or twice to get a kill if I'm not getting head shots.
but all good, I managed to suck it up and speed run it on insanity ng+ took me like 6 hours skipping all the garbage. so I have my platinum now.
but I still want to be able to kill stuff quickly like in the video for multiplayer. because last time I played everything felt like a bullet sponge on silver 😢
Powderedtoast Man np man gz on the platinum :3 if you wanna try a good early dps build try the turian soldier if you have it if not Roll a human soldier with a charger or raptor you can look at my turian soldier build video which I would link but I'm on my phone rn the build can be kinda remade for human soldier and would probably still work and the whole build is accessible via basic packs I'm thinking of doing some kind of "budget gold" series to make gold viable builds with bronze and silver tier of classes after I finish off my other characters anyways but hopefully that helps you a bit and gz on your completion ^.^
Wolfian I watched it the other day roaming around youtube. still gotta get in the mood to level up things. melee dudes always stealing my kills haha. overload vanquisher shot then some Jerk headbutts and takes the last little bit of health if I missed the head shot.
haha I'll try out this class or the turian one. I haven't tried it again since they patched the game, maybe my other guns will kill things now.
thanks for the replies and good luck in your future vids
Powderedtoast Man thanks ^.^ I hope you enjoy multiplayer
