The (OVER)Power of the Adept - The Biotic Commando: Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition

- The third episode of my adept build!
The power of the adept demonstrated in Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition.
The adept with a good team is one of the most powerful/ overpowered class in the third Mass Effect.
The reason why I don't use a penetrator mod is because I already have a great biotic combo against armored targets, and I can just take away the shield from enemies(like the annoying Guardians) with Pull. :)
I've never loved the Vindicator, but often it's about personal "feel". I do better with an upgraded M8 Avenger, which does more damage, plus it's so light you can put an infrared scope on it for shooting through Cerberus smoke grenades, but ultimately, early game I use the Mattock for an assault rifle using adept, then after Omega DLC (which I usually do right after the Citadel Coupe), I grab the N7 Valkyrie. With the right armor and mods, you can get the 198% recharge on the Valkyrie -- has a similar feel and does about twice the damage of the Vindicator, though it often feels like more. Of course, once you get the M7 Lancer in the Citadel DLC, it's hard to use anything else. Makes no sense, of course, considering the M8 is supposed to be the upgrade of the M7, but then again, "Jessie" is special. ;)
Usually I use the Vindicator in ME2 until I unlock the Mattock and then I switch to that because it's slightly more accurate than the Vindicator and has more power per shot.
Then in ME3 I actually like picking up the Lancer again. With the right upgrades and build, you shouldn't need to overheat it much at all if you use short bursts and having unlimited ammo again is really nice, especially for slower playstyles where turtling in cover and waiting for enemies to come to you is more viable.
Overall, I feel engineer is the superior power spammer.
Tech powers can deal with barriers, armor, AND Shields (which biotic kinda suck at).
They can also chain explosions.( I.e. overload and incinerate can just keep detonating each other)
There is also the problem of biotic detonation only being triggered with biotic. (I.e. you can trigger a tech burst by detonating overload with a biotic power, but you cannot detonate a biotic explosion by following up reave with incinerate.)
If you complete the omega dlc you get access to flare which can decimate shields
and put you on cooldown until the next cycle
Adept and Vanguard are my favorite classes. Years ago on the original edition of ME3, I challenged myself to do an entire play-through (new game +), start to finish as an adept without firing a single shot from my guns, and I did it! It's possible if you're good with combos and if you have teammates that can help you strip shields. You should try it.
I did. :)
You kidding? On insanity it is harder to play with guns
Man I couldn't get past grissom academy as a vanguard idk how you guys do it
How did you defeat Mr Marauder Shields?
@@The.Usurper Remember the ABC's of playing as a Vanguard: Always Be Charging
Nice choice with the Vindicator for the adpat makes u feel more Asari commando style though i dont see why Asari commando's are drummed up to be so great when everytime we fight them we kick there ass with little effort
As I play Adept in ME3, all the other classes got their own way around shield enemies, but Adept, damage against shielded enemies just isn't enough, the others have a way to instant kill a shielded enemy ont their own, but Adept has to prime and detonate, that's not even guaranteed, Engineer can instant kill every small enemies, with Sabotage/Overload combo(a very large AOE), but with Adept, all the abilities travel through space, enemies have a huge chance of dodging, I worked the way around with manual headshots by sniper rifle(instant strips shields), paried with Warp Ammo, it negates the slower cooldown by heavier weapons, but against heavy shielded enemies, biotic detonation+occasional shots are still less effective than other classes, I run all the build tests through Armax Arsenal Arena, with all the caps against Collector, when facing Praetorian and Banshee's active block, Adept just seems out of moves.
adept is op if u play it like a soldier, debuff with warp and follow by a shot from claymore with warp ammo. And then use a throw to detonate.
Personally... my adept's armor set in Mass Effect 3 is full Rosenkov and Capacitor Helmet, because I love that look for her.
Her ? A female shepard is so damn wrong
I really wondered to see How to perform combos in ME video, especially in ME3. You’ve already have video about DAI combos. How about ME combos?:)
inwouldnt say OP. i think ur just really good. lol
Have you used biotics? It's OP the only thing you need help on is shields. It melts everything else.
Anything unshielded is a free kill with any class or squad mate combo
what power would you use as a substitute for reave? I don't have kaiden and i don't know another way to unlock reave.
Dark Channel is a good substitute I think. Good otd and you can detonate combos just like you can do it with Reave. :)
@@AKisHerceg tyvm, honestly didn't expect a answer so soon, just got legendary edition and i've been playing non stop.
what gun do you have kaiden rocking in the rachni nest?
That is the Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle. Pretty much the best gun available against Shield and Barriers. :)
Hi! What weapons do you recommend for Sephard and for his squadmates and what is for you the best weapons of each type? My english is bad sorry haha ^^"
Ty so much for your guide!
The guns that were dlc weapons in the original are the best. From the smgs I usually give them the N7 Hurricane or the Blood Pack Punisher. The best shotguns for the squad are the Crusader and the Spike Thrower. Best AR are the Adas Rifle and the Typhoon. The Typhoon is by far superior to anything else in the hands of a squad mate. If you give it to Vega and Garrus they can melt an Atlas in 3 or 4 SECONDS. The Acolyte pistol is best for removing barriers and the best dps comes from the M11 Suppressor. The best sniper is the Krysae and the Javelin for the team. As for Shep, anything can work in his hands depending on your class. :)
@@AKisHerceg Ty So Much! You save me
Yo bro i do have a question , what do you suggest for a soldier build in ME2 ? i mean for the combat mastery i want to choose Comando to do more dps and stuff like that , but also the shock tropper give me more paragon and renegade points , what should i do , btw i play on insanity
I think you can get more than enough Paragon/Renegade points to have every option unlocked in the dialogue wheel. I finished the game many times with evolutions that gave you less points.
So go ahead and pick Commando if that suits your style. Just make sure you stick to your Renegade or Paragon side. Usually story based missions give you tons of points, so just avoid the ones where you have hard Renegade/Paragon checks until you get enough points for them. :)
thx bro , i really appreciate
@@AdrianB-uv3np No problem. :)
Spitting truth -- I usually play "Paragade" or "Renagon" in ME2, and finish with 100% Paragon and 75% Renegade, or vice versa, and I always go with offensive builds (Nemesis, Commando, et.) Also, I rarely play on Insanity once I get the badge -- I think "veteran" is the funfest setting -- makes you feel badass, yet if you don't pay attention you still get splatted pretty quickly.
Incen ammo with the lancer AR is OP try it
The lancer? Try the Prothean Rifle or the Reegar Carbine.
@@zanthe_ personally felt the lancer worked best for me
If you don't mind me asking, why not use pistols or smgs for the Power Magnifier mods?
I don’t mind. :) I use Assault Rifles because I went for Commando style for all 3 builds throughout the trilogy. And the burst fire Vindicator has great range, very precise and easy to handle. In ME3 it’s light too, so it helps with the cool down too. :)
@@AKisHerceg cool, also how does this build play against armax arena bug in the system and the mirror match in the citadel dlc
@@DarkSerge00 I was able to complete the Armax Mirror solo, although it was tough. With a team(Wrex+Liara) it was much easier.
Bug in the system is pretty easy compared to the Mirror match, so I had no problem with that either. :)
200% rechange speed of weapon weight is max from item. I dont think u need RS on armor. Power damage must be best choice.
200 is the max from weapon weight, but the armor’s recharge speed modifier is counted separately. Personally I felt like it was a good choice to make my Warp and Reave that much faster. Power damage did not add much from armor, plus my combos are capable of killing any unshielded enemy instantly, and take down any shielded enemy in 2 hits. Super elites require more combos no matter what, even with the additional power damage. So I felt like more damage wasn’t as effective as the ability to throw the powers faster, especially when my dr is relying on constant Reaving. :)
@@AKisHerceg 200% on weapon, 30% recharge on your armor, and get all of Glyph's terminal upgrades (I think you can get +20% recharge, but at least +15%) -- Pull and Throw no longer have any cooldown, and warp becomes an absurd 1.5 seconds or something like that. It's at that point, that I usually switch Reave for Flare -- any build where you get Flare on a low recharge, and you pretty much just steamroll the game, but then again, certain squad members are so OP in many situations, you don't need to do anything. Ashley + Garrus, for example, armed with either N7 Typhoons or the Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle + switching the squad back and forth between Ashley's disruptor ammo and Garrus's AP ammo, can solo most of the content on insanity without Shepard ever doing anything but using medigel to occasionally rez them.
@@Zedul Yup, Typhoon is pretty broken lol. I had a team with Vega(/Garrus), Ashley and I, and we all used it. Once the teammate rof goes up, they can take down an Atlas or a Banshee in 3 seconds. Absolutely crazy.
Good think that the weapon is very expensive in the LE. I remember in the original ME3 Vega and Garrus took down the mech on Sur'Kesh before it could fire a single shot.
how do you get reave???
Finish Samara's loyalty mission to unlock it, and then you can pick it up as a special power.
@@AKisHerceg awesome haha thanks
@@AKisHerceg also how are you pulsing purple?
@@Venolevaticus Oh wait, I forgot that this is ME3. :)
You get Reave from Kaidan here, not Samara. Just talk to him after he comes aboard of the Normandy, once you accept him back into the crew.
@@AKisHerceg like during the gameplay it looks like youre characyer is having purple static coming off them
I was waiting for this! 👍👍👍
Wait. The shuttle can take damage!?
Yup.
Excellent build! I always love how much depth you put into each one. This game makes you feel overpowered which is epic but kind of boring not gonna lie 😂. I’m currently playing my girlfriend’s profile as an infiltrator. Any build you suggest that would make this game more interesting rather than just explosion century?
Slow-motion headshots using the Sniper Concentration Mod don’t get old for me. You can do power combos as an Infiltrator but it’s more of a “gun class.”
@@tomgroot7039 That makes more sense. I typically don’t use a sniper. I wanted to do more of a scout where I cloak and surprise attack them. Although I just optimally end up with fire explosions or tech bursts since that’s pretty much an optimal way of taking down an enemy in general
I also feel like the pacing is the same for almost every class excluding vanguard. I like it but I feel like the game doesn’t suit the infiltrator. ME2 suits it better. I feel like there are not really many long range areas either where it’s good to use a sniper.
Oh, yeah... I'm currently working on an Infiltrator which is extremely fun(at least for me). Soon, I will finish it in ME1 and I will put it up, then I do the rest.
It's a shotgun Infi, and I will use AI-Hacking/Sabotage in the second and third game to confuse and "surprise one-shot" synthetics! :)
It also works on organics, to overload their weapons, so they can't do anything once I am out of the cloak and blast them with my Shotgun. They also die in one shot. This is the ultimate sneak-hunter build for me! :)
@@talizorahvaswiggle5101 Tactical Cloak is kinda broken in both ME2 and ME3. It's like Stealth in other games - always overpowered, since it gives you the option to get out of combat and it applies a ridiculous damage multiplier, which makes this class the best when it comes to completing difficult tasks - like the solo mirror match in the arena. :)
With the Infi in ME3, the pacing is whatever you feel like playing, because you have the option to play it fast or tactically, since enemies won't even know you are there. You can use Cloak as a sneak attack skill with a Sniper Rife or Shotgun(or even with your Sticky Bombs), or just a momentary damage enhancer as you gun them down with an assault rifle or an SMG. :)
What kind of fucking logic is that? “This game mechanic exists because if a character build in the sequel that doesn’t exist yet”?
Not sure I understand you. Can you explain what you mean?
Lol. I watched the part, and now I get it...
It seems you misunderstood what I wrote.
I was being a bit sarcastic... Let me explain:
The reason why the devs put extra layer of protection in ME2 is to avoid having Shepard nuke the entire battlefield with biotics. Just like in ME1 where you could lift up a Colossus with full Barrier with a maxed out Lift, and just like in ME3 where you can just have Liara use Singularity and blast everything with Throw or Warp. Basically, it's because biotics are super overpowered, and we can see this in ME3 - this was the point.
So in ME2 you can't do that, because even the weakest enemies have armor/shield protection, which are immune to force effects.
Now, in ME3, the mechanics were changed. Now you can nuke small enemies with biotics, because they removed the armor protection(even on Insanity). However, in ME3 they tried to balance this by adding more enemies, and the fact that enemies are more dangerous - Husks can grab you, so you must take them down before they get close(they also no longer die instantly from force effects like in ME2), Cannibals can grow armor layer that resists bullets etc.
So basically, the answer is: if enemies in ME2 would have no extra layer of protection, the game would provide much less challenge on insanity. And this can be seen in ME3 where you can just non-stop nuke Husks, Cannibals and anything without shields and armor.
So if I would rephrase the sentence it would be: Do you know why enemies have extra protection in ME2 on Insanity? Because the devs of that game had some foresight and figured you would blast everyone with your powerful Biotics(and army of husks for example would die instantly from a single Singularity). The example to this is ME3 where you can find out what it's like to go against enemies with no protection using your biotics.
I hope my point is more understandable now. :)
Using Throw as a detonator makes for faster combos because Throw’s cooldown is very short.
I do use/like Throw, but I love Reave more because for that less than a sec more cooldown, with a combo, it also applies over-time damage. Which means that, you can just safely forget about the target(anything up to Marauder) after you detonated the combo, because the OTD will kill it even if you don't fire a single bullet at it(combos with Throw often won't instantly kill the targets). Plus with Area Reave, you have a massive aoe OTD or multiple combos close to each other which will annihilate any crowd. On top of this, you can detonate with it AND detonate it afterwards. So I detonate a Singularity with it and I detonate the applied Reave with Warp or Throw. :)
Oh yeah... and it also gives 40% dr... this skill is just supremely overpowered! :)
Nice vid, man!!
Can i ask you 2 questions about other games, pls? I really need your help :)
1 - on DAI i see some of your builds build up barrier while atk monsters.....what item does that, pls?
2 - i Just saw you did some Diablo 2 builds too!! Are you going tô play Diablo 2 Resurrected and post some build too?
Tnx só much, im a big fan!!
Thanks! Glad you like my videos! :)
In Inquisition, I wear the Amulet of Barrier as a rogue or a warrior to build up barrier. You can get this item from Fiona at the Battle of Heaven. You have to pick the Templars in order to fight the mages at Heaven. You can also get it as random Trials reward, but this is a much more reliable method to acquire it.
Diablo 2: Damn right I will! I can't wait to get my hands on it. The way I hear it, I will be able to port my saves from the original D2 into resurrected! Can't wait to see how those builds will work there. Plus since Resurrected will allow the Ladder-only runewords in Single Player, I am looking forward to create the words that I could not do before: Forti, Infi, Insight etc.
I can't wait to kick some butt with my new builds!
Plus I will be interested in the multiplayer as well! Oh man, I am so exited! :)
@@AKisHerceg tnx só much!! I Just did for the first time the fools trial, but i choose mages path......time tô restart then, lol!
Man i a HUGE fan from Diablo, i play since it was realeased in 1997! Me and some friends are excited as Well tô get back in 2 next week!!
And i Will keep following you tô see your builds, pretty sure your going tô save my @$$ AGAIN hahahahaha
Have a good Day, brother!
@@Cobernikus Me too! Love the first game: it was my 2nd game on my first pc right after the racing game Re-Volt and before the other "racing game" Carmageddon 2.
With D2 we played so much multi with my friends back then and eventually, I started to have way more interest in the Single Player, because I found it more challenging(my first ever character which finished Normal mode was a melee/summon druid). A few years after, I picked up the game again and finished it all the way through Hell(vanilla, no mods, not even mule or anything) with a SMITER! Yeah, that took a while lol. Then when I picked up the game again years after, and this time I went with a Zealer. That Zealer is actually my very first Diablo 2 video on this channel. :)
All items are self found with that character, without mule or anything. For the rest I used GoMule and my Light Sorc to farm stuff and equip them after I completed the game with them.
I made some standard builds in single player with what I managed to farm, then I started to focus on builds that basically nobody wanted to make: Sacrifice Paladin, Two-Handed Pally, Ranger Druid etc. and on top of that, in Single Player, where those nice Ladder runewords can't help you making things easier.
Looking forward to help you out in case you need some advice! Or even kick some demon ass if we are both on at the same time in MP. :)
Im having a real hard time to understand how these ME3 combos work... Im sorry, Im a noob on ME3 (just arrived at the game with my Shep imported from ME1 and 2) and trying for the Insanity triple trophies...
Its a bit chaotic on the video - whats the order of the powers I need to respect to get the explosions, please? The order changes depending on the energy bar of the enemy (it changes if its armored, shielded or barried)?
Im in dire need to understand this combo system, getting my ass kicked hard here...
So, if you just started the game, you probably don't have Reave yet, so let's forget about that for now. You will unlock it later.
Get Warp first. If you, yourself, want to execute combos, you will need it. Warp is gonna be you main primer(primers set up the combos, detonators make them explode). You can detonate a biotic combo, by smacking an enemy with Warp, then Throw(Throw is a good detonator because its cooldown is very fast). So Warp first, then Throw. This is a basic biotic combo. It works on enemies with red health bar, purple barrier bar and yellow armor bar. So Warp + Throw or Shockwave = massive health, armor and barrier damage combo.
However, Liara comes with Singularity, and Singularity can also be detonated with Throw(her Singularity recharges super fast). So make sure Liara uses Singularity on an enemy, then you use Throw and boom. You got another combo. This works on enemies with a simple red health bar(Husks, Cannibals, unshielded Cerberus troops). Pretty much the best crowd control you can have early game. So Singularity + Throw or Shockwave = massive biotic combo against enemies with no protection(simple red health bar). You won't even have to leave cover for a second with this one, since Singularity can lift enemies out of cover and then you can just smack them with Throw in a split second.
Biotic combos don't really work well on Shielded enemies, but you can detonate tech combos with your biotics. If you have an ally(like Garrus), who has Overload, you can detonate that with Warp for a tech-combo. It is pretty devastating against Shield. So Overload + Warp or Shockwave = massive shield damage combo. By the way, once you detonate the Overload + Warp combo, the target can still be detonated AGAIN with a Throw or a Shockwave, since it's under the effect of Warp and Warp can be detonated with Throw or Shockwave.
Also you can detonate fire combos with Warp if a squad member can use Incinerate(like EDI). This is fantastic against armor. So Incinerate + Warp or Shockwave = massive armor damage combo.
Shockwave can also detonate a lot of combos(Incinerate, Warp, Reave, Overload etc), but it has a bit short range. At the beginning, all you are gonna see is enemies with normal health bar, enemies with shield and a few with armor(no enemies with Barrier yet). Now you know how to deal with them with combos. :)
If you are really struggling, pick Vega and upgrade his Fire Ammo to squad ammo(you can respec him freely the first time). This way you will have Fire Ammo. Warp, Throw, Shockwave can all detonate enemies who are set on fire by Fire Ammo(make sure your squad uses fast firing weapons because they have higher chance to apply the burn effect which you can detonate). The game will turn into easy mode quickly this way, since you are gonna do non-stop fire explosions.
@@AKisHerceg gods, I'm so gratefull my friend! What an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much! I'll follow your instructions to the letter!
So it's just investing on these skills and keep the loadout as light as possible - the squad's loadout also influences their power cooldown?
