Nicely done. I've done all five waves on insanity once with femshep infiltrator, once with male shep vanguard. Nothing is more frustrating and satisfying.
My hat is off to you, I have never done any Mass Effect in Insanity. I always do normal difficulty, I am no hardcore gamer, I just play Mass Effect to have fun. That said I really enjoy this fight playing a Soldier with Heavy Slam as my bonus power most of the enemies and the Revenant with Adrenalin Rush for the rest.
Insanity supposedly is meant for playtroughs with imported level 30 Shepard. This was the case also in first mass effect, where you can't unlock the insanity difficulty before playing it first on hardcore. ME1 Insanity with imported character is quite a breeze and only Geth-snipers and Krogan pose serious threaths and latter is pretty manageble with biotics(Kaidan, Wrex or Liara) on your side. Snipers can still instakill you most cases, or two shot you. Insanity on Mass effect 2 is brutal. I haven't tried it on level 30 character yet, I went in with vanguard fresh from ME1. I'm no major league gamer, but I know my way around this series battles pretty well. Insanity wiped the floor with me for a long time. My first death came at hand of Lazarus facility Loki-mech. Starter enemies that hardly normally are even a danger did me in! It's pretty fun once you get the hang of the new rules (Everyone and I mean everyone has now layer of protection. Even Husks have armor) but damn, that was some rude wake up call.
Well played - they almost got you a few times there. My level 18 hardcore soldier is really struggling to get through it. I might need to postpone the fight until getting him up to 30 and adjusting some of his abilities. I won't retreat but I may strategically redeploy in the opposite direction...
I'll always love mass effect and feel like soldier is the canon class to go. I played Andromeda today and love how SAM will make great use of all classes cuz of the personal implant in the character's mind and make great use of them all. Plus this is some of the greatest theme music ever along with some of the Kingdom Hearts Shit!!!!
@CreideikiRox If you want using cryo ammo, i suggest you to use Shotgun like katana/Eviscerator and the Viper. Mattock kill to fast and the Geth Shotgun is a poor efficient ammo affect weapon. As for the bonus power, soldier don't realy need one and like you say, interfere with AR cooldown. Take something with shot cooldown and one point efficient power like Fashbang, neronal shock, slam or stasis.
In this mission I'm using Avenger. I got game over 10+ times before I can win(most of time I died because of the guy using flame gun) but that is really fun.
As a side note, I think that the game would be a lot more balanced if both the Revenant and the Mattock did the same dam/sec; with the Mattock as the mid-to-long, limited ammo, semi-auto approach and the Revenant as the mid-to-close, ammo efficient, full auto approach. That or Mattock's fire speed could be slowed (though I'd hate that a lot).
Hmm. Widow-rifle with soldier? Interesting. I'm pretty sure revenant with Disruptor ammo and Amor piercing ammo as loyalty power would've done the trick. Back in original mass effect, I used that and good old Cain-nuke to put this thing down. It's risky, sure but makes this fight easier if you can pull it off. Even more so if you get some shields off: On insanity, One blast basically halves YMIRs health if you shoot it while it has it's shields on. If you take most or all of its shields out, Cain one shots YMIR.
I wonder if you ever find use for the cryo ammo throughout the whole game on insane. My build is almost exactly the same as yours only I traded cryo rounds for armor piercing rounds. With all the defensive layers, there doesn't seem to be much use for an ammo power that only affects health. I'm asking 'cause I'm finding AP redundant to the much more functional inferno (due to the panicking) and am looking for a replacement that doesn't interfere w/ my adrenaline rush cooldowns.
I hardly ever use it but it seems this would be a perfect situation for it. too many enemy's and freezing them in place for a little even if you dont kill them would be helpful here. I also always before I start this mission change my power from heavy to area just to help a little with crowd control. but next time I'm gonna also try cryo ammo.
You serious? I had pretty much the exact same build and did this much damage. More in fact (soldier w/ every piece of armor specced for weapon+headshot damage, except the legs for storm speed so that it reaches +60%, neat time dilation effect, extra helpful to reposition yourself). Geth shotgun w/ heavy disruptor rounds, charge for a split second, cast Adrenaline + hit with 3 projectiles = instakill on standard shielded mooks. At least half-charged for captains/techs one-shots. Widow w/ heavy warp ammo headshot w/ Adrenaline, you down an YMIR's armor in two rounds. One more for his health, cue nuclear blast, with a bit of luck some enemies go down with it. To conserve ammo: geth shotgun, then one quick Phalanx body hit to finish off enemies below half health. Of course the Mattock does his part, 1 clip w/ Adrenaline = 1 elite bad guy or 2 mooks down. One clip is also enough to fuck up 80-90% of an YMIR's armor, or its full health. No need for heavy weapons, keep the Cain to clear the whole shuttle landing pad in one awesome blast in the end, cause Shepard's gotta end on a badass note to make Harbinger shit its space pants.

Insanity is normal difficulty, but I respect a good, breezy play through
"Says the woman that sent tons of guys to try and kill you earlier."
LOL Kenson was definitely just a scientist Shepard just grabbed her arm and she was nursing it like it got broke 🤣🤣🤣
To be fair, I doubt he grabbed it to be nice. Likely grabbed it with all his force.
On the other hand though, Women ☕️

Holy shit this at lvl 18? I know the enemies are scaled to your lvl but still, GODDAMN SON!

Soldier is most DEFINITELY the canon class.
I don’t think this is just my opinion, the authors/creators suggest this as well.
🖖
It's the canon class, but it's boring AF.

Lay down your weapons its not too late fo my mercy oh oh

That's why I only have 1pts in Concussive Shot

Given the opportunity cost of the Revenant (no Claymore or Widow) it should have been stronger than the Mattock.

@@cjvaye99 damn haha thanks for the throwback
Can't believe me2 is 10 years old now
Still a masterpiece
I just tried this on normal and lost. Vanguard makes this much easier
Thanks for the Video i kept loseing because i forgot to use Adrenaline Rush i won now and got the trophie
@skinnyJEANking2 It is !
Alright.
This is way easier using a sentinal
Hmm, hard to believe that this was Insane, also used Widow with Inferno and was dealing only half as much dmg on Ymir's armor, just sayin...
