The melee for Vanguards is outstanding and just screams powerhouse.

It's not that high in damage ( but majority of my attacks are biotic) but it helps in a pinch. It's easy to die as a Vanguard because you often get close, but you learn what to do, what not to do and when to do it if you pay attention.Ĭharge is your bread and butter obviously, because it brings you in for shotgun and melee range while replenishing your barriers.įollowing with the traditional shotgun to the face is always good but I went more biotic than soldier so I made sure to get the Asari Shotgun for weight reasons. This way I can immediately drop targets shields and remove their health quickly with weapons fire, or use Shockwave/Pull to weaken them for a final blow. I personally keep EDI and Garrus around and use their Overload skills mapped to hotkeys. Focus on using your guns, and only use powers to supplement them shockwave to stagger targets, Carnage to eat armor.įocus on one target at a time, and make use of your squadmate's powers. I find myself keeping my distance behind cover, and I only use Charge in emergencies use it to hit a target you can flee from to heal your Barrier. Great against Brutes, Banshees, anything armored/unshielded you don't want to get close to. Your skills are shortrange and aren't great against armor. Bonus Power**: Carnage is a great fit.For Incindiary, go for Explosive Burst, it whittles down health insanely fast with high-rat**e-of-fire weapons like the Geth Pulse Rifle. Go for a high freeze chance and duration to take targets out of the fight. Cryo/Incindiary Ammo: Cryo ammo works well with slow-fire weapons, I use it on my Heavy Pistol.Weapons: I personally carry a Geth Pulse Rifle, Locust SMG and Carnifex heavy pistol, which gives me a great range of firepower but keeps my power recharge speed at 200%.Note that Shockwave usually staggers big stuff like Atlases. I find the Lift effect helpful against weak enemies (which I usually use it against) but quick recharge is more useful to spam it, especially against big targets. Shockwave is pretty useful as it penetrates cover. Since Melee and Biotic Charge aren't ever going to be one hit kills in Insanity, you'll want to focus on staying power. Fitness: Go for shields/health bonuses.I picked weapon damage over power damage too you'll be using your weapons a lot more.

Biotic Charge is extremely dangerous in Insanity, so when you use it you want the enemies around you staggered and you want a full shield. Biotic Charge go for additional targets and 100% shield restoration.

You'll want to focus on staying alive and working at a moderate distance. Yx.'s strategy is great for play on Hardcore/Silver difficulty, but for Gold/Insanity you'll want a more sane, long distance build. Balled up enemies don't even have time to blink before they are completely destroyed.Īgainst the special enemies, I tend to be a bit more careful and rely more on my allies for ranged damage, but generally for enemies such as a brute, instead of doing a Nova right after the charge (and thus leaving yourself vulnerable), I prefer to do a quick dodge to the left/right first. With this setup, I can literally none stop charge + nova until everything on the battlefield is dead. For my armor, I wear the -30% power cooldown +30% power damage armor.For the rest of my skills, it went into assault mastery and fitness, primarily focused on boosting power damage where I could and increasing barrier strength where I couldn't.I carry around the minimum weapons required to maintain 200% recharge rate.I maxed out nova for the boost to power cooldown and increased radius/chance of not expending shields.I maxed out my biotic charge for the most single target damage I can get.After using the advice of some answers in this question, I quickly became an unstoppable killing machine while playing hardcore difficulty. My first character was a vanguard (imported Shep though, so I started at level 30).
