Adept class

Who should choose this class?

An adept will find this ability much more useful than a sentinel.

Developing this ability should become one of your main priorities and doing so will result in its increased strength.

The same thing will apply to the explosions mentioned above and this makes it even more interesting.

Options after reaching level four:

Options

Differences

Heavy warp

You have a chance of inflicting major injuries.

I would recommend choosing this option if you’re interested in eliminating single and power enemies.

PC

Unstable warp

Increased power of the explosion as a result of other biotic powers being active.

Instead your opponent will be thrown away automatically and almost immediately.

Heavy throw

Your throws are much stronger.

PC

I would recommend choosing this option if you want to use this power to eliminate strong single targets.

Singularity is an excellent biotic ability which should be often combined with your other powers.

Still - you should choose this variant.

PC

Wide singularity

Increased range of the ability, however you will be allowed to grab only four opponents.

Additionally they will remain in the captured state for the exact same amount of time as before.

What this power does is that it lifts an opponent into the air, preventing him from fighting back.

PC

Heavy shockwave

Increased strength of the shockwave.

Improved shockwave

Increased range of the shockwave.

Biotic mastery

This category contains four passive powers.

PC

Bastion

Larger bonuses to: health, duration time of the powers, paragon/renegade points.

The biggest disadvantage is that you won’t receive any damage bonuses.

Nemesis

Smaller bonuses to: health, duration time of the powers, paragon/renegade points.

PlayStation

This is a better choice if you’re interested in dealing with enemy units faster than before.

The result of all of this is that an engineer must rely on the rest of the team.

Activating this ability creates a massive impulse near the target which deals a great amount of damage.

Xbox

Heavy overload

Increased strength of the impulse.

Area overload

Increased range of the overload which allows you to weaken several enemy units at the same time.

Don’t forget to use Incinerate only against organic targets.

Mass Effect 2

Developing this power increases the damage done by the projectiles.

Heavy incinerate

Your projectiles inflict more damage.

This is a better option if you want your attacks to be effective against single and well armored targets.

Incineration blast

Large explosion taking place upon contact and within a three meter radius.

A combat drone distracts enemies from you and/or from the rest of the team.

Attack drone

Drone’s attacks deal more damage.

Explosive drone

A drone explodes once it’s been destroyed.

Besides, spawning a new drone won’t be a problem.

You should know that this trick works for all types of opponents, including organic and synthetic targets.

It all makes this ability very useful and therefore you should take interest in it.

Deep cryo blast

An opponent remains frozen for two more seconds.

AI hacking

AI hacking is one of the best technological powers available in the game.

Tech mastery

This category contains four passive powers.

Reaching the highest level should be on your list of priorities.

Operative

Larger bonuses to: regeneration time (powers), damage.

Smaller bonus to: paragon/renegade points.

This is a better option if you want your main character to be more effective on the battlefield.

Mechanic

Smaller bonuses to: regeneration time (powers), damage.

Larger bonus to: paragon/renegade points.

It shouldn’t be a big surprise that a soldier can choose between the largest number of weapons.

Soldiers have the biggest choice and some classes can’t choose special ammunition on their own.

As you’ve got the option to see an Adept can use all of them.

it’s possible for you to find out more about each power from the descriptions of certain character classes.

As you might see an Engineer can use all of them.

it’s possible for you to find out more about each power from the descriptions of certain character classes.

Unlocking special powers

What are special powers?

You’re also going to be allowed to upgrade special powers.

How can I use special powers?

A protective barrier which shields you from enemy attacks for a few seconds.

Slam

A special bang out of ammunition which is very effective in killing unshielded organic targets.
