She's... awesomely broken. INFINITE MEDIGELS FTW (At least until they nerf her, which they will for sure. )

She has infinite medi-gels? Also, how many credits do you get for a platinum game?

Repair Matrix seems to be bugged, it's supposed to get you back up ONCE per game- but it seems to happen every single time you have it active. (Yay for underdogs finally being able to do Platinum solo!)

Depends, if you have a nice team and you get all the objects done quickly- around 135k-ish?

EDIT:

Damn, just unlocked the Collector Adept... and I must say- uber satisfying.

When you stack the SMG/Pistol Power mod, Ascension Stance, Biotic Gear, and Power Equip- you can nuke Gold spawns with Dark Sphere.

It's suppose to work everytime you have it active. Why would they have an evolution that gives you 75% damage reduction for 5 seconds when getting up if it only worked once the entire game?

Most people have trouble soloing Plat because of sync kills from what I've read on BSN and what people I've played with have said.

Repair Matrix doesn't work for sync kills...

I doubt that it's meant to work "forever", that just seems a little ridiculous xD

But hey, if that's what the devs want- I have no problem at all! (The again, they've been wrong before... and look at the Talon's crossbow, broken in the opposite way that Repair Matrix is. )

Unlocked EDI yesterday, holy crap is she good.

I just watched the livestream and Eric said it revives you once per cast, so working as intended

They lied about the geth fix, not sure about Primes but the Drone still staggers the shit out of you.

[PimplyPete]

Here's a Collector Hybrid build for anyone that's interested, this setup will make him deal a ton of damage while keeping him somewhat tanky. Let me know what you guys think.

Dark Sphere - 4a/5b
Seeker Swarm - 4a/5a/6a
Dark Channel - 3
Ancient Warrior - 4b/5a/6a
Firness - 4b/5a/6b

Platinum objectives class it is then! (I guess they just wanted to give the Turian/Geth Infiltrators a good run for their money.)

And yes, the Geth still stun-lock you do death. x_x

Geth Hunters- shotgun stunlock/shield gates ignored, Geth Primes- triple "Siege Pulse" stunlock, Geth Rocket Troopers- rocket stunlock/double tap, Geth Pyro- elbow of doom/health and shield gates ignored, Geth Bomber- taser stunlock... nothing's changed. (Hell, at least change the Geth Primes COMBAT DRONE to not have 100% stun with it's attack!)

Found a glitch with the Krogan Warlord. Apparently, after upgrading his skills after unlocking him, leveling him up once from 18 to 19 gave me 72 more skill points, so all my skills have all 6 slots filled.

That's the Character Card glitch, if you get multiple class character cards from a crate and you happen to have a leveled character from that same class with some points assigned- you may be able to get extra points.

It was supposed to have been fixed some time ago

They still stagger noticed that straight away. Also you know they are straight up bullshit when a Rocket Trooper shoots you out of his back while shooting a team mate. *slow clap*

[KriugerisLT]

The Geth Juggernaut is just ridiculous. Cannot get sync killed, doesn't stagger and has a melee attack that drains hp/armor/shields/barriers and restores his own shields. 50% damage reduction with Siege Pulse. It's just so fun to play with him. You can tackle 2 banshees and a brute on Gold with him and just laugh at them, because they can't do shit to you.

Only thing bad about him is the Hex shield. I found it useless. Kept it at 3, because it's still worthwhile to some degree. Like when hacking a node or protecting the item carrier.

I can already imagine. 3 Geth Juggernauts and a Volus farming Platinum on ANY map, lol.

I'm hoping to unlock him before next weeks balance changes, the EDI bot is the first time I've been able to play a "OP" class seeing as I usually unlock them just after they've been hit with nerf shots.

[Veedrock]

The Juggernaut does stagger a bit if hit with enough force, but you never get stun locked. Also the DR is only 40% with the proper evolutions. His Heavy Melee is a bitch to use unless you're hosting as well. His damage output is terrible and his slow speed can get really annoying if you're playing a mobile map.

Far from a perfect class, but still really fun. Hopped into a Platinum/Rio/Reaper game and I was more or less the distraction, standing in front of the hole and tanking the hits thanks to his Heavy Melee and Geth Sentry. The Hex Shield helped on objective waves.

[KriugerisLT]

Talon merc and Cabal Vanguard are probably the weakest of the bunch. Don't know about others, but the Cabal Vanguard just felt weak. A pseudo biotic charge with no shield recharge? Really? It's cool though, that you can use it without targeting an enemy. Useful GTFO ability, but other than that, it's pretty useless. The biotic buff is the only good thing about her. Her melee is also decent, but nowhere near as good as let's say a Krogan's. Her poison damage gimmick is also worthless.

Haven't tried the Talon merc yet, but from what I heard he's also pretty weak. The only good thing about him that I heard of, are those mines that do great damage and you can place 3 of them. Pretty much a tactical character to build killzones for your other team members. Might give him a go and see if he changes my mind.

So far, only the Turian female is pretty disappointing.

[pined5551]

Any idea if this will have a GOTY/Complete Edition with everything on disc, later in the future?

There hasn't been any for the previous games, so I highly doubt it.

The mines are the best part about the Merc, most people have said the bow was a bit of a disappointment/weak.

Juggernaut revolutionized Platinum matches though, he's doing what no other character has been able to successfully do in the past: tank.

I slapped on a Cyclonic Modulator IV, Cryo Rounds III, Stronghold Package V and my Particle Rifle on a Giant/Hazard Platinum match this morning... and let me tell you, I only went down once when we were doing an objective xD He freakin' great at attracting aggro while your teammates finish off whatever it is that's trying to kill you. (Bonus points if you have a Volus with you, in which case- BOOM, full-on ironclad defenses. )

Of course, that playstyle could be understandably boring for some people.

[Burnout x360a]

Alliance Infiltration Unit is powerful but the Repair Matrix doesn't seem to work from time to time. Last night I had it active, went down and activated it as I got back up only to be stun locked and slapped back down. No biggie except the RM did nothing.

Lag possibly but it was active for a good couple seconds.

[KriugerisLT]

Repair Matrix is unpredictable sometimes. When I was playing with her, activated it, got sync killed by a Phantom, but the ability used up like a medi-gel, and I was up and about again. Even though people said that it doesn't protect from sync kills, somehow it protected me. No clue, maybe I lucked out or lag helped me out, but that's not possible, because I hosted that match. I host a lot, because I often get a full lobby in ~1-5mins time. Especially on Gold/Platinum.

Another funny/useful thing about Repair Matrix is it enables you to survive the Reactor hazard on FB: Reactor. I happened to run in just as my friend pressed the button and I went down but as the doors opened I got right back up again, superb.

I swear I've been slightly staggered by Banshees. Only Banshees. Otherwise, the only things capable of knocking down the Juggernaut for me has been a Turret I might not have seen or a group of Ravagers.

I have to say I enjoy being the Juggernaut because it saves some of my... uh... otherwise reckless teammates from repeatedly getting sync killed. I'm actually having fun distracting Primes, zapping their shields with melee while a group of Krogan Warlords smash him from behind. I normally hate tanky characters but this guy... I love him.

[CIF]

I quite like the Cabal. She moves almost as fast as a Drell (esp w/ Biotic Focus), can have 900/1425 H/B, and teleports more easily than the Fury (one of my favorite characters). Heavy melee is a hybrid of Fury/Slayer and Shadow Strike. Rank 6 of Biotic Focus gives you 40% barrier back instantly (which is enough most of the time) and the power gives damage reduction anyways. Poison Strike not locking on is a blessing in disguise since you can use it whenever, and used right you can "dance" around boss enemies. She definitely suffers on the more open maps, but on White, Glacier, Goddess...oh boy. Play smart, don't venture too far off, and host if possible, like all Vanguards.

He can be staggered, it is very small though and takes a lot IIRC.

I noticed that it doesn't take an absurd amount (on par with Krogan/Batarians I assume), but you have to be standing still. I can stand in front of a Banshee and be "staggered" by her melee again and again, but if I start shooting or using Heavy Melee it doesn't interrupt me. Kind of weird.

That is bizarre, the short story is that 9/10 he gives no fucks which is fantastic.

The omnibow is absolutely useless.

The Talon Merc was my freebie, and I want my money back.

I dodged the bullet but didn't get much better in the gift pack, Cabal Vanguard. I've got the Talon and Geth Jug to unlock from this DLC (Along with a handful of older ones...looking at you GETH TROOPER.)

I spec into Concussive Arrows for crowd-control and armor weakening If you treat it more as a novelty and less like an integral part of the Talon Merc (like Bioware falsely misrepresents in the trailer/their posts) then he's pretty decent

The Mines of course, are by far- his best trait. (I also got the Talon Merc out of my Gift Box, I'm not angered by it. He's one of my favorite Engineers now.)
