Have you survived all enemy waves? Yes
Have you enjoyed the fight? Yes....then no.....then Hell Yeah!

Difficulty level: Insanity
Shepard's class: Vanguard
Weapons used: Eviscerator/Viper
Bonus power: Stasis

A bit late to be contributing to this I know, but I've been absent from my Xbox for a while and only got around to downloading and playing this recently. One of the most frustrating, yet enjoyable fights in either game. I want more like this in ME3!

I'm very impressed by the no-cover vanguard vids. I found cover a must after charging.

Kronner- Would love to see you do some Cryo+Scimitar action, but I thought we'd have to pry the Claymore from your cold dead hands.

Booze works too. My Shep got hammered at the Illium's bar, and switched to his Cryo Suit for a while :D

Nice video. Love to see you using the Scimitar and Cryo. You kill so fast though that the Cryo rarely has time to take effect ;)

Have you survived all enemy waves? YES / NO
Have you enjoyed the fight? YES / NO

Difficulty level: Insanity
Shepard's class: Power Sentinel
Weapons used: Mattock, Locust, Blackstorm
Bonus power: Energy Drain

What strategy have you used?

First off I activated power armour. The starting point was too exposed to outflanking so I fled to the bottom-left corner of the room where there is an 'L' shaped piece of cover. This kept me well protected from all sides- the cover was protecting me from the front and right, and its positioning meant I wasn't able to be outflanked.

For the first few waves I mainly spammed energy drain to remove shields/repair my shields. Once their shields were down I'd spam either area throw or heavy warp (I'd hit them with warp so they stagger and then take them out with the mattock/locust while they staggered).

The main threats at this stage were flashbang grenades and pyros. Most of the grenades didn't make it over the cover, but if they did, I would slide up and down the cover wall to try and avoid them. With pyros, I ussually hit them with energy drain to remove their shields and then blew them up using overload (one point wonder). I didn't need to leave that cover at all for most of the waves.

Then, the final wave came and I found myself under intense pressure from mech fire and a fresh group of personnel (including a project elite). I was forced to flee the 'L' shaped cover (the heavy mech got too close) and I fled to the right side of the room (my power armour was burst by mech machinegun fire). The group of soldiers moved to head me off. I quickly reactivated power armour and drew out the blackstorm, charging into the middle of the group while powering up the weapon (this almost got me killed :P). The blast killed most of them, but the project elite survived, and the mech (which had now caught up) was still standing. The black hole had bought me time to reactivate my (yet again burst) power armour. Without the big group to help, these guys were easily taken down with a combination of the Mattock/Locust/Energy Drain/Warp/Throw.

Does this mean that Conrad Verner stole the Claymore while Shepard was drunk?! :P

Great vid. I'm ashamed to say the Vanguard is the only class that I haven't completed the game with, and it seems that I'm seriously missing out. I've been meaning to play through with one for a while, I'll probably play a femshep claymore Vanguard when I have the chance.

Hey Kronner, this thread just won't die :D

Have you survived all enemy waves? YES / NO
Have you enjoyed the fight? YES / NO

Difficulty level: Insanity
Shepard's class: Adept
Weapons used: Avenger
Bonus power: Warp Ammo

What strategy have you used?

I wanted to try a Shockwave Adept and I didn't have Warp. I played keep-away with Singularity and Shockwave to cut off their flanking on both sides and to stop them from moving around. The Avenger is a POS, but it did the job. I really like the rifle's looks but its slow DPS kept me from doing anything more aggressive.

Recorded and uploaded:

Shockwave Adept at Object Rho

Well what can I say... I think I used a really cheap spot but it works really well. I also had luck with the spawns of enemies, since I had fewer special (Pyro, Engi and Elite) ones than in previous runs.
All in all not much to say, I love how the throw against the pyro worked out (it was intentional, believe it or not) and I did it in my 7th or 8th try, which is a new positive record for me.

First-time Vanguard playing on Hardcore here. I got very, very close to surviving the whole string but wound up Pyro'd right near the end. I swear the little bastard warped in.

Beaten it with Soldier and Infiltrator though, whoo.

they are sneaky little bastards, to keep it civil ^^
When they suddenly pop up right beside/behind you and you don't have your defenses still up, you're usually screwed.

Survived: Yes
Enjoyed: Most definitely!
Difficulty: Insanity
class: Vanguard
Bonus: Heavy Stasis

First time on vanguard, went 1/2 (first time I died from a charge glitch <.<). Was a lot of fun charging across the map. I was a little disappointed though, the heavy mech glitched and blew up after a stasis. I didn't see what happened as it was behind me, but I heard the explosion and when I looked it was gone :/.

Difficulty level: Insanity

Bonus power: Slam


What strategy have you used?

I tried to play like a vanguard did, closing in constantly to kill with the reload-trick. It's possible if you eat medigel enough to effectively replace your blood with it.

Have you survived all enemy waves? Yes
Have you enjoyed the fight? I always enjoy playing ME

Difficulty level: Insanity
Shepard's class: Vanguard
Weapons used: 98% Scimitar 1% Locust 1% Flame Thrower (to finish the Mech)
Bonus power: Energy Drain, but i think i used it only one time.

Well there's nothing much to say. No strategy.
Just charging and trying to kill the pyros as soon as possible.
I'm not a shotgun fan but Scimitar is really fun, but far from the Claymore effectiveness.

I did some tries with my engineer, but stopped for now, since I'm a bit pissed.
I just realized there's a quite annoying Dominate bug during the first wave, check this out:

It's really annoying but it only seems to happen during the first wave. For reference:

Dominate Lvl 3

This one took a while and it isn't pretty Oo

So it turns out Dominate doesn't work for me on all low lvl goons, not only in the first wave.
I tried to stay at a safe spot and skirmish one or two enemies as soon as there's an opening. 
Like I said it's not nice to look at, so much goes wrong in this try, but somehow it still works out.
