A Krogan is a better Vanguard than a Vanguard.

Who needs biotics to charge, when you're two thousand pounds of pure Krogan?



Definitely puts a new appreciation for the Krogan Rebellions.

I guess I got super lucky unlocking the Krogan whn I booted up MP the first time.

He's glorious, but damn he takes up a lot of the screen.

Dreaming about AOE heavy melee.

You know that's a good point....Must have been hell watching krogans simply pimpslap away salarians and asari all while they're laughing (I really like the laugh).

Erm sooo... Anybody for a good ole' Atlas headbutt party? 4 Krogans + 1 Atlas = Pure humor and annihilation (of the atlas of course)

[Niflkkojaer]

I'm still wondering about Krogan Sentinel. Has anybody ever got that class? I have yet to see anyone getting it, playing it, or anything, really. Must be awesome since nobody has got it yet.

[TexasToast712]

I just love the constant headbutts between rounds. So satisfying. GO TEAM KROGAN!

[Daklanceff]

level 73 and still no krogan. Random unlock system fails horribly


PERIOD

I love my krogan soldier, but I play it more as a power spammer (carnage/nade fire splosions!) than a melee dude.

Much more durable than even my human sentinel, with much more fire power. (makes me wonder the point of that class)

Playing him to (hopefully) unlock my Turian Sentinel.

Hm. I remember a Silver game I got into last weekend. Two other players were playing lvl10+ Krogan soldiers. It seemed a lot easier.

[Cobra5]

When they announced multiplayer I said "Man, I want to play a Krogan". And when I saw one in-game I said "Man, I really want to play a Krogan".

Krogan is literally the only race I don't have unlocked.

Laughing at people suggesting to headbutt a phantom or atlas to death. Those are usually the people that i dont like to play with because they get executed and blame others for their durpidity. I like krogans, but please, dont play one if you THINK they are unstoppable, you will surely die in silver/gold

More then once, on silver, my party has defeated both atlasus and phantoms by letting the krogan stunlock them in melee.

Do we really want to go there? Let people take their potshots, it helps diminish the number of rage threads. :/

On-topic: I'm interested in Krogan Soldier. Everyone raves about how badass it is, but I haven't unlocked it yet. So out of curiosity I ask krogan players: what is it that makes the class so powerful? Does it have more shields? Health? Melee damage? I mean, why is it so much more effective than Human Soldier?

Also, for when I eventually unlock it: what's the best build for it?

Krogans have a passive ability: Rage. If you kill 3 targets (can spec into it to make it 2) in any 30 second period from one another with Melee, you go in to rage mode, which looks a lot like adrenaline rush -- your screen's contrast skyrockets, you get little pulsing veins in the corners of your HUD. While Enraged, your Krogan's melee damage and damage resistance are increased.

So what normally happens with Krogan Soldiers is you'll run around with Fortification on, which is similar to Tech Armor now; permanent buff, activating doesn't set off a cooldown. But when you purge it, instead of Tech Armor's AoE explosion, you get a 20 second melee damage buff. So, put a blade attachment on your shotgun, and run around with Fort up until you see some troopers...on Bronze, and I think up through Silver, if you Purge the Fortification, you can one-shot up to a Centurion with Heavy Melee. So you try to Heavy Melee two targets, which sets off Rage mode, at which point the cooldown for Fortification's reset, so you can get your armor buff back, now with more increased damage resistance, and the ability to one-shot anything short of a phantom. And if you do see a phantom while Enraged, you simply purge the Fort armor again and you should be able to one-shot her too. At least, I normally do on Bronze, especially if she's not looking my way. I think their damage resistance goes up during their little flip thingies (I've heard this is true for Drell too).

But anyways, so you go about giant Melee kill chains with a bunch of uber damage resistance. What's really fun is being enraged and staring an Atlas in the face like, "I'mma punch you now."

Dealing with an Atlas as a Krogan Soldier is similar to how you deal with one as a Vanguard: you charge them with heavy melee, and shotgun and carnage while moving back to cover while the Atlas takes a swing and (ideally) misses. You need to wait for him to right himself again: the key is to not hit him again too quickly, so that he's done recovering from his last stagger when you go in for the next melee. If you go too quickly, he'll backhand you, or worse, insta-kill.

On Bronze, a Krogan Soldier can essentially rolfstomp his way up through about Wave 7-8 before he needs to start taking care of not getting overwhelmed if he runs off to have fun off in some half of the map by himself. On Silver or, god forbid, Gold, Krogan Soldiers are great to have as vanguards (as in, the actual definition) within the friendly lines to clean up people who try running through them while snipers deal with long distance targets.

As for builds, you have two basic options: maximize melee damage, or maximize damage resistance. No matter what, you're going to want full Fortification and full Rage; I personally am going to roll with Melee damage on my Soldier for the time being and, should I ever unlock a Sentinel on the main game, I'd probably go with max damage resistance for him. Carnage is great, but it's not really the mainstay of a Krogan's abilities; I roll into battle with only a Claymore and essentially cover my teammates by forcing myself to focus only on the people who get close...except on Bronze, where I'll just wade into the enemy swinging. So I went with getting Rage to 2 kills in 30 seconds, and worked on the Melee damage bonus side of Fortification's buff. For Carnage I specced it fully into damage for the mid-range tank shell blast before closing distance (it's also nice to hit Centurions with to soften them up before a melee hit), but I use it seldom enough that I didn't feel the need to take the recovery speed. And Inferno grenades I really only use against Guardians, so I put 3 levels' investment in to those and just didn't take the 6th point of the passive skill.

Krogan is pretty amazing. A bit too melee oriented for my taste, but amazing none the less. Its always nice having a Krogan on my team.. When they're not getting insta killed(Grab Kill) by Atlas's.

I love playing the Krogan, but it takes a while to get used to his heavy melee's hitbox - it's a lot different from what you're used to with the melee on all other characters.

[Ealos]

The only thing the class has that frustrates me is not having a fast way of reaching the enemy (like a vanguard charge). Played with a team of excellent snipers (on bronze) who were massacring entire squads as they came around corners - by the time I got there there were only headless corpses. Got me thinking: I want a rocket propelled Krogan! The rebellions'd never have failed with some of those!

[CerberusSoldier]

I love the krogans

[Abrams216]

The best thing about krogan soldiers is returning all that pain to the phantoms. It was such a great moment to get revenge for all the times I was downed and insta-killed by them.

[VettoRyouzou]

Anyone else having Vanguard issues? Seems every game I am in the Vanguard rage quits.

[Epsilon330]

As a Krogan, I get to finally use my Boomstick of Death as a Broomstick of Death!
Sweeping up mooks into the closest wall; that's how any self-discerning Soldier should roll.

[stysiaq]

Krogan were the "win" definition since ME1. Now you can taste that awesomeness.

Krogans also represent the Element of Laughter.

[Ricvenart]

Go to Noveria, as Assault troopers are landing on the egde of the platform, heavy melee them and watch them fly. I cracked up so much first time I done it.
