I've never actually had a cryo blast freeze an unshielded phantom solid. Is there any particular reason for this


Yes, they are immune to its solid freeze effect. That will only work against any other unshielded enemy, atlas and turrets excluded obviously. Cryo still slow them down a notch and the increased damage isn't that bad.

Shouldn't let her get close. Anyway, cryo blast, then throw down a maxed out flamerthrower turret, then back off to a safe distance and shot her in the head repeatedly with the most powerful weapon you have, preferably a carnifex or a widow.

widow is an absolutely atrocious weapon for any power-based class

use the carnifex, and lacking that, a predator or phalanx


I've had good results with it. Moved to carnifex for gold runs. But in silver and bronze, I'm just going to go with the most baddass looking weapon (and don't say I'm selfish for being a "bad teammate", I don't play public servers anymore).

You can be as nerfed as you want if looking cool is important Tangster, I'm just saying it's definitely not optimal

I know it's not optimal. But you don't need to be optimal to run silver and bronze, just play the way you enjoy it, with likeminded people. I'll bring a "proper" loadout for a public server.:innocent:

It's threads like this, that make me think that the quarian engineer might as well throw wrenches at his enemies, without loosing any punch whatsoever.

Her. Her enemies.

Quarian Engies are female.

I use turrets incinerate and scimitar fire. I should've specced turret for flamethrower but it still helps.

Any particular reason for this? There are plenty of other powers out there that work just fine against a debuffed phantom. It's possible to knock her down with lots of different abilities, so what harm would there be in her freezing solid? Once she's disabled, she dies prety quickly anyway.

Improving cryoblast might result in the human infiltrator and quarian engineer actually being useful. They can't possibly do that! Just imagine a phantom being frozen and rendered immobile. Would be too easy...

Run away until you find the Asari adept, human vanguard, or Krogan soldier on your team then sit back and watch them do it.



^^^ Person very wise, yes they are.

Follow their advice. You will live till the end of the wave that way.Hiding behind Krogan skirt tails is very effective.

 If you are the last person left in a wave just go throw yourself on the phantom's sword and put yourself and all the spectator's out of misery by impaling yourself quickly.

I timed a quarian for ten minutes trying to deal with this issue in spectator mode wihing something would kill them.

I drop flame turrets as I retreat past a choke point, wait for it to come after then shotgun right in the face.

Flamethrower turret. Cryo Blast. Incinerate. Headshot.

Repeat as many times as necessary.

Use cryo to slow them down, there's a skill that makes chilled enemies even slower. Throw a turret down. Shoot them them till their barrier drops and then start hitting them with incinerate.
