Could a Justicar with the warp evolution bubble let it warp an enemy and then recast the bubble to detonate a biotic explosion?

You can't, same  as if u try detonating a warp with another warp.

[awesomeduo]

does anyone know the values that different abilities affect different damage types?
like overload and energy drain deal triple damage to barriers\\shields, overload does 6X with pierce, but does anyone have the values for the other abilities?

[rgeshevv]

I'm sorry if the question I have was answered before, but here it is.

Does the level of warp that count for the biotic explosion or the level of throw or both. I know that the levels of the powers are the key here, but I don't know if they both count, or just the primer/detonator.

Is there any difference between warp 3 and throw 6, or warp 6 and throw 3?

Edit: Never mind. Just find it out on the first page... you dummy... :]

Krogan Vanguard's BIOTIC barrier purging is not setting up//detonating any combos ? Not cool ...

Can Sabotage set up a Tech Burst on units it does nothing on like Banshees, Phantoms, Ravagers?

If maybe the other tech power is cast in close succesion? I am guessing no, but it will give me an extra option if yes.

I have not seen it tech burst. It really should though.

I have noted that any kind of forceful gun, most commonly the Geth Plasma Shotgun will trigger a Cryo blast if used on a frozen enemy for the kill.

This is a good post. Thanks!

Sabotouge sets off tech bursts if the enemy tries to shoot you with a not- hand -integrated -cannon

I'm having trouble with setting off Fire Explosions with my Salarian Engineer on Gold. I Incinerate when low then while the DOT is ticking and they're visibily burning I do ED which causes them to die, but I'm not seeing the Fire explosion.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there any other way for a Salarian Engineer to combo reliably?

Sounds like you have it right...normally you would see a big bang and all the dead enemies flying outwards.
They are tricky to set up however...any active power will trigger incinerate not just ED.(ammo powers)
Also inferno ammo will set a target up for a blast that can be triggered by incinerate for a fire blast.
I just try to hit as many weak enemies with incinerate as I can and try to trigger a burst when opportunity presents.
Teamates can be a great help though and the end results of a full power fire blast are pretty impressive.

Oh another trick is to use area incinerate on a prime so that its turret is also primed with flame then ED/overlaid the turret for a blast...that works well and will shred anything nearbye.

Can I assume that a Justicar can not use Pull to detonate a biotic explosion.

[Sinaqui]

Sending this topic back up to the front page for a bit because it has useful information.

[Ciam]

I would ask if this is possible:

Geth turret (flame thrower on 6) + Overload = fire explosion
or maybe
Overload + Geth turret (flame thrower on 6) = tech burst

I'm full support now then I don't have the flame thrower atm, it's why I'm asking. Thx.

[Fonz99]

Awesome.... Just commenting so I can come back to this thread easy

I totally forgot about that one. Geth Turret can in fact set up Fire Explosions, but it cannot set off Tech Bursts.


OP updated.
-Added Geth Turret (fllamethrower upgrade) to the list of powers able to set up Fire Explosions.

[SWkazashi]

Excellent list. Helped a lot. thanks!

You sure about that? I'm getting Tech Bursts all the time with my Geth Engineer, I'm pretty much spamming overload when the flamethrower is on and it does those bursts. I don't have disrupter ammo on my SMG and it happens even if there are no other tech people in the game.

[G0Dmode]

yeah,I think I've seen my geth turret set off tech bursts but I am uncertain. only seen it a handful of times. usually going for fire detonations. and am I understanding this correctly? geth flame turret can set fire explosions but quarian flame turret cannot?? I was recently trying to detonate her flames enemies with her incinerate and it wasn't working...

but I've also encountered the issue with salarian engineer being unable to detonate fire explosions after using DoT incinerate on enemies. Though other times it works fine. I attributed it to being a glitch with either the engineer revolving around his energy drain or revolving around the fact that I wasn't hosting.

@Grimling: were you hosting the game in which you failed to detonate your incinerates fire explosions? did you take the armor boost evolution? radius? I believe this could be a glitch revolving around the armor boost or not hosting because sometimes you dont even see the visual armor boost effect. I am unsure as to whether or not this means you are not getting the damage boost or if the visual is merely hidden

The wiki says energy drain will only detonate a fire explosion on a synthetic enemy.
So does the rocket from a drone set up a fire explosion since it is basically a weak inceinerate?

[C4440]

Something I don't see here is Barrier Detonate, it can set up Biotic explosions as well, and I am not sure yet but it seems to detonate enemies within B Sphere as well.

[kiko1287]

This thread deserves to be at the top of the board with a sticky. Thank you very much, very informative.

[snackrat]

Or you can just read this page: http://masseffect.wi...ki/Power_Combos which includes Biotic Explosions, Tech Bursts, Flame Explosions and Cryo Explosions.

Most powers are classified as either 'primers' or 'detonators'. Any primer and any detonator used in sequence will work (biotic/biotic, or tech/tech - never cross-style).

Some powers are classified as both but cannot be used double - for example, warp and reave.
So one can prime with pull and detonate with warp... or prime with warp and detonate with throw.
