I came across this by chance the other night and spent most of today repeating the circumstances. I couldn't find any similar topics on the forums about it. As far as I'm aware, this is not a widely known issue nor is it an exploit (clarification and an official stance from Bioware would be nice). It does not involve map hacking or any devious methods; all I use are what's provided in game.

How do you do it?

You stand on a ramp/stairs.
Congratulations. You are now immune to synch-kills. Here's a video demonstrating: www.youtube.com/watch

Why post this?

I figured there would be a few people in the know who would be unhappy about me posting this, but I imagine one of three things is likely:

1. Bioware either can't or chooses not to fix it. Avoiding synch-kills like this is not an instant win button aside from a few rare scenarios set up on purpose (similar to glacier/white
farming).
2. They do fix it and gameplay remains the same as it
always was (with an added bonus of vanguards laughing at banshees for a
week or two)
3. They nerf classes or buff the synch-kills. My only concern in making this more public knowledge.

Of course, my hope is they re-evaluate synch-kills all together but that's not exactly the easiest or cheapest fix. Still, I have faith the Bioware team will make a fair judgement call on what to do with this information. Until then, enjoy!

To repeat a technicality to get this working: You must be positioned higher or lower than the enemy with the sync-kill.

Standing directly besides the enemy puts you on the same vertical height as it, allowing them to sync-kill you on stairs.

In short, it only works because everyone with sync-kills have very poor vertical reach.


Posting this here as a reminder.

Sorcery, I tell ya, sorcery!!

I hope it's something as hard to fix as the Vanguard glitch. Now us Kroguards are immensely more powerful!

Can't belive nobody noticed this before. Congratulations for this find, Shoelesscosmonaut!
If this actually works on all maps, Vanguards will have a new dawn.
At least untill it is fixed (it could take a while).

I remember a match where two people medigelled while down, a banshee teleported through the wall ans synched both of them before they even regained control of the characters. It's out of control.

As it says in the video, it's easier on maps with longer stairs/ramps, but it will work everywhere. Those short stairs on Goddess? Works there. The ramps in White? Works there. The problem with those maps though is that it's really easy to get knocked back onto flat ground and grabbed.

Impressive Sir, this will be a useful tactic against these enemies, I'm definitely trying this out, one question, Would using other Vanguards be just as effective or is this only recommended for the Krogan Vanguard?

I imagine the reason it isn't more widely known is because:

A) Not a lot of the earlier maps have such long inclines
B) Most people run when Banshees show up and don't try to tank them

Any vanguard should work, Kroguard is just safer. I haven't tested it out extensively with my slayer or novaguard yet though.

While I don't "tank", I'll definitely keep this in mind. It's useful to know that I can safely shadow strike a banshee if they're standing on a ramp or stairs. :)
